Without Cus, Mike turned despicable both in and out of the ring. It was almost saddening to see such a waste of ta |
| A.I. was upset that his daughter had to hear about his problems with 'practice' at school. Wonder what she is going to hear about Mommy and Daddy now? |
| Here are some of the grumblings overheard recently at Whitey’s Pub... What do Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, and Allen Iverson have in common? Word at the Pub is that they are all dumb as a box of dirt. Joe Frazier though, was smart enough to surround himself with smarter people, and thus will be remembered as a winner. Mike Tyson could have been the greatest heavyweight of all time, but instead surrounded himself with “yes people” (cause he’s as dumb as a stick). He didn’t do the things he needed to do in his career and his life, and his laziness and poor judgement will be what people remember most about Iron Mike. A.I. may be one of the bravest and gamest basketball players of his time, but his desire to “keep it real” and not do what “the man” says, will probably put him out of basketball in about three years. Hey A.I., why don’t you work on your frail body in the off season, and SET the example in practice every day next year. It would amaze you at how much crap you can get away with then... Edith Wloka, Medford Having worked in Pennsylvania for over ten years, I think it’s safe to say that I can call the PENDOT organization a bunch of complete horses asses. Here’s an idea... Let's do major construction on a major artery on the east coast, through a major city. Then just for kicks, once or twice a week run a few “Roving PENDOT Crews” to further close a couple of lanes. I almost NEVER see anyone doing anything on these crews. What’s up with that? I also know for a fact that it took the good people at PENDOT over two years to repave and recurb an overpass, roughly half the size of a city block... Geez we hate them!!! Earl Dickens, Deptford “Unions helped build this great nation, unions will help tear it down as well”. Thanks to just two unions mentioned here... New Jersey will pay the average schoolteacher over $51,000 for 10 months work. Is there something here that we're missing? Don’t get us wrong, we think the teachers do a great job with out kids, our most important resource. But most teachers only have a BA, they get 2-3 weeks off during yearly breaks, every major holiday, personal days, sick days, and even Election Day off (Biggest headscratcher yet- If I can vote AND make it to work, how come state employees can't do the same? All they have to do is walk down the damn hall!). Because of their powerful union, NJ taxpayers will continue to bare the load of increasing salaries. Why can’t the state "just say no" to any to raises for a year or two until we are in better financial shape? God forbid. Last year Pubmaster Whitey’s company closed, but the parent company made him an offer. Either accept the layoff, or transfer to another division for 25% less pay. Being out of work was worse then accepting less money. Perhaps the teachers union should take note. How about the MLB Players Union. Great Union, raising salaries from on average $56,000 in 1976 to over two million this season. The only problem is that the very league that pays them handsomely for playing a children’s game is pretty much ruined, except for those lucky fans in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. How about a 6 team league? Boy I bet it would be pretty exciting baseball. In this case, it’s actually the owner’s fault for offering such obscene sums of money. However, MLB that pays the players is powerless to end this madness. The Great American Pastime needs fixin’. A work stoppage is imminent, almost welcomed... Hal Ford, Philly Just a few things the folks have been heard talking about, over beers and nuts at the Pub. |
