Dave Klein, who covered the Giants for decades at The Star-Ledger and attended the first 54 Super Bowls, died on Wednesday. "He had a lot of good history in New Jersey, which is where I’m from," Bill Parcells remembered. nj.com/giants/2025/05…

Pioneering in Piscataway? Rutgers is nearing the end of its search for an athletic director, a process that has focused exclusively on candidates with a "commercial background." Will it work? The guy running the search sure thinks so. Column: nj.com/rutgersfootbal…

Our man Pat Lanni gets lost in South Jersey and finds a museum with a delightfully random collection of sports memorabilia. nj.com/sports/2025/06…

For the first time in nearly decade, the same high school won boys and girls basketball state titles. But it didn't happen at the type of place you would think. Welcome to Hoopsville, N.J. nj.com/highschoolspor…

The rest of the world will turn its eyes toward us one year from now when the World Cup arrives in our backyard, and what they see might embarrass the hell out of us. Column: nj.com/sports/2025/06…

New investigation: Over the past 10 years, 118 N.J. coaches have been accused of sexual misconduct. They say youth sports have become a breeding ground for child predators, no one realizes how bad the problem is, and few are doing anything about it. nj.com/news/2025/06/p…

Aside from the terrific reporting from Matthew Stanmyre and Keith Sargeant on this troubling topic, they were able to build a first-of-its-kind database of sexual predators in the coaching/training ranks with the help of Vinessa Erminio. nj.com/news/2025/06/p…

Springtime is for optimism in the NFL, so here's a take I might deny I ever had when autumn arrives. But maybe Russell Wilson is exactly what the Giants needed — now and, more importantly, for their long-term interests. Column: nj.com/giants/2025/06…

A former gymnastics coach didn't appear in databases for convicted sex offenders until Matthew Stanmyre and Keith Sargeant started asking why he wasn't in them. More great reporting that should concern you if you're a parent with kids in youths sports. nj.com/news/2025/06/p…
