Tony Sparano's Exit Plays Out Like World's Saddest Horse Race
Tony Sparano was a goner as soon as this game ended. He knew it, you knew it—we all knew it. So, rather than talk with reporters about another woeful Jets offensive performance, he just left. No "no comment," "sorry guys, I'm not talking" or "get out of my face, you hyenas"—he just calmly walked o...
Mark Sanchez Is Once Again The Starting Quarterback For The New York Jets
Last we checked in on the Jets' quarterbacking situation, Tim Tebow was a coddled malcontent who just wanted "to play regular quarterback."

Here's The Youtube Video That Got A Norwegian Kicker A Tryout With The Jets
Back in September, a 27-year-old from a tiny Norwegian town named Havard Rugland uploaded this video to Youtube.

The Mets Are Reportedly Planning To Trade R.A. Dickey Because They're $6 Million Apart In Contract Negotiations
Another year, another superlative Met apparently departing because of ownership's cheapness. Last year it was Jose Reyes, Flushing's fan favorite, who high-tailed it to Miami after winning the National League batting title. This year, to hear ESPN (and others tell it), it's R.A. Dickey, the reigning...
The Only Thing Mike D'Antoni Detests More Than His Team's Play Is T.J. Simers' Questions
There's probably no other sports reporter/columnist out there who can ingratiate himself so well to a coach as T.J. Simers of the Los Angeles Times, if by "ingratiate" we mean "antagonize coaches coming off a bad loss by uttering outrageous allegations that make them to want to strangle you in fro...
Braylon Edwards Is Headed Back To The Jets, For Some Reason
Remember last week, when Braylon Edwards said some nasty things about the New York Jets' management when he took to Twitter to defend Mark Sanchez? I believe he referred to those "calling the shots" as "idiots." Surely, the Jets wouldn't want anything to do with a guy like that....

Good News, Mark Sanchez: You Still Have One Fan In The NFL. Bad News: It's Braylon Edwards.
Braylon Edwards, who is currently a useless member of the Seattle Seahwaks, used to be semi-relevant when he played for the New York Jets. As such, Edwards has strong opinions about the current state of the Jets franchise, specifically the struggles of Mark "Buttfumble" Sanchez....
One Of The Mets' New Minority Owners Has Been Accused Of Consumer Fraud. He'll Fit Right In.
Will the Mets ever be anything but an incorporated facepalm of a team? The latest addition to the team's ever-growing portfolio of pathetic missteps comes courtesy of The New York Times, which points out today that one of the team's new minority owners is allegedly little more than a flowery scam a...
Jets Fan Breaks Out The Mark Sanchez "Buttfumble" Jersey
It was over long before Greg McElroy put on his helmet, wasn't it? Mark Sanchez lost his team last week, when he ran headfirst into a lineman's ass. It's tough to be a respected locker room figure—a leader of men, really—when your career highlight reel is negated by a Farrelly brothers pratfall....
Greg McElroy Is Your Player Of The Game
McElroy finished the day with one touchdown, completed 71 percent of his passes and did not have the last name "Sanchez." Your player of the game: so it is written, so it shall come to pass....

Here's An Angry Mob Of Jets Fans Mercilessly Heckling The Team

Dear Fireman Ed: F-U-C-K Off! Off! Off!
In case you missed it, unofficial Jets mascot Fireman Ed, whose claim to fame is going to Jets games and spelling one word very loudly, "retired" yesterday. And the best part is that he retired because people at the stadium were just too darn mean to him:...
Last Night's NFL Broadcast Featured A Lot Of Jets Fans Who Were Pissed Off, Ridiculously Dressed, Or Both
Perhaps you heard the Jets lost last night in rather hilarious fashion. The Patriots beat New York up, down, sideways, and into dimensions not yet discovered or even imagined. The result? A lot of sad Jets fans, many of whom put on their finest in turkeyhat millinery just for the occasion. Here are...
The Jetsiest Jets Play Ever: Mark Sanchez Fumbles After Getting Floored By His Lineman's Ass
A Mark Sanchez fumble, caused by a teammate's ass in mid-pratfall, returned for a touchdown. God bless you, New York Jets. You're one of life's inherently funny things, like words with "k" sounds or Millard Fillmore or talking bears. ...
Mark Sanchez And The Jets Are Wearing Team Shirts That Say "We Will Persist"
The New York Jets have had a rough few days. Killed on the road in Seattle, killed by the media, and now killed—if you consider dismissing the throwing abilities of a backup quarterback who can't pass "killing"—by an anonymous member of their own defense. But do the Jets despair? Hell no. They made ...
