JayFarrar watch — Let's keep me alive

Props to Jay for having some guts about doing this. This kind of thing is the very reason why I hated the few short months I worked news, and why I never will again. Don't have the figs to match Jay's fortitude. Mad props.

 

Jay, know anyone at the IRS? Might be easier to report on a successful investigation by them, even if it takes some time, than on something where paperwork, in theory, be created, backdated, etc. Remember, that's how they got Capone.

 

And Marriott points are income, but I doubt any sportswriter is declaring that.

 

I'd be careful about blatant generalizing.

It might also help if you could pick the brains of some of the reporters who caught Bernard Kerik in all sorts of illegal shenanigans and ethical violations. I bet they'd have a few pointers.

 

Thank you hondo.

Don't you have crosses to burn somewhere?

 

Where the apartments are concerned, is it that much different than someone who works as the complex's handyman or super in exchange for a break on the rent? How often do those guys report it as income?

And just to play devil's advocate for a minute, but is your brother a cop in this particular town? Is that complex where cops get free keys in this town? You'd better have some rock-solid proof on the mistress allegations -- up to and including photos or multiple, multiple sources -- before you run that. That's how libel suits are won.
Good luck with this, Jay, but be careful in more ways than one.

 

Well-played.

 

I would guarantee that virtually 100 percent of sports writers who travel could get pinched if such a story was written.

 

It's called the Bernie Kerik discount. I think Rudy Guliani's firm consults with local police departments about putting this program in place.

 

Firemen pull waaaayyyy more chicks than cops.

 

This sounds like a hell of a story but I think it's utter fucking bullshit that a cop has to pay taxes for the mileage he/she accrues driving a patrol car to and from work. If you're a cop, or a fireman, you're never off duty.

Fuck the IRS.

 

Bullshit. If you are going 50, 60 miles one-way as part of your commute, you aren't always on duty.
