Tony The Q69 Bus Driver Defends Himself From "Fatal Attraction" Stalker

Tony The Q69 Bus Driver Defends Himself From "Fatal Attraction" Stalker

Burns, a married father of two, says it all began when Trapano—who frequently rode his line with her sister—passed him a handwritten note in April 2011: “She gave me a note telling me all about wanting to get together, [to] give her a call." He claims he put her off for awhile, but eventually she cornered him and he called her to clear everything up: “I called the lady, and I told her, I said: ‘Look, I read your letter. I appreciate your interest but I’m married and I don’t get involved with my passengers like that.’ ” more ›

Co-Workers Think Tony The Q69 Bus Driver Should Get A New Route

Co-Workers Think Tony The Q69 Bus Driver Should Get A New Route

This week, we learned way too much about Tony, the Q69 bus driver who has been the subject of a very public flyer campaign against him for more than a year. Apparently, Tony is a "flirt with all the women every day" who had a "One Night Stand" with a passenger—the scorned woman claims he got her with this pickup line: “I won’t forget your famous line, ‘Married men are lonely, too.’” Tony's coworkers have some advice for him: “She seems like a woman scorned,” one told the Post, “but if Tony is still working that line, he’s crazier than she is.” more ›

Photos: Somebody REALLY Hates Tony The Q69 Bus Driver
   

We suddenly feel like we know way more about Q69 bus driver Tony then we'd ever, EVER want to know: we were sent the above photos from a tipster, taken at 21st Street and Astoria Boulevard at the southbound Q69 stop. It appears that someone has been waging a one-person campaign against Tony—and this has been going on for several months, per Passive-Agressive Notes. more ›

Brutally Beaten Rangers Fan Says Attacker Flicked Cigarettes At Him First

Brutally Beaten Rangers Fan Says Attacker Flicked Cigarettes At Him First

The victim of a brutal beating following a Ranger-Flyers hockey game earlier this year spoke to NBC New York about the ordeal. NJ cop and Iraq War veteran Neal Auricchio showed where his orbital bone was broken—and also his still-bloodied eye—and described the altercation outside of Geno's Steaks, "They grabbed my friend's hat, threw a cigarette in it, threw one at me." more ›

Bail Now $400,000 For Man Accused Of Beating Up Rangers Fan

The NJ man accused of viciously beating two Rangers fans after the Rangers-Flyers game in Philadelphia is back in custody, after a judge raised his bail from $100,000 to $400,000. more ›

East Village Flyer Campaign Calls For Boycott Of Bar Veloce

East Village Flyer Campaign Calls For Boycott Of Bar Veloce

Well, here's an interesting little bit of neighborhood drama: Bar Veloce, whose East Village location was once famous for being the scene of a batsh*t crazy kerosene-fueled crime, is once again under attack, but this time from a slightly less dangerous assailant. Someone has been posting incriminating flyers along Second Ave urging patrons to boycott Veloce (which also has a location in Chelsea) because its owners allegedly refuse to pay staff overtime and dip into the staff tip jar on a regular basis. more ›

Suspect In Rangers Fan Beating Turns Himself In

A week after Philadelphia authorities released a video seeking suspects who beat a Rangers fan, a NJ man has turned himself in.

Video: Flyers Fans Beating Up Rangers Fans After Winter Classic

Philadelphia police have released a video of Flyers fans beating up Rangers fans after Monday's Winter Classic outside of Geno's Steaks! One of the victims was Neal Auricchico, an off-duty NJ cop and former Marine, whose father said, "He got banged up pretty badly. "Stitches in the one eye, and the other eye is pretty puffed up. He went for a CAT scan today, and we're waiting for the results on that." more ›

Palin Booed at Flyers-Rangers Game in Philly

Palin Booed at Flyers-Rangers Game in Philly

Last night, vice-presidential candidate--and perhaps the world's most famous hockey mom--Sarah Palin dropped the puck at the Philadelphia Flyers' Wachovia Center for the team's season opener against the NY Rangers. And she got resoundingly booed. See the video: more ›

Last Night's Action: Valiquette Validates Faith

Last Night's Action: Valiquette Validates Faith

  • Spurs 93, Nets 83: Maybe the Nets will stay at .500 in the post-Jason Kidd era. They're now 3-3. Tony Parker (25 points) was no match for Devin Harris, who joined Vince Carter with 21 points.

    Last Night's Action: No Rest for the Weary

    Last Night's Action: No Rest for the Weary

  • Flyers 4, Islanders 1: Someone should tell the Islanders they're supposed to have the advantage when they have a power play. Mike Knuble's short-handed goal -- which he didn't even realize he scored -- put this game out of reach. New York has allowed 13 such scores this season, most in the league. The Islanders face a quick turnaround as well; Florida visits Uniondale on Sunday at 4 p.m.

    Last Night's Action: Finally A Win!

    Last Night's Action: Finally A Win!

    Trent Hunter got things going with a goal at 17:42 of the first. The Flyers tied it up in the second, but the Islanders took the lead and built it on two beautiful goals. Jeff Tambellini took advantage of a bad Philadelphia turnover to put the Isles back in front. Sean Bergenheim got a semi-breakaway off of a feed from Trent Hunter to make it 3-1. Philadelphia cut it to 3-2, but Rusian Fedotenko put the game out of reach with his 10th goal of the year. more ›

    Last Night's Action: Five For Fighting

    Nigel Dawes got the Rangers on the board near the end of the third period as he converted a power play chance. Scott Gomez who assisted on the first goal followed with a goal of his own, setup by a great screen from Chris Drury at 3:53 of the second. Then the fights started, a linesman took a skate to the face but the Rangers and Valiquette kept their focus and got the win. more ›

    Last Night's Action: That Other Comeback

    Last Night's Action: That Other Comeback

    • Rangers 5, Canadiens 3: Fans who tired of FOX's marathon Super Bowl pregame show may have migrated to NBC to catch this inspired effort by the Rangers. Playing in Montreal -- did any of them get to watch the Super Bowl, or even want to watch? -- the Blueshirts scored five unanswered goals after trailing, 3-0, early in the second period. Chris Drury had the go-ahead goal, and Scott Gomez, Michal Rozsival, Martin Straka and Brandon Dubinsky also scored. Coach Tom Renney, who has not had the most job security of late, described this as a character win. The Rangers sit at seventh place in the Eastern Conference, with 60 points. They trail the Flyers -- whom they dominated -- by only three points in their Atlantic Division.

    Last Night's Action: Extension of Dominance

  • Kings 3, Islanders 1: Signs of a prolonged slump may include: losing a game to the team with the fewest points at home. Bryan Berard scored for the Islanders. They have lost six straight games at home, but they have gotten a point out of two of those losses. A much-needed road game comes Saturday at Montreal.

    Last Night's Action: Shaking Things Up

    Sean Avery, placed on the top line with Gomez and Jagr got things started with a goal at 12:12 of the first period. Brandon Dubinsky scored a few minutes later and the Rangers never looked back. Jaromir Jagr capped the scoring in the third period with some hard work and a nice assist from Martin Straka who handed Jagr a replacement stick after he broke his original one. more ›

    Last Night's Action: Not Happy With a Point

  • Clippers 120, Nets 107 (OT): That five-game winning streak seems like ages ago. Too bad the NBA doesn't give out half a win for reaching overtime. Offense wasn't the problem for the Nets. As Josh Boone -- he of 17 points, 16 rebounds and 3-of-4 free throw shooting -- said, the Clippers just played better defense in the bonus session.

    Last Night's Action: Routs on Ice

    Last Night's Action: Routs on Ice

    • Devils 4, Hurricanes 1: Martin Brodeur only needed to make 20 saves in this one. The Devils have now won seven of nine. Travis Zajac, Brian Gionta and Sergei Brylin all had goals, but it was Patrik Elias scoring the game-winner for the second straight time. They could have had six goals had they not hit the post twice. That fatigue-induced slow start is a distant memory for New Jersey, which leads the Atlantic Division.
    • Flyers 6, Rangers 2: When Ryan Hollweg scored two early goals, something had to tell the Rangers this wasn't a typical game. Then, poof! Bad news comes in threes, and it came in threes times two at the Garden. Henrik Lundqvist made it the whole game despite allowing one sixth of all the shots he faced in. Montreal visits New York on Saturday night.

    Last Night's Action: Can't Beat the Champs

    Last Night's Action: Can't Beat the Champs

    • Spurs 97, Knicks 93: The Spurs entered this game nearly perfect at home. What chance did the Knicks have? At least their draft lottery position keeps getting better. Eddy Curry appeared to be motivated. He had 25 points 12 rebounds. Too bad the Knicks let the Spurs shoot 50 percent from 3-point range. This game could have turned out differently.
    • Nets 102, Bobcats 96: Until Friday, the Nets hadn't won four straight games. That No. 4 came against the Bobcats is of little concern to the suddenly hot Nets. Vince Carter had 30 points and Richard Jefferson, who was reportedly sick, 28 points. Jason Kidd threw in a triple double for good measure, and the Big Three turned in a vintage performance. After his critical role in the win against the Magic on Wednesday, Darrell Armstrong added two big threes late.
    • Devils 3, Flyers 0: All hail the shutout king. Martin Brodeur stopped 36 shots for his 96th career regular-season shutout. He already holds the mark if playoffs are included, but Terry Sawchuk's mark of 103 is still within reach.

    Last Night's Action: Overly Gracious Hosts

    • Coyotes 5, Rangers 1: Wayne Gretzky returned to Madison Square Garden, the site of his final game as a player, to coach his Phoenix club to an easy win over the Rangers. His voice was hoarse because of a flu and laryngitis. Similar symptoms sidelined New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist, and Steve Valiquette wasn't up to the challenge of facing the worst offense in the Western Conference. Thanks to the wonders of the unbalanced schedule and the lockout, this was Phoenix's first trip to New York since 2002. At the rate the Rangers played against them, they might not want them back for another five years.
    • Devils 4, Flyers 2: What more can be said about Martin Brodeur? He excelled in net again, and the Devils used his stopping of a penalty shot as a morale-booster during their home win over the Flyers. John Madden had two goals and an assist. more ›

    Last Night's Action: Fourth Time a Charm

    Last Night's Action: Fourth Time a Charm

    Devils 6, Flyers 2: After three failed bids to get Martin Brodeur his 500th career win, the Devils finally provided him some margin of error. They played stingy defense and lit the lamp six times en route to an easy milestone win. Brodeur joins Patrick Roy as the only netminders with 500 wins. Dainius Zubrus got the party started and added an assist. As happy as the Devils are for Brodeur, they're probably happiest that... more ›

    Last Night's Action:  Stephon on D

    Last Night's Action: Stephon on D

    Sacramento 123 Knicks 118 (2OT’s); You weren’t dreaming, that really was Stephon Marbury playing defense. Marbury didn’t start, but he had a nice game off the bench as Isiah went to a three-guard lineup in the fourth quarter. With Crawford and Robinson sharing the point, Marbury took over at the two and did well. Eddy Curry had a huge game with 27 points including a game-tying rebound and layup with 10 seconds left in regulation,... more ›

    Last Night's Action: Back In Front

    Rangers 4 Philadelphia 3 (Shootout): The Rangers have overcome their slow start and moved into a tie for first place. Brendan Shanahan had a goal in regulation and the game-winner in the shootout to power New York. Henrik Lundqvist kept the Flyers off the board in the shootout, stopping all three shots he faced. Marc Staal played another solid game paired with Rozsival and Marek Malik has to be worried about regaining his starting spot.... more ›

    Last Night's Action: Missing Carter

    Last Night's Action: Missing Carter

    Hornets 84, Nets 82: As much as the Nets appreciate the start to the season Antoine Wright has had, they probably don't want him taking their final shot at the buzzer. But Wright did just that after starting for Vince Carter -- out with a sprained ankle -- and the result wasn't pretty. Carter's injury will have him out the always mysterious "indefinitely," and the Nets will have to find offense elsewhere. Richard Jefferson (32... more ›

    Last Night's Action: More Homecooking For The Rangers

    Rangers 4 Pittsburgh 2: That’s not a misprint, the Rangers really scored four goals tonight. Scott Gomez got things started for New York with a goal 7:35 into the game. But, Pittsburgh came right back and tied things on a Sergei Gonchar slap shot. But, Sean Avery did what he does best, get under opponents’ skin and he goaded Gary Roberts into a double minor. Roberts should know better and his mistake setup Michal Rozsival’s... more ›

    Last Night's Action: Guerin Gets Going

  • Red Bulls 1, Galaxy 1: With their playoff matchup -- against New England of course -- already assured -- the Red Bulls found themselves in the unlikely role of postseason-bound spoiler. They did just that, denying the Galaxy the full number of points by drawing the game in Carson, Calif.

    Last Night's Action: Back From the Precipice

  • Senators 3, Rangers 1: The Rangers are still working on that back-to-back thing. They gave up three goals in 52 seconds in an ugly reversal of their opening-night win. Other than that, the game went fine.

    Last Night's Action: A-Rod, Clutch

    Last Night's Action: A-Rod, Clutch

  • Braves 5, Mets 3: In a pitching match-up of two former teammates, it was the Braves that came out on top yesterday. John Smoltz won his first game of the season and the Mets and Tom Glavine both picked up their first losses. It seemed like everything that was going right for the Mets in their first four games suddenly vanished. Glavine struggled, the team left 13 on base, and there were costly errors. Carlos Delgado, who said he had issues seeing balls all day, dropped a ball thrown to him in the first, and Shawn Green missed a fly-ball in the sixth because of the high winds. Those two errors led to three unearned runs. The Mets had their chance in the 9th inning with only one out and the tying runs on base, but they couldn't come through.

    Last Night's Action: Rangers Make the Playoffs

  • Devil Rays 7, Yankees 6: This had about what you expect for a game played in football weather. It had errors, wild pitches, face masks and more. The Yankees played the uglier game, spoiling Andy Pettitte's return and splitting the season-opening series with the Devil Rays. They host Baltimore on Friday.
