Police video shows some John Q. Lawmen trying to capture a coyote over in Chelsea

Wile E. Coyote did manage to finally evade capture at 12th Ave and 24th and FOX News reports he was last seen up around 50th St.

Check out the video (And there is some rough policeman type language) of the 'chase' here.

Well, we've had friends driving LIRR trains, kids driving MTA Subway trains so why not children landing planes at JFK?

What could possibly go wrong? Now before we freak anybody out, the kid is well coached by no doubt a parent but how would YOU feel if you were able to hear what the captains of the flights heard recently coming into and going out of JFK? Did Johnny miss 'bring your kids to work and day and let them run the air traffic controls at one of this county's largest airports with one of the busiest air traffic volumes'?

Have a listen and tell us your thoughts.

Hoboken is going to try some radical thinking after last year's St. Patrick's Day debacle

Hoboken last year became the national poster child for too much green beer as many of you will recall. Johnny certainly got a lot of copy ink out of it. Now, in order to curtail the out of hand drunken mouth breathers (And good people of Hoboken we are not calling you mouthbreathers, just the drunken louts who ruin it for everyone. We have a mouthbreather of a mayor here in Jersey City, so we're even) the Mile Square City is going allow......... the bars to open four hours earlier.

We'll repeat that. The City of Hoboken will allow bars to open at 9 am instead of 1 pm last year. Johnny is loading up the Jersey City Desk Action News Truckasaurus on March 17th and we are gonna bring you every angle of the hot mess in Hoboken.

As a website that lives to comment on bad ideas, we endorse this plan with all our being.

Boy, people from Virginia need to mind themselves while visiting Jersey City

Alonso N. Shipp II of Richmond Virginia is a real jagoff and no longer welcome here. Ship not only punched a woman but said this while he did: "I hate these Jersey bi-----". Nice, you kiss your mother with that mouth Alonso?

You can read about Shipp's disgraceful trip to Jersey City, here

Today was a great day. Johnny got to wander around TriBeCa quite a bit and found out you CAN get some excellent grits for breakfast in Gotham. Try Bubby's at 120 Hudson if you're a grits fan. Damn fine bacon too.

If you're going to drink your lunch, may we suggest the Raccoon Lodge in scenic TriBeCa?

If it's after noon, it's time for Raccoon

A billboard in Newark is raising quite a kerfuffle

Johnny's got some foodie business in NYC this morning and afternoon so you'll have to give us your opinion on this story, one of civic decency or clever advertising out in Newark. Only you can tell us for sure...

What an incredible hockey game today. A game well worthy of it's gold medal prize. Full marks to Canada for winning, joining only the USA as teams to win gold on home soil. Never though has a silver medal been so rewarding. Johnny's not a touchy feely everybody wins when everybody plays kind of guy. He's a fierce sports competitor in the old school mold. Coming in to the games with no medal expectations and to take Canada to overtime in the gold medal game, this after beating them a week before, USA Hockey closed the gap immeasurably between themselves and Canada and Russia. A case could now be made a game between the USA and Canada is a tossup.

Gary Bettman, get your head out of your ass, quit the Napoleon thing and understand with NHL players the Olympic men's hockey tournament rivals the NCAA basketball tournament for excitement. Why? The great thing about the NCAA tourney is that any one of say 8 teams can win it. With the NHL players there are six teams who can win it (USA, Canada, Russia, Finland, Sweden and the Czech Republic) and a seventh (Slovakia) who can medal. Germany and Switzerland made huge improvements to their games from 2006. Gary, you HAVE to let the NHL players keep playing. If you have a worry about exposure ask your business partner to show the games in high def on the flagship NBC station like today. It's nice the earlier games were on MSNBC and CNBC but the USA and Canada games should always be live on the big network.

Being a Michigan State fan Johnny had always been a big Ryan Miller fan but it was enjoyable to cheer for and appreciate the talents of the Devils Zach Parise and Jamie Langenbrunner and the Rangers Ryan Callahan. Brian Rafalski you just keep playing like that for the Red Wings the rest of the year. Rafalski has been a godsend in Detroit (After all his cups here for the Devils) and it's nice he got to show off his qualities these last couple weeks.

A huge tip of the cap to team USA, they did us all proud. Herb Brooks is smiling.
