Eye On The Ball....

Ever hear the saying - "Keep your eye on the ball?"

Well of course you did silly. Everyone has...

Except this little rugrat....

NJ

At this very moment, I am sitting in the automotive wing at work next to Perri, Gulish, Gramuglia, Centinaro and Testa...And I cannot stop laughing - they sure know how to accomodate their friends from NY.

Nice...

Hypocracy At Its Finest.....

So in Wednesday's NY Daily News, football columnist Gary Myers writes a story entitled: "Believe me, Eagles won't beat the Giants on Sunday"

Here are a couple of notes in that story -

"Giants 23, Eagles 13."
"It should be noted that last year, right here in your Daily News, I not only predicted each of the Giants' four playoff victories, including the huge upset of the Patriots in the Super Bowl, but had the margin of victory just about on the nose each week. Just wanted to point that out."

So Philly defeats NY 23-11. And in today's edition, Gary Myers' story today sums up Giants head Coach Tom Coughlin and how he was not able to perform miracles this postseason.

Well that's all fine and dandy.

But do you think the egomaniacal Myers would even acknowledge his incorrect prediction?

Of course not.

SNL...

Growing up in the 80's, I became a huge Saturday Night Live (SNL) fan until several of the personalities left the show to pursue movie/sitcom careers....

I'd say I have not watched an episode of SNL in over 10 years.

However this recent bit may be their most creative one ever....
