'Turf Sucks, Place Is Lame:' NFL Players Would Rather Go To Any Stadium But MetLife, Poll Finds "If you build it, they will come." At least, that's what Ray Kisella said in "Field of Dreams." But many NFL players would rather not when it comes to NFC East locales, according to a new poll by The Athletic.

Out of 79 responses, MetLife Stadium (18.4 percent) was overwhelmingly voted the worst stadium to play in by NFL followed right behind by FedEx Field (13.9 percent).  Highmark Stadium (12.7 per…

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…
