Sorry I didn't publish last week. Hope everyone had a nice Easter, and if you were able to, enjoy some time off.

SPORTS: A tale of two Saturdays..

Last Saturday night, I sweated through the Rangers finishing off the Montreal Canadiens in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs., But man, was it ever fun! Heading to Penn Station after work, with the fans still filing out of the Garden, just reminded me of how much fun this city can be when we have post season action.

The Rangers surprised me with how well they played against Montreal, not only that they won, but the style they played... gritty, hard hitting hockey. They didn't just rely on their speed game, which in the playoffs, you simply can't survive if you think you are going to skate your way to a Stanley Cup. They played a complete game, with tight checking solid D, and of course speed.

Mostly, the King himself, Henrik Lundqvist had a bounce back series after a lackluster (by his standards) regular season. Watching Hank against Montreal was watching him as his vintage self. Carrying the team on his back.

Fast forward to this past Saturday and it was the complete opposite. Having lost Game 1 against the Ottawa Senators on a fluke goal by Erik Karlsson, the Rangers took 2 goal leads three different times in Game 2, only to give up the tying goal in the last minute of the third period before losing it in double OT.

And being that this was an afternoon soiree, I then had to drag through another 5 hours at the Post in absolute misery.

Look I can't say they mailed it in or didn't show up like last year against Pittsburgh when they clearly did both. But you have a two goal lead in the third period, play some f-cking defense and bail out your goalie. THEIR goalie, Craig Anderson, is a solid netminder who we routinely make look like Martin Broudeur. On a day where we got 5 goals past him, we give up 6.

Inexcusable.

And I could take some solace in the fact that the Mets took the first two games of their series in Washington DC this weekend, but holy $h-t have they been a disaster or what? Now even a moron like me knows that pennants aren't won or lost in April. We've got a TON of baseball left to play.

But the Mets first 31 games of the season are all against divisional opponents. These are the games that will come back to haunt you at the end of the season if you don't win them. With their record at 10-14, they have already put themselves behind the proverbial 8 ball.

Throw in that Yoenis Cespedes is back on the DL with a bad hamstring, Noah Syndergaard, after refusing an MRI to check on his "tired arm" (whatever the hell that means) having to leave his start against the Nationals on Sunday and the bullpen has deciding not to wait till October to start sucking, and well,

Let's just say this Saturday wasn't as much fun as last Saturday.


EXCEPT---- I got to take Timmy to Rangertown outside MSG. We took a couple of pictures together and he go to do the virtual reality that makes you feel like you are on the ice with the players. I was hoping some of the old time Rangers were there so I could take a few pictures with them, but he still got a kick out of it. Those were good times.




EDUCATION: Hot for Teacher(S)

I don't usually go for these teacher sleeps with student stories. The temptation is to make light of it, especially when it's female teacher/male student. When I see what the teacher usually looks like, my first reaction is "Why the f-ck would someone who looks like that want to fool around with some 16 year old oily faced geek?" as well as "Where the f-ck were these teachers when I was in high school?"

The reality is that no matter how you slice it, it's statutory rape, it's someone who should know better with someone who has no idea (and I don't care how much of a stud you fancied yourself being in high school, the fact is at that age, you have no idea about sex).

Having said all of that, a story I read this week blew my mind.

According to my pals at the NY Post, a former high school football player testified in a Louisiana courtroom that he not only kicked it to TWO teachers, he had them in a menage-a-trois!

When the now 19 year old student was 16, he began an affair with his English teacher, Shelly Dufresne. After their first roll in the hay, she set up a FB account under the name Madison Mexicano, (which overtakes Carlos Danger as the funniest fake name for sex I've heard) Dufresne chose the name because she thought the kid was Mexican. In fact, he testified that he resented the fact that she called him Mexican because he is in fact half Colombian.

But it didn't bother him enough to end the affair.

In fact they ramped things up by bringing in another English teacher, 26 year old Rachel Respess, for a threesome.

The whole thing began to go south when the dumb a$$ football star took some photos to show off to his teammates. It didn't take long for the word to get to the school's administration and the cops made the arrests in October, 2014.

The defense has tried to get the former student prosecuted for taking pictures of the teachers while they slept and have said that the sex couldn't have taken  place because the teen "couldn't get an erection."

One would think that if that last part was going to be these gal's defense, they'd better be prepared to go up the river, because what 16 year old male would have trouble getting it up with two teachers in bed with him? If they said he splooged before he got it on with them, (ala Jim from American Pie) that story I could buy.

Lo and behold the judge in the case found Dufresne not guilty, citing a lack of evidence. This despite the fact that she plead guilty to a lesser charge in another case related to this alleged crime.

As Dennis Miller once noted: William Kennedy Smith got off.... and then was found not guilty.

Next week is Tim's first communion, so not sure we're going to publish next week. Hopefully after that, I can get this back on schedule.

Have a Great Week
