OT: Bergenfield HS Head Coach dead

Driving on the Parkway is like Russian roulette post pandemic. Rarely see State Troopers. On way back from EWR down to Exit 98 two Saturdays ago, several hipsters were weaving in and out of lanes going in excess of 90 mph, tailgating, swerving around cars to pass. And then there are the passing lane cloggers that add to this problem.

May the Coach RIP. Stay safe.
The lane cloggers are the real issue post COVID. Seems like people are just trying to get in the way on the roads. Everyone just looking at their phones while driving. I wish there was more cops to enforce the stay right laws. That and all the Uber/Lyft drivers that are not from around here...just looking at their phones as well.

OT: Any baseball card collectors?

Haven’t collected in years but was a collector as a kid in the early 70s. I would order plastic pages from mail order in California while my friends flipped them and wrapped them in rubber bands. Who knew those pages were loaded with acid but it didn’t matter since I sold all of them in the 90s for about $15k when we were moving to a new house. I had multiple complete mint sets from those years including those black bordered 71s with the often chipped edge Nolan Ryan Mets card. I even knew the order of the cards produced by Topps so I would sit in the back of the local krauzers sifting through cello packs with cards that I needed. All of it with my paper route money, which I had illegally when I was 9. (My older brother gave me half of his). At least this was one time where my anal retentiveness paid off…🤓
I started my paper route at age 9 too, didn't know it was illegal, maybe mom was skimming the profits

OT: NJ pays more than the average American in electric bills - THOUGHTS?

I have a ~6000 sq ft house with 3 kids, an EV, a pool and a hot tub that runs year round. This last month is probably the lowest that I'll have given we werent running HVAC (no heating, no ac). It was still $250. This summer, with the cost spike, I anticipate $1,000 monthly bills.
Shit is getting more expensive all around. It's bullshit.

OT: Transit strike

$10.00/hr less according to the NY Post. The two sides can't even agree on what they're currently making. NJT said their offer was to increase comp from $135k to $170k, BLET says they only really make $113k and the offer wasn't really $170. They have not had a raise since 2019, both sides do agree on that. I'm guessing NJT's numbers include cost of benefits etc.
No raise for 6 years considering the inflation rate for that period is something that I understand a union would want addressed

10 Best Coaches in College Football- RU Plays 3 this year

Creep State and their creep Coach who checks out his assistant Coaches wives to see if they are hot enough. Man that place is awful!

"I've been saying it for a long time, I will not hire an assistant coach until I've seen his wife. If she looks the part, and she's a D-I recruit, then you got a chance to get hired. That's part of the deal," Franklin said in an interview on Nashville's 104.5 FM The Zone
