A little after 5 p.m. yesterday we got word over the newswire of a "Secret Service involved MVA" on the BQE by 39th Street, where a US Secret Service vehicle was hit by a tractor trailer. Today the NY Post has more details, saying an off-duty Secret Service agent was cut off by an 18-wheeler, whose tires flattened the front of his vehicle and caused him "to spin around and slam into a concrete barricade." Another agent had been nearby, and pulled the truck over — but the driver wasn't charged. While the car was totaled, the agent declined medical attention and is reportedly unharmed. more ›

If it's the football off-season, it means it's contract negotiation time. But these days, some agents are airing their clients' details via Twitter. Take for instance Leon Washington, the Jets' running back—his agent Alvin Keels has been Tweeting "contract for my client Leon Washington. Let's get it!!!" and "I want to get my client Leon Washington back into the off-season program. Its a business however and that's what we will need 2 address." New Jets coach Rex Ryan is disappointed that Washington isn't attending the off-season voluntary workouts and said, "It's a voluntary camp. Things like this come up every year on every team. Leon is a great guy, and who knows where he's getting advice from?" And while Ryan wouldn't directly refer to Keels, he did add, "I don't know who's telling who anything... Would I like him to be here? Absolutely, no question... But he chose not to be here and that is unfortunate." Keels Tweeted on Wednesday, "Positive talk with the Jets today. Jets fans everything will be fine." more ›
