There is simply no comparison when it comes to the Emmy Awards and the Academy Awards as far as watching in on TV. Last night Emmy Awards was a fast-moving show where speeches were not only short and light but void of political statements and actors self-importance. Jimmy Fallon was tremendous as the host as he kept things moving at a nice quick pace…the show ended on time unlike the Oscars which go on forever.
I was happy for the success of “Modern Family” which is an incredibly funny show with a great cast.
A big weekend for Toms River’s Frank Edgar as he defended his Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight title with a unanimous decision victory over former champ BJ Penn in Boston Saturday night. The former Toms River East wrestler and current Rutgers assistant coach beat Penn for the title in a stunning upset in April and backed it up with a convincing victory in his first title defense.
What a start to Dana Costello’s soccer career at Monmouth University. The freshman from Jackson Memorial scored both goals as the Hawks beat NJIT 2-1 in their season opener Friday and then yesterday Costello scored the game’s only goal as Monmouth stunned 17th ranked Rutgers 1-0 in Piscataway. It’s just the second time in 17 meetings that the Hawks have beaten the Scarlet Knights.
Enjoyed a terrific dinner with friends Saturday night at Spicy Restaurant on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights and it even came with a bonus, if you want to call it that. Turns out the cast from the MTV Show “Jersey Shore” has discovered the roof-top restaurant this summer and regularly dines there, where you must try their table side guacamole (it’s delicious). It was almost comical watching people take pictures with their cell phones of “The Situation”, “Pauly D” and the other cast members who were simply eating and talking. “Snooki” was not around…, maybe she was with Governor Chris Christie, who reportedly was having dinner at Hemmingway’s in Seaside Heights at the same time. I know he wasn’t dinning with Bret Shundler.
