    OT: Cancer related to alcohol

    If you can’t look at what is actually presented and see how food ingredients used in the US are actually banned in other countries, without your opinion of the presenter outweighing the actual information presented, then I am still right. You are unable to remove politics from anything you...

    OT: Cancer related to alcohol

    It would have been shorter for you to just say you are incapable of leaving the politics out if it. Nothing about him personally has an impact of the reality of what he has pointed out regarding processed food in the US.

    OT: Cancer related to alcohol

    Take the politics out of it and his demonstration of how processed foods in the US have an ingredients list 2-3 times longer than the same product sold in other countries should wake people up. That and the unsettling origin/effects of some of the preservatives/colorings in US foods that are...

    OT: FIFA flaunting facilities at Rutgers as 2026 World Cup base camp option

    I was st the Colombia game as well. It makes sense that it wasn’t a preWC game because both teams were in the same WC group.

    OT: FIFA flaunting facilities at Rutgers as 2026 World Cup base camp option

    Didn’t RU stadium host a friendly leading into the 1994 cup? I seem to remember Colombia being involved.

    OT: Zakai Zeigler suing NCAA to be able to play for more than 4 years

    This lawsuit wouldn’t open up unlimited eligibility. It has an interesting angle, as it is based totally on an economic argument. Basically, players who redshirt get 5 years to make NIL money, so it is a restraint of trade to restrict players who don’t redshirt from making NIL money by being...

    Interesting Note from NJ Democratic Gov Debate - Fulop Anti Rutgers Football

    Focusing on state spending on Rutgers given the overall bloat in NJ is like when there are budget battles and they make a big deal about closing state parks and beaches. They overemphasize things that actually don’t cost the state much but have high visibility with the public, just to score...

    OT: Ship crashes into Brooklyn Bridge

    From what I am reading online people involved in shipping are ripping the decision to use only one tug, not tied to the ship, with the wind and current conditions both pushing it towards the bridge.

    Ready to pay ESPN $30/month for their streaming service?

    The problem is that you only get ESPN’s sports. There was an attempt to pull all of the various sports channels into one sports only streaming service (that was going to cost around $50) last year, but it fell apart.

    Ready to pay ESPN $30/month for their streaming service?

    This a significant step, because previously ESPN has avoided doing this and risking cutting off the still significant amount of money they get from non-sports fans on cable, satellite, and bundles like YTTV. They are in big trouble, because ESPN+ subscriber numbers have been disappointing and...

    Hypothetical—If Rutgers Had Joined the ACC

    You think just like the ACC leaders did. Yes, for the situation at that moment in time Rutgers biggest value couldn’t be monetized by the ACC. Not seeing past that is what was incredibly short sighted. You were already having difficulty in part of your footprint because in places where you...

    Hypothetical—If Rutgers Had Joined the ACC

    Nothing you said is incorrect, but I still don’t think those reasons absolve the ACC for being blamed for horrible mismanagement. I have always equated it to the South not taking the high ground on their right flank at Gettysburg on the first day when it was undefended. Sure, that ground wasn’t...

    Hypothetical—If Rutgers Had Joined the ACC

    Because the geniuses who ran the ACC were so wrapped up in basketball that they built a conference that had no schools in the #1 and #5 US TV markets that happened to be on the Atlantic Coast?

    Hypothetical—If Rutgers Had Joined the ACC

    Your message sounds realistic because all indications have been that (except when the PAC12 was run like a clusterf**k and their commissioner Scott was doing things without being certain on schools buying in) the major conferences don’t actually issue an invite until enough discussions have gone...

    Hypothetical—If Rutgers Had Joined the ACC

    The only people who can argue that it would be better if RU had joined the ACC must be so Rutgers-centric that they pay zero attention to what is going on in the greater college football world. The SEC and B1G rule college football, and the situation is only getting more extreme (for example...
