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 Dolphins in Miami on Christmas Day. more ›

Well, stick a fork in Monday Night Football, because just about the only thing you might recognize next season is the theme song and maybe Hank Williams, Jr. Only a few short days after Al Michaels called Superbowl XL, ABC and Michaels have parted ways. Michaels has been with Monday Night Football on ABC since 1986 and was reportedly reluctant to move to ESPN's MNF coverage after most of the MNF team decided to move to NBC's Sunday night coverage. It is expected that NBC Michaels will soon announce that he is joining their coverage. more ›

So, you will see the Saints logo in the end zones and the Giants wearing their road uniforms while playing at Giants Stadium in a game that will start at 7:30pm on a Monday. For local fans used to being unable to attend games, tickets are still available. more ›

Everyone who follows the Yankees could see that a shakeup was coming. The team looked lifeless for most of the season and Bernie Williams could simply not throw the baseball anymore, but this is a bigger shakeup than anyone foresaw. Moving Womack to left is a huge gamble, as he has never played there. Matsui in center should be an improvement, but his arm is nothing to write home about. Getting rid of Karsay is a case of addition by subtraction, but the Yankees still have too many relievers.
