Yanks Keep Posada

Written by Jason Singer on November 13, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

Like a desperate husband who pawns his wedding ring for $50, the New York Yankees drastically overpaid for Jorge Posada last night, as they hurried to re-sign the 36-year-old catcher before their exclusive right to negotiate with him disappeared at midnight. The team made Posada the highest-paid catcher in baseball, giving him a four-year, $52.4

Knicks Embarrassed In Home Loss

Written by Jason Singer on November 12, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

The fans at Madison Square Garden booed the New York Knicks so loudly at the end of yesterday’s game that you could barely hear the final buzzer sound. The Knicks had displayed their most woeful basketball yet this season, losing to the previously winless Miami Heat 75-72. The majority of the boos were directed at

Written by Jason Singer on November 12, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

The New York Giants got a real divisional test on Sunday, and the G-Men failed with true-blue flair. The Dallas Cowboys defeated New York 31-20, as Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens rode the Giants secondary like they were his personal mules. Owens racked up 125 yards and two touchdowns on the afternoon, flying past the

Broadway Shutting Down

Written by Jason Singer on November 9, 2007. Posted in Posts, Theater

As the busiest season of the year approaches, Broadway is turning off its lights, and no, it’s not so we don’t have to watch “Young Frankenstein,” the scarily unfunny new comedy from Mel Brooks (at least according to Ben Brantley). Last night, the stagehands’ union received the go-ahead from its parent union to begin striking,

Rangers Win Again

Written by Jason Singer on November 9, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

The fact that Sean Avery is an asshole worked out well for the New York Rangers last night. The 27-year-old forward, notorious throughout the National Hockey League for his trash-talking, goaded Pittsburgh forward Gary Roberts into a four-minute penalty and scored on the subsequent power play, leading New York to a 4-2 victory. “I definitely

Even though they’re still fucked up, the clergy is finally showing some maturity: Instead of harassing adolescent altar boys, they’ve graduated to talk-show hosts. Last week, Father David Ajemian, a priest from Boston, was arrested at NBC Studios here in New York when he tried to attend a taping of NBC’s “Late Night With Conan

Clemens Will Not Be A Yankee

Written by Jason Singer on November 8, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

For the 47th time in his career, Roger Clemens is retiring. Clemens, who’s sort of like baseball’s version of Brett Favre except he’s an unlikable jackass, informed the Houston Astros that he’s ready to start his personal-services contract with them. The contract states that Clemens will become a consultant with the team upon his retirement.

Yanks Interested In Cabrera

Written by Jason Singer on November 7, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

Like a shunned girlfriend on the rebound, the New York Yankees are already expressing interest in Florida’s Miguel Cabrera to replace Alex Rodriguez at third base. A-Rod and the Yankees’ four-year, tumultuous relationship ended last week with their messy divorce, but Rodriguez and his agent Scott Boras were thinking New York would change their minds

Knicks Get Big Win

Written by Jason Singer on November 7, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

The last time the New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets got together, they did their best Crips and Bloods impersonation, turning Madison Square Garden into a war zone. Last night, the two teams impersonated basketball players instead, and the Knicks came out on top, 119-112. New York had four players—Zach Randolph, Eddy Curry, Jamal Crawford
