WHAT'S POPPIN'?

 
1.20.10

Well, I promised our staff a retraction if the Jets actually won last week and here we are. I hope reaching the AFC Championship Game helps them sell their overpriced PSLs.

I tried to buy a Yankees mini-plan for 2010 yesterday and couldn't. It looks like they are going to sell out of full and partial season ticket plans (or come close) based on renewals and those people taking extra seats. Must be nice. I assume that doesn't include their outrageously priced seats near the rails. Their box office person didn't try to sell me those seats or any seats though, didn't even gather my data for a future sale.

I wonder what losing Bengie Molina, who took a one-year deal from the Giants instead of a two-year deal from the Mets, and not signing any pitchers has done for the Mets sales. It has to be pretty scary.

The Nets can't give them away. I predict Seton Hall will win more games than the Nets this year. It's all about the ping pong balls at this point. Is John Wall from Kentucky the number one pick and if so, a difference maker if the Nets get that pick? Where is this team going to play next year, by the way? It doesn't look like they've broken ground in Brooklyn and the Dec. 31 "deadline" is long gone. The Wizards are talking about trading everyone just to change the faces and the culture in the locker room after the Agent Zero fiasco, it's time for the Nets to do the same.

So Northeastern and Hofstra have eliminated their football programs. There was supposed to be a rally by football supporters at the Hofstra game last night, but they couldn't get anyone to go. That's a sign. They had 172 season ticket holders, no bowl revenue, 12 coaches, 90 athletes on scholarship, and a program that cost over $4.5 million per year. The University President decided to put that money into academics and stop the money pit. Good for him.

Best,


Dave Popkin, Partner
