The Jets Are Trying To Get Two General Managers To Work Together, Since It Went So Well To Have Two Quarterbacks Do That
At this point, the sad-sack New York Jets aren't a circus, as the New York Post insinuated back in September. They're a bizarre performance art project that only a few people can tolerate watching. Their inept handling of seemingly every decision has become impressive....
Tim Tebow Is A Coddled Malcontent
The Jets dressed three quarterbacks for their game against the Chargers yesterday—a game they lost, 27-17.

The Bulls-Knicks Game Went To Complete Shit Last Night, And Produced This Beautiful GIF Of A Dismayed Spike Lee
When you're not particularly used to losing, any downturn in your fortunes seems like it must be the result of some malevolent scheme from outsiders that bear you ill will.

Oregon Football Boosters Are Mad That Chip Kelly Doesn't Hang Out With Them
The Chip Kelly era has brought the Oregon Ducks to two Rose Bowls and a BCS Championship Game in three seasons—and a Fiesta Bowl appearance this season—so it'd seem difficult to complain about the then-unknown New Hampshire offensive coordinator who took over a Pac-10 program.
