A day after the NY Post served up a Thanksgiving day front page cover of Knicks president and coach Isiah Thomas as a turkey, the embattled Thomas proclaimed he would stay in his job, saying, "I don't foresee there being any changes this year." Which the Post calls "LOAD OF BULL?" But really, if there's one thing that the Post and Daily News must have been thankful for, it's having such a spectacularly poorly managed......

There's so much going on across the Ist-a-Verse that it's almost impossible to keep track these days. Fortunately, we do it so you don't have to! Londonist took a walk through Oliver Twist's London, thanks to a gorgeous map layer for Google Earth. They also caught up with modern-day fictional London, with the Fantastic Four and 28 Weeks Later. It was a week of insanity over at DCist. They started the week off with......

- Rangers 3 San Jose 1: New York completed a successful west coast swing with their second win in as many nights. Kevin Weekes looked stellar between the pipes, stopping 29 of 30 shots and Matt Cullen, Martin Straka and Brendan Shanahan scored. With Weekes playing well in consecutive games, the question is, who will start in goal on Sunday? - Derek Jeter wins another gold glove: Jeter is many things, but a great......

This afternoon, the Yankees will face the Detroit Tigers and the possible end of their season. Last night, the Tigers shut out the Yankees 6-0, putting them down 2-1 in the series, and a loss today would have the Yankees cleaning out their lockers. And who knew that Kenny Rogers would pitch a gem for the Tigers? Most people predicted that Rogers would get shelled, given that he pitched for both the Yankees and Mets......

A lack of timely hitting and a devastating Detroit bullpen combined to defeat the Yankees 4-3 on Thursday. New York had plenty of opportunities against Justin Verlander, pounding seven hits and drawing four walks over the first five-plus innings, but apart from Johnny Damon’s three-run homer, they could not deliver the big blow. After Verlander ran the count to 1-1 against Robinson Cano in the sixth, Jim Leyland pulled him and brought in Jamie Walker......

The only time of year that matters in the Bronx has arrived. While they won’t admit it publicly, the Yankees have to be thrilled by the makeup of these playoffs. Sitting at home are the perennially tough Angels, the gritty White Sox and the always-dangerous Red Sox. In their place are the Tigers, Twins and A’s, not cupcakes, but not on the same level. New York will face a Tigers team that simply collapsed......

There's a whole wide world out there, and here's the proof: DCist revels in The University of Maryland's basketball triumphs, marvels at Metro's security strategy, and applauds DC local Katie Couric's new gig. Phillyist is all about the Philadelphia Film Festival.  OK, not all about -- they still have time for loitering, underage sex, and random wacky news. LAist would have to send a camera around the world to get shots as bizarre as Katie's big......
