For Anyone going tonight from NYC/LI LEAVE EXTRA EARLY

SoZKillA : 9/26/2024 9:52 am
5 Boroughs or LI, you wanna leave really early, school traffic, rush hour traffic, and its UN General Assembly most of Manhattan is shutdown/diverted. Israel Prime minster also in town so expect tons of protests as well(not making this political just a heads up)

Traffics gonna be an absolute nightmare.

Why the NFL would schedule a weekday night game during UNGA is beyond me, they did this 2 years ago on MNF and it was a disaster as well.
This is the NFL

they expect the world to schedule around them.
I'm in NYC today 52nd off Park

absolute nightmare.
If it works logistically for you

I remember Pope Francis’ visit in 2015 causing a logistical nightmare for a Giants TNF game.
Don’t think the NFL cares about  
UConn4523 : 9/26/2024 10:46 am : link
traffic, Giants/Cowboys will be packed regardless. They definitely don’t care if it’s convenient for you or not.

Years ago, someone on the board challenged another poster to meet them on that corner and for years we called that location the BBI duel spot
this is probably

Those were the days. For some reason I am thinking The Jake was involved in that. Am I mis-remembering that?
Oh man

Haha what year was that BBI fight thing? Did it ever go down?

And no the NFL doesn't care about Egypt visitors.

A long time ago ... 2010 or earlier, I think, maybe more like 2007. It never went down so far as I know. My office was right near there in those days. Funny thing is, I have no memory of what they were fighting over.
... and yeah, the weeks of the UNGA  
Del Shofner : 9/26/2024 3:32 pm : link
were always the worst in that neighborhood.

Definitely during the Superbowl years or earlier. And maybe The Jake wasn't involved in the first one but he certainly issued similar challenges afterwards.
All BBI disputes were settled on Columbus Circle

It was JoeMP2003 (or something like that). He made it into some Chris in Philly artwork. I forget who the other combatant was.
