Tyrone Johnson — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 20:00:58 +0000

Hard to believe that is the final week of the regular season. The Giants control their own destiny for the NFC East title Sunday night, while the Jets need some help.

Soccer Fan's Have Got to Stop

Tyrone Johnson — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 04:15:20 +0000

Football fans have a reputation for being a little too rowdy. I am one and I know it is partially true. We drink a bit too much before the game at time. There is an occasional fight in the stands as well. I do know one thing though. We have NOTHING on European soccer fans.

An Opinion CAN Be Wrong

Tyrone Johnson — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:50:00 +0000

One of the biggest cliches in the world is the statement. “everyone has a right to their opinion”. While that is true and your right as a human being. It should NOT mean that you should be allowed to say rubbish things and have people accept that drivel. People are too often empowered by their [...]

Respect The Uniform

Joe Giglio — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 01:59:16 +0000

Just a Bit Outside dedicated the 8 o’clock hour to Santa suits, but it quickly divulged into a conversation about a mailman who wore a Santa suit on his route. As shocked and upset as me? I certainly hope so. It’s time someone stood up for the Postal Service. I love Santa as much as [...]

Green Out In MetLife

Joe Giglio — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 01:43:14 +0000

Even though MetLife Stadium is shared by both the Giants and Jets, the Christmas Eve showdown between the two franchises is a home game for Gang Green. Rex Ryan and the Jet brass want to make sure the crowd and atmosphere dictate that. The home fans are being asked to all wear green, creating what [...]

Fraud Wins Lamborghini, Quickly Crashes It

Tyrone Johnson — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 19:15:49 +0000

We all at times question our lot in life. We wonder why we weren't born into millions of dollars and complete frauds like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton were. Many times we all just wish we could get a taste of the high life for just a little while. David Dopp got that chance when he won a Lamborghini in a contest.

Rex: It's On Me

Joe Giglio — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 06:00:35 +0000

Most of the people who follow the National Football League know how it works with Rex Ryan. He's going to talk no matter what. Win or loss, the Jet coach will have something to say. Coming off of a 45-19 beating at the hands of the then 5-8 Philadelphia Eagles hasn't discouraged the chatter. Heading into the Christmas Eve showdown with the cross town New York Giants, Rex isn't just talking a big game. He's asking for the blame if his team doesn't perform.

This week: The Top 5 things I want for Christmas.

People Hate the Word "Whatever"

Tyrone Johnson — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 01:15:15 +0000

I think as Americans we have a lot of things we are good at. We are good at eating , we are great at sports, but what we are the best at is complaining. We like to complain so much that we even have a list of words we hate. No matter how many issue we have in our lives we still seem to have too much time.

100 Year Old Man Still Serving Drinks

Tyrone Johnson — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 19:30:07 +0000

I know almost everyone reading this is looking forward to the opportunity to retire. We know life is short and to survive we have to spend a lot of it working. People who decide to work their entire lives and never take a break upset and confuse me. 100 year old Ray Nauroth is still [...]

Kwanzaa: Fact Or Fiction?

Joe Giglio — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 01:46:50 +0000

A debate broke out during the Just a Bit Outside program this evening. Kwanzaa was the topic. Tyrone Johnson believe the holiday is fraudulent and isn't totally convinced that anyone celebrates it. Mike Krenek thinks some people perpetuate the myth because it's the politically correct thing to do. I believe in the wikipedia figure in which the African American Cultural Center estimates 30 million people celebrate the holiday on a yearly basis.

Driverless Cars are Coming

Tyrone Johnson — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 23:50:18 +0000

Twenty five years ago we all figured that the year 2000 would bring a world similar to The Jetsons, only with cell phones. Seriously, the creators of the show thought of almost everything OTHER then those. Almost 12 years later we still haven't gotten to the level I think we need to be. Google is one company that is trying to push things where they need to be.

Divorces are Everywhere this Holiday Season

Tyrone Johnson — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 18:45:01 +0000

This time of year is supposed to be the season of giving. Over the weekend most people were trying to scramble to get last minute gifts. A couple of sports legends were having a lot more trouble then just finding presents. Both Kobe Bryant and Deion Sanders are getting divorced.

Stop Giving Jesse Jackson a Microphone

Tyrone Johnson — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 03:45:34 +0000

I am embarrassed by Jesse Jackson. I have been for a long time. He hasn't been relevant since 1984. That means he is at LEAST 28 years past his prime. The best appearance he has made in a decade was on South Park and that wasn't even him. Yet for some reason every time there is a major issue somebody decides to give Jesse a platform to sound off.
