Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About How Spectacularly Broke The Mets (And Their Owners) Are
Dan Lewis at Amazin' Avenue makes sense of the Mets' finances so you don't have to. Essentially, they're fucked independent of Bernie Madoff, and everything the team could conceivably sell is mortgaged. Makes you yearn for a couple months ago, when the team was a fuzz less fucked, but still fucked. ...
Hey Look, Someone Actually Bet That The First Score In Giants/Cowboys Would Be A Safety
"ACCVentures" over in the Covers.com forums put down $22 at 50-1 that the first score in Sunday Night Football would be a safety. Seems kind of low, and he had to play each team separately, but he's got $1100 and you don't....

Baseball season never ends for the New York Post. Derek Jeter's in the news today because he's reportedly back in the game with a vengeance.

Brandon Jacobs Likes To Dance Dirty
It was bad enough that Brandon Jacobs elected to dance on the star in the Cowboys end zone, but the manner in which the Giants running back got jiggy appeared to be his attempt at eroticism. It gave New York a short-lived lead, and at the half Dallas leads 17-15....
Artem Anisimov Breaks Out The Boomstick, Righteously Pisses Off The Lightning
After scoring his fifth goal of the season, a shorthanded tally in a tie game, Rangers center Artem Anisimov lowered the sights, pumped his stick, and let fly with one of the more demonstrative celebrations of the year. The Lightning took offense and swarmed Anisimov, setting off a penalty bonanza...
Everything That's Wrong With <em>Monday Night Football</em>, In One <em>New Yorker</em> Paragraph
There's a long profile of Jon Gruden in this week's New Yorker, which, frankly, is a little like opening up Guns & Ammo and finding a profile of Noam Chomsky, but there it is nonetheless, a zillion finely wrought words about this guy. Two passages are worth noting....
Dion Phaneuf's Dad Gets High Fives After His Son Decapitates A Ranger
The NHL's radical realignment means four conferences that will need names, so how about the Michael Sauer Memorial Conference after the late Rangers defenseman, taken in the prime of his life by this clean hit from last night. Just kidding! He's not dead. He's being evaluated by doctors with an "u...
What Losing Jose Reyes Really Means For Mets Fans
In eighth grade I wrote a poem about Jose Reyes, the Miami Marlins' new shortstop. The poem wasn't so good. I wrote it in Reyes's gregarious broken English, in which every third utterance is "you know" or "man." But I had to write something quickly for a class, and in April 2005, nothing captivated ...

Jeff Francoeur Enticed Jonathan Broxton By Taking Him Hunting At Jeff Foxworthy's House
We brought you the preliminary details of this courtship in HOTFUCKINGSTOVE yesterday, but we buried the lead.

It Took All Of 16 Seconds For Sean Avery To Get Into A Fight With The Penguins
Calling it a "fight" is a bit misleading—the participants were only assessed two minute roughing minors—but the efficiency by which it was commenced is worth noting, especially since Sean Avery didn't appear to actually start this fight with the Penguins' Tyler Kennedy. (He took a more active part...
When Something Falls On The Ground In New Orleans, Don't Put It In Your Mouth
Reader Craig sends in this video of Justin Tuck dropping his mouthguard during last night's game, then popping it right back in his mouth. Tuck is clearly unfamiliar with the bylaw to the Five-Second Rule that states that if the item in question is moist or sticky, let it go man, because it's gone...
One Jet Thinks Stevie Johnson's "Airplane" TD Celebration Was A 9/11 Reference

Stevie Johnson Beats Revis, Makes Touchdown Catch, Mocks Plax In TD Celebration
