Bruce Almighty?
Daily News
We've all had Jehovah's Witnesses (and members of other religions) arrive on our doorstep spreading the word of God. This week, The Score found a few Ratner's Witnesses trying to spread the Gospel of Caring Bruce Ratner.Two well-dressed young men were going door-to-door Thursday in central Jersey trying to sell what they called a "Hometown Hero" plan, pinned to New Jersey star and current Net Jay Williams.
The plan, which would've cost The Score $39.99, included two free tickets and four buy-one, get-one-free deals for games early in the season. They even told us we could use the buy-one deal for the expensive floor seats, where a glance at Beyonce is worth the 40 beans right there.
When we asked if we could sleep on it and order the plan over the phone the next day, they told us "no," basically putting us in a take-it-or-leave-it situation. Here were the Nets, a team that can't wait to get out of New Jersey, going door-to-door in the Garden State pushing a promotion linked to a guy who might not even make the team.
