    OT: We may win the World Cup in 2026

    Agree with NUTS (as usual). It was not a good call to take a team's top scorer out for what everybody knows was completely incidental and not intentional. (We can all have different opinions on that, but to me it was rather clear)...

    Greg has one of the lowest win percentages of any active coach

    Yeah, I can tell you that there's zero percent chance Locksley isn't fired unless he comes up with at least 6 wins. Given the state of the fan base, I expected his ouster after last season (4-8). I'd say more fans wanted him fired then retained last December, and there is an ambitious new...

    Football NCAA approves landmark age-based eligibility model

    In all seriousness, I think it's a good edict and I believe the NCAA is sincere about this. But I think the various entities in the bigger equation, who have been radically changing college sports in the past decade or so, will simply use it as a springboard for accomplishing their own...

    Football NCAA approves landmark age-based eligibility model

    I hope you're right. To my cynical mind, the only key part is "4-->5" and the rest is fluff to disguise the master plan, ha ha...

    Football NCAA approves landmark age-based eligibility model

    I've always said (cynically) that they may as well go directly to unlimited eligibility for all, because that's where the money is and I think that's where we're headed. Semi-pro NCAA. Not that I'm a fan of it...

    OT: Annual list of beach tag prices in NJ Deal tops the list at $200

    Great post. In my opinion, the best leaders are the ones that extremists on both sides dislike. It's likely that such people think for themselves and evaluate each issue independently. Their beliefs on the full scorecard don't line up closely enough with either tribe, and thus they go...

    NJ High School Lacrosse Getting Good

    I'm sure you are right, especially given that you are part of it all. I should have looked at all rounds of all brackets before making a comment...

    OT: Annual list of beach tag prices in NJ Deal tops the list at $200

    Thank you. That fits what I've seen. I think Suffolk is the northernmost of those four, and I didn't walk that far. maybe TK2 is right...

    NJ High School Lacrosse Getting Good

    I have to say that current lacrosse in New Jersey is far more broad-based than it was in Maryland when I was growing up. Lacrosse was big in Maryland back then, of course, but for the most part only the private schools played it as a varsity sport (maybe you remember this differently; I didn't...

    OT: Annual list of beach tag prices in NJ Deal tops the list at $200

    Speaking of this, what's going on in Ventnor? I usually walk pretty far down across the border into Ventnor (but not all the way to Margate, admittedly), and I haven't seen a lifeguard there yet this year. The beach was well-populated this past weekend...
