I’ve noted many times that the NFL Combine is the most overrated event in sports when it comes to gauging talent, yet every year I get caught up in what a guy runs or what a guy jumps or what a guy throws (combine studs that probably went a bit high: JaMarcus Russell, Donte Stallworth, and jus...

The New York Jets' gin-blossomed legend offered some candid thoughts on his old team and, right now, he doesn't like the Jets' quarterback situation at all. Obviously, he was a more interesting interview subject before he befriended Bill W., but he's still got some pluck in him without the booze . T...

Former Jet Larry Grantham nearly lost his Super Bowl ring when cancer brought him low, but thanks to some—what do you call them? Oh right—decent human beings, there's some hope left for this planet. Grantham was an All-Pro linebacker in the early 1960s and was also a member of that mirac...

Brett Favre retired yesterday for the second time in 11 months, and if the New York Jets are lucky, this one will stick. The decision to sign Favre last August was an unmitigated disaster, typical of the Jets' blundering over the last quarter century. Stripped of the illusions the New York media wra...

Not many people have been complimentary of Brett Favre since the Jets’ season went down the tubes courtesy of his three interception performance against the Dolphins in week 17. That capped off a 1-4 finish leaving the Jets at 9-7 despite starting the season a sparkling 8-3. Thomas Jones was b...

Despite living in New York for the last five years, I’ll admit I was clueless that New York Jets owner Woody Johnson had a lesbian daughter (who, it is reported, refuses to speak to him). Cool, right? Well, just like the gays would rather not “claim” some people as our “own&#...

Poor Woody Johnson. The Jets' owner has watched recently as his team capitulated, his quarterback underachieved, and his daughter had her hair set on fire by her lesbian girlfriend. Wait, what? Casey Johnson, whom the New York Post calls "the madcap Band-Aid heiress," got into a "raging catfight" wi...

It’s hard to work up some bombast about the Mets or fulminate about the Jets when people are lobbing rockets at each other and lunatics are killing innocents....

Not so fast, Jets fans. This guy was almost done with his makeshift Bill Cowher T-shirt when the news came down: The Scowl has rebuffed the green and white after all. On Tuesday Cowher said he'd like to talk with the Jets about their head coaching position, but by late that afternoon — oh, aro...

So three more coaches were fired on Monday, further reinforcing the notion that there are two types of head coaches in the NFL: those who are fired and those who are going to be fired. Eric Mangini had a roller coaster ride going 10-6, 4-12, and now 9-7. The team seemed to peak in week 12 which is w...
