Sports-Loving Jersey Shore Crab Makes Super Bowl
Lviii
Prediction
Maybe he appreciates the Kansas City Chiefs' young and talented defense, maybe he's a Swiftie, or maybe he just likes red more than gold. Whatever the reason is, the sports-loving spider crab at SEA LIFE Aquarium New Jersey has made his prediction for Super Bowl LVIII. The crab from the Shark River in Monmouth County has picked the Chiefs to beat the San Francisco 49ers, according to the East Rutherford aquarium. Even though the Niners were listed as two-point favorites on DraftKings on Thursday, Feb. 8, the prognosticating crustacean went against the oddsmakers. "Without any hesitation, h…

A 54-year-old Kinnelon resident was arrested for punching a nurse after he was taken to a hospital during the Giants game on Sunday, Nov. 26, police said.

Tuddies For Tommy: North Jersey's DeVito Notches First NFL Career Win With NY Giants
Who needs home cooking? North Jersey's Tommy DeVito continues to defy the odds, notching his first career win Sunday, Nov. 19 on the road against the Washington Commanders as the Giants earned their third win 31 to 19. And possibly pushed themselves out of contention for the first overall pick in April's NFL Draft. It wasn't always pretty, but the Cedar Grove native and Don Bosco grad threw 246 yards for three touchdowns, despite being battered behind a beleaguered offensive line that allowed nine sacks. The 25-year-old QB will return home following his big win — a home he now famously…

If you believed that former New York Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis is the man in a now-viral video who dropped a driver with a jab during a bare-knuckle roadside brawl, you're not the only one. The identification of Ellis in the clip of two men squaring off -- and one falling like a sack of potatoes when he's popped seconds later -- is the handiwork of a superfan prankster known as "Incarcerated Bob." Both men had their dukes up when the winner in the flat cap, polo shirt and brown shoes feigned a left and snapped a right jab right to the kisser. Boom! goes the dynamite. "That’s not Sh…
