New Yorkers rip manager over glasses

MANHATTAN -- A bevy of New Yorkers prowling the city streets today ripped on manager Maty McNeil's eccentric new spectacles.

"They're stupid,"  Anthony Rizzo, a jeweler from Brooklyn, said.  "This is New York, the land of style and pizzaz.  Why would you wear glasses that haven't been seen in this city in 200 years?"

"I wouldn't be caught dead wearing those," Sarah Russell, a bond-trader who works on the 109th floor of World Trade Center 1 said.  "And I don't plan on being dead any time soon."

But there were a few who liked  the look.

Jacqueline Horowitz, a yoga instructor from the East Village said, "I like where he's going with this, I think they look professorial and sexy and I dig the vibe."

Time will tell how the specs turn out for Maty.  One thing's for sure, they may be embarrassing to wear at a post-game presser after a loss.
