The Giants now face the daunting prospect of having to win their final two games and still possibly missing the playoffs. If Philadelphia wins this week over Dallas and Atlanta wins both of their remaining games, the Giants would miss the playoffs based on tiebreakers. Then again, the Giants could lose both games and make the playoffs too. None of that matters much for this Sunday when New York faces a Saints team that will......

- While he was at USC, Reggie Bush paid homage to his hometown by writing "619" on his eyeblack. Now those that live in New York City can show off their area code pride with "212" sneakers from Nike. We doubt the sneakers will be be quite as coveted as an actual 212 phone number (limitless availability and ugliness of sneaker). And while we're all for representing New York, what about 347, 646, and......

11:50AM-Welcome to the NFL Draft. We already know that Houston is taking Mario Williams with the first pick, so that leads to two questions. 1- Will the Jets move up and try to draft Reggie Bush? 2- Will Houston take the 15 minutes they are allowed to pick a player they have already signed? Stay tuned. 12:01PM- ESPN has some guy with a cheesy french accent talking about "zee players". This could be a long......

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......

New York is one of the few areas of the country that doesn’t care about college football. Maybe it’s because we don’t really have a local team to root for (Rutgers isn’t quite there yet) but we don’t pay a lot of attention to it. Tonight would be a good time to change that attitude as Texas plays USC in one of the best matchups in recent history. USC is going for a third......

The Jets can finally say that their season is mercifully over. The good news is that they ended it with a 30-26 win over the Buffalo Bills. The bad news is the win moved them to the 4th pick in the NFL Draft behind Houston, New Orleans/San Antonio/etc, and Tennessee. The Jets win was keyed by Justin Miller's 95-yard kickoff return late in the 4th quarter to take the lead. Ty Law, the lone Jets......

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......

Another week, another loss and, for the time being another pair of injured quarterbacks for the Jets (2-8), who were shut out 27-0 in Denver. Now it's just pathetic, and even the most diehard Jets fan will have to come to grips with that in the coming days and weeks ahead. After a concussion to starter Brooks Bollinger and an injury to Vinny Testaverde's ankle, Kliff Kingsbury entered the game. That Kingsbury may be in......
