I am ok with the Nets, at least they are known as the NJ Nets.

The Giants/Jets are another story. Not one dime of tax $$$ should go to these teams or the infrastructre surrounding the new stadium unless they change their names. This is an example of the gutless cowards in the legislature.

Was at least NY/NJ Knights. I think the indoor lacross used both as well.

Didn't you make the deal for the new stadium when you were Governor for a time? Why didn't you insert a clause that required the teams to indiciate they are from Jersey? Or did your choice of seats at the new stadium take precedence?

Stop with the inferiority complex about logos and names. The Giants have played outside of New York than they played in NY when you account for the years at the Yale Bowl.

The Jets have played longer in NJ than in NY.

These are NJ teams.

We don't need some grandstanding senator trying to figure out how he will stay in the legislature after reapportionment.

Vote Column "A"- All the way!

O'Toole is an idiot. I hope the Giants and Jets tell O'Toole to take the subsidies and shove it where the sun don't shine.

And then move back to New York, taking all their jobs and other revenue-producing business with them.

This kind of spending got the state into the situation that we are in.  Not one dime to subsidize a sports team.

"You look at any New York Giants or Jets game and the TV pans Manhattan and New York, not New Jersey. Anything positive to highlight the fact that New Jersey is a big league player would be beneficial to our economy in some way."

*******************

Yeah, better to have the cameras on the swamps and smokestacks of Elizabeth.

The NJSEA gets money from parking and concessions at the Meadowlands, so they are benefiting from the presence of the Giants and Jets.

New Yorkers who drive out to the games pay tolls on New Jersey roadways.

And we're all part of the New York Metro area, unless Senator Moron wants to have all New Jersey residents fired from their jobs in NYC in the name of state pride.

Given the state of the economy, I'm sure nobody would have a problem with trimming some of the fat.

a TOOL!

Only in New Jersey. The whole idea of the state providing any kind of taxpayer money for Pro teams is repulsive and makes perfectly clear the need to replace everyone in teh state legislature. I am not kidding. The best thing the people of this state can do to not only put the state on the right course for the future, it will also send a very clear message to elected officials on the national stage as well. Enough is enough. No elected official, either statewide or nationally, possess any special talent that requires they be the ones holding office. Where there's a democrat vote for the Republican. Where a Repub lican vote in teh Democrat. All of this nonsense will stop overnight and we can start fixing this state for our kids and grand kids.

Why are you upset? Do you know what the rest of the United States thinks of New Jersey? For your information it is Corruption. So why would the Nets want to display NJ?

Just for the record, the corruption is the system of which you are an integral part. We had a lot of indictments recently and if I were you, I wouldn't draw any attention to yourself just because you are only up to your waist in it. If they ever look into your patronage record, using your office to keep your entire family employed with tax dollars, you will be a target too.

You have used your office to employ your whole family and to direct tax dollars to your law firm.
