Sanchize needs Surgery

Jets fans are holding their breath, QB Sanchez needs Surgery on Left Knee

Millions of New York Jets fans held their breath on that faithful night in Toronto when Mark Sanchez hurt his right knee and was knocked out of a pivotal game on the NFL Network.

He would miss the rest of that game, and the following game. This caused much concern among the media and Jets nation as a whole. Sanchez did start to improve his play towards the end of the regular season and into the playoffs. One reason for this was his improved mobility, which seem to indicate that the pain in his right knee would not require off season knee surgery.

Well that seem to keep Jet Nation calm for a little while, until the announcement came. a couple days after the Jets were defeated in the AFC title game, and consequently their season ended. The announcement by Jets team Doctors was that Sanchez was having pain in both knees and that he would need to have both knees evaluated.

Let the Panic in Jet Nation begin after seeing renown Sports Surgeon Dr James Andrews, it was discovered that the problem was stemming from and older injury in Sanchez's right knee which he obtained while playing in his junior year at USC. Sanchez injured the knee initially during practice in his junior season, which caused to wear a brace on his knee ever since.
He re -aggravated the knee injury against the Carolina Panthers on November 29th. Sanchez right knee won't need any procedures, he will heal by rehabilitation.

The bad news is he will miss time for his first off season, mainly OT A's and Mini Camp. According to www.yahoosports.com Sanchez said " The goal is to get back in time for training camp and to be completely ready leading up to the Preseason. So Jets fans exhale and realize everything could be alot worse go J-E-T-S!

Miami misses out on chance to hit the Jack pot on Super Bowl

Miami Dolphins Fan's Root For the New York Jets Crazy? Maybe, Maybe Not

Sun Life Stadium in beautiful Miami Florida will be the sight of Superbowl XLIV where the New Orleans Saints will take on the Indianapolis Colts for the right to hoist the Lombardi trophy. When the ball is kicked off on Sunday afternoon South Florida will have made about 155 million dollars off of everything leading up to the game. This is not a small amount of money and

Floridians should be happy that the Superbowl is once again in their own backyard.
Although this may be true, it does not disguise that fact that the impact will not be as great as it was the last time the Superbowl was held in Miami in 2007 when the Indianapolis Colts were playing the Chicago Bears.

Now I know most of you are going to attribute this to the economy and how much the economic landscape has changed over the past few years. I agree with this view but pose a different reason why the impact isn't as great as it was in 2007. I believe that if the New York Jets would of made the Superbowl it would of been a greater impact to South Florida then the Indianapolis Colts.

I know what you are thinking Peyton Manning he is the biggest draw in the NFL, this is also true but Peyton and most logical fans know that the events leading up to the actual game are if not as important maybe more important than the game. Many Miami fans don't like New Yorkers and that's fair, we don't like Miami fans also. This is a fact, but we would of been in South FL for a week eating in your restaurants, shopping in your stores, going to your nightclubs and spending way more money than someone from the Midwest Such as Indianapolis, who is more inclined to just come for the game.

I also believe that there is no Underdog aspect to this Superbowl people love the story of the underdog. The New Orleans Saints are the feel good story of the year, after everything that happen with hurricane Katrina. The Jets would of been the underdog seeing as they needed everything to fall into place just to qualify for the playoffs. Then beat two division champions and had the Big Bad Colts on the ropes for the first half of the AFC title game.

The Jets would of been both the underdog and the villain, for trying to invade the Hated Dolphins home stadium and try to win their first Superbowl since the last time Joe Namath won after his famous guarantee. Ironically enough the Jets defeated the Colts in Miami FL to win their only Superbowl in franchise history. So as we sit down to watch the game with family and friends on Sunday remember that the Superbowl is important, but so is the week and events leading up to the actual game.

This year the Superbowl will hold significant amount of impact for Miami Dolphins fans, because according to the http://www.miamiherald.com/ the Dolphins are trying to get a proposal to use tax dollars to fund stadium improvements which could cost around $200 million dollars. Without these improvements it could be difficult to compete for future Super Bowls in Miami.

Jailhouse Vow From Plaxico, I will play Again

Bill Cowher's Candid Interview with PLaxico Burress Who Vows to Play Once Again in the NFL.

Plaxico Burress had it all a Super Bowl ring, after a great Touchdown to seal the win over the previously undefeated New England Patriots. He also received a brand new fat contract from the New York Giants. It was just 2 years ago today in Super Bowl XLII when Plaxico and the rest of the Giants stunned the world.

On November 29, 2008 Plaxico and fellow teammate Antonio Pierce visited a Night Club, not knowing that would change the direction of Plaxico's career and ultimately his life drastically. Burress carried a unlicensed .40 Caliber Glock pistol in his pants, which he claims was strictly for his protection. A few hours later he fumbled the gun and the gun discharged shooting him in the leg, which in turn ended his career with the New York Giants, and possibly ending his NFL career for good.

According to the http://www.nypost.com/ Burress sat down with an interview with CBS broadcaster Bill Cowher who is also a former coach of Burress to discuss whether or not Burress was staying in shape, and after a 2 year prison sentence would he be able to play in the NFL once again. Burress claims he is in shape, and vows to play again.

So I ask you sports fans does he deserve a second chance if he's in the right shape and still possesses the skills that made him a top WR in the NFL. I think we are a society who loves to give second chance and somebody will take a chance? It may have to be the Oakland Raiders, hey doesn't he already have a gun all he needs is an eye patch.

The Untouchable

Glen Sather is the Rangers Worst Nightmare and Has Been For the Last 10 Years

The Untouchables in sports are usually someone that had done something so great in their past that no matter what their current state is they are believed to get a free pass. I ask you New York Rangers fans what has Glen Sather ever done for our beloved Rangers.


Sather took over at the start of the 2000 season as Team President, it's 2010 people that's a decade of losing by this man who continues to make bad trades, and bad free agent signings.According to http://www.prinsider.com/ all the Rangers have to show for it as a few early playoff exits. Not to mention a host of expensive broken down players and a carousel of coaches. A wise man once said that "If I had the Rangers Payroll I would never lose" that man was current New York Rangers team president Glen Sather.

So I ask you why does this guy still have a job? When there are constant top 10 list's of the worst moves Sather has made all over the Internet, and one of the familiar chants at MSG has Become Fire Sather, why won't the Rangers listen to their fans chants. The Rangers fans need a new chant it should go something like this Untouchable!!!

Isiah Thomas gives Lebron James advice on free agent destination

Hello it's about that time again for another post and this one is going to be epic. I am currently and have been for about 20 years a loyal, die hard, suffering New York Knicks fan. Not since 1999 have the Knicks gone deep in the playoffs. Those were the days of Jeff Van Gundy, and Latrell Sprewell and the name that haunts every New York Knicks fan, Allan Houston. The Knicks haven't even reached the playoffs since the 1999-2000 season.

Then the steep decline began from 2000-2004 the Knicks were pathetic. That was all supposed to change in the beginning of the 2003-2004 which marks the arrival of the two men who were supposed to resurrect basketball in Madison Square Garden. The arrival of Isiah Thomas, as team president of the Knicks, and local Coney Island product Stephon Marbury. The fact that it is 2010 and the knicks haven't made the playoffs since 1999 should tell you all you need to know about that duo.

Which brings us Knicks fans to the moment we have been waiting for about 5 years now, the summer of 2010 is almost upon us. This summer will boast one of the best free agent classes in the history of the NBA which will include: Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire and Joe Johnson among others. There has been one name the Knicks brass and their fans have been obsessed with and that is Lebron James. King James has been deemed the #1 target to come to NY and save this once proud franchise. Lebron will need to be persuaded to leave his comfortable confines of his Cleveland home, for the bright lights of New York city.

The right people need to advise Lebron in his decision, Isiah Thomas is not one of those people. Isiah told WFAN in New York on Tuesday that he would tell Lebron to come to NY and would very happy if that happened. Now this probably will have no effect on Lebron's decision, but do we really want the man who coached a team called Team titanic I being at the forefront of our marketing plan. I think I speak for every Knicks fan and say this to Lebron Don't Judge us by our Past Look forward to a bright future filled with sell-outs every night in the most famous Arena in the world and the opportunity to bring the Knicks back to greatness.

New Jets/Giants Stadium is a Palace that Will Cost the City of New York a King's Ransom.

Hello This is my first blog of many to come and today I will be discussing the New York Jets and the arrival of their new stadium. Let me start off by saying how great it was to see the Jets make it to the AFC title game. With a young Defense, a rookie coach who doesn't back down from anyone, and a possible franchise Quarterback the future has not looked this bright for Gang Green in a very long time.

Which brings me to the upcoming season, more specifically where the Jets will call their new home. From looks of the new stadium, no expense was spared and it looks like a palace. Although I am hear to tell you that looks can be deceiving. According to http://www.gothamgazette.com/ this new stadium could present many financial problems for the city of New York.

In November a report was filed by the governor's office claiming that the cost of the new stadium will generate costs of $300 million. There also can be the possibility of interest on top of that figure, which would double the cost.
Not to mention the New York will lose two major streets, in order to provide entrances to the new stadium. Those streets are West 3oth and West 33rd on 11th and 12th Avenues, there are many stores on these streets that are being forced to close.

So I ask you when you are settling into your luxury box next year Jets fans will it be worth all the money and sacrifice or will you even think about it, or when the ball is kicked off for that first game will you just say Forget About It!!
