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

Remember last week, when Braylon Edwards said some nasty things about the New York Jets' management when he took to Twitter to defend Mark Sanchez? I believe he referred to those "calling the shots" as "idiots." Surely, the Jets wouldn't want anything to do with a guy like that....

JaVale McGee Had A Bad Minute During Last Night's Nuggets-Knicks Game [UPDATE: Now With George Karl Reaction GIF]

Let's break down his play in this nearly...

The Misfit Knicks Stole The Show Last Night

There were two things that were remarkable about last night's New York-Miami game, a 112-92 victory for the antique Knicks. The first, predictably, was LeBron James, who put up 18 points, five rebounds, and seven assists in the first two quarters—a perfectly played half of basketball, and a reminde...

Mark Sanchez Is A Bad Quarterback. That's Why He Shouldn't Try To Play It Safe.

During Sunday's Fox telecast of Mark Sanchez's public flogging, in between the moments when Brian Billick repeated "jump street" and read copy for New Girl, a graphic popped up: Mark Sanchez, it read, had turned the ball over 81 times since his NFL career began in 2009, the second most turnovers of ...

<em>The New Yorker's</em> Story On Paul Finebaum Forever Stains The Magazine's Annals With This Passage

Mark Sanchez Will Stay The Jets' Starter, Reportedly Against The Wishes Of Woody Johnson

Despite Greg McElroy's season-saving drive against the Cardinals—the most celebrated 5-for-7 in team history, perhaps—Mark Sanchez is still the Jets' quarterback. Sanchez will start Sunday in Jacksonville, McElroy will return to holding a clipboard, and the Jets drama train rolls on....

Darnell Dockett Might Have Spit In Kerry Rhodes's Face During The Jets Game

Down a point and the clock running out, the Cardinals had one and only one chance to win the game: Intentionally the Jets score a touchdown, and get the ball back with two minutes left.
