Yankees Help Bring New Rival for Red Bulls

New York Yankees and Manchester City have teamed up to bring a new professional soccer team to NYC by 2015.

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. New York City is planning to kick the ball around in the MLS come the spring of 2015. Major League Soccer Commissioner Dan Garber announced the birth of the newest franchise in the MLS: the New York City Football Club. The new club will be owned by 2012 Barclay’s Premier League champions Manchester City and the 27 time World Series champion New York Yankees. “This opportunity is huge for us and huge for the city. We will work to deliver good, beautiful football to the fans in New York,” said Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano. “We are very happy and honored to have the Yankees as partners.” Yankees…

James, Why belittle another sport (which I dislike, by the way) in order to make your point? 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. Can you go to an MLS game and have a great time and see a competitive, fairly topnotch game? Sure, in the same way you can go see the …   more ›

Play Ball: Montville High's Synthetic Turf Field Ready

'We're a go,' district business administrator says.

The new synthetic turf field at Montville Township High School is complete and ready for action. Business Administrator Jim Tevis said during the Board of Education meeting Tuesday night that school officials walked the field with the contractor during the day and "opened it up for general use of students this afternoon." "We're a go," he said. After a parent expressed frustration that the district has not completed a new baseball field, Superintendent Dr. Paul Fried said the synthetic turf field installation went so flawlessly that completing a project on as neat of a timeline is hard to duplicate. Fried said the project was "completed today way ahead of expectations." Tevis had said at the last school board meeting he expected it to be …

The Irvington native signed a 3-year, $6 million contract with the Jets in March.

Jets running back Mike Goodson was sent to a Morris County jail following his arrest on drug and weapons charges in Denville Friday. Goodson, 25, was the passenger in a GMC Yukon stopped in the left center lane of I-80 West when a tow truck came upon them and called 911 early Friday morning, according to multiple reports.

It was just a little drinking and smoking on the weekends in high school. It was just a little cocaine offered by a friend in college. It was just one little yellow pill during the offseason. Then it was a career down the tubes. Then it was two drug overdoses, one of which was heart-stopping. Then it was a family that turned away because of too much pain.

Unfortunately, for those who become addicted, especially MICA(Mentally Ill Chemically Addicted) there is really no place to go for rehab long-term. The 30 day rehabs are a joke. Unless you can spend many thousands of dallars, you just get put on a waiting list. And the places for MICA are few and far between. If you are a true addict, you need long term inpatient rehab- NA may work for some after…   more ›

Montville's early lead over Whippany Park did not last.

The Montville High School girls softball team faced the Whippany Park Wildcats Tuesday evening at Peterson Field in Rockaway for the Morris County Tournament Championship.  The Mustangs were unable to stop Whippany Park and their onslaught. Montville jumped out to an early two run lead in the first inning.  Although the Mustangs struck out the side in the first, Whippany Park exploded in the 2nd inning with nine runs putting Montville back on their heels.  Whippany Park added two more runs in the 4th on a two run home run from Jenn Sanislo, the Wildcats pitcher and tournament MVP. Montville was unable to mount any offense until the 5th inning when an error, a walk and a fielder's choice put two base runners on the bags.  But two balls hit …
