Obama's Comment About NFL is Alarming

Laurie Cataldo — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 18:44:37 +0000

I’m not a hugely political person, and this has nothing to do with party affiliation or anything of the sort. So what did Obama say that has me so…confused?

Lou Russo — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 13:18:03 +0000

I don’t know who’s right or wrong in the labor dispute between the NFL and the refs, but it looks like it’s time for the NFL to just pay up so we can get back to actual football. Now it’s embarrassing. Like I said, I’m not well versed on the labor dispute, but with all the millions [...]

High School football is underway and there are definitely some big rivalries here at the Jersey Shore!

I really could care less about professional football. I like sports and all, but I'm really only into baseball and college football. Still, I, like most people, will be at a Super Bowl party on Sunday. I pretty much always root for New York teams, so this weekend I'm a Giants fan, but honestly? I'm just in it for the snacks and the commercials.

Matt Ryan — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 23:50:54 +0000

Nickelback is a band we play all the time on 94.3 The Point. We’ve found throughout their career that people either love them…or hate Chad Kroeger and the crew. Nickelback fans are true fans and are very loyal. Myself and The Point took listeners to a concert a couple of summers ago and it was [...]
