Red Flags
Posted on January 2, 2011 | 1 CommentThe New York Jets suffered a 38-34 loss to Chicago last Sunday, but the loss wasn’t enough to keep them out of the 2010 NFL Playoffs. The Jets look like they’ll be the #6 seed, unless they win, Baltimore wins, and Pittsburgh loses tomorrow, which... -
On the John: I’m bringing chicken back
Posted on December 31, 2010 | No CommentsChristmas 2010 will live in my mind for a few reasons, only one of them upsetting. First the good: It was my first proper Christmas, the first time I woke in a home on Christmas morning with Christmas presents beneath a tree – a Christmas... -
Vick scrutinized and a bias against Bagwell’s Hall of Fame candidacy
Posted on December 30, 2010 | No CommentsMaterial for articles is never-ending. There is always something to write about when it comes to the world of sports. Even on a quiet news day a player or team can be analyzed. That’s what makes sportswriting in particular great. On this day, three unrelated... -
Focus on the athlete, not who is behind the mask
Posted on December 27, 2010 | No CommentsProfessional athletes aren’t role models. With that said, I looked up to Ken Griffey Jr. and Chipper Jones as a child.

With a win this week against Chicago (or an Indianapolis or... -
Collapsapalooza
Posted on December 19, 2010 | No CommentsI was going to spend this column going off like a dental drill, but I decided against it in the end. The problem for me, and a lot of other long-time fans of the team, is that we’ve seen this movie many times before. Being... -
Scattered thoughts on the end of The Favre Streak
Posted on December 13, 2010 | 1 Comment“Listen,” I would tell the non-believer, “I don’t care if the bones inside Brett Favre’s right hand have been ground into a fine powder. If the skin is attached around the fingers, and the hand is attached to the wrist, he will play.” On other... -
Hearts and Minds
Posted on December 12, 2010 | No CommentsYikes. It’s not often that a 9-3 team has to spend the week before their Week 14 game trying to prove they’re legitimate. But, this is the position the New York Jets find themselves in after last week’s misery in Foxborough. Without rehashing the abomination,... -
On the John: No longer happy with ugly wins
Posted on December 7, 2010 | No CommentsIf, on February 6, 2011, Tom Brady is hoisting his fourth Super Bowl trophy after brutalizing our Chicago Bears on national television, I will look back at Week 13 of this 2010 NFL season and say, “Ah ha! Shoulda known.” And frankly, I don’t care... -
Where The Rubber Meets The Road
Posted on December 6, 2010 | No CommentsThe New York Jets face New England on Monday Night in the most-hyped regular season game the Jets have played in recent memory. Both ESPN and the NFL Network have been all over this matchup since Thanksgiving Night, devoting portions of each night’s coverage of...
