Okay, now Harold Ford, Jr. has crossed the line:
Q. Jets or Giants?
A. I had breakfast about every morning when I am in town, or I should say, several mornings, at the Regency. I see my friends the Tisches. Steve Tisch is my close personal friend. I have been to more Giants games. I spent the holidays, I had lunch over the holidays with Woody Johnson. We met for the first time. I am happy for his team.
Q. Baseball?
A. I am a Yankees fan. I should say - have been to more Yankees games than Mets games. I have not been to the new Citi Field yet. I was at the old stadium for the Mets. I made several playoff games for the Yankees. This coming season, with classmates from Penn, who already have a group I am buying into.
1. Trick question, asshole, the correct answer to the football question is my beloved Buffalo Bills, who, as our esteemed former Gov. Mario Cuomo said, are "New York State's only team" (suck it, Giants and Jets fans). He didn't even have the valid excuse of being a longtime fan for either team. But then, I bet just-moved-here-Harold has never even heard of Mario Cuomo.
2. Notice how even on sports he can't even take a straight position. Football? "Well, I have breakfast with the Giants owner, but, um, I also like the Jets owner, too!" Baseball? "I'm a Yankees fan but let me also say that I haven't been to as many Mets games, so, um, I could like them too! Whatever New Yorkers want!"
3. Keep that elitism coming, Harold. "I have breakfast with the Giants owner, and I have lunch with the Jets owner!" That'll really help you connect with the common tailgater.
