Woo Hoo! Don't expect much from the Jersey City Desk staff today, we have far too many bets placed on games across the USA today to worry about news reporting.
Here's today's local news: The Devil's Ilya Kovalchuk's contract which the NHL had rejected as trying to circumvent the salary cap was approved so indeed Kovalchuk is a Devil for life.
Now, back to football...

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with DEPECHE MODE!
Dave Gahan and the lads kicking off tonight's music series with the synth pop classic 'Policy of Truth'.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE SMITHS!
Burn down the disco, hang the blessed DJ, because the music that they constantly play, it says nothing to me about my life...
Ain't that the story of radio the last 25 years?
The Smiths with 'Panic'.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JIMI HENDRIX!
Wanna know what Johnny noticed about Jimi Hendrix at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame display area dedicated to Jimi? How small a guy he really was. Not tall and certainly not wide. They had a stage costume he used on display compliments of his family and while cool was small.
Unlike his guitar.

Some Rutgers fans and writers need to chillax...
Unless of course they can show Johnny one team in the NCAA who plays their best game in the first week of the season. The biggest improvements any college football expert will tell you come between the first game and the second game so let's cut the Scarlet Knights some slack. Yes, it was an ugly, dreary mistake filled game. That's why Norfolk St. was the first opponent. Ohio State didn't start out last night with Miami (FL), that's next week, last night was Marshall.
Never has Johnny seen and heard so much needless consternation over a 31-0 win. If anybody wants to make an issue of it to the team it's head coach Greg Schiano who is VERY aware of his teams many mistakes last night.
It's Johnny's guess when sizing up bowl bids later this year will no Rutgers fans or writers will say "Yeah, they shouldn't play in a New Year's Day bowl game, I know they're right on the line to play in such a game but boy were they stinky back in early September against Norfolk State".

Late night open thread
Don't you just love it when people get their comeuppance? When people think they can lie because it's just how they handle such things. Johnny normally doesn't spend much if any time thinking about Paris Hilton but this was a phenomenal 'give 'em enough rope' moment. You know the purse that suddenly wasn't hers that had the cocaine in it? Why officer, that's not MINE how could you even think such a thing? Take a click at the picture and see how the age of the internet claimed it's most famous creation.
Michael Kelso used to have the perfect phrasing for this on That 70's Show:
"Oh BURN".

Tropical storm watches up, check, supplies laid in, check...
Intern Zoltron tied to the top of the Goldman Sachs building with a bucket to measure rain and a video camera, check.
Here we go kids. Tomorrow is shaping up to be quite a windy rainy day here in Cool City with winds in the 25-35 mph range with gusts as high as 50 mph tomorrow night, not too bad considering what could have been with the monster offshore being a category 3 storm.
So we wait but also for the benefits of this hurricane. It's gonna suck the crappy mid 90's and humid weather we've had since July 4th right with it (this was the hottest summer in New Jersey or New York ever recorded). Saturday will be in the mid 70's with lows Saturday night in the 50's. Yes, 50's! Sunday will be in the low 70's with Labor Day a cool 80 and sunny.
It's always sunny in Jersey City, except when it's not.

Raccoons as big as dogs or small children living la vida loca in NYC
Jersey City Desk good friend Trixie Action Space Punk shot Johnny this story yesterday and while Johnny may have exaggerated the size of the raccoons they are taking over Gotham. As Johnny can tell you, raccoons are extremely adaptable and very intelligent. They can break into a home through about any gap or potential opening they can exploit.
Thus far over 2,100 New Yorkers have called the city about a raccoon problem. Said councilman James Vacca:
"...But the question a lot of people are asking is, when does a nuisance become a menace? In an interview, Councilman James Vacca said with more than a hint of exasperation in his voice: “Years ago, people thought this was cute. Well, it’s not cute when a raccoon is scratching at your door at 2 in the morning.”
So New Yorkers, have you had reason to call the city? We'd love to hear from you (or if anyone anywhere else has a raccoon story to share).
One question we would like answered; If raccoons are pests and can cause destruction why oh why haven't Sarah Palin or Newt Gingrich complained that the raccoons have their own lodge two blocks from Ground Zero?
