People are telling me I am nutty (in sense of “how do you have the time?”) starting another blog over at Sports Police, but so far it’s been fun and traffic is good!
One of the unexpected challenges for me is that I have a hard time keeping up on the Mets over there, since I don’t want to double publish content.
As I have mentioned, I’m looking for passionate sports fans who want to write about any of the local teams (email me [email protected]) – and Kevin is one of those who stepped up – he has posted a few about the Devils and this one that I liked about the Mets..
Think of this though: When fans of the team have had it — for this writer, it was about the first week in August when I started turning off SNY [SportsNet New York] — there are other things to do and other things to be entertained by. Imagine being Gary, Keith and Ron … or Howie, Wayne and Ed … who have no other choice than to be at CitiField and the road games, who have no other choice to watch every inning of those games and who have no other choice but to have to give the few still tuning in a reason not to turn the tube or radio off.

If you switched off SNY after August you missed some of the most entertaining broadcasts I have ever heard in my Baseball watching life!
I mean the games themselves stunk but what was happening on the field could hardly compare to:
1 – Keith loses his wallet. (I think Seinfeld must have wrote that episode!)
2 – Keith takes a tour of the Stadium. It was akin to watching a politican going around and kissing babies. Kieth meets up and spends 10 minutes taking pictures with what was likely the only 4 people who bothered to come to the stadium that day!
3 – New York Life – If you had not seen how a promotion so simple could get so screwed up and played with by the three of them you missed a great Three Stooges act!
By Mid September you hardly knew there was a game going on. It was one big monologue on all things mundane and comical.
Those were my top three. I’m sure there were more that others caught a giggle out of!
