OT: Newark airport

Newark to Fair Lawn -- if I'm not really early or late, I take the train. Past 8 pm then uber/lyft.

LaGuardia is actually closer to me than Newark but I never really consider using it (at least not until now). Two tolls, the Deegan/FDR and Triboro bridge combo makes it a painful trip.
We used to use LGA a lot when it was one of the JetBlue hubs when JetBlue was really good, cheap and offered live TV...But yes, what a PIA to get to. Same with JFK...

OT: NCAA Revokes Final Year of Eligibility of Baylor WR

Think he is in the same boat at Jett Eland (or a similar boat). If he was at Minnesota, he could Row the Boat, but I digress.

The Waco District Court used to be known as the "rocket docket" for patent litigation because cases moved so quickly. Not sure if the same would apply in his case, but know there are two opinions in separate district courts (Eland in NJ and Pavia in wherever he filed). Would think an emergency motion would be granted quite quickly based on the outcome of the other two decisions, and the NCAA would be wise to just roll over and not contest the filing and let him play.
But isnt the difference being plying 3 years or less of NCAA football? Howard did CC and 4 years of NCAA that did not include Covid year.

The ruling of played 1 year of non NCAA is the term that causes the issue. As would, if, they granted him eligibility only to revoke it at a time that would be easily proven to cost him money

I think that's about what I paid a few years ago, Newark to Somerset County. Very worth it on arrival over Uber.

Suggested analysis: A position-by-position comparison of last years vs this years. Minus Bailey/ Harper!!!

On paper, the teams match up except at center where that team had Cliff. That gap in talent is similar to the drop off in losing Dylan or Ace. To even be as good at that team, we’d have to make up for that somehow. Someone would have to overperform expectation. One of the Euro guys or a frosh?
I think the analysis would be the "question marks" of the incoming players and returness for 2025-26 versus the ACTUAL performance of the 2023-24 team.

For example, any speculative analysis at 2G would be a comparison of the incoming very, very uncertain and thin options at 2G for 2025-26 versus the REALITY of 26 mpg of Simpson - a good defensive player, but literally the singularly worst offensive player in the country. How does one handicap that? And so on and so forth.

Of course, that won't stop me from doing so - just not going to happen until later today or tomorrow, perhaps, when I have the time.

If I had numbers on actual dollars budgeted for FAA infrastructure, I'd post them, but I don't. But directionally, the fact that discretionary spending has been cut roughly in half over 60 years is likely at least part of the explanation and yes, I have zero idea what's been spent on FAA radar and communications infrastructure over this time, although it's almost certainly not the zero you implied above since the infrastructure bill, as per the link, below, from the DOT, which states that airports were scheduled to receive $25B out of the $673B (new spending) in the bill, so surely some of that has gone to radar/communications upgrades.
