Have to say the names. At least one of them. This is insane.

New Jersey is ready and excited to host eight FIFA World Cup matches this summer – including the World Cup Final. Since I took office, my Administration has been working to prepare for the biggest sporting event our state has ever seen – and today, NJ TRANSIT released their Mobility Plan to move 40,000 fans to and from each match safely and efficiently. In the FIFA World Cup agreement that my Administration inherited, FIFA put zero dollars towards transporting World Cup fans. It also eliminated parking at MetLife Stadium, putting the burden of transporting four times more matchday riders than typical for an event at the stadium on NJ TRANSIT. This agreement will cost NJ TRANSIT at least $48 million, while FIFA is positioned to make $11 billion during the World Cup. As I have said repeatedly, FIFA should cover the cost of transporting its fans. If it won’t, we will not be subsidizing World Cup ticket holders on the backs of New Jerseyans who rely on NJ TRANSIT every day.











ESPN sources: the Green Bay Packers are trading wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick. Wicks will sign a one-year, $12.5 million extension with the Eagles, per his agent @DavidMulugheta.



New: World Cup ticket buyers accuse FIFA of “misleading” them. Altered categories, seat maps that failed to disclose hospitality sections — "it's hard not to feel scammed," one fan told me. Full story free to read @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/71756…



“Hard not to feel scammed.” By now, the word is out - World Cup tickets are eye-wateringly expensive. But some buyers have noticed an extra sting. Despite purchasing Category 1 tickets, a redrawing of multiple stadium seating maps has led to confusion and frustration that they didn't get what they paid for. @HenryBushnell investigates ⤵️ 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/71756…
