I've been going to Bills @ Jests game for the last 15 or so years and have been razzed quite a bit there & actually was scared a few times but it never amounted to any fights or anything 'cuz I ignored them. 4PM games were especially bad because of the extra drinking time but yesterday was very different, for the most part, they were actually nice before the game & Willis' TD took them out early during the game. I really had a fun time with my friends in lot 6 & over @ 16C with the NYCBB tailgate party. A buddy of mine drank 2 shots out of Kenny's bowling ball & could actually blow the horn well! It was a great time!

Iron Hills Conference Champions 2005 & 2006 Gerardi passes for 4 TDs as Par Hills soars, 38-20 Sunday, November 19, 2006 BY SEAN REILLY For the Star-Ledger Mike Gerardi threw touchdown passes to four different receivers and Parsippany Hills pulled away with a big fourth quarter to defeat Teaneck, 38-20, in the semifinals of the NJSIAA/Gatorade North Jersey, Section 1, Group 3 playoffs last night in Teaneck. Parsippany Hills (10-1) never trailed in defeating Teaneck (8-2), No. 13 in The Star-Ledger Top 20. Parsippany Hills earned a rematch with No. 3 Wayne Hills in the sectional final in two weeks. Wayne Hills beat Parsippany Hills, in the final last season at Giants Stadium. Gerardi, a senior, connected on 16 of 27 passes for 163 yards to five different receivers. He was effective from the start in leading his team on a six-play, 73-yard scoring drive on its first possession. The drive was capped by a 9-yard TD pass to Bill Magill with 8:02 left in the first quarter. The drive, which began after the Parsippany Hills defense held Teaneck to a three-and-out opening series, included first-down gains on four consecutive plays leading up to the TD. "We got up and stayed up," Gerardi said. "We basically controlled the tempo with a lot of big plays. A lot of different people stepped up. Our line play was unbelievable and we were able to run, which helped open up our passing game." Parsippany Hills was able to withstand the rushing efforts of Teaneck's fine junior back, Rashad White (29 carries, 205 yards). White tied it for Teaneck at 7-7 with a 5-yard TD run with 11:06 left in the first half, but Parsippany Hills was able to end the half with a 14-7 lead after Gerardi found Tom Tran (four catches, 81 yards, two interceptions) for a 29-yard TD at the 4:10 mark. Teaneck then drove to the Parsippany Hills 3-yard line, where it was faced with a fourth-and-goal with 1:19 to go in the half. But White was stopped inches shy of the goal line by the Parsippany Hills line. Parsippany Hills, which lost Magill, its leading receiver and a key defensive back, to a knee injury late in the second quarter, overcame his absence with the help of Anthony Rossi, who made four catches for 51 yards, all in the second half, including a 7-yard TD catch from Gerardi at the 6:52 mark of the third quarter for a 21-7 lead. After Teaneck pulled to within 21-13 following a 4-yard TD run by Tony Smith in the final minute of the third, Parsippany Hills pulled away with a 17-point fourth quarter. The surge started with a 24-yard field goal by Vin Ablahani, the first of his career, with 7:48 to go, followed by a 12-yard TD pass from Gerardi to Brian Olsen at the 6:24 mark to make it 31-13. Olsen finished with a season-high four catches totaling 32 yards. After a 76-yard TD run by Teaneck quarterback Travis Warren 23 seconds after Olsen's TD, Rossi capped the scoring with a 25-yard interception return with 1:57 to go. Parsippany Hills (10-1) 77717 -- 38 Teaneck (8-2) 0767 -- 20P: Magill 9 pass from Gerardi (Ablahani kick) T: White 5 run (Nagrin kick) P: Tran 29 pass from Gerardi (Ablahani kick) P: Rossi 7 pass from Gerardi (Ablahani kick) T: Smith 4 run (run failed) P: FG Ablahani 24 P: Olsen 12 pass from Gerardi (Ablahani kick) T: Warren 76 run (Negrin kick) P: Rossi 25 interception return (Ablahani kick) Par Hills hammers Teaneck Section 1, Group III Par Hills 38, Teaneck 20 Mike Gerardi threw four touchdown passes to lead Parsippany Hills to a 38-20 victory over Teaneck on Saturday night. The Vikings gained a berth in the state championship, where they will play Wayne Hills. Gerardi hit Anthony Rossi from six yards out with 6:48 left in the third quarter to give the Vikings a 21-7 lead over Teaneck. The senior quarterback has three touchdowns on the day, hitting Bill Magill for Par Hills' first score before a 27-yard scoring throw to Tom Tran in the second quarter. Teaneck found the scoreboard again at the end of the third quarter to pull within eight, 21-13. However, with 7:44 left in the game, Vin Ablahani nailed a 26-yard field goal to give Par Hills a 24-13 edge with 7:44 to play. At 6:14, the Vikings padded their lead when Gerardi found Brian Olsen for a 12-yard score to make it 31-13 with 6:14 to play. Rossi stepped up again with 1:57 to play, nabbing an interception and returning it for 25 yards to make it 38-20.

  23. Giants, Jets hit NFL with $300 million stadium bill Friday, November 03, 2006 BY MATTHEW FUTTERMAN Star-Ledger Staff Giants co-owner John Mara has told the National Football League his team and the Jets will not build a new, shared stadium in the Meadowlands unless they receive $300 million in funding from the league, according to several NFL owners. Mara's ultimatum, delivered at the NFL owners' meeting in New Orleans last week, comes as the league mulls the Giants' and Jets' controversial application for what has become known as "G-3 funding." The money has helped 10 other NFL teams build or renovate stadiums since 1999, with as much as $150 million in league subsidies for each building. The Giants and Jets have spent months studying how to finance their planned $1.2 billion stadium with or without the money from the NFL, but they have privately concluded the project will be too expensive and risky without the league's support. Publicly, the teams are acting more diplomatically, not wanting to anger or embarrass their fellow owners as they seek their support. In a statement, Alice McGillion, a spokeswoman for the joint stadium venture, said the teams' application for G-3 funding is "going through the normal review process and we expect to be able to work through any related issues. We are anxious to move forward and we are not considering any other alternative." Mara and Jets owner Woody Johnson declined comment for this story and other owners declined to be identified to avoid breaking the league protocol against discussing specific internal disputes. The teams' difficulty in securing league funding has caught state officials off guard. Former Gov. Richard Codey, who engineered the deal for the stadium last year, first with the Giants and later with the Jets, said when the teams and the state agreed to move ahead with the project it was not contingent on $300 million from the NFL. However, at the time, the teams expected the stadium to cost $800 million to $900 million. Now, with prices for labor and construction materials rising, the teams expect the stadium could cost as much as $1.3 billion, and the NFL funding has become vital. "The commissioner's office was always behind this, so I'm still hopeful it's going to happen," Codey said this week. In part, the planned 80,000-seat stadium at the Meadowlands is becoming a victim of its expected success. With 200 luxury suites, 10,000 premium club seats and a naming rights deal that will likely produce as much as $20 million a year, the new stadium is expected to produce more than $100 million a year in gross revenues for each team, and $22 million in profits. Since 1999, NFL owners, who share much of their revenues, have helped subsidize construction of stadiums by giving up the visiting team's one-third share of club seat receipts in the new buildings. Funding has been limited to $150 million for each facility, but since the Giants and Jets will share this stadium, they want $300 million. The potential problem for everyone -- except the Giants and Jets -- is the money the stadium generates goes into the pot of the NFL's total football revenues. Under the new collective bargaining agreement with the Players' Association, the players receive 59 percent of the total football revenues. When the revenues go up, so do the players' salaries and, according to the league's projections, the new stadium's expected success will force teams to spend an additional $2 million a year on salaries each year from 2010, when the stadium is expected to open, until 2024. So, for example, a small-market team such as Buffalo could see its expenses rise significantly even though its revenues don't get much of a bump. "The discussion going on is about whether G-3 should be extended or revised and what should the stadium finance program be going forward," said Greg Aiello, the NFL's chief spokesman. Reached at his home in Dallas yesterday, Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt said the Giants-Jets application presents a conundrum for the league. "The facts and figures seem to show that maybe there's been a disparate effect -- that the beneficiaries are the teams seeking the G-3 and the players, while the others, in this case 30 or 31 teams, are penalized -- not intentionally -- by a major increase in the player aspect of it without proper credit given." Hunt said the NFL may have to return to the bargaining table and seek concessions from the Players' Association because "for us to go blindly ahead with a project that's going to hurt the other 30 teams would not be the way to go." Both the Giants and Jets have approved every other G-3 application that has come before the league the past seven years. G-3 applications must receive support from three-quarters of the league's owners. In addition, the Giants' decision to give up their lucrative local television rights 40 years ago and enter into a national television contract with the other franchises is credited with making the NFL the cash cow that it is today. Now the team, as well as the Jets and state officials, are hoping the Giants receive the same support they once gave. "I would hope everyone recognizes having a first-class, premiere facility for these two franchises as a flagship for the league would be beneficial for every team owner," said Carl Goldberg, chairman of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, the state agency that operates the Meadowlands.
