    The Official 2025 New York Yankees Thread

    Question for the fans that go to games. My brother-in-law and 9 year old nephew are coming to NJ from LA this weekend. The 9 year old is a huge Yankee fan so BIL just got 4 tix for Saturday. Old Timers Day which just makes things more crowded, but maybe spreads out the traffic. I live in...

    Way OT: Happy Gilmore 2

    I went into Happy Gilmore 2 with very low expectations. Probably because of how mediocre to bad Coming 2 America and Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F were, coupled with how bad certain Sandler movies can be. That said, my family really enjoyed HG2. I won't go into all the reasons why, because it...

    Way OT: Happy Gilmore 2

    Happy Gilmore 2 was primarily filmed in New Jersey. Lot's of Sandler sightings in Bergen County during the filming.

    Memphis proposing lucrative offer to join Big 12, but it lacks support from conference leadership: Sources

    Some universities have made it their identities and believe it's their only way to thrive or even survive. We know that US higher education is in for a big change with changing demographics and at least currently due to political reasons (loss of international full pay students). SMU got its...

    NFL women's flag championships?

    The NFL is spending a lot of money on flag football and they will keep spending. I think it's a brilliant play by the NFL. Flag football does two things for the NFL: I don't know the numbers and don't care enough to research, but there was definitely concern from parents letting their boys...

    Windows to Mac

    This might be part of it. People say Macs are expensive, but I think you need to compare them to more expensive PCs. We've always had a home computer. My wife is usually the user because I use an ipad for most of my personal stuff and she handles more of our family stuff anyway. We've gone...

    Windows to Mac

    I switched to Mac about 10 years ago and went back to PC. It just felt too personal focused and not as business focused (apps, navigation). That may have been 30 years of bias. My company went to "bring your own device" and I'm an Apple user (phone and tablet), so I switched again (Macbook...

    Memphis to the Big East??? Really??,

    This is all that needs to be said on this topic. We know it's not a place we'd want to be forever, so it's all about flexibility and short term financial terms.

    Grizzlies Sign Cam Spencer To A Guaranteed Contract

    I'm not a Rutgers hater. I actually root for them a bit because I'm a Jersey guy. This is all based on hearsay, but.... I don't think your first sentence is true. I've read rumors that Georgetown was trying to lure Cam away from RU, and tampering would be on brand for Cooley. But...

    OT: What was your first job as a teenager?

    Cashier at Bradlees. Not fun. Then camp counselor for a bunch of years. Job was okay, but after hours were a blast. This actually triggers something I've been wondering about. Both my kids work. My son was a counselor and then cashier. Daughter has worked at a local shop during school...

    What are you binge watching?

    My wife and I are not into horror movies, but our daughter talked us into trying The Haunting of Bly Manor. We liked it and we're now halfway into The Fall of the House of Usher. They have the occasional jump scare, but they aren't shocking. Mike Flanagan uses most of the same actors in the...

    OT: Trumbull CT little league

    But everyone loved Big Al! Make sure you watch past the first couple kids.

    OT: Trumbull CT little league

    This is bush league, but you are wrong about the strike zone. "According to the current edition of Little League’s Rules, Regulations, and Policies, the STRIKE ZONE is that space over home plate which is between the batter’s armpits and the top of the knees when the batter assumes a natural...

    Welp, ACC stays together with a new agreement (LINK)

    That is the craziest clause I've ever seen. It's only a clip of a subsection, but that appears to give each full veto power for anything that comes up for vote. That's almost malpractice by the other schools that agreed to that. At least allow for some type of supermajority where Clemson/FSU...

    What are you binge watching?

    I’m in a similar place with food. I did my time at food as art places. I respect it, but don’t need to experience it anymore. Especially with kids in college. But I can still enjoy a great rustic meal. I do think the industry makes a good vessel for the kind of people that live in that world...
