#Dolphins at #Jets is being played at 3:00 PM ET today. It cannot be scheduled any later because of the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961
This act prevents the NFL from casting a game on a Friday night or Saturday that’s located within 75 miles of a high school or college football game happening simultaneously
This is only in effect from the 2nd Friday of September to the 2nd Saturday of December, hence why there are NFL games scheduled on Saturday for Weeks 15-18
Exactly 40 years ago today, 9-year-old me was happy the Yankees won, but completely baffled on how to score the final play of what we know now as the Pine Tar Game. I refused to change it because Billy Martin was right and Lee MacPhail was a chicken.
RIP. Reminds me of what I consider one of the greatest lines in the history of the Washington Post, from the great Shirley Povich:
“Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday.”
FINAL: HOFSTRA 88, RUTGERS 86 (OT)
Speedy Claxton and the Pride knock off the top-seeded Scarlet Knights in the NIT on a game-winner from Tyler Thomas and a stop on the final possession. First postseason win for Hofstra since 2006. Claxton, in just 2 years, has done a great job.
It’s about Education and growth. Despite some medias attempt to paint these young men consistently in a negative way they all rebounded and made us proud. Education in a journey of growth. @ciacsports@SCCcommissioner#ctbb
Kevin Burkhardt used to call games at Wayne Hills High School in New Jersey.
One of the high school football players there: Greg Olsen.
Tonight, the pair is calling their first Super Bowl.
