In Saturday's paper, there was the expected Black Friday article. What wasn't expected was the increase of shoppers this year even though we are still in a pretty crippled economy. The funny thing about reading the article was it seemed like most people were shopping for themselves instead of shopping for Christmas. I am guilty of this as well. Many people will get the deals wherever they can get them and ultimately find things for themselves. I think that people are insane for going to stores at 4 am or earlier or even 5 am. I don't think that any kind of deal would get me up that early unless they were giving things away.The craziest thing was reading about the number of people that waited in line. 7,000 people were in line for the Macy's in Manhattan. That's insane.
In the Sports Section, there was an article about how the Jets are already talking about the Patriots game next week. This is the most important game all season for both of these teams. Whoever wins this game, will most likely win the division. The other will most likely take the wild-card spot. The big difference will be home field advantage in the playoffs. Both teams have already expressed their hatred for the other, including Tom Brady fully coming out and saying he hates the Jets. In the Jets' postgame conference the other day, most of the questions asked were about the Patriots game and not of the game they had just won. This game is winner takes all.
