Maybe he's exaggerating but it didn't sound like he was joking.

Quote:
Co-host Gregg Giannotti, who commutes 64 miles each way from Suffolk County to WFAN’s lower Manhattan studios, asked Hernandez whether he ever falls asleep on the drive, and whether he could offer any tips.

Hernandez said he rarely encounters traffic after night Mets games, then added, “To be quite honest with you, the Suffolk County police, who patrol Long Island, the L.I.E., they know my car and I’ve been known to go 80 [miles per hour] all the way home, which means I get home in around an hour and 10 minutes.”

Said Giannotti, “An hour and 10 from Queens to Sag Harbor?”

At that point co-host Boomer Esiason jumped in, saying, “I don’t think we need to be talking about that right now.”

You don't need to be Keith Hernendez to get away with doing 80 on the LIE.

You need to do 75 most of the time just to keep pace with the rest of the traffic...

That’s news to me. Drivers speed from exit 52 and on going east. Other than that, people are out sight seeing.
