Historic Robert Saleh hire sparks loooong-lost feeling of hope for this Jets fan
I do not understand. This does not compute. It simply cannot be that the New York Football Jets have gone and done something that hasn’t made me either irate, confused, sad ... or simply emotionless.

Washington throws away playoff hopes like Dwayne Haskins tosses dollar bills

Dwayne Haskins caught maskless with strippers, future deservedly in jeopardy [Updated]
So apparently, Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins likes strippers more than his career. After losing to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Haskins decided to party it up — maskless — with some ladies at a local jiggle joint....
Talking about Sarah Fuller as a ‘first’ avoids the uncomfortable conversation of Katie Hnida
Just after Sarah Fuller calmly kicked her first extra point for Vanderbilt yesterday in a game against Tennessee, ESPN sent out the alert. “With her successful PAT, Sarah Fuller becomes the 1st woman to score in a Power 5 game.”...
Please don't let Keyontae Johnson become the cautionary tale we've too long ignored
The first time I mentioned Joe Hall on this website was in my first week here, which was also the first week of the coronavirus pandemic shutting things down.

Where should DeMar DeRozan have a good time?
LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan are still San Antonio Spurs. They probably shouldn’t be for the entire 2020-21 season, given that the Western Conference playoff outlook will likely exclude them. Last week, I wrote about a set of teams that should target Aldridge between now and the trade deadlin...
Robert Saleh should be a head coach in the NFL tomorrow
The Rams folded a game against the 49ers at home that could have given them a significant lead in the NFC West. Jared Goff played like a Best Buy store clerk once again, throwing for just 198 yards and two interceptions. So nothing really out of the ordinary here....
Daily News beat writer allegedly tailed Jets GM’s son, kept covering team after ban from facilities
