The Mets Police

I got stuck in traffic on my way from Flushing to Yankee Stadium today.  The Triboro (I mean, cough, RFK bridge – horrible idea renaming that one by the way) – anyway the Formerly Triboro had a lot of traffic and I knew I was going to be late for the Yankee game.

So I flagged down an officer and told him my predicament.  He turned on his siren and escorted me to the stadium.  I was comfortably in my seats by game time.

Now some of you may not believe me, but this is a new service available to all citizens that the NYPD has started offering.  Since all men are created equal, and there is no caste system in the United States, nor would the NYPD ever provide special treatment for one particular citizen (oh say, Alex Rodriguez), the next time you find yourself late to a ballgame pull over a cop car and yell “Hey buddy, how about an escort?”

1.  Seahawks – Favre won’t head off into the sunset happy, and neither will Holmgren.

2.  Arizona – I have been writing this blog since 1948 and have made the same prediction every year.  Never been wrong.

3.  Rams – unless Martz returns….

…oh wait he is in San Francisco, a team nobody sees coming.   Watch for J.T. O’Sullivan and the Mike Martz offense to light up the scoreboard.   They may not win it all, but they may remind you of the recent Bengals teams.

1.  Giants – teams don’t repeat, the Giants were never that good to begin with, and there is a PSL Curse upon this franchise.

2.  Eagles – Donovan McNabb is back, they have great backs blah blah blah.   Never works out.

3.  Redskins – Daniel Snyder still owns the team.  Talent won’t matter, and they don’t have the talent.

Tony Romo is for real.   Get ready for a third generation of Cowboys fans living throughout the entire country.

1.  Dolphins – Tony Sparano won’t get whacked by Bill Parcells but when you are starting the Jets discard at QB, you ain’t winning.  That being said – they will finish ahead of the Jets.  Yes, Parcells is that smart.

2.  Jets – Brett is 39 running a new offense.  Plus they are the Jets, they have a curse, as done Madden ’09.   Look for Brett to have a miserable season playing in about 9 games.

3.  Bills – one foot out the door on their way to Toronto.   Not good for the fans, not good for the team.

Yeah I’m picking the Patriots.  You’d be an idiot not to.

Some of the more veteran ticket holders have gotten the invitation to fill out a survey about what tickets they would like in the new stadium, but if you know your log-in you can fill it out now.
