Gay Games IV in the news?

From Rush & Molloy in the NY Daily News:

[New York Governor Gov. David A.] Paterson gave hope to disabled athletes Friday night at the Hamptons benefit Anne Hearst and Jay McInerney hosted for Bobby Shriver's Best Buddies. After paying tribute to Bobby's late, great mother, Eunice, the gov recalled how former governor Mario Cuomo once let him play on his basketball team in the 1994 Gay Games. "[Mario] threw a pass that even I could see," said the legally-blind Paterson. "I threw the ball, but someone hit me and I fell on the floor. Shockingly, the ball went in the basket." Paterson told all his friends to watch the evening news. Alas, his moment of Gay Games greatness was preempted by police chasing O.J. Simpson in his Ford Bronco. Said Paterson: "I just yelled at the TV all night, 'Kill him, kill him!'
