TMZ spotted new Jets backup quarterback/meme generator/Carnegie Deli sandwich Tim Tebow getting a mani/pedi in Hollywood this week—they even snagged a picture of Tebow in the chair at MB Nails in West Hollywood. So it seems Tebow really does understand the way to coach Rex Ryan's heart—so don't be surprised if Tebow suddenly shows up to the team's first practice with a ridiculously ugly leg tattoo. more ›

The Tim Tebow trade hit yet another snag—though at least this time it won't warrant any intense prayer sessions. Because of a procedural issue, Tebow is required to sign a rewritten contract with the Denver Broncos on Friday and remain on Denver's salary cap until Saturday afternoon. This of course just gives him more time to plot his Jets ascendence: sources tell the Daily News that Tebow actually did push to come to NY over Jacksonville. And that's because he sees a clear path to resuming his career as a starter. more ›

Ultra-religious young quarterback/meme generator/metaphor Tim Tebow was supposed to have been traded from the Denver Broncos to the Jets yesterday around noon—but the lord giveth and the lord taketh, and due to "contract language," the trade was in jeopardy for much of the day. Repentant New Yorkers who initially balked the trade were left in limbo, forced to consider whether they really want Tebow—an undoubtedly polarizing figure who would change the entire makeup of the Jets offense, and possibly, culture—to come or not. All that's in the past now, because a deal was hammered out last night: Tebow is coming to NYC. But we're not sure if the Jets really are ready for Tebowmania: “We understand the popularity of any backup QB and this one is more unique than others,” GM Mike Tannenbaum said very understatedly. more ›

We all realized a long time ago that it's very very hard being a Jets fan, but it seems the Jets players are only just realizing that fact now: after weeks of total disarray, highlighted by locker room bickering and woeful losses, the Jets have parted ways with embattled offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. That might not be enough to satisfy disgruntled players, who have started to badmouth QB Mark Sanchez and publicly plead for future Hall of Fame QB Peyton Manning to come to NYC. Wait...does that mean we could corner the market on all the Manning Face in the world? more ›

As the Jets worry about beating the Dolphins, think about this: What is the team's best win this season? Regardless of what happens in Miami on today—when they need a win and help to make the playoffs—the Jets will only have one victory against a team that will finish the season with a winning record. That came at home against Dallas in Week 1. The Jets lost to the Patriots twice, the Giants, the Raiders, the Broncos and the Ravens. Do they even belong in the playoffs? more ›

The woefully underperforming Jets and Giants have spent all week trash talking each other in anticipation of their Christmas Eve battle of mediocrity. We expect it to go the way Harry Caul put it in The Conversation: "One side’s just losing faster than the other.” But the Jets aren't just a football team anymore—they wipe each others boogers, they go to Broadway shows, and now, they star in Pepsi Max commercials together. more ›

Last night the New England Patriots handily defeated the New York Jets, but the action that has the NFL upset happened after the final play. While walking off the field Jets coach Rex Ryan was caught on video telling a fan to "shut the fuck up" when they called out, "Hey Rex, Belichick is better than you." And now the NFL is "looking into it." Ruh roh! more ›

Oof. Maybe Namath was right about Rex Ryan's Jets "believing that they're better than they are?" Yesterday the Jets were ripped apart by the Baltimore Ravens 34-17. It was not a pretty game for Gang Green, leaving the team 2-2 for the season with their first back-to-back double-digit losses in the Ryan era. Good thing we're facing the 3-1 Patriots next week? more ›

The Jets have many enemies—foot odor, Uggs Boots spokesmen, the anti-snacktime lobby, "Moral Fibrousness"—but none more yellow-bellied and pox-faced than Patriots coach Bill Belichick. Rex Ryan has called their grudge "personal," and Jets fans have even tried to sue the Patriots after Belichick was caught cheating several years ago. more ›

Last season, the Jets looked anemic for the first six quarters of their season before a second-half comeback against the Patriots got their year on track. In 2011, they played a lackluster opener against Dallas but accepted the Cowboys' donations in a Week 1 win. Their Week 2 test is a home game against the 1-0 Jaguars, who have won six of eight games all-time against the Jets. more ›

Last summer, the Jets were featured on the HBO show Hard Knocks, which followed the team for five weeks of training camp—and between Rex Ryan's epic, profanity-laden pep speech in episode one, cornerback Antonio Cromartie's forgetfulness, and all the other shenanigans, it was clear that this was the Jets' coming out party. But unfortunately, HBO announced that the Jets won't be on the show this summer...but left the possibility open for something in the future. more ›

It's been a long month filled with deep reflection for Rex Ryan since the Jets lost the AFC Championship game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's spent some quality time getting in touch with the people, riding on commuter trains and filming appearances on CSI:NY. But there's only one thing more effective at rousing the sleeping beast than pretty feet and beating those pesky Patriots: guaranteeing Super Bowl victories. "I believe this is the year that we're going to win the Super Bowl," Ryan says. "And the fact is I thought we'd win it the first two years, I guarantee we'll win it this year." more ›

What does Jets coach Rex Ryan do in the off season? Shoots guest stints on CSI:NY, apparently. Ryan, whose previous film work ranges from Hard Knocks to pretty feet, and Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum just shot a walk-on for the show in which they play themselves in a scene with actors Gary Sinise and Eddie Cahill. And from the looks of it they're having a grand old time (maybe they were just happy to be in warmer weather?). more ›

Amtrak Joe has some competition. Some sports stars are content with taking limos to the clubs and sippin' on Dom, but not our sexy Rexy! Twitter user Monkeyslap23 writes that he sat across from Rex Ryan on NJ Transit last night coming home from the Knicks game. He appears to be sleeping, most likely having tuckered himself out from hyping up the Jets all night long. more ›

Now that both the professionals and the couch coaches have had the night to let last night's Jets defeat sink in, the blame for the game seems to be falling on the whole team. Coach Rex Ryan said, "We played a good half. We just never played a good game," and Santonio Holmes admitted, "We've got to start out playing better football...We didn't play like Jets, like we were supposed to." However, that doesn't mean some people still can't be singled out. Fans and players are lashing out against offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's poor time and player management. When asked why he was on the bench early in the game, Holmes angrily told the Post, "Ask Coach Schottenheimer what was the reason behind that." more ›
