The Jets Will Make A QB Change, Just In Time To Continue Being Terrible And Directionless
Coming into this season, the Jets had two choices.

This video comes to us courtesy of Animal New York, and it features Takeru Kobayashi, everyone's favorite eater in exile, wolfing down 12 hot dogs in 60 seconds. In slow motion. It's pretty gross. Although we must admit that the musical score does add a certain artistic flair....

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.

Dickey, the reigning...

The Yankees' Lineup Is Going To Be Very Sad And Old This Season
The Yankees finally made their big free-agent splash this week, when they signed Kevin Youkilis, an aging third basemen with bad hips, to fill in for Alex Rodriguez, their incumbent aging third basemen with bad hips. OK, maybe it was less a "splash" than a "thud." Youkilis was terrible last year, p...
Happy Birthday, Ryan Boys! Looking Back At 100 Combined Years Of Rex and Rob

Braylon Edwards Is Headed Back To The Jets, For Some Reason

JaVale McGee Had A Bad Minute During Last Night's Nuggets-Knicks Game [UPDATE: Now With George Karl Reaction GIF]
On Friday JaVale McGee performed a terrible, wonderful, perfectly awful feat and helped lead the Nuggets to a big win.
