    First the Jets, now the Yankees?!

    Here goes more tax payer money to another stadium in the city. Maybe Buffalo should jump on board since the state seems so willing to just hand out cash for new stadiums.

    The New York Yankees are close to reaching an agreement with city and state governments to build a new stadium, the Daily News reported Saturday.

        They should. They have spent more ($880 million) in payroll and luxury taxes since their last World Series win.

        It's an investment that will pay off.

                as long as they're paying for it themselves. I don't even pay taxes in NYS anymore, but the amount of WNY money used to support that city makes me sick to my stomach.

                  I wish WNY could seceed. Chop of the eastern end of NY and Penn and make them a state and WNY and Western PA a state.

                    Giants are paying for everything! The Mets have offered the same thing! The Jets new place will never be built!

                          Ummmmm. It's April. I'm sure the Yankees are quaking since there's roughly 150 games to go. Yeah, they're definitely out of it. Might as well fire everyone. Yeah, Joe Torre Sucks. Not even he can get those high priced players to perform. Those 4 Wold championships he has to his credit with the team mean absolutely nothing. What a bunch of losers.
