City Euphoric Over Insane Jets Win
We're guessing a good chunk of the city is pretty hungover today after the partying that went on after last night's win against the New England UGG Spokesmen. Rex Ryan-style hubris (now completely justified) spewed from the mouths of fans across the city; David Stone told the Daily News, "We took care of business—New York style! They can match up with any team. Go Green, we'll take on anybody!" And this time the professionals agreed.
JETS DE-FEET PATS!!!
We're still picking our jaws off the ground, but they did it: the Jets just defeated the Patriots 28-21 in New England. They played a ferocious defensive game, and Pats QB Tom Brady never looked entirely comfortable. Bill Simmons of ESPN tweeted, "Outcoached, outplayed, outeverything. Congrats to the Jets." Sports writer Michael Weinreb tweeted, "An overzealous goofball has absconded with Tom Brady's birthright. This is his Winklevoss moment." And Dan Shanoff of Quickish wrote, "if you're going to talk, you better back it up. But if you can back it up, you have earned the right to talk all you want." We're excited to watch the post-game interview with Rex Ryan, for what is sure to be one of the greatest post-game interviews of all time.
Gristede's Screwing Employees Out of Overtime
The Gristede’s supermarket chain could be forced to pay $25 million to more than 400 current and former managers who've successfully sued the company for refusing to pay overtime. Last week a federal judge sided with the employees, dismissing Gristede's argument that they were "salaried executives who, under federal and state law, are generally exempt from receiving time-and-a-half pay for overtime," the Times reports. In his decision, Judge Paul Crotty wrote that “Gristede’s clearly sought to treat workers as ‘hourly’ for some purposes, (i.e., docking them for hours not worked during the workweek), but ‘salaried’ for other purposes (i.e., not paying them overtime for hours worked in excess of the workweek).” Naturally, Gristede's plans to appeal, since billionaire owner John Catsimaditis (pictured) is going to need every cent to run for mayor.
