Overhyped Northeast Media Shitstorms Converge As Analysts Predict Hurricane Sandy Will Somehow Lead To More Tim Tebow

The great thing about the northeastern part of the United States—the only part of the United States—is the way the region and its residents amplify the most of middling of things (think quarterbacks and weather events) into the only things in the world for a brief (long) period of time, thereby ass...

The NFL Will Use Pink Flags In Sunday's Dolphins-Jets Game

Roger Goodell probably gets lots of letters. Written mostly in blood. Mostly others' blood. Sometimes in others' spinal fluid. They go unanswered. But young Dante Cano of Marlboro, N.J. wrote Goodell a respectful letter in presumably impeccable penmanship, and he got results. Cano's letter read,...

Gangnam Style Is Officially Dead, Dez Bryant Is Not: Your Sunday NFL GIF Roundup [UPDATED]

We'll be putting all our GIFs for the day here from a Joe Morgan flip play that does not involve the Dave Concepción to Dez Bryant getting drilled in the head. We'll update the post as the later games conclude, so stay tuned. ...

The Jets, To The Patriots: "Hang On A Minute"

The Patriots' hurry-up offense is quick—too quick, according to the Jets. They point to a crucial moment in the Patriots win over the Broncos two weeks ago in which the Patriots had sped up their offense so much between snaps that the Broncos didn't have time to make substitutions. That's not fair: ...

Tim Tebow Has Officially Trademarked Tebowing

Word trickles out of Jets practice that Tim Tebow is now, finally, the legal owner of the term "Tebowing." This doesn't mean you or I can't continue to talk about or write about Tebow. It just means we can't profit off of it. (What does this mean for ESPN, where Tebow=Profit?)...

Bristolmetrics: Stuart Scott Asks <i>SportsCenter</i>'s Single Dumbest Question Of 2012

This is a regular feature breaking down, minute-by-minute, the content that appears on ESPN's 11 p.m. edition of SportsCenter throughout the week....

Report: A-Rod Spent The Eighth Inning Of Game 1 Macking On Some Ladies

So says the New York Post, which published an article today alleging that A-Rod, having been pinch-hit for in the eighth inning, put a considerable amount of effort into trying to woo two pretty ladies in the stands....

Yankees: Derek Jeter's Injury Tied To Steroid Use. No, Seriously.

The Yankees used injections of the steroid cortisone to keep Derek Jeter playing through a cascade of ankle injuries, culminating in his crippling on-field fracture in Game One of the American League Championship Series, according to manager Joe Girardi. ESPN New York reports that Girardi smiled and...

Mark Sanchez Silenced Tebow Supporters While Throwing For The Third-Lowest Passing Yards In His Career

Guess what, Mark Sanchez haters? Mr. Poise 2009 has made you all shut up. During the Jets' two-game strugglefest (with losses to the 49ers and Texans), Tim Tebow supporters wanted Sanchez replaced, crying, "tim tewbow as stater job!" But now, with the Jets routing the Colts on Sunday, Sanchez can w...

Jeter-less Yankees And McCarver Doing "Who's On First" By Himself: Your Championship Series Open Thread

It's the Tigers in the Bronx again at 4:00 p.m. on TBS, in a series that has so far been essentially bereft of story lines, and robbed of any dramatic potential. Oh here's a story line—why are there so many fat guys on the Tigers? The Cardinals play the Giants in game one of their series at 8:00 p....

The Yankees Lose Captain Luck

Somehow the Yankees lost last night, even though Raul Ibanez had tied yet another game with yet another ninth inning home run, and the loss was not even the worst thing that happened. Derek Jeter is done. Twenty-four hours ago I could not have imagined how deflating it would be, even if you'd laid o...

Derek Jeter Fractures Ankle, Is Done For Season, And The Yankees Lose Anyway

After a four-run ninth-inning rally to force extras, the Yankees disappointed a sparse crowd in the Bronx by dropping the ALCS Game 1 to the Tigers 6-4 in 12 innings. Even worse, skipper Joe Girardi announced to the press after the game Derek Sanderson Jeter would miss three months of action (in ot...

Once Upon A Time, The Jets Were Willing To Bench Mark Sanchez

Drew Stanton was a Jet for all of a week. He signed to be the backup to Mark Sanchez, but other events intervened. Peyton Manning decided on the Broncos, so Tim Tebow became expendable. The Jets traded for Tebow, at a not-insignificant cost in both draft pick and money, and Stanton was the odd man o...

Tim Tebow Is Destroying The Jets Before He Even Has A Chance To Destroy Them As A Starter

Drew Magary's Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo runs every Thursday during the NFL season....

Woody Johnson Got Flustered When A CNBC Anchor Asked Him If Tim Tebow Was Still A Virgin

The Jets held their own against the best team in football on Monday night while Mitt Romney surged in the polls, so New York owner Woody Johnson must have assumed he was on sure footing when he headed into CNBC's coked-up Squawk Box earlier today. After the usual Mark Sanchez chat, Johnson faced a...

Mark Sanchez's Quarterback Rating Is 66.6 Because Of Course It Is

This is almost too good to be true. First, Tim Tebow let us know that last night was the 666th Monday Night Football game in history, and then Mark Sanchez went out and played like Mark Sanchez as the Jets fell victim to the Houston Texans....

The Jets Are In Line For An Attendance Debacle Tonight

It's been reported that as of Friday, the Jets had 12,000 tickets remaining unsold for tonight's game against the Texans. It's understandable. MetLife Stadium is a remarkably joyless place to watch your team lose 59-6. But there have been no whispers of a blackout, so we can assume Woody Johnson has...
