I hear New Jersey got first pick... 
ANYWAYS...
Have you been to Rutherford to see the new stadium? Planning on seeing any games? I hear a PIZZA at JerryWorld will set you back $60 bucks!! Wonder what the prices will be like by you??
I agree - it's gotten out of control, but as long as people shell out the bucks, they'll keep raising prices. It is impossible to get tickets for a Habs game in Montreal, but I lived in FL for awhile and managed to see them a handful of times...and didn't have to sell my firstborn to do it!! 
Back to A-Rod...another case of entitlement. You hear what Torre had to say about him? (and you know Joe is about as down to earth as you can get...)
How do people get like this???? Albert Haynesworth not showing up and crying for a trade because he doesn't want to play nose tackle!!!!
I gotta stop before I throw something at the TV!
Are you a Sanchez fan? Or Peyton's kid brother... |
It's not just all toxic waste dumps my brother. There's a yellow stain in the sky above Newark & Elizabeth as if God Himself decided to urinate on us all!
I have to say I've never been inside of Giants Stadium for a game in my entire life. They have to be some of the hardest tickets to come by. Unless you were a Jets fan until recently. Then it probably wasn't that hard to get in
. I'm a Giants fan & I think they've been sold out on season tickets since the days of Lawrence Taylor. I know people that make the trip to Philadelphia or Washington DC just to see the Giants play because they can't get in. I feel your pain with the Habs. Funny how you have to go to Florida where there IS NO ICE just to see your favorite hockey team play (I know you said you lived there).
Even season ticket holders were bent over the rails when they built this new stadium. Both Giants & Jets fans who purchased seats decades ago were extorted for thousands of more $ by the franchises because of the PSL's or whatever they're called. The biggest rip off in sports history if you ask me. If you buy 1 of these licenses for the seat, it only covers the game. It's not like you get to see say... Bruce Springsteen if he's playing Giants Stadium. You could technically buy a ticket for that & wind up in an entirely different section of the stadium. It drives me batshit crazy! I have a cousin who had his Jets season tickets willed to him from his grandfather. The Jets wanted an additional $20,000 on top of the ticket prices for him to keep his seats! He had a mortgage to pay so he couldn't do it.
It's sad to say, but the hardcore Giants fan is stuck outside the stadium, tailgating in the parking lot & watching it on TV. I've been to some of those gatherings outside. These people deserve better than this. It's like something out of a bad medieval movie - the peasants outside the castle walls looking up at the monarchs.... disgusting!
A-Rod was the type of guy I was speaking of when mentioning passionless players. I think he cares way too much about what people think about him. Contrast that with Derek Jeter who's been known to dive full speed into the stands to catch a foul ball for an out. A-Rod would be too worried about scratching his face!
Last but not least... as I said I'm a Giants fan, so give me Eli over Sanchez any day of the week. Did you see how Sanchez was last year? Eating a hot dog during the game, scolding the media as if he had an entire season under his belt, commercials all over the place like he won something..... just gross.
But what does anybody really expect from a USC quarterback. Matt Leinert's the same way for Arizona. Those guys are superstars 1st & NFL players 2nd. I don't think everyone from USC is like that - just the QB's.
BTW, anyone ever see this movie?

It's a comedy that perfectly mocks the current state of sports in the US.
