Beware if you're walking anywhere near Radio City Music Hall Saturday, because the streets are crowded with excited NFL fans awaiting the 2006 Draft. And the drama for tomorrow morning: The Houston Texans are not going to pick Heisman Trophy-winning running back Reggie Bush as the number 1 pick, opting to sign defensive end Mario Williams instead. It's all about the combine! Which has now set a frenzy for the number 2 selection slot......

We finally have a Bush election that cannot be questioned. USC’s star running back, Reggie Bush, won the Heisman Trophy Saturday night in a landslide over his teammate Matt Leinert and Texas quarterback Vince Young. Leinert won the trophy last season which means two Heisman winners will be playing for the same team for the first time ever when USC faces Texas in the Rose Bowl on January 4th. For New Yorkers the real question......

The sad Jets host the disappointing Raiders, Sunday at 1 p.m. in East Rutherford. With former Giants QB Kerry Collins struggling, Oakland looks to start the physical Marques Tuiasosopo, who hasn't even taken a snap in game action this season. On another football note, this is Heisman Trophy weekend, and while the award will be bestowed Saturday night on ESPN from the Nokia Theatre for the first time, tonight marks the annual tradition of the......

The Jets lost again Sunday, falling to 2-10 on the season as they fell 16-3 to the Patriots. It has gotten to the point (after this their seventh loss in a row) where they are receiving sympathy from their opponents while still standing on the playing field. So, why is the above photo here? Because it’s Reggie Bush, and if you don’t know him now, you may get to know him Sunday morning when he......

After an opener that went as bad as one could have imagined, the Jets returned to looking like a half-way decent NFL team yesterday, defeating visiting Miami 17-7 in East Rutherford. Thanks to a handful unforced errors on the Dolphins' part, a shaky start eventually yielded to a settled down performance by Chad Pennington and company, who are now receiving "Blue Collar Worker" metaphors and accolades, particularly after a late 90-yard scoring drive that provided......

After Friday afternoon's practice, coach Herman Edwards decided that Chad Pennington has sufficiently recovered from an injured shoulder to lead the Jets as they host the Houston Texans this Sunday (as the starter) (1 p.m., TV: WCBS 2, Radio: 770 WABC/1050 ESPN), just in time for a showdown with Pittsburgh next weekend. But let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Pennington's news is not too much a surprise, but it was left up......

JETS at San Diego Chargers, Sunday 4:15 p.m. ET, TV: CBS; RADIO: 1050 AM After a season that saw the team reach a new low after respected General Manager John Butler died of cancer, the San Diego Chargers used the first pick of the 2004 NFL Draft to select Eli Manning. Manning, who shares an agent (Tom Condon) with Chargers QB Drew Brees, the starter for most of last season, made it clear that he......

The Giants had to feel good about their 34-24 victory over Kansas City on Friday night. First and foremost the Giants won. Preseason football counts for very little and is not often pretty to watch, but this is a Giants team that lost its last 8 games to finish the 2003 season. For them, any kind of victory must feel pretty good. Of course the big news was the professional debut of Eli Manning, the......
