    OT: 2 fairly well known NJ Breweries closing down

    What was the catalyst for zoomers to become teetotalers and head towards weed? I feel like drinking is a right of passage in HS and college. How does something like that change so drastically. From the 70s through the 2010s everyone drank beer and than nothing? we’ve always been a nation of...

    OT: CEO Dies in Freak Accident at Company Party...

    This type of thing is why those boardwalk rides that are swings that go around in a circle and you are kind of flying around freak me out. They have two wires attached and a safety chain in case the wires break. That thing is sitting out all summer and who knows how old it is and it gets tons of...

    OT: Home Audio/Video Discussion

    I did a big home renovation last year and put all my audio visual equipment in my basement in one spot. Huge pain in the ass but well worth it. No wires anyplace upstairs. Super clean and a single simple remote for the whole tv. Ceiling speakers controlled from my phone as well. It’s like a...

    OT: California moves closer to becoming first state to ban tackle football for kids under 12

    The no heading in soccer surprised me in my town since my son is now at the age where the ball goes more in the air. Goalie punts and bigger kicks. I was definitely surprised but lots of things in sports surprises me now feom I was a kid in the late 80s and early 90s. Properly heading a soccer...

    OT: California moves closer to becoming first state to ban tackle football for kids under 12

    I was the oldest and my dad didn’t let me play football. His reasoning at the time was getting my knees blown out. He wasn’t even thinking about neck or head injuries. Always about getting your knees blasted. However my younger brother did play football in youth up through all of high school. I...

    Coaching Fails on Multiple Fronts Is Why We Are BAD this year

    He’s a big tall kid who can dribble. Why not drive to the hoop and stop trying to shoot threes. That one game early in the year he was crushing it. That didn’t look like a bust to me. But I agree that I thought he’d be shooting lights out and it’s not even close. It’s odd.

    Gavin needs more touches…

    I did like his late game drive to the basket. He’s a big kid so a head of stream and soft touch at the rim is good.

    Semi OT: $200M New Baylor Arena Downsize + Premium Seating Receiving Universal Praise

    I feel like 10 to 12 is a sweet spot. 7,500 is tiny. Need to balance that intimate vibe with not having tickets cost too much because it’s too exclusive. stadiums built in the early to mid 2000s are around that 12k mark Oregon, Pitt come to mind. But maybe that works for Baylor being in Waco...

    OT: The best NJ Band that never made it..

    Def catchy. I listened it it just now and my 5 year old just started walking around the house singing the chorus over and over again. Music industry is impossible. Labor of love in the end like most art forms.

Each day cost me around 2,000 when they had a handful of guys there working. 350 sounds dirt cheap. And those prices were going...

    OT: Great column about nonstop noise at arenas

    I haven’t been to a game at the RAC in a while but didn’t notice what this article is saying in basketball. I just went to a Pitt basketball game this past Saturday.
