‘Wait and see’ draft for Blue.
So it begins. Now that my New York Rangers have disappointed me for 41 out of my 42 years on planet earth and 76 out of the last 77 years overall, with the lone exception being the year they rented the 1980s Oilers, a few Russians, and sprinkled in the great Brian Leetch, I’m officially ready for Giants football. The next phase of the year awaits the 12th Family and me. Mrs. 12 is now thrilled that sports have ended in our house until that first Giants preseason game because, let’s face it, baseball sucks and Major League Baseball players are a bunch of overpaid crybabies who don’t deserve my time and effort.
To two of the biggest Devils fans I know, Ken Palmer and Staten Island Chris Bisignano, this is your chance to laugh at my misery. Starting … now ... okay, that’s enough. You are both loyal fans who should enjoy this. Although I must say you guys represent about 25 percent of the Devils fans in the Tri-State area. In fact I think the Red Bulls have a bigger fan base.
Anyway, on to football! Since the last edition of TGI there was an NFL draft in Filth City, USA. While most of humanity (you know, those of us who use toilets) watched in amazement as every player, former player, and NFL official introduced were booed, mocked, and ridiculed, Feathered Helmet fans basked in the glory of their one moment in the sun since John F. Kennedy was the President-Elect.
TGI should also point out that during Thursday and Friday of the draft, the collective stock prices of Duracell, Energizer, and Rayovac skyrocketed!
