It Looks Like MetLife Stadium Is On Fire, But It's Not
Don't panic! This photo is just a trick of perspective. There is a massive brush fire burning in Jersey, near the Meadowlands—it was even visible from Brooklyn for a time. But the homes of the Giants, Jets, and the depressing standardbreds of Meadowlands Racetrack are safe....
Rex Ryan Is The Only Person In The World Who Doesn't Want The Jets To Do <i>Hard Knocks</i> Again
Owner Woody Johnson was curiously coy about the Jets doing another edition of HBO's Hard Knocks, when asked about it last week. That's because, according to Fox Sports, he's totally all about it.

Tim Tebow's Sermon On The Hill
If there were any doubt about Tim Tebow's portrayal in the press as the living embodiment of Jesus Christ, this write up of a question and answer session Tebow gave this afternoon is the final nail in palm. Maybe it's deliberately tongue in cheek, but forgive me if I have my doubts....
The Jets Haven't Said No To <i>Hard Knocks</i>
First, let's temper our hopes and dreams: HBO hasn't asked the Jets to take part in the 2012 edition of Hard Knocks, the training camp reality show that introduced the world to Rex Ryan, the most interesting man in sports. But, and this should be front page news, Jets ownership didn't immediately ru...
A Cornell Fraternity Pledge Had To Dress Up As Mark Sanchez And Sign Autographs In Town
The graduates of Ivy League schools have been responsible for some of the greatest cons in American history (the Vietnam War, for example).

Tim Tebow Is So Uncontroversial The <em>Times</em> Is Afraid To Say What's Not Controversial About Him
Hey, anyone want to fire up the ol' Tim Tebow culture war again? It's been, what, three days? Well, here's a "meet the new guy" story in today's New York Times called "Tebow, a Careful Evangelical."

The Broncos Took A Smaller Trade Haul Just To Make Tim Tebow Happy
We learned two things about Tim Tebow and Jacksonville today. First, that he pronounces his hometown team's name "Jagwires," and second, that it's absolutely true the Broncos let him choose his destination. He chose the Jets, and the Broncos shipped him to Jersey, despite the Jaguars offering a bett...

Trading For Tim Tebow Was A Football Move Of No Consequence
Tim Tebow is a media circus of the highest order, but his trade to the Jets is not a disastrous football move. Of course, it is not a great football move either. And Tim Tebow to the Jets is definitely not a move designed to push the Jets over the top in the AFC. But we already knew these things. S...

New York Jets To Drew Brees: Quit Your Damn Whining Already
It was a dandy of a day for whoever was running the official NFL team Twitter feeds.

(You know, because THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS are in any sort of position to...
Darren Rovell Thinks This Jets Logo With A Crucified Jesus Christ Is Worth Your Attention
There is absolutely no reason why the Jets would need to redo their logo just because Tim Tebow, who happens to be extremely religious, is about to bring his own unique brand of "football" to the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. Therefore, we're confused why CNBC's Darren Rovell would feel com...
