Dave Weinberg Extra Points
With a background as a sportswriter and columnist for the Press of Atlantic City, I've dedicated over 30 years to covering the vibrant world of sports in South Jersey, focusing on its athletes, coaches, and teams. For nearly three decades, I served as a beat writer for the beloved Philadelphia Eagles. This role took me to every NFL city and allowed me to witness two Super Bowls, including the Eagles' historic first championship in 57 years at Super Bowl LII. During the off-seasons – and often during the games – I could be found at various sporting events, from high school baseball games to championship boxing matches, the ShopRite LPGA Classic golf tournament, and even the final race of the NASCAR season. As a columnist, I occasionally stepped beyond the realm of sports to share stories about local individuals, capturing their triumphs, challenges, and significant moments. This passion for storytelling continues through my recent blog, where I explore similar themes. Throughout my career, I've been honored to be inducted into three Halls of Fame and have received three New Jersey Sportswriter of the Year awards, along with numerous accolades at both national and local levels.

The crossroad for local boxer Thomas LaManna is the Las Vegas Strip. The Millville High School graduate will be fighting former two-division world champion Jermall Charlo (33-0, 22 KOs) in a super-middleweight bout Saturday at the Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort. A victory puts LaManna (39-5-1, 18 KOs) in position for a world title bout. A loss essentially ends that dream. “This is my final shot at greatness,” LaManna said.

It’s tough to repeat. Only nine NFL teams have won back-to-back Super Bowls in the last 59 seasons. Will the Eagles’ become the 10th? It’s way too early to tell how the season will pan out, but that has never stopped me in the past. The official regular-season schedule was released tonight and as always, here’s my initial prediction as to how the Birds will fare in 2025.

For the 50th consecutive year or so, the Eagles were thrilled with their acquisitions during last week’s NFL Draft. Just as their predecessors did in the previous decades, general manager Howie Roseman, coach Nick Sirianni and the various assistant coaches and scouts expressed delight over the 10 players they selected. About the only difference was their wardrobe.

ATLANTIC CITY – Big-time boxing returned to Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall Saturday night for the first time in 11 years. It was worth the wait. A roaring crowd of approximately 8,000 watched Philadelphia welterweight Jaron Ennis deliver a spectacular performance that produced a sixth-round TKO over Lithuania’s Eimantis Stanionis in a championship unification fight. “Man, it was incredible,” Atlantic City Boxing Hall of Fame president Ray McCline said.
