My new favorite judicial nominee
From the ’70s up until a few years ago, my beloved Philadelphia Eagles (and my “never ceasing to torture me and rip my heart out” Phillies) used to play their home games in Veterans Stadium, a concrete monstrosity that had a permanent urine stink. It was a terrible place, yet I was sad to see it get demolished a few years ago - childhood fondness, and all that.
Anyway, at the Eagles games, folks tended to get pretty rowdy, particularly in the notorious 700 level (the highest level of seats, which were as nosebleed as nosebleed can get). I saw quite a few fights, arrests, and tossed beers during my times up there. And it got so bad that the Vet became the first sports complex in the country to have an on-sight court. Folks would get hauled down to the little room, where Judge Seamus P. McCaffey sat on Sundays, and they would be immediately booked, processed, charged and convicted.
Things have settled down at the Iggles’ new home (the Linc - Lincoln Financial Field), and McCaffey’s services haven’t been needed in quite some time now. Which is good for him, as he may find himself quite busy, as he just received the votes needed to become an official nominee to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. If the former Philly cop could handle the drunk and bitter Eagles fans he had to deal with, he can surely handle the sober and bitter appellate attorneys who appear before the PA Supremes. Good luck Judge McCaffey - QuizLaw is rooting for you!
