THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

I would not have posted on this but when I read the Pinstripes are "heavy 2-1 favorites" I cringed. You'd think these days reps wouldn't count for much being constantly trashed, but that 2-1 is mostly Ruth and Gehrig and DiMaggio, and they may not be on the team. Meantime the Big Apple's hacks refer to "Silly-Delphia" and "the Frillies", the sort of mockery that looks awfully embarrassing after a rout. And neither city should point fingers -- we have our ghettoes, NOO YAWK has Goldman Sachs.

I suspect the professional sports buffs are picking "our" guys, and I wouldn't care less either way but for the prospect of more sleepless nights, and more Blutory. I further suspect this will do better in the ratings; last year was such an anomaly. But onward and downward thereafter for a sport that -- richly deserves it.

Interesting too that Joysey's rooting mostly for the Yanks, but then Joysey's mostly an Apple suburb.

No wisecracks about the smell. Got it?

Nope.
