Cook Calls For Man’s Execution During Football Broadcast
When a Philadelphia sports team has a nationally televised game, the broadcast always includes at least one camera shot of Pat’s and Geno’s. (This is either an FCC rule or sports producers are too lazy to come up with new ideas. Hmm, I think it might be the latter.) CBS obliged during Sunday’s Eagles-Steelers tilt, and what did we see at Geno’s? That’s right: The famed official Daniel Faulkner shirt calling for Mumia Abu-Jamal’s execution. (For more fun, check out the whole selection of tacky gear available on the Daniel Faulkner Online Store. They even co-opted the “Never forget” slogan.) I’m fairly certain this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this shirt on a football broadcast, at Geno’s. That shirt might even be the uniform. You do have to hand it to the cops (and, um, cheesesteak cooks). There aren’t too many people who are semi-regularly told they should die on national TV. I’m not sure if that bodes well for the Domelights/Geno’s/Michael Smerconish crowd, though: Nobody was all that successful in killing the other guy I can think of who got that kind of treatment (Osama Bin Laden). |

Oh, and drug users and dealers in the late 80s/early 90s. Again, we see how successful that was…
Joey Vento, is a huge supporter of Maureen Faulkner and even sits on the board of directors for the Daniel Faulkner Foundation. You can even buy that shirt while at Geno’s while you order your steak.
Mumia does in fact deserve the death penalty for murdering Danny Faulkner; and I’m glad that it got the message out there on a national broadcast, albeit briefly.
If you didn’t like that, you must’ve loved the ten-second shot at the Phillies game a week ago Sunday of a fan in a t-shirt emblazoned with the slogan “Romo is a homo.”
Holy Moses do I love the Daniel Faulkner online store!
8 irresistible items, 8 days of Hanukkah, my cup runneth over!
The thought of having the stirring likeness of officer Faulkner in all his mustached heroism on the front bumper of my Tercel has my goyum in fuschutz!
The bravery of the Geno’s cook to wear that t-shirt makes me want to betray my kosher obligations and make a chazzer out of myself with a cheesesteak!
LOLERCOPS!
I’m looking forward to more stories tagged “Lazy Sports Producers.”
