Brooklyn More Or Less
Joe Nets Fan
By Joe
Here's one we missed from last month.
A NJ Nets fan is tracking developments (or lack thereof) here in Brooklyn and paying attention to how the "feel-good story" has a few holes in it and how "aside from Ratner losing millions each year while waiting for this plan to get out of the courts and into development, it was a perfect plan."
Meanwhile, there was a perfectly good, brand new arena being built in Newark for the Devils. Why the Nets couldn't just move there, and STAY in New Jersey, is beyond me. Probably because some billionaire couldn't line his pockets under the guise of civic pride.
Joe pledges to keep an eye on things, though he isn't optimistic about his chances of keeping his team in NJ or his future in blogging.
We'll look at the Brooklyn trials and tribulations as we move through this season, and milestones are either met or missed. After all, if the move does go through, it'll put this site out of business.
NoLandGrab: Since WE want nothing more than to be put out of business, keeping the Nets in NJ would definitely be a win-win for NLG and Joe.
Can some judge, please, make us happy?
[Yes, we know that was pathetic.]
