Airports Told To stop Overpriced Food And Drinks

March 24, 2025

Say goodbye to overpriced food and drinks at New York area airports! 

The Port Authority, which is the agency responsible for LaGuardia, JFK and Newark airport just released a new policy for vendors to stop over-pricing items. In the 35-page report it is made a rule that concession prices can’t be more than 10% higher than ‘street prices’ for the same or similar product. Vendors will also have to now offer lower priced menu items and they can let their customers know that they can complain about a possible over-charge on social media! 

“All airport customers should rightly expect that policies which limit the pricing of food and beverages at concessions will be followed and enforced,” said Kevin O’Toole, the chairman of the Port Authority, in an official statement. 

“And all airport customers and concessionaires should expect tough pro-active enforcement going forward now that these revised standards are in place.”

People have always complained about the prices inside airports, and a specific social media post went viral last year with a photo showing a list of beers around $28 each. The tweet led to the Office of the Inspector General to investigate.

Yankees Ace Gerrit Cole Has Tommy John Surgery And Will Miss The 2025 MLB Season

March 18, 2025

New York Yankee Gerrit Cole had Tommy John surgery.

Cole was experiencing elbow discomfort during a spring training outing and underwent an MRI that ultimately revealed the need for Tommy John surgery.

The news is a devastating blow to the Yankees and Cole, who’s approaching what would be his 13th MLB season at 34 years old. 

Pitchers who undergo the procedure to reconstruct the ulnar collateral ligament generally face a 12-to-18-month timetable to return. The procedure rules Cole out for the entire 2025 season and places his long-term future as an MLB ace in doubt.

Justin Fields Gets NY Jets QB Job and $40 Million

March 15, 2025

The New York Jets and free agent quarterback Justin Fields reached a contract agreement with Fields getting a two-year, $40 million deal that includes $30 million guaranteed.

Fields, 26, now becomes the favorite to be the Jets starting quarterback in 2025.

The Bears drafted Fields out of Ohio State with the 11th overall pick in 2021, the same draft that the Jets took Zach Wilson with the No. 2 pick. Fields showed flashes of potential but it never clicked for him in Chicago as he played for two different head coaches and two different offensive coordinators in his three years there. He went 10-28 as the starting quarterback and the Bears moved on last year, trading him to the Steelers.

Fields started the first six games of last season in Pittsburgh and did some good things. He threw five passing touchdowns and rushed for five more and had only one interception. The team was 4-2 when Steelers coach Mike Tomlin decided to switch to Russell Wilson as his starter.

Fields played sparingly for the rest of the season and is now moving on from Pittsburgh, which reportedly was interested in re-signing him.

In his career, Fields has thrown 45 touchdowns, run for another 19  and thrown 31 interceptions. He has a career QB rating of 83.9 and a 61.1 completion percentage.
