Kinnelon Rower Added to Roster at University of Kansas

Sarah Elstien participated in the U.S. Rowing Youth Nationals earlier this year.

Sarah Elstien of Kinnelon will row on the University of Kansas women’s crew team. Team coach Rob Catloth announced Saturday that Elstien has been added to the team’s roster. “We feel like the strength and athleticism of our spring signees will meld well with the signees we had in the fall,” Catloth told kusports.com. “We are looking for them to come in and elevate our program.” Elstien, who has been rowing with the North Jersey Rowing program for three years, signed a letter of intent to attend the university in April, NJ.com reported.

Mark Sanchez, Geno Smith Sound Off at Jets Camp; Who Do You Like?

After a mess of a season, the Jets look to move forward with the right signal caller. Who do you think is the better option this season?

Practice makes perfect, and if you take a look at the Jets’ performance last season, they need a lot of practice. But don't fear Jets fans, Gang Green is already on the practice field at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in Florham Park. Hundreds of fans attended the team's mini-camp Tuesday and got a good look at the Jets' current quarterback competition. While projected starter Mark Sanchez was throwing a pass, a Jets fan could be heard saying, “he looks good out there, he is in control,” while another muttered, “False leadership.” Draft pick Geno Smith and Sanchez took turns running the offense, but pay no mind to the order in which the names are written. Geno looked good and was putting the ball on the money but Sanchez was much…

Fantastic Finish to Charitable All-Star Football Classic

A wild fourth quarter ended on the final play in the 2013 Paul Robeson game. Check out the video.

There's nothing quite like a big time spring football game.  About 80 of the finest football players from around North Jersey gathered Tuesday for the 2013 Paul Robeson All-Star Football Classic, and this year it was an instant classic. The West blocked a field goal as time expired to win 13-12. Senior football players from Essex and eastern Passaic County comprised the East All-Stars, and seniors from Morris, Sussex, Warren and western Passaic counties formed the West All-Stars. Not only did the game feature some of the best football talent New Jersey has to offer, it also attempted to give back to a charitable cause. “We started reaching out to the area schools in February,” said East Manager Ken Trimmer. “There is some great talent out …

The New York Red Bulls, who call Harrison their home, will not be the only face of professional footy in the metropolitan area for much longer.

And all my point was that the attempt to market MLS as "major league," given the premiere leagues already in places--a number in Europe--was, to me, a waste of time.
