Ines Sainz Showed Up To Jets Practice Today In Four-Inch Heels And An Azure Cocktail Dress

Alternate Footage Of The Cowboys/Jets Taser Fight
This newly-uploaded video captures more of the aftermath of the attack, beginning with an off-camera woman screaming to security, "Hurry up, he's got a taser!" It ends, as most Jets fan videos do, with the crowd chanting "asshole."...
Cowboys Fan Didn't Just Taser A Jets Fan; He Tasered A Marine On 9/11
The Cowboys still fancy themselves "America's Team," but there are very little in the way of patriotism requirements to root for them. Leroy McKelvey of South Carolina is the man who somehow brought a stun gun into MetLife Stadium, and tased three fans in his section at halftime. One of them a marin...
A Brief Dispatch From Las Vegas On The Occasion Of The Jets Beating The Cowboys On 9/11
LAS VEGAS—The scene: Caesars Palace. A quiet corner of a quiet bar, DAL-NYJ on the TV. A handful of exceedingly pleasant Cowboys fans sitting in a half-circle.

Behold This Bumbling Romo-Sanchez Lowlight Reel
It was never clear last night just which quarterback would throw away the game for his team: Tony Romo or Mark Sanchez. In the end it was Romo, who fumbled twice and threw the ball away to Darrelle Revis (Sanchez also threw a pick and fumbled the ball away) to help the Jets set up a game-winning f...

Like The Real Thing, Fake Brett Favre Just Won't Go Away
First, he showed up at a Packers practice dressed in a Favre jersey and apparently signed a few autographs, which, for a day or two, made for a rather amusing story. Then, somebody interviewed him, and he was just so surprised at all the attention he received for showing up at a Packers practice dr...
Rob Ryan On Rex's Foot Fetish: "Naw, I Mean Hell, He Is A Little Freaky I Guess"
You may have read about the possible foot-fetish-filmin' proclivities of New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan. He likes feet, Deadspin told you last December, and then Wes Welker joked about it while Ryan wouldn't talk about it....
Derek Jeter Was Kind Of A Computer Geek (And Other Things We Learned From His High School Yearbooks)
Derek Jeter attended Kalamazoo Central High School in the early nineties, where he was a two-sport athlete, a "royal couple" in the Winterfest Court, and a computer lab tutor (we can only surmise that it was still safe for the star jock to be a computer geek because nobody really knew what computers...

Derek Jeter And Tom Brady Were Awkward High School Boys Once
The SI Vault published 28 photographs of athletes from their high school yearbooks today. There are plenty of highlights—Brett Favre's mullet, Barry Bonds's jheri curl, and Mark McGwire's poignant senior quote, to name a few—but our personal favorites feature young, awkward Derek Jeter and young, aw...
ESPN's Ian O'Connor Confuses His Job Duties With Eli Manning's
Did you hear what Plaxico Burress did at the Meadowlands last night? He did nothing. The ESPN.com caption this morning was "Plaxico Burress shines in his first game back in the NFL, scoring a touchdown against the Bengals on Sunday." This is a stupid lie, born of boredom and fraud: Burress's first g...
