Can't Stop the Bleeding comments on the Nets staying in New Jersey till 2010:

It’s funny that [New York City] didn’t just give him the money, because the city’s totally flush right now and Bruce shot the moon on his similarly expensive MetroTech Center, which recently changed its corporate motto from “We Have Our Own R Train Stop!” to “Now 60% Occupied.” Still, while some could’ve or should’ve seen Ratner’s problems coming, it seems like Jersey’s willing to let him and his team crash at least until the second year of the Vilsack/Obama administration. For their kindness, they get to…not have to subsidize the franchise quite so much.
