Today on the show we discussed the new practice facility the Philadelphia 76ers will be building along the Camden waterfront. While on the surface, it seems like a much-needed revenue source for the Garden State.

Not every NJ politician is celebrating in the streets over this deal though. Senator Mike Doherty called the show today to discuss the agreement and why this is a bad deal for NJ and its taxpayers.

Even though the deal is to generate an estimated 250 jobs, Doherty mentions that much like the Super Bowl and other sports-related business deals in NJ, that these deals never work out as planned.
