Victor Cruz Is Only A Giant Because Rex Ryan Couldn't Keep His Mouth Shut

Barry Petchesky — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:35:00 EST

When it came time to break camp in 2010, Victor Cruz was decidedly on the bubble. It's not that he wasn't talented, but rather that the Giants weren't yet sure what they had. Ideally, they would have cut him and stashed him on the practice squad. It was a risk, given that any other team could have signed him, but the Giants front office doubted any other team would use a roster spot on an untested, undrafted receiver out of UMass. More »

One Jet Thinks Stevie Johnson's "Airplane" TD Celebration Was A 9/11 Reference

Barry Petchesky — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:25:00 EST

You thought Bob Costas was stupid? You clearly didn't know how stupid human beings could get when discussing end zone celebrations. That apotheosis belongs to Jets tackle Sione Pouha, who's convinced that Stevie Johnson was out to mock the death of thousands. More »

Stevie Johnson Beats Revis, Makes Touchdown Catch, Mocks Plax In TD Celebration

Timothy Burke — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 14:45:08 EST

Stevie Johnson, who one presumes has yet to forget being forsaken by God, trolled the Jets hard after getting clearance from Darrelle Revis to catch a touchdown pass from Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick—first pantomiming a Plaxico Burress club self-shooting, then performing the airplane... that crashed. Buffalo & the Jets are tied 14-14 at the half. [CBS] More »

The Dejected Faces Of Mark Sanchez

Conor Hastings — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 10:35:11 EST

The great battle for AFC East supremacy last night turned into somewhat of a Patriots blowout and a game that was not all that much fun to watch. The one thing that did bring great joy was the body language of Mark Sanchez, whose moods ranged from misery to dejection to bike-pedaling, sisyphean existential despair. That video is above; a video of the plays that caused many of these moods is below: More »

Santonio Holmes Gets Vocal About A Pass Interference No-Call

Timothy Burke — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 23:31:41 EST

As far as incidental broadcasts of sports profanity go, this is pretty tame (the only less-offensive being your Bobby Knight "chickenshit") but Santonio Holmes' complaint about the no-call on this pass in the second half of the Patriots-Jets SNF matchup is still amusing—especially the belated attempt by an NBC audio mixer to mute him out.

The Jets-Bills Game, In One Flinching Sanchez And One Steamrolled Bison

Barry Petchesky — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 10:20:05 EST

Mark Sanchez is not a wide receiver. He is a quarterback, a celebrity, a franchise, a patron of the arts, a deviant, and a pitchman, but he's not a wide receiver. So when he lined up wide in the wildcat (and as for why the Jets were running the wildcat up 16 with three minutes left, your guess is as good as mine), Drayton Florence took the opportunity to put the fear of god in a man without blockers for once in his life.

Rex Ryan To Appear As Patriots Fan In Adam Sandler Movie Also Starring Vanilla Ice, Susan Sarandon

Rex Ryan will have a cameo in an Adam Sandler movie due out in 2012 called I Hate You, Dad. He'll play a Boston-area lawyer and a passionate Patriots fan, which is funny, because Rex Ryan ~~wants to be the head coach of the Patriots~~ actually hates the Patriots. More »

Low-Budget Pitbull Imitator Produces Nauseating "Do The Mark Sanchez" Video

Jack Dickey — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 14:10:00 EDT

There aren't too many lyrics here, other than "do the Mark Sanchez," and "heart of a champion," so it's hard to dispute their words with statistical evidence. (Of note: the call-and-response here is "Who's number one?" "We number one!" But "we" could really be the Jets or the performers.) Mark Sanchez isn't good, but they don't really claim that he is. Also, "the Mark Sanchez," a bent-arm point skyward that closely resembles the Soulja Boy, is not a move that Mark Sanchez ever performs on the field. If they wanted to more closely mimic Sanchez's physicality, they'd be better off imitating a check-down on third and long. More »

Rex Ryan Honors Joe Namath By Wearing His Jersey; Joe Namath Responds By Calling Rex Ryan A Fat Mess

Dom Cosentino — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:00:00 EDT

For some reason, seemingly everything Broadway Joe says about the current Jets makes news in New York, where The Guarantee is something of a Sermon on the Mount for aging sportswriters. Namath has been especially critical this season of Rex Ryan, questioning the Jets' preparation on one occasion and saying Ryan is "too darn nice" to his players on another. And now Namath has taken his critique a step further. More »

Mark Brunell Is Broke

How did Brunell, with 18 NFL seasons under his belt and more than $50 million in earnings, find himself with comically turned inside-out pocket? Pretty much the same way all broke professional athletes lose their money: a series of bad investments, including a failed Whataburger franchise. More »

The Jets Are Being Babies About Their Thursday Night Game

Barry Petchesky — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:55:00 EDT

Mike Mayock says the Jets are "upset" and "frustrated" at being the only team to play a Thursday night game after a Sunday night game (instead of after a Sunday afternoon game) when they head to Denver in week 11. So just a heads-up now: if the Jets lose to a hapless Broncos team, they're going to claim it was because they had 4-7 hours less prep time than everyone else. [Star-Ledger] More »

Darrelle Revis And His PR Handler Hung Up On A Trolling Mike Francesa Today (UPDATE)

Jack Dickey — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:42:00 EDT

WFAN/YES Network host Mike Francesa is a special combination of windbag and gadfly. He's the self-appointed expert on all matters of New York sports, even though he doesn't know much about them. And he loves picking on angry, frothing Jets fans for their loud coach and on-field antics, despite the team's success. (The pitch-perfect fake Mike Francesa Twitter perfectly mimics his yammering about the "classless Jets.") Consequently, the Jets don't appear for interviews on Francesa's show, even though they appear with regularity on other WFAN programs. More »

Rex Ryan Retroactively Guarantees Super Bowl Rings For Team He Never Coached

Emma Carmichael — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 14:15:50 EDT

It has been a watershed week for coach fights in the NFL. First, of course, there was the Great Handshake Showdown Of Oh-Eleven at Ford Field on Sunday evening, when two grown men disagreed about the proper way to deliver post-game handshakes and resorted to standing around grimacing at each other amongst their players. And now, we can all gather 'round and gape at Ryan vs. Turner. More »
