Quotes of the day...

...have nothing to do with bloody London.


From Jeffrey Gural, "operator of the sports book" at the Meadowlands:

“The Yankees are killing us because they win every day, and the Mets are killing us because they lose every day.”

Runner-up, from Chris Christie himself:

“If you’re betting on anybody but the Mets, you’re doing pretty well.”

Second runner-up, from Chris Christie again:

“I know people who drive to the Vince Lombardi rest station just to make their bets, and then turn around and go back to the city.”

Yeah, you always did know the class acts, Chris.  

But of course they would go to the Vince Lombardi!  I mean, where the hell else are they going to go?  The Joyce Kilmer?  I don't think so—unless they're betting on trees.  The Clara Barton?  Uh, yeah, if they're trying to get off the EL.  The Thomas Edison, the Alexander Hamilton?  C'mon!
