    Could New Jersey use a “ Jock Tax” to help Rutgers Facilities/NIL ?

    This is kind of how youth soccer works in Europe. Americans always complain about pay to play in youth travel soccer and they say Europe doesn’t have that. Well it’s because Europe has a small “tax” charged to all Citizens in the various towns to support youth soccer. Sure the parents still have...

    OT: 2025 NFL Draft Thread

    What happened to pierce. This is a bit shocking. What am I missing?

    OT: Sanders....lol

    I watched a bunch of Colorado games. He looked pretty good to me. He was under duress all the time with no line and kept his eyes downfield and would try and make plays. He never got in trouble. Looks like he works hard. Yeah he has an arrogant attitude but whatever. Confidence is important...

    OT: Job market

    Maybe I was a little harsh about Dallas but it is this weird place because it is so “new”. It wants to be cool NY but wants to look fashionable LA. So you see the guys riding down take your pick of fake urban centers. Legacy west for example in his Ferrari and then another Ferrari which is...

    OT: Job market

    Not sure if any of you have been to the Dallas area in the past few years but it’s basically a giant job generating machine. Drive from the airport towards Plano Texas. It’ll shock you. Dallas is just one giant job stealing Mecca of northern jobs and tons of foreign entities have huge...

    OT: Helicopter in Hudson

    I just watched this great short video on YouTube of what mast bumping is. From what that video showed it probably was mast bumping. Also that freaks me out and makes it seem like a really bad design flaw in these types of helicopters. Like it’s super easy to create mast bumping if you’re the...

    OT: Reducing sports?

    I just learned last year that the SEC doesn’t have soccer offered. That blew my mind. Reason being that would be too expensive to maintain a non-revenue generating soccer program because you’d have to create more opportunities for women sports, which are also non-revenue generating and just...

    OT: We may win the World Cup in 2026

    Why does no one take anyone on 1v1? Scared? Not good enough? Told not to? The goal against Canada was because Weah took on two guys and passed to Luna and the goal happened. Basketball players have swagger and take on guys all game long. Give me some players with flair and take risks. Drive at...

    OT: Penn State maybe not so BIG in the future.

    This. Like I said earlier I moved to Pittsburgh 8 years ago from NJ. I knew nothing of the place except the 3 sports teams and Steel. It is such an underrated place. I tell people that Pittsburgh has the worst marketing of any place in America. It’s this hidden gem and it doesn’t align with...

    OT: Things in sports that need to disappear

    Agree until a team parks the bus or the plane in the defensive end to grind out the game. That is not beautiful. Lots of teams do that. I like the total football style or the modern tiki taka take on it. I also like goals though.

    OT: Penn State maybe not so BIG in the future.

    Not to defend the Pitt guy but I’m a jersey guy that went to Rutgers and has lived it Pittsburgh for 8 years so I have some perspective. Pitt is a very well off school. Its endowment is gigantic when compared to Rutgers with big donors and there is construction all over the place all the time...

    OT: Things in sports that need to disappear

    I like this offsides rule. I think of ways to make soccer more exciting and create more goals. That’s a good idea. I also thought of designated players that cant cross midfield which creates hockey style power plays on offense constantly. Futsal doesn’t have offsides which is like indoor...

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball loses at the buzzer to No. 15 Michigan 84-82

    I think he was hedging. That dude was way outside the three point line. He hit a great shot.

    Dagger. But we shouldn’t have blown that 12 point lead.

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball loses at the buzzer to No. 15 Michigan 84-82

    This is the type of officiating that makes basketball one of the worst sports to watch as a fan. Say what you will about Soccer officiating in players diving and umpire missing calls. Nothing is worse than basketball officiating.
