We'll talk us some serious football and delve into the college game tomorrow.

Time for Jersey City, After Dark

Seton Hall hits late shot, beats St. Peter's 53-51

For 39 minutes plus last night at the Prudential Center, St. Peter's gave giant Seton Hall all they could handle. Leading 51-50 St. Peter's had to watch The Hall's Eugene Harvey hit a buzzer beating 3 pointer to lift the Big East Pirates to a 53-51 victory.

As we all know St. Peter's starts at home Tuesday morning at 6 am at the Yanitelli Center and as mentioned, ESPN will be carrying the game live. Johnny IS planning on being in attendance to get some pictures and give you all some live updates at this basketball McMuffin kind of day...

Jersey City Assistant Comptroller has been arrested for having sexual chats with supposed underage partners

If this is all true, thank heavens the "child" that Joseph Ambrosio was chatting with was an undercover police officer and Ambrosio was arrested and is spending his Friday in the lockup. The chats had been going on for months according to Hudson County officers with Ambrosio passing himself off as a 29 year old (He's really 41) and chatting sexually with what he thought to be a 13 year old girl. Worse, if it can get worse, Ambrosio was apparently carrying on his discussions from his Jersey City work computer.

Look, this is worse than the graft arrests, this guy, if this is proven in court, is a predator. What kinds of people are we as a city electing and then allowing to be appointed to jobs here? Jersey City, we're a laughingstock and there's nothing funny about any of it. Steal, take bribes, lie about it, meet at the pancake house to get a cereal box filled with $90 large in cash and now people inside the city government on work time trolling for children?

We need to clean house and by clean house Johnny means a thorough house cleaning. If you see a city vehicle sitting around for hours doing nothing yet most likely collecting tax dollars, use your cell phone, take a picture, get the VIN and people in it, and send it HERE, right to us here and we'll happily post the slackers. See a city or county worker acting the fool, send it to us, we'll shame them. Enough is enough and on election day next, CLEAN OUR HOUSE JERSEY CITY, clean it good.

Wow, Rutgers opened the can of whup ass on South Florida tonight crushing the Bulls 31-0. South Florida was rated #23 in the nation coming into the game but will make the long plane ride home from Piscataway in silence is our guess. A HUGE win by the Scarlet Knights. They are now 7-2 overall and 2-2 in the Big East.

So, Johnny is reading his new copy of Time Out New York

And, since he saw Neko Case's name on the cover no doubt in advance of her show at the Beacon Theater Monday, he flipped right to that page. It was there he saw an error so egregious about Ms. Case by writer Sophie Harris we had to get into the newsroom and tap off a correction. Ms. Harris claims that the New Pornographers, Case's side project while not on tour herself which she did long before there were New Pornographers to speak of, was the "Band that launched Case".

Dear lord where to begin. We'll just be polite and tell you kids to do your own research on this and tell you she's toured with several groupings including the one she's with now, fantastic one she's touring with now, and that she was an item long before she cut any tape with the New Pornographers.

Johnny can barely run THIS dump let alone correct and edit Time Out New York.....
