They probably will use more than one Bobcat, but those are limited in reach.

Would result in a lot less injuries if the two team owners simply agreed to toss a coin to determine the winner!!! But then again, there must be another motive for continuing the madness?

Kinda tough to use one in the stands. IIRC thats where the majority of the help is required.

Caller on an “urban” talk show complaining about how nobody was shoveling/plowing the way from the post office to her house so she could get her food stamps delivered.

Granted, this was a while ago, but I can’t imagine things have improved.

I haven’t seen ‘food stamps’ in decade or more. Everything is EBT now...............

I was curious what happened to this “climate change” fraudster.

Was he fired and ridiculed for his insanely wrong predictions?

Nope.

The scammers just keep on scamming.....

Why do they scam? Because as Willie Sutton explained when asked why he robs banks—”because that is where the money is”.

Football in the snow is cool. As are final scores of 3-0 or 7-3.

With snow this deep, though, it could be 2-0, the lowest possible score in a football game with any score at all. Never seen one of those!

Looks like leaf blowers and weed burners needed.

They probably will bring in bobcats for field. Help is needed to shovel seats.
I think $20/hr has been the pay for some time. They get it done...also get bragging rights about clearing the stadium.
Oh, yes, they will truck the snow to the Lake Erie harbor.

Left there in 2010..

I think this was back in the late 70s. That call stuck in my mind.

That and the guy a few lockers down showing off his wallet full of food stamps because he was collecting from 5 baby mamas and over a dozen kids.

Again, this was back then, and I doubt things have improved since then

There is snow in a lot of places off the floor/field. All of the open spaces will also have a foot of snow.

I would bring a back pack leaf blower for the seats.

Yes- i remember that game!!

I was actually in Shea Stadium watching the Jets beat up on the Tampa Bay Bucs in 8 inches of snow and everybody was waiting for a score of that game because it was important- this was 1982 and no cell phones/ESPN/etc.

All of a sudden the score pops up on the big screen at Shea:

Dolphins: 0
Patriots: 3

The few of us remaining in Shea went wild. It was only when i got back to my apartment, i was a student at St John’s, did i find out the guy who plowed the area for the FG kicker was a parolee on work release!!!

It’s called SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), now and it’s administered thru a Credit card-like EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) Card.

They got rid of the paper food stamps because they were being sold on the street for drug/cig/beer money at less than 50 cents on the dollar.

But the EBT card didn’t end that practice, they just found a new way to do it.

I was approached in WalMart by a black woman who wanted to pay for my groceries with her EBT Card and I was to give her my cash. Of course I said no and she went to look for another sucker................

Recently I was behind an EBT customer at the supermarket checkout. Swiped her card and was on her way, no questions asked. When it was my turn, cashier ran my $50 bill under the ultraviolet to see if it was real.

IOW, they had more faith in the EBT card than US cash.
