JMM28 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yes. But last I heard charter flights don't pick you up at the arena... Well then we need a charter helicopter for road trips as well. Enough of this nickel and dime stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicCityBilliken Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Not to sound negative, but they didn't fly charter to NYC? They had to get over to Teterboro Airport which not far from the George Washigton Bdg going into NJ on I80. Kind of hard to get to from downtown Brooklyn. I maybe mistaken but I kind of recall Best Buy always being on the advertising displayed under the scorers table at the Chaifetz. I guess with the way Best Buy been performing as of late they had to pull out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicCityBilliken Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Biondi sucks! Bondi wasn't being nice. Bondi did the math of a extra night in a midtown Manhattan hotel plus meal money for victory dinner at a swanky Manhattan restaurant as opposed to a charter and decided the charter was cheaper.

I must have misread, because it said they were going to be late for their flight. Now I know Charters file flight plans, but it just sounded as though they were missing a scheduled commercial flight.

I'm not sure if this had anything to do with the team picking their store to watch the selection show. I would assume it is just a coincidence.

JMM28 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Somewhere in one of those articles it said they were flying charter out of Teterboro. The original plan was to watch the selection show at the terminal, but they got caught in traffic through Manhattan. Thus they stopped at a New Jersey Best Buy. Which begs the question, why don't these guys have sling boxes? Dammit Biondi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably ended up watching on better quality TVs than available at an airport, and couches to boot, lol.Best Buy's PR department should milk this for all it's worth in advertising. Talk about good, free publicity for a struggling chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Pine Jim Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The Athletic Dept. should Fedex that store some Billiken gear asap. Good pub for them and our guys too. Our presence lives on in the Big Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills By 40 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Best Buy is doing fine... their stock prices have been going up and they have no real competitors in the industry. Take it from an employee. And yes, best buy has ads on the press row table and on the ads above the doors to each section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The store is right after you exit the Holland Tunnel on the way to the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +1 I love how everyone erupts at hearing and seeing their name, without paying any attention to the details. Femi, to the left, is the first one to actually look at it like, who are we playing and where are we? The other guys take a good half minute to start thinking about that. Just the thrill of being announced gets them cheering. Pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
