Upsetting use of ‘upset’; here ‘we’ go again, Suzyn

LISTENING to WFAN’s Yankees broadcasts while driving can create road rage on an otherwise empty road.

Wednesday, the Fourth of July, a FAN update during the second inning of Braves-Yankees, delivered this news: “Caroline Wozniacki upset at Wimbledon!”

By whom? We weren’t told. But we could stick around for three more hours to learn she was beaten by Ekaterina Makarova, a player of interna- tional note and more than $13 million in winnings.

Moments later, returned to the game, well, sorta, John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman engaged in a chat about the patriotic vest she wears every Fourth of July.

“George,” she said, told her he likes it, presumably a reference to George Steinbrenner as opposed to George Washington.

Then she added that “George” told her he liked it, “in 1996, the year we won our first World Series.”

Checking the W’s from the Yanks’ ’96 Series roster, Waldman must’ve confused herself with John Wetteland, David Weathers or Bernie Williams.

Spoke last week with a Jets season-ticket holder of more than 40 years, until he could no longer suffer the beatings: thousands of dollars in PSL costs, annually rising ticket costs, must-buy exhibition games and being seated near those who purchased tickets for 10 bucks on resale sites. Line forms to the rear. If PSLs, as Roger Goodell claimed, “are good investments,” why did they immediately eliminate long waiting lists of those who wanted to purchase Jets and Giants season tickets at face and mostly escalating values? And why have Jets and Giants tickets gone from a tough get to a tough dump?

And let us not forget the bogus sales techniques the Jets used to sell PSLs, including the broadcasted claim — the lie — that you’d better hurry because they’re nearly sold out, and that purchasers would have first crack at tickets to all PSL Stadium events.

Then there was the Jets’ PSL contract, which in small print read that no matter what the team’s sales reps pitched or promised to entice you to buy, none of it counts, only the printed terms of the contract.

But at about $40 million a year, Goodell is good with all of it.
