So what happens is that the law firms and lobbyists get all the best seats because they've been on the list for years.<br /><br />So when you go to something like a Caps game, the first couple rows are often mostly empty and when they aren't, the guys sitting there are in suits talking about contracts -- I've actually been one of those guys on several occasions. The firm I was with had seats behind homeplate at Camden Yards in Baltimore too. And if you end up on the club level, which we had access to, you really lose touch with sports entirely. They have restaurants that are serving things like Rockfish and Prime Rib?!! WTF!! Hotdogs people. . . hotdogs!<br /><br />P.S.

They should be able to contribute at least one, and maybe two Republicans to the Senate. But none of them want to run?!<br /><br /><br />I totally agree about real football. There is nothing like a snow game or a mud game. This idea that football should be played on carpet in 75 degree whether is ridiculous. And I have no sympathy for the argument the sportswriter jerks are making: "think of the poor fans who need to sit in it."<br /><br />First of all, real fans don't care. I've frozen my rear end at games, and honestly those are more memorable. Secondly, these aren't real fans -- these are CEOs and lobbyists who used connections to get their seats. Their tepid support for the teams is ruining the Superbowl. Let's get this sucker back to places like Green Bay and outside in Minnesota, and turn it back over to actual fans -- not fair weather fans!AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-86986925376319130612010-06-26T19:14:12.096-04:002010-06-26T19:14:12.096-04:00Scott, yes!

There haven't been that many cuts for Manhattan dwellers, just cuts in redundant bus routes. It's the Borough dwellers that will bear the brunt, but again many of the cuts are redundancies.

Truth be told, I mostly use the PATH Train but since I got this new temp job, I've been using the subway a lot. I've managed to successfully navigate my way through the 34th St. - Herald Square station. The shuddering of the W line won't affect me but whose to say I'll be lucky with the next round of cuts? <br /><br />And Monday marks three months since I moved up here. It feels like I've been up here longer! I'm still in the enthusiastic "Wow, skyscrapers!" phase. I'm sure I'll eventually grow out of it but for now, all I can say is, "I like this city. It's exciting!"<br /><br />And I can't take David Patterson seriously after watching Fred Armisen's impression of him on SNL: "You know what else stinks?
