Have A Cool Yule, Everyone

Which NFL Coaches Will Be Unemployed Next Week?
There was a time, not that long ago, when the Jets were on top of the world and area fans were seriously considering an all-Jersey Super Bowl. Boy, those were the days....

The Jets Fly High Over the Titans
After 12 weeks the Tennessee Titans have joined the ranks of the defeated thanks to (sigh) Brett Favre and the New York Jets. Apparently there's been a rather large puddle of blood on the field stemming from an injury to Albert Haynesworth, and from what I understand there have been no efforts made...

Blame the Wildcat: Favre Is a Wide Receiver and Fisher Is Skydiving...And McNabb Is Benched
Brett Favre learned everything he knows about playing wide receiver from an instructional book written in an obsolete vernacular. And for some reason Jeff Fisher decided to make his arrival at Friday's practice via parachute. Both teams have added field goals since we last checked in, making the sco...

The Jets Try To Steal Perfection From The Titans
Could today be the end of perfection for the Titans? Tennessee faces off against Favre and the Jets at 1:00 and it should be a doozy. Even with Favre's probable interceptions, the Jets should prove to be the Titans biggest challenge so far. For once I'll be rooting for the Jets, as perfection is bor...

Jets QB Not Named Favre Suspended For Violating Drug Policy
It is not a good week for back-up quarterbacks. First it was Florida, now the Jets. It seems that Jets Rookie QB Erik Ainge was suspended four games by the NFL on Friday for violating the league’s policy on steroids and related substances. It doesn't seem to be a huge loss for the team: ...

Brett Favre And Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum's Broseph Love Is Boundless and Obscenity-Laden
The New York Jets were fired up after their victory over the dastardly Patriots last Thursday night and rightly so, considering all that was on the line. But no one was more excited than the ol' gunslinger, Brett Favre, who shared an unreserved embrace with Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum after the victory...

The Packers Are One Step Closer to that Second Round Draft Pick
Last night's ridiculous Jets-Patriots battle in Foxborough turned out to be everything a football fan could hope for , with the requisite Favreian/Spygate intrigue thrown in for good measure. But even though Favre ended up on the winning end of things and played a mistake-free, efficient game, it wa...

The $400,000 New York Jets Tickets
Hey, Jets fans! Are you excited about the new Meadowlands stadium opening in 2010? Are you also an obscenely rich business tycoon in a recession-proof industry and lacking all economic conscience? Then you are in luck—or you were—when it comes to securing a seat in the new stadium. Unlike the Giants...

Perhaps Woody Johnson Should Just Leave His Phone At Home Next Time
Well, that was awkward. Jets owner Woody Johnson apparently still has the phone number of his ex-girlfriend, Erika Mariani, programmed on his cell phone — interesting — because he somehow inadvertently dialed her number from a hospital delivery room while his current girlfriend, Suzanne Ircha, was g...

Thank You Brett Favre, For Teaching Us How To Laugh Once Again
Oh Brett Favre, you and your playful, backwoods prankster antics. In what passes as high-concept comedy in Mississippi and certain portions of Wisconsin, Favre pulled the hilarious gag of leaving a dead animal he had shot in the locker of a Jets teammate. Of course this hasn't been considered origin...

The Smart Money Was On The Chargers Last Night
Brett Favre on Monday night, against the Chargers? Once upon a time, that was the lock of all locks; Favre always comes up big on Monday, and had beaten San Diego five straight times since 1993. But Brett is wearing a different shade of green now, I'm afraid. As we can see in the photo here, he's pl...

And Now You Get To Share Your Opinion About Comment Threading During Your Usual Monday Night Football Yelling Session
It's amazing that the soothsayers at ESPN actually picked the Jets to be featured on a Monday Night Football gameh so early in the season. Now, they can capitalize on Brett Favre's national unveiling as a New York Jet and beat that storyline into the ground until viewers collectively turn the volume...

The perfect gift for: People still on the fence between Obama and McCain; commuters who live in Green Bay and work in New York; outpatients with multiple personality disorder; Peter King. Usually ships within 4-5 business days, unle...

The Average NFL Team Now Worth Over $1 Billion
Just as a refresher, the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise fee was $2,500 back in 1933. Art Rooney had the money to pay the franchise fee thanks to winnings at Saratoga Racetrack. Yeah, pretty good investment. As always it makes you want to kick your grandfather. The NFL becomes the first sports league...

Just What The NFL Needs; More Nazi-Related Controversy
Should a new stadium for the Giants and Jets — shown here with the Jets going for it on fourth-and-long from their own 35 — be named after a German corporation with ties to the Holocaust? The controversy continues to swirl over New York, as Allianz Insurance would reportedly pay $20 million to $30 m...
