“Rutgers Big Ten Title Hopes end”
Meanwhile everyone at Nj .com headquarters:
“PHEW!!!!”
literally worst thing in the world to them is the threat of any Rutgers success whatsoever. Doesn’t matter, once you stop clicking that stupid site you’ll be happier. In fact, if people stopped posting their stupid headlines and articles on this site, we’d all be happier !!!

Yeah shame on them for reporting the news
We are now 2.5 games out of first with four games to play and four teams to catch. Headline seems pretty accurate to me.
Our title hopes aren't technically over though so what are they talking about? It's unlikely of course but if we win out it's still possible.
You are literally wrong. They would like nothing better than RU athletic success. It's good for business.
Yes, they will be sensationalistic, because that is what sells. They will be our biggest cheerleaders if our athletic performance warrants it. If not, they will be our biggest detractors.
We can still win the B10 tourney which would come with a title.
That is true, but it is pretty clear from the context what they meant.
I refuse to look at nj.com until they post a Devil's score.
The only true New Jersey team and they refuse to cover them, But they can tell you where to get a Sixers James Harden jersey!!!!!!!

lol. Rutgers success would be the best thing in the world for them (as well as NJ Devils success). It’s silly thinking otherwise.
Some of you are way too sensitive. Not sure what's worse this or complaining about what Richard Neer says at 7am on a Saturday morning on WFAN
You are kidding right? NJ.com loves having Rutgers teams doing well, as that gets far more attention and clicks than when we suck. To think otherwise is just crazy.
I hear you….just trying to point out that if they thought it through they could have come up with something a bit more…..accurate. But it is the SL.
No I was right the first time...journalists are HORRIBLE people
If you have actually dealt with reporters , they are worst than horrible-- the trait , integrity , usually doesn't exist with them
I know a couple journalists and they are far from horrible people. BTW, isn’t that post-game manifesto you write a form of journalism? I mean without the writing skills and talent required to be a journalist.
Wow, didn’t know that about the Devils. They also do not cover the Mets. If there happens to be a Mets article it is under the section “Yankees”.
If a headline is written in the forest does anyone read it?
The writer of an article (be in print or internet) generally does not write the headline. Headlines tend to be much more sensationalistic and attention-grabbing, and often are more "out there" than the article would seem to support.
This is by no means a new phenomenon and is not unique to any one news source.
Please take your "enemy of the people" nonsense to the CE board.
It's f***in ridiculous. It's NJ.COM for God's sake!! It's the NJ DEVILS!!!
Go to nj.com right now. Hit the tab for sports and then the tab for Devils. The last Devils game they reported on was when they beat Buffalo 2-1. The date of that game? October 23!!!!!!!!!
They have not had a single game article on the team in nearly four months!!!
It’s how they report it not what they are reporting.
Always taking extra cheap shots at RU and gloating at our losses while hoping for failure.
The man who wrote the greatest headline in newspaper history.

EVERY one of your posts says something about politics - it is in your tagline!
Sure it’s accurate in the context of there was a 1% implied probability of Rutgers winning the big ten, so why not write a headline about how they didn’t do it.
I knew about the Mets not covered on nj . com but THE DEVILS?!??!?!???? Mike Francesca has more coverage in NJ media than their own pro team???
I would've preferred "historic streak" ends over "historic run". End of a run implies the season is OVER (nothing left to play for) and that's clearly not the case.
If you can actually find one! I Long for days of real journalism, long on facts short on descriptive sensational adjectives
Example “dow down 100”=real reporting
“Dow plummets”= today’s 23 year old “Financial” expert who graduated with a communication degree and a true understanding of pronouns used to describe his, her, they sexual preferences, from some elitist institution, living in a bubble judging hard working Americans trying to put food on the table.
And doesn't that say something about their Rutgers coverage? I mean, if they do that to the Devils.. what wouldn't they do to Rutgers?
We all know moments in the past where S-L / NJ.com piled on. That is why they have this reputation among Rutgers fans. It is not because a few fans are over-sensitive... as the defenders of the establishment are so quick to call out. It is because the S-L NJ.com has EARNED their reputation.
If reporters were so wonderful why do so many people take the smart mode and refuse to be interviewed by them or if they do agree ,they need a lawyer at their side-- and I'm not talking about "political" issues. Many of us involved in their professional careers had the experience of protecting oneself from reporters distorting the truth,even in simple situations.
I can recall two I like better, both sports related.The man who wrote the greatest headline in newspaper history.

1) Len Barker pitches a perfect game against Toronto. Headline: "Barker Smokes 27 Straight Jays"
2) Randall Simon was disciplined by MLB for playfully (we think) lightly hitting with a bat one of the participants in Brewers sausage race. Headline: "Simon Suspended for Pounding Sausage"
NJ.com should be covering the Devils but nobody else is either. Every other outlet dumped the team. The Athletic doesn't have a guy there anymore, I'm pretty sure the Bergen Record stopped covering them too. Nobody cares about them. Nobody shows up to their games. Nobody reads about them. They're a bad team in a sport that like 3% of the American population cares about.
People still read nj.com??
Surprised by that with all their propaganda they been pushing for 2 years
