Jerry
Izenberg, sports writer emeritus for The Star-Ledger, sits at the top of his
craft for that publication. Too bad that
he is no longer permanently active but, whenever he comes out of his
well-earned retirement, he sure sets the ink on fire – a master at using words
to get his point across.
On Saturday,
February 3, 2018, he penned a justifiably scathing front-page column about the
hypocrisy of the National Football League; namely, the NFL’s “hypocrisy” in its defensive legal battle
to keep the Garden State from becoming what could be the Las Vegas of the East
Coast for sports gambling.
