Football fans that are hoping to catch history Saturday when the Patriots face the Giants are in luck. The game was originally scheduled to be broadcast on the NFL Network with local broadcast rights on New York's, nay, Secaucus's WWOR. The NFL has decided that New England's quest for the first undefeated regular-season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins will now be broadcast on CBS and NBC in addition to the NFL Network, WWOR and WCBV......

The Red Sox has permeated nearly every facet of Bostonist's lives. When they're not live-blogging the games, waxing poetic about the games, thanking Curt Schilling for his splendid work, or telling Dane Cook to watch his hair, they're watching certain presidential candidates hop on the Red Sox bandwagon (sorry, Gothamist). The Sox are so branded on the local brain that people are using the Series to spice up their sex lives. Speaking of spice, Bostonist......

The Giants are fortunate that Sunday’s game will be played in London. Fortunate because the venue should help them avoid taking the week off against a team that has nothing going for it. The Dolphins are winless and last week lost their best offensive player, Ronnie Brown, for the season. Brown’s injury came two weeks after the Dolphins lost their starting quarterback for the year and to make matters worse, one of their top......

Mike Nugent's field goal with 10 seconds remaining helped the Jets squeak by Miami, 13-10, during a rainy Christmas night in South Florida. The messy game looked like many others this season; it was defensive and sluggish. Who cares about style? With a win against Oakland on Sunday, the Jets will make the playoffs. Not too shabby for a team most thought would be dreadful. Chad Pennington wasn't dreadful, but he wasn't much better.......

Simply put, the Jets looked awful in their season-opening 27-7 loss in Kansas City on Sunday. How bad? The Daily News recounts: There were seven fumbles, three turnovers, six dropped passes, eight penalties and a blocked field-goal attempt in which rookie kicker Mike Nugent slipped on an imaginary banana peel. So bad, linebacker Jonathan Vilma has a fat, bloody lip – courtesy of a sideline altercation with teammate Justin Reed in the third quarter. So......

While techinally, the Jets' streak of hotness is only a week old, they are doing quite well this season at 6-1. After acing last Monday night's "test" with the Miami Dolphins, one can only assume that the Jets will aim to look better than they did a few weeks ago, against these same Bills. But that was long ago, when liberals weren't an endangered species. While Jets receiver Santana Moss is content to get wins......

It was a great sign for Jets fans, but (unlike the Redskins) it probably had absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the pending election - other than making several thousand New Yorkers stay up a bit late. Curtis Martin and Lamont Jordan each ran for 115 yards and a touchdown, as the Jets (6-1) put a 41-14 hurting on the visiting Miami Dolphins (1-7) last night in East Rutherford. It was a dominating performance from......

After their first loss of the season, the Jets face their first rebound challenge of the year on Monday night, as they host the Miami Dolphins. It's much more intriguing than most matchups between a 5-1 team and a 1-6 squad, particularly after Miami's offense came alive for the first time this season to outgun St. Louis 31-14 last week. Maybe that's why Jets coach Herm Edwards felt he needed to unleash a rare verbal......

Beloved fashion accessory becomes city evidence, as DNA taken from a suspect matches hair found in a do-rag left at a 2002 murder scene. Sixteen year-old DeJuan Brown apparently shot a correction officer and an innocent bystander outside a liquor store in Bedford-Stuyvesant, and left the gun and his do-rag at the scene. A less gritty version of this crime would make a great Encyclopedia Brown mystery: Bugs Meaney would have dropped his do-rag outside......
