Britons Apparently Still Angry About That Whole "New" Jersey Thing

This is one of those weird intersections where Jersey Mayhem meets Knifecrime Island: Brendan Byrne, the former governor of New Jersey, was punched in the face by an unprovoked attacker as he and his wife exited London’s Waterloo Station. The 85-year-old Byrne tells the Star-Ledger that, “I think I’m alright. I have some cuts on my face. I never fell down, like when I fought Muhammad Ali.” (The governor and Ali “sparred” in an 1979 charity match.) “I’m surviving.”

Good for him, and best wishes on a speedy recovery. I think we can all be grateful that this was just a simple assault, rather than a more serious glassing. Because you don’t want to give folks in Jersey any ideas.
