From trying to get an affordable U.S. Open experience to watching the big-pocket Mets sulk at the bottom of the league, sports are growing increasingly harder to watch.
Homer Simpson once declared, upon winning an award for gaining the most weight since high school, it was because he “discovered a meal between breakfast and brunch.”Tennis’ U.S. Open now annually reminds me of the Broadway show “Oliver!” Based on Charles Dickens’ 1833 novel “Oliver Twist,” it’s about a ragged kid forced to hustle a meal or a tuppence in an impoverished section of London.
As always, tickets to popular events carry the stench of fleecing well above face value. There is an inescapable aroma of negotiated demand-driven pricing. The Open is allowing an outside entity, Ticketmaster, to establish its ticket-pricing. That is not just absurd, it’s malodorous. I listened to him all of last weekend when the Yankees played at the Rays, and not once did he fail to tell me something I wanted or needed to know.As a Jets wide receiver from 1996-99, Keyshawn Johnson was an all-about-me braggart who was so self-absorbed that he belittled the overachievements of 5-foot-9 teammate and fellow receiver Wayne Chrebet. Johnson made himself difficult to indulge.
Via social media, Griffin wrote: “It’s official. The 49ers decision to give up three first-round picks to move up and draft Trey Lance is THE WORST DRAFT DAY MOVE OF ALL TIME.”
