Last night, Notre Dame and Army renewed their historic college football rivalry at Yankee Stadium. The Fighting Irish won the game decisively, 27-3, in front of a sold-out crowd of 54,251 fans, and everyone felt bringing the game back to NYC was a huge success. "It was an exciting atmosphere, and our kids fed off the energy. For those who felt New York City's not a college football town, it is a college football town as well: At least it was [last night]," said Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly. more ›

According to NotifyNYC, "A parachute jump is scheduled over Yankee Stadium at 7PM. You may see low flying aircraft and multiple parachutes jumpers."

While President Obama drew a lot of flak from the Catholics angry about him giving the commencement speech at Notre Dame yesterday, pro-choicer Mayor Bloomberg seemed to fly under the church's radar for being honored (and giving "humorous" remarks) at local Catholic university Fordham on Saturday.

The Post talked to one New Yorker who sat out her Notre Dame graduation yesterday (opting to spend the time praying instead). She told the paper, "I wouldn't be able to approve them handing him a degree. Your commencement speaker is supposed to be someone you emulate, and they're supposed to be sending you off into the world." more ›

Successful Staten Island high school track star Arielle Newman died from poisoning that occurred from the over-application of topical pain-relieving balms. The 17-year-old was found dead in her bed by her mother the morning after she attended a large party on Staten Island in April, and suspicions initially turned to drugs or alcohol as the cause of her death.
