It's Bryce Petty Time
The New York Jets still have four games left to play, but last night’s no-show against the Colts was an effective and fitting end to their season. The Jets are 3-9 now, and whatever combination of luck and competence that got them to a 10-6 record last season is nowhere to be found....

Boomer Esiason Alleges Ex-Agent Planted Story About Darrelle Revis Wanting To Retire
Late last night, New York Daily News Jets beat writer Manish Mehta reported that an anonymous “confidant” of Darrelle Revis’s had told Mehta that Revis wishes to retire. Here is the exact quote as it appeared in Mehta’s story:...
You Guys, I Think The Winnipeg Jets Might Be...Good?
I feel entirely uncomfortable even noting this development, wary of some quantum observer effect in which quantifying Winnipeg’s success will cause them to go back to the futility with which the franchise has come to be synonymous. The Jets are a delicate baby bird, to be cupped ever-so-gently for f...
The NFL Knows America Doesn't Want To Watch The Jets
We already savaged the Rams for their role in the NFL’s least enjoyable game since this Week 1 debacle, but no one deserves to come out of that with dignity intact. The Jets, led by Bryce Petty in his first NFL start, were just as complicit, punting eight times and gaining just 17 first downs. You d...
It's Been A While Since The NHL Had A Rookie Who Could Score Like This
If the 2015 NHL draft was a two-headed hype monster—McDavid and Eichel as a clear 1A and 1B—maybe it’s not to early to start thinking of 2016 not as merely the Auston Matthews draft, but as draft that brought us Matthews and Patrik Laine. The Winnipeg Jets rookie now leads the league in goals....
Report: Mo Wilkerson Was Benched For Missing His Own Birthday Party
Yesterday against the Dolphins, Jets coach Todd Bowles benched two of his best players, Mo Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson, for the first quarter. Bowles declined to reveal to the press why he sat two of the team’s only indispensable players during a quarter in which the Dolphins put up two touchdo...
Darrelle Revis Is Still Getting Roasted
The Jets won yesterday, beating the Browns, which, okay. That makes two in a row for New York, which has slightly eased the suffering caused by a particularly disastrous four-game losing streak that triggered the brief return of Geno Smith. Still, you wouldn’t exactly call the victory over the Brown...
Report: Geno Smith Has A Torn ACL
Geno Smith spent the first six weeks of the season sitting on the bench, watching Ryan Fitzpatrick and the rest of Jets play gross football. He finally got the starting nod against the Ravens on Sunday, and made it through four series before leaving the game with a knee injury. After the game, the i...
What's Wrong With The Jets, Besides Everything?
Six games in, let’s check in on the 2016 New York Jets:...
Patrik Laine Is Also A Very Good Hockey Teen
Auston Matthews’s four-goal explosion in his very first game was the most impressive showing by a rookie so far this season, but he’s not the only precocious youngster scoring bundles of goals. Finnish winger Patrik Laine was picked by the Jets right behind Matthews, and the two hockey teens met ton...
Todd Bowles Changes His Mind About Ryan Fitzpatrick
Last night, the Jets limped their way to a 28-3 loss to the Cardinals. Ryan Fitzpatrick started, went 16-for-31, and tossed a pick. He was replaced by a very mad Geno Smith, who ended his only drive by throwing a pick to Tyrann Mathieu. The Jets have a surplus of quarterbacks, but that doesn’t reall...
Eric Decker Will Get His Shoulder Repaired As Soon As His Repaired Hip Heals<em></em><em></em>
The New York Jets placed wide receiver Eric Decker on injured reserve on Oct. 12 after he partially tore his rotator cuff in September. Decker will need surgery on his shoulder, but before he undergoes that procedure, he needs to repair his hip....
Former NFL Lineman Dennis Byrd Dies In Car Accident

The Jets Have Bigger Problems Than Ryan Fitzpatrick
This is not what the Jets envisioned when they finally ended their very long and very weak standoff with Ryan Fitzpatrick. All they needed was a competent quarterback who could score a few points and let the defense win games, and Fitzpatrick seemed to fit the bill. The best-case scenario for the 2...
Ryan Fitzpatrick And The Jets Were "Shitty All Around"
After Eli Manning threw the Giants’ game away, it wasn’t going to be easy for the Jets to wrest away the New York tabloids’ back pages. Well, not only does Ryan Fitzpatrick appear on both this morning, but his achievement was so singular, they were forced to go with the exact same headline: “Pick Si...
