Paper bag guy yelled at by CEO of Nets


It's not bad enough to have to watch a New Jersey Nets game, but now the fans are getting yelled at by the CEO.

Really?

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New Jersey Nets' sad-sack season appeared to hit another low Monday night when CEO Brett Yormark shouted at a fan wearing a paper bag over his head. Yormark left his courtside seat at the IZOD Center late in the second half of New Jersey's 99-89 loss to the Miami Heat. Yormark then doubled back toward the fan, identified by the New York Daily News as Chris Lisi of Middletown, N.J.

The Nets are currently the worst team in the NBA. They have a 7-63 and are also shooting for the worst record in NBA history.

With just 12 games remaining in the season, New Jersey has to win at least two to avoid setting a new low win record. The record was set by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers at a 9-73 season.

Man kills pet parrot over a NASCAR race

Well I thought that SEC football fans were crazy but apparently NASCAR fans take the cake. Either that or they're a bunch of bird-haters.

A New Jersey man accused of shooting and killing his African gray parrot with a BB gun because its screeching annoyed him while he was watching a NASCAR race on TV has been indicted on an animal cruelty charge.

Dennis Zeglin, 67, of Randolph was indicted Tuesday by a Morris County grand jury. The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $15,000 fine.

Zeglin allegedly shot the parrot, named "Mikey," three times on June 7. His wife called police when she saw that the bird had been killed.
Hey Mikey! I think he likes it! So shut the heck up!

Why it sucks to live in New Jersey

Good god, how do you people wake up in the morning in that garbage dump of a state? Now, I must say that the absolute worst state in the union is Montana because they don't have electricity, but New Jersey isn't very far behind. Why? Well...

1. You're New York's drunk brother. You know the same brother that doesn't go to college, works at Walmart greeting people and checking bags, smokes a bowl everyday and likes the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yep, that's you.

2. The New Jersey Nets - the Detroit Lions have won more games than you and THEY'RE A FOOTBALL TEAM. Do us all a favor and start playing in the European league.

3. Chuck from New Jersey keeps calling into talk radio shows from his mom's basement. And he's not the only one. In fact, I'm pretty sure 80 percent of people in NJ call talk radio shows from their mom's basement.

4. Is there any sort of famous landmark or natural feature in New Jersey? And the garbage dump heaps do not count.

5. Driving from Maryland to Boston, you pass through a zone that looks like a cross from Blade Runner and Mordor from Lord of the Rings. There are large smoke stacks with flames coming out of them, large pipes everywhere, everything smells like garbage and then you cross a bridge and you're in New York (which is as equally as bad.)

You know what this place is? New Jersey.
