I’m against public funding of stadiums as much as anyone,but until that’s not the game the leagues all play, it’s absurd to blame one owner for doing the same thing everyone else would do.

I’m too lazy to dig through his garbage, so yeah I’m gonna go ahead and rely on his public behavior.

In this instance, I don’t think the dead ball/game action distinction matters.

Right? What a jerk.

Though I’m not convinced it was deliberate, I won’t argue the taunting call. I think taunting is called too often, but NFL refs throw that flag for less and it’s incumbent on players to act with that in mind. But none of that changes the fact that there also should have been a personal foul on the hit.

As a Knicks fan, my process for consuming this information was to click over to Aldridge’s article, do a search for the terms “amnesty” and “Joakim Noah rule” and then sink into a deep depression after finding neither.

I’m not sure there’s anything that could happen in sports that I would find more unsettling than the Browns being a consistently good team. It would be like if every compass on Earth suddenly began to point southwest. I’m not normally supportive of the narrative that being a loyal fan of Bad Team X demonstrates…

Nah, the subtext here is that leaders - even talented, intelligent and competent leaders who have been hugely successful in the past - can and usually will become ineffective if they refuse to evolve and change with the times.

Both in terms of talent and cap space, there might not be a team in the league worse off than the Jets right now. Fellow cellar dwellers Cleveland, San Francisco and Jacksonville are at the top of the league in cap space, while the Jets are dead last. Cleveland also has a bounty of draft picks and, along with the…

In fairness to Boomer (a phase I can’t believe I just typed) the allegation that Revis’ ex-agents are giving damaging anonymous quotes about him this season originates with Revis himself, who accused Schwartz and Feinsod of being the source(s) behind a prior report that he was out of shape:

It even had a cool, regionally appropriate backstory!

As a general rule of thumb, adjectives are minor league. “Rays” is so much better than “Devil Rays,” and “Ducks” infinitely preferable to “Mighty Ducks.” Trademark issues obviously stand in the way, but I can see a future where they drop the “Golden” and everyone is better off for it.

THEY CAN’T MAKE US PLAY. JUST SAY NO.

As a Jets fan, I welcome this news. Actually, could you see if they could flex it more? How about 2 a.m. on a Wednesday? Is it possible to flex a game to never? I vote for never. Put it on the other side of Trump’s stupid wall.

I have no stake in this game whatsoever, but this YouTube Zapruder film somebody shot off their TV is giving me life.

I hope all three guys get extended time this season. Playing Petty at some point seems especially wise, since he’s under contract for next year at a cheap price. While I can’t defend the Hackenberg pick, I’m also of the opinion that redshirting him is essentially delaying the inevitable and could delay them pursuing…

God it would be hilarious if that’s the closest we ever get.

The charitable version: In a lot of ways, the Jets put him in a really hard situation to succeed. Going from the spread system he ran in college to the very different and complex system Marty Mornhinweg was running was no easy transition. Ideally, Geno would have sat for a while, but Rex Ryan stupidly played Mark…

There is currently raging within #JetsTwitter a truly depressing and heated debate between Fitz loyalists, who somehow believe the statistical worst quarterback in football so far this season is being scapegoated; Geno stans, who defend his two full seasons of futility as attributable entirely to a truly bad…
