Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 3227753, member: 1526"] Was the sportswriter from the Newark Star-Ledger Jerry Izenberg? Jerry is now 88 years old. He has forgotten more about sports than anyone will ever know. I had the rare privilege of sitting next to Jerry at the pre-game media luncheon for the Texas Bowl in 2006. He was there covering the game for the Star Ledger because Rutgers was playing Kansas State. We discovered we were both from Monmouth Co. and were born in the same hospital. Jerry was living in Rumson at that time, which is in Monmouth Co., and he was writing all his articles and columns from there. He said he only went into Newark once a month to the paper. He's in about every HOF imaginable for sportswriters, and he's frequently seen in TV documentaries. Jerry is a legend. [/QUOTE]
