Mark Sanchez is super happy Tim Tebow is breathing down his neck his new best buddy backup QB, and he wants the whole world to know it. “He’s been as advertised, as good of a guy, if not better, than anybody said,” Sanchez told the Post. “So, he’s been a great addition so far. I’m thrilled to work with him.” more ›

Apparently grief runs its course after 10 years: The traditional reading of the names on the anniversary of 9/11 might see some changes after this year. Mayor Bloomberg announced on his radio show yesterday that after this year's ceremony, the 9/11 Memorial Foundation (which he heads) intends to discuss with 9/11 survivors, families and first responders the prospect of discontinuing the reading of every victim's name on future anniversaries. This comes on the heels of news that the Tribute in Light will be going dark after this year if there are not enough donations to support it, as well as news of the first time someone has ever tried to use the ceremony for political gain. more ›

We jest about the Mets because we care...but man, that ball club is messed up on every level right now. And no matter what they do, they really can't get any respect. Team attendance over its first six home dates is averaging 30,738, down 9.5 percent compared to last year. So this week, the team sent out an email to fans to come to the park...inadvertently encouraging students to "play hooky" to attend a ball game, which obviously didn't go over so well with parents: "The Mets have acknowledged that using the word "hooky" was a mistake and they did not intend to encourage students to skip school. We understand that this was a miscommunication and I am sure that the Mets will continue to be great community partners who encourage education," said NYC Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez. more ›

In this week's New Yorker, the Department of Investigation (D.O.I.), the city's "secret police," gets the patented sprawling New Yorker treatment. And it turns out that secret police, like Rodney Dangerfield, have a hard time getting any respect. more ›

One West Coast baby blog has had it up to here with the lack of respect Grover is getting on Sesame Street, asking "has anybody gotten screwed over" more than the lovable blue guy? The one time Big Muppet on Campus has been overshadowed by that fame whore Elmo. They claim the red muppet, who has less of a pot belly and a dumbed down version of Grover's schtick, has become what Al Roker is to Willard Scott. It's also noted that the other Sesame Street elders, like Big Bird, get more respect, with "classy elder statesman" roles. What's next, will Super Grover be taken out of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? more ›
