I’m gonna guess that was more a nod to Joe Benigno’s WFAN refrain whenever he expressed dismay over the Jets (or any of his teams) losing. Benigno likely parroted Dr. Smith, but generations later in the context of New York sports, it became his thing.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

You got me there.

I nonetheless stand by the observation of The Post's back page editor not exactly aiming at the most youthful demographic.
