Last week, the Jets warmed up for their road game against the Vikings by showing up on Sesame Street. Head Coach Eric Mangini has a son who loves the show. Chad Pennington, Laveranues Coles and, most interestlingly, Australian punter Ben Graham all shared the Queens sound stage with Elmo. The Jets make their only Monday Night Football appearance -- and will probably get higher ratings than the Seasame Street episode -- when they face the......

When Travis Taylor hauled in a 30-yard touchdown pass 2 minutes and 7 seconds into Sunday's game between the Jets and the Vikings, the New York sideline couldn't have been pleased. A week after being burned on big plays against the Bills, the Jets had blitzed, but the gamble hadn't paid off. The Vikings took advantage of single coverage and struck quickly at home. But that was the Jets' low point, and after the 26-13......

If the Jets didn't have to worry about this week's game, they could feel sorry for themselves and ask each other why they couldn't be fortunate enough to play in the NFC instead of the AFC. But the Jets play in the tougher of the two conferences, and mediocre teams don't make the playoffs in the AFC. After last week's disappointing -- and one-sided -- loss to Buffalo, the Jets look like just that, a......

With no time to celebrate last week's upset over the Patriots, the Jets took the field Sunday against the NFC's best and spun their wheels. Their defense held the Bears' offense in check, but an impotent offense and questionable coaching decisions cost the Jets a shot at defending their home turf. At 5-5, the Jets are once again at .500. Looking for good news? Their schedule only gets easier from here. After both teams......

- In what shouldn't be the most shocking news in the football world, the Jets have named Chad Pennington their starter for the regular season. Until he suffers another shoulder injury, that is. Head Coach Eric Mangini cited Pennington's progress this pre-season as well as his presence, ability and leadership. As the newly anointed starter, Pennington gets rewarded by sitting out the Jets' last pre-season game against the Eagles this Friday. - The news......

“This is a great day for the New York Knicks and our fans. Larry Brown is not just one of the best coaches in the NBA today, but in its history. He has made every team he has ever coached a winner, with a legendary approach to teaching and motivating his players. His value to us as a franchise at this time is immeasurable.” Those were the words of Isiah Thomas less than eleven months......

It's a shame that the college football season has come to an end, and worse still that the Orange Bowl was such a dud. Gothamist's final rankings of the 2004 season: 1. USC – Dominating performance by the Men of Troy. If this continues, we may not only be talking about a dynasty, but also ranking Pete Carroll as one of the best coaches in recent college football history. Carroll and offensive guru Norm Chow......

Curtis Martin is nowhere near an old man at age 31, but by football standards, many have been questioning how much gas he could possibly have left in his tank. Martin had one of the most impressive games in recent memory, rushing for 196 yards and a touchdown on 29 carries and adding a touchdown reception to lead the Jets to a season-opening 31-24 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in East Rutherford. Box Score. "I......

Much of the off-season talk among Jets fans, politicians and residents of the West Side of Manhattan has centered on one thing � the proposed $1.4 billion New York Sports and Convention Center. While Cablevision (the parent company of Madison Square Garden) has led a high-budget campaign for public opinion, while the team has recently started its counterstrike with legend Joe Namath extolling the potential of the project, of which the city would cover......
