Dear Neighbors,
 
Congratulations to Quarterback Joe Flacco who lead his Baltimore Ravens to victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII. Camden County’s native son and the pride of Audubon, Joe led the Baltimore Ravens to a Super Bowl win in the largest professional sports event played in the nation. Last night, Joe was a true field general, driving the Ravens down the gridiron for three touchdowns during the game and making everybody proud of his tremendous leadership, skill and athletic ability.

 

 

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (February 3, 2013) – Former Rutgers All-America running back Ray Rice started at running back for the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII as the Ravens captured their second Super Bowl with a 34-31 victory over San Francisco. Rice along with Alex Silvestro both captured Super Bowl rings, the first time in RU history two former players were on a Super Bowl winning squad.

Rutgers was just one of four schools nationally with at least two position starters on the two Super Bowl XLVII participating teams – the AFC Champion Baltimore Ravens and the NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers. The Scarlet Knights had two active players on the field in Super Bowl XLVII– the second-most in school history, trailing only last season with three players.

Former Scarlet Knights to Win a Super Bowl Ring

After several years of Guidettes and Mafia wives representing New Jersey in the national entertainment media, last night\’s Late Show with David Letterman changed things up by featuring 2 of our states more positive prominent citizens.

Monday Night (2/4/2013), Governor Chris Christie and Audubon\’s Superbowl MVP Joe Flacco were guests with Letterman. On a national level, they are two of our most talked about residents right now, and the irony is that one is seen as one of the most athletic people in the country, while the other…

Clips of the Christie\’s interview show that it was all about fun… Dave admits he has made Christie\’s weight a regular target of jokes on the show, and the Guv goes right along with it, pulling out a donut at the start of the interview \”I didn\’t think this would be so long\”

Christie does look uncomfortably big in the chair next to Dave. Maybe as he sits with the family today watching the show, it will sink in that yeah… I need to do something! (Hey Guv, Brooklawn has a new Planet Fitness opening soon…)

Joe Flacco, fresh off his impressive MVP Superbowl winning performance also takes a seat at the Sullivan Theater, and does a great job representing South Jersey. In all his interviews, you can tell he\’s still getting used to his rise in the NFL and national media, as he seems to come off maybe a little too honest, like he\’s one of the guys sitting at the front bar of the Oaklyn Manor. Its a good thing.

People have always commented on my \”South Jersey\” accent. Listening to Joe, I definately get it. He sounds like 100 people I graduated High School with.

🙂

The two clips above both come in around 2:20 in length. I\’m not sure if they are the full interviews for both of our fellow New Jersians, so head over to the Late Show web site to catch the full episode (which is probably only available a short time).

 

President Obama\’s health care law will push 7 million people out of their job-based insurance coverage — nearly twice the previous estimate, according to the latest estimates from the Congressional Budget Office released Tuesday.

CBO said that this year\’s tax cuts have changed the incentives for businesses and made it less attractive to pay for insurance, meaning fewer will decide to do so. Instead, they\’ll choose to pay a penalty to the government, totaling $13 billion in higher fees over the next decade.

But the non-partisan agency also expects fewer people to have to pay individual penalties to the IRS than it earlier projects, because of a better method for calculating incomes that found more people will be exempt.

Overall, the new health provisions are expected to cost the government $1.165 trillion over the next decade — the same as last year\’s projection.
