Bart Scott Trademarks "Can't Wait", Gravity

It's no secret that the Jets' Bart Scott is insane. Exhibit A:

Incredibly, that wasn't the silliest thing Scott did during the winter. The linebacker trademarked the phrase "Can't Wait"  after that crazy postgame interview with Sal Paolantonio. Apparently, he never heard the phrase used before during his frequent conversations with the Ultimate Warrior. Despite having an econ degree from Southern Illinois (Clyde Frazier FTW), Scott likely didn't take any marketing classes and he has made no money off the phrase, presumably because people use it millions of times a day. Also, maybe Scott forgot that the Jets didn't make the Super Bowl. I have been told, however, that his brother, Michael Scott, is very impressed by his business savvy.

New Jersey Downgraded

New Jersey's bond rating was downgraded from AA to AA- by Standard & Poor's today due to out-of-control pension and health care costs. The state has a $53.9 billion pension deficit and owes $66.8 billion in medical bills for retired employees. I'm no finance major (well, actually I am) but that's a lot of money. Throw in Snooki's drinking problem and the 15-37 Nets and things aren't looking too great for the Garden State. It's no surprise, though. The geniuses in Jersey make the losers in Long Island look like rocket scientists. That's what happens when you pad that overtime before you retire, kids. It a serious problem that's happening all over the country due to poor planning and it's going to take some tough decisions and smart guys to sort it all out. I think Chris Christie might be one of those guys.
