Jon Heyman addresses the masses at Penn Station
I left the basement Tuesday on a fact-finding mission in Manhattan, the details of which I'll share in a couple of newspaper stories later in the week. But the excitement of seeing other humans and breathing fresh, New York City air were reason enough to consider it a good night.
First, I ran into a live Michael Kay radio show in the middle of Penn Station. I had a nice chat with producer Ryan T. Hurley. Michael waved, as it Don LeGreca.
They were listening to a phone hookup with my former Newsday colleague, Jon Heyman, whom I assume was talking about the World Series or the Yankees managerial opening or both.
Listening to Heyman's voice boom out over Penn Station, a thought occurred to me: Only in New York.
Later I met former Jets linebacker Greg Buttle in SNY's mid-town newsroom. He said his brother-in-law, Joe Allegro, graduated from Northport High School with me in 1978. Which is true.
Come to think of it, I guess none of that is all that interesting to most of you. But I shared it anyway, because that is what bloggers do.

This comment may seem a bit random, but it is in regard to WFAN and the lackluster talent they have on their air in certain spots. I have been an avid listener to this station for 10-plus years. I listen morning, afternoon and night and I am sick and tired of having to deal with these personalities that don't know sports.
Mike and the Mad Dog and Joe and Evan are great, I'll say that first. But Tony Paige? This guy does not know anything about sports. It's amazing to me that this clown is on the air. Not only is his voice annoying to listen to, but the callers know more about the world of sports than he does. Next time you listen to his show, think about it. He never responds to a question. He does his dumb "I don't have anything to say" laugh. When Harris Allen, the update guy, is able to get a few words in before his updates, he is more knowledgeable than the host.
My question is, how is this guy on the air and how long are we going to have to deal with him for. I switched over to ESPN 1050 for my late night listening. WFAN really needs to make a change.
That last comment seems a bit random.
