It Just Didn’t Work
As a follow up to my daughter’s iPhone 5 woes, we finally declared it a piece of junk and swapped upgrade dates among phones to get her a new one. We had been basically playing crazy games (unplug, put in airplane mode, plug, restart, turn back on, dance the Macarena) just to get it to charge above 50%.
It just didn’t work.
Feel free to ask me when I’ll be switching from Android. You’ll hear the laughter all the way from Brooklyn…

I Know Nothing
Tom Brady channels his inner Sargent Schultz.
Brady also said he was not aware of the rules that govern the inflation levels of footballs until after an Oct. 16, 2014, game against the New York Jets.
Yet in 2006:
Brady sought Manning’s help because he felt a change by the competition committee would be advantageous for quarterbacks since most have specific preferences for how they like the football.
Former Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer told AZCentral.com that Brady also reached out to him several years ago regarding the footballs. He signed a letter for Brady to show support for a rule change.

NYC Subway Gets Modern (Someday)
The NYC Subway system is amazing. We have the most stations of any system in the world. Other systems cover more distance (NYC is very compact) and have more riders (China, Tokyo). And a few are older (London).
But none of them are 24/7.
That is a huge deal both in terms of the fact that you can always get home and in terms of maintenance. The NYC Subway system has no maintenance window. You shut something down, you piss someone off.
So this video is fascinating in terms of the challenges of modernizing a system that you can never shut down.

Tom Brady – Cheater
At least in the eyes of Jets fans…

Tabloid Fun With Brady
I had high hopes for the NY Daily News and NY Post today after Brady’s suspension was upheld, but smashing a phone just isn’t as funny as talking about his balls.
The Daily News was pretty conventional with bad puns:
Front:
Back:
The NY Post ignored it on the back cover and had this strange hybrid Gisele/Tom front cover.
Can’t say I understand it, but if it sells papers…

Yankees?
I think all Yankee fans approached this season with great trepidation. If the bullpen was as good as we thought, the starting pitching stayed healthy and a bunch of old guys returned to form we had a shot.
I listed those in decreasing order of likelihood at the beginning of the season. A-Rod and Teixeira playing like All Stars? Who saw that coming?
We’re all still holding our breath when Tanaka pitches, hoping his arm holds. CC Sabathia looks washed up. But the bullpen is everything we hoped and more. Betances/Miller covering the 8th and 9th with ERAs of 1.40 and 1.62 respectively and WHIP of 0.82 and 0.69 (Mariano who?).
So I’m slowing getting enthusiastic. Perhaps there will be September baseball this year…

How To Destroy Your Cell Phone
I’m not a Sen. Lindsey Graham fan, but after Trump yells out your cell phone number at a political stump speech, this is pretty amusing.
Though someone needs to point out to him that phone numbers aren’t tied to physical phones anymore…

I Hate Uber
There is a proposal in NYC to cap “for hire vehicles” (Uber, Lyft and black car services) growth to 1% for a year while they study traffic congestion.
Congestion in NYC is a real concern. But 1% for a year is pretty stupid, surely you can study this in a month or two. And while NYC taxis are probably better than most places in the world, a little competition is a good thing.
But Uber has robo-called me every single day for a week on this issue. Robo-calls are evil.
Annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying.
So I’m signing up for Lyft…
