This is news

The New York Giants will open their brand new $1.7 billion stadium on Sunday, September 12. The New York Jets will play their home opener in the same stadium on Monday, September 13. The Jets apparently got their frilly green panties in a bunch on the decision-making process here, and have gone public with their kvetching. It's a good thing nothing else in sports is going on this week, or else there's no way the morning sports talk radio shows would be able to ignore it all and talk about nothing else. It may be an overreaction, but people who spend more than 5 or 10 seconds worrying about the NFL in March should be executed. Just to be safe we should probably eliminate any direct relatives so they could not spread that defective DNA throughout the rest of the world.

In significantly more important news, Versus and DirecTV have come to an agreement allowing the channel to return to the satellite airwaves just in time for the impending NHL playoffs. This is good news for all NFL fans bemoaning the lack of sports in March as I am significantly less likely to stab them in the face. Unless they stick their face between me and the hockey playoffs on TV, in which case we can all agree they were asking for it.
