We know it's exciting that the Mangenius is gone in Cleveland, but that's no reason for Hannah Storm and Adam Schefter to high-five over it. They quickly apologized, but still: high-five! More »

The Cleveland Browns are not the worst team in the NFL. Yet, front office chaos, locker room drama, and a lot of lousy football have made them exemplars of what it means to be a terrible sports franchise. More »

The Celtics' ever-humble Rajon Rondo challenged the Titans' Chris Johnson — who's so fast, he reminded Gus Johnson of a felon — to a footrace. Why do NBA players think they can hack it in the NFL? Blame the commish. More »

Mangini fined a Browns' player $1,701 for stealing a bottle of drinking water from a hotel minibar. Which means Mangini only needs to catch 17.6 more Dasani-thieves before he can pay off the $25,00 he owes the NFL. [PFT] More »

OK everyone, act surprised. Not only did Chad Pennington knock the Jets out of the playoffs, but he appears to have scuttled its head coach as well. Mangini, gone! More »

Eric Mangini is not inherently a likable character. He's schlubby, he's obsessive and he always looks exhausted. He was on "The Sopranos;" that's about all we can come up with, positively. But everyone will be rooting for him Sunday. More »

We like Jets coach Eric Mangini, even if he's way too young to be that football-coach tubby. But we — as obsessed "Sopranos" fans since the very first episode — hope he understands the honor bestowed upon him. He cameoed last night on what was one of the most intense, breathtaking episodes of the most intense, breathtaking television programs of our lifetime. We're not gonna give away any spoilers, but ... well, we hope Mangini understand how blessed he was. More »

For all the talk that Bill Belichick is a genius — genius with your WIFE! — it's his former assistant Eric Mangini, with the Jets, who's making the real "Look at me, I'm a mad scientist!" moves. Witness the Jets' rookie minicamp, to which Mangini invited two potential Olympic wrestlers. This even though neither has played football since junior high. More »

We find it difficult to become too worked up about coaching rivalries. It reminds us of Neal Pollack's excellent Slate piece about the "cult of the general manager;" all told, if there's a genuine blood feud going on, we'd prefer it to involve people who actually play. They can hit each other, after all. More »

This photo, from today's New York Times, shows various New York Jets hanging out with Elmo on "Sesame Street." We loved "Sesame Street" as a kid, and have little desire to make fun of the show or anyone for appearing on it. That said, right after this photo was taken, Coles and Elmo shared stories of their similar childhood experiences, and then Mangini ate him. More »
