Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, said today that the Republican Party in the negotiations to avoid the nation falling off the fiscal cliff has the same problem as the Jets: They don't have a quarterback to follow.
Yes it's a slam on the Repubs but I'm talkin' now about the slam on the Jets. Hey, it's one thing for the quarterback fiasco (I'm refraining out of politeness from calling it an embarrassment) to be water cooler fodder in the tri-state, but when it's suddenly fair game for ridicule in the Beltway, well then that's when it becomes a story.
So forget about the squabbles trying to prevent the country from falling off a fiscal cliff, hey, Jets, get yourselves organized! I'm just sayin'.
Rob Powers will have any new water cooler Jets material, tonight at 11 in his sports report.
Also at 11, Jim Dolan is looking into a disturbing story about folks who bought tickets to the "12/12/12 The Concert for Sandy Relief" turning around and scalping them on the web.
That may be okay for a football game, but for a concert to benefit the survivors of the Sandy disaster? C'mon! Donate that scalped money to the victims, right? Now, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer is urging the big ticket agencies and resale websites to stop these benefit-robbing scalpers.
We'll also have any breaking news of the night, plus Meteorologist Lee Goldberg's AccuWeather forecast. I hope you can join Sade Baderinwa and me, tonight at 11.
