@jimbo6ft10 @2WayMaxi It was a while ago for me - I remember people really not liking the fact he left…probably a stretch to say hated. Just trying to think of a really good player on not-so-good terms other than the obvious

@PeterMooreUSA The World Cup is for FIFA. Full stop. Be gone with your nonsense. Infantino was given an opportunity that cost him only a fake trophy, and they cash in. Est. revenue is $13B for this World Cup. Last 4 since? $7.6B, $6.4B, $5.7B, and $4.2B.

“If the average fan can’t afford to be in the stadium, then I think the question is: ‘Who is this World Cup for?’”

@LipchainNeeded @n8rix @Colleenallreds @NJTRANSIT @grok Yeah but if he did that, u wouldn’t witness the beauty of his argument getting shut down by Grok about 7 times before he gets frustrated & says, “Whatever with your data-driven analysis, u didn’t answer how I want so I’ll just say I’m right because common sense”. CLASSIC!!! LOL!

@n8rix @Colleenallreds @NJTRANSIT @grok Bro, the article will take five minutes to read, try using your brain before battling others in the comments. Good lord.

Does @NJTRANSIT stand to make a killing on the $150 World Cup transit ticket?
We inquired about the costs and the math.
On a normal day NJT recovers 25 cents for every $1 it costs to operate the system; at $12.90 they would have recovered just 8 cents.

@Jamesinclair @sganley @StevePoliti Yeah, so I got it wrong. I thought the $150 was ONLY for NYC-SEC-MetLife-SEC-NYC passengers. Apparently it’s for ANYONE doing the SEC-MetLife leg, regardless of where you start, NY or NJ….
English
@Sigma982 @sganley @StevePoliti Because people who live in NJ want to use NJT to get a NJ event? What does NYC have to do with the question? We dont care about the NYC service. We want to know how people in NJ can get there.
English
The most remarkable thing I heard at the truly remarkable World Cup Mobility Plan Briefing: the $150 NJ Transit ticket does not include a place to park in Secaucus.
English
@sganley @StevePoliti Yeah but that has nothing to do with $150 ticket. The $150 is for NYC Penn to the stadium and back. Why would it need to include parking at Secaucus?
English
@Sigma982 @StevePoliti There are large parking garages around the Secaucus Junction station. Some people who attend events at the Meadowlands will park there and take a $5 RT shuttle New Jersey transit train to football games.
Seems like even if you park there you’ll still have to pay the parking fee
English
English
@Colleenallreds @northjersey There are 8 days in which matches will be played in NJ. thus, would it be too much to ask of Mikie Sherrill to just increase the amount of trains on those days, and to do free of cost? Honest q.
English
Both FIFA and the Murphy administration walked back the “free” public transportation requirement in 2024 — when @northjersey was the only one reporting on this and had the contracts and addenda.

FIFA have responded to this - and strongly. “We are quite surprised by the NJ Governor’s approach today on fan transportation. The original FIFA World Cup 2026 Host City Agreements signed in 2018 required free transportation for fans to all matches. Recognizing the financial strain this placed on the host cities, back in 2023 FIFA adjusted the Host Agreement requirements across all host cities as follows: All Match Ticket holders and accredited individuals shall be able to access transport (public or additionally planned transport) at cost to allow travel to Stadiums on match days. “FIFA worked for years with host cities on transportation and mobility plans, including advocating for millions of dollars in federal funding to support host cities for transportation. “FIFA World Cup will bring millions of fans to North America along with related economic impact. Many fans will travel to NYNJ to enjoy the eight matches scheduled. FIFA is not aware of any other major event previously held at NYNJ Stadium, including other major sports, global concert tours, etc., where organizers were required to pay for fan transportation.”
English
@maryamhajhassan @AdamCrafton_ There’s no subway to Stadium. Not sure of bus situation - “Stadium shuttles” being offered for ticket holders where they can do shuttles from specific “Park & Ride” locations, but I don’t see the details on the FIFA site re: getting tix, price, or where the stops are
English
@Sigma982 @AdamCrafton_ Why can't they take the subway or a bus?

Governor Mikie Sherrill@GovSherrillNJ
We inherited an agreement where FIFA is providing $0 for transportation to the World Cup. And while NJ TRANSIT is stuck with a $48 million bill to safely get fans to and from games, FIFA is making $11 billion. I’m not going to stick New Jersey commuters with that tab for years to come. FIFA should pay for the rides. But if they don’t – I’m not going to let New Jersey get taken for one.
English
@maryamhajhassan @AdamCrafton_ There’s no parking. FIFA shut the parking lots except for a garage just off-site that they control and are charging $200+ to park.
English
@AdamCrafton_ Why can't the fans just pay for their own transportation?
English
@Jadentheman1 @AdamCrafton_ I think that’s the case with Foxborough, I don’t think it is with NJ, but the amount received was like 20%
English
@ArkansasQuant @AdamCrafton_ “Federal funding” which never came because guess who decided to come in charge around the time to host this event?
English
@Eamon_K_ Is this just for Boston-Foxb? Because maybe it’s due to the fact that FoxB hasn’t gotten the funding they were supposed to get, and that’s the only way to regroup that shortfall? I don’t know…..

Mark it. As dysfunctional #UNC was with Bill, they’ve gone from being behind the Bball NIL curve vs SEC, BYU, etc, and leapfrogged everyone with starting the NBA coach move in the NCAA. U may not like it, but they figured it out @espn

@ToTheBaha Win in spurts its players as much as coaches….Hurley is incredible, but he needs to win 2-3 more in his career over the next 10+ years to be in the all-time/Rushmore conversation…just facts for players vs coaches,,…now with NIL, is it GM too…just a different era starting now
English
@StreetsPolls @PeteThamel College basketball 5 yrs ago ain’t college basketball now…..
English
@PeteThamel He won a ring with the Denver Nuggets - cool. But college basketball ain’t the NBA.
English
Sources: North Carolina intends to hire longtime NBA coach Michael Malone as the school’s next basketball coach. He’s an NBA Championship coach with the Denver Nuggets from the 2022-23 season and has won 510 games as an NBA head coach.
English
@TMADE2GRAMZ @PeteThamel @ShamsCharania Should a kid that’s looking to go pro ignore playing for a coach who won a Chip <5 yrs ago, made the playoffs 7 of 10 seasons with Denver, has connects all over the NBA, and coached Jokic, Curry/Draymond (asst.), Lebron (asst.) and others? That’s crazy to me.
English
@PeteThamel @ShamsCharania My main question is can he recruit? And I’m talking about recruiting top High school kids? This is way more diffident than the NBA when you got a team that’s already built for u to coach. Ijs

@hashtagjoking @junkiesRpeople Only in the TV and Movie industry, and pretty much any non-comedy medium. Not that he was necessarily a dick (on purpose), but he was self-sabotaging with his non-chalant attitude. Loved him anyway but felt bad because he was a real one that deserved more flowers…
