- Brian Daboll seems too normal to be an NFL head coach. Probably a good sign for Giants.
- Since we are doing this again: New Jersey has five regions, not three.
- Rutgers just became a real college football program.
- Rutgers fans just got some very good news: RB Isaih Pacheco passionately told NJ Advance Media he has no plans to enter the transfer portal. LB Tyshon Fogg said the same.
- I think today will be remembered as the day the #Giants stopped getting the benefit of the doubt from their loyal and patient fan base.
- BREAKING with @StevePoliti and @KSargeantNJ: We're not there yet, but there is a growing belief Rutgers and Greg Schiano can save the deal.
- The full Urban Meyer report is astonishing. It's literally 23 pages detailing why he should be fired ... and he wasn't.
- Rutgers is going to the Gator Bowl.
- Today was my last day at NJ Advance Media. I was fortunate enough to spend just shy of a decade writing for my home state's newspaper, and the Rutgers years were the best ones. But it's time for a new challenge. Talk soon.
- Josh Brown got one game because the NFL screwed up. Ezekiel Elliott likely got six in part because the NFL learned from that screw-up.
- Sean Payton is going to go 4-13 this season, be stuck with two more years of Russell Wilson and then will have to watch Jim Harbaugh strut into the Chargers job after leading Michigan to a national title.
