COHEN'S CORNER SPORTS

 The New York Jets are dead team walking for the remainder of the 2026 season, and one would imagine that Head Coach Aaron Glenn, with an overall record of 5-21 entering Week 10, is on thin ice.  Well, if listen to reports this week, and the Jets fairly inactive trade deadline moves, one would begin to think that perhaps the Jets coaching situation is much more complicated than initially thought.     Outside of trading safety Andrew Cisco to the Detroit Lions for a 2029 sixth-round pick, New York did literaly nothing else. There were trades to be made, and even an request from frustrated defensive end Will McDonald who wanted to get out of Dodge this week.  Instead the Jets kept McDonald, quarterback Geno Smith, and many other veterans who were supposedly on the trading block, the Jets held back, as reports say, because owner Woody Johnson wants to give Glenn every opportunity to finish the season out strong, and prove that he should be the coach beyond thi...

 At some point between Sunday's despicable 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, and when the season officially ends in mid-January with a trip up to Orchard Park, Jets owner Woody Johnson has got to make a decision.  His football team is floundering at 2-6; worse, even his franchise's depleting fan base is getting out numbered in home games as Vegas Raiders fans stormed the lower bowl of MetLife Stadium, and were so loud in the fourth quarter that the Raiders players were waving towels and cheering them on until Jets' tackle Olu Fasanu committed a false start. That was one of many downright putrid moments from Sunday's game where Gang Green blew leads of 23-14 and 30-21 only to watch the Raiders storm back to end their own four-game skid.  And this was a Raiders team that has one of the worst defenses in football. A Raiders team that the Jets ran roughshod on all afternoon to the tune of 439 yards of offense.  Braelon Allen enjoyed a career day, rushing for 147 yards...

 The final score read 28-25, but that was not indicative of what kind of game this was at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon.  The Miami Dolphins waltzed into the MetLife and punched the Jets right in the face, laughed, and the proceeded to step on them over and over and over again. The same Miami Dolphins team that came into the game winless at 0-5, having not scored a touchdown to open a game all season, and having played five games without ever having a lead, scored first, and never looked back.  And as the day wore on, the Jets committed self-inflicted wound after another. Geno Smith played scared; Offensive Coordinator Frank Reich again dipped into his bag of ultra-conservative tricks; Receiver Garret Wilson was targeted only three times and was seen either yelling at Smith or Passing Game Coordinator Seth Ryan, or maybe both; and, once again, head coach Aaron Glenn was completely and totally out-coached.  It was embarrassing.  On a beautiful sun-splashed ...

 A week ago Giants running back Cam Skattebo spent most of the time on the Giants bench, and didn't get a single touch of the football. When asked about it by the media, a testy Giants' Head Coach John Harbaugh said that the running back was never benched, and that the opportunities to get him the ball didn't come up.  When the media caught up with Skattebo later in the postgame, the star back said that he was being "punished" for his fumble that cost the Giants a chance at victory over the Washington Commanders, a game that ended in a 27-all tie.  Well, on Sunday afternoon against the Texans, Harbuagh dared his running back to prove something, and Skattebo rewarded his coach for such confidence with 124 yards on 17-carries, including a 42-yard scamper on second and one with 8:42 to go in overtime that set up Devin Singletary's walk-off 30-yard score to give the Giants a 27-21 victory.  That huge run wasn't the only one for Skat on Sunday. Earlier in the g...

 The New York Knicks celebrated the success of last season that culminated in the franchise's first NBA Championship in 53 years just 3-1/2 months ago when they took down the San Antonio Spurs in five games.  Players, coaches and staff received their championship rings before watching a blue Championship banner get raised to the rafters to join the 1970 and 1973 champions for all eternity. Fans, some of whom had to pay upwards of more than $1,900 just to secure a seat in the nosebleed section, witnessed something that many thought was not possible.  The ceremony itself was a thing of beauty. Knicks television play-by-play man Mike Breen, who called the Knicks NBA Finals series nationally for ABC MC'd the event, while Knicks and NBA Hall of Famer Walt Clyde Fraizer handed the rings to all the players. It was emotional, and gave the sold out crowd at MSG a collegial feel.    Then reality set in, and the Knicks, who for decades have always been the hunter, were now...

 This much is clear from the New York Jets 26-19 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday: there is a clear and obvious coaching discrepancy between the two teams.  In a game that wide receiver Garret Wilson rightly called a "big ass game" on Friday, the Jets shot themselves in the foot one too many times,  and when you do that a team as well coached  as the New England Patriots you are bound to lose.  Aaron Glenn is not Mike Vrabel. He's not as calculating and involved as Vrabel appears to be on the field, and even that was obvious on Sunday as well.  What really killed the Jets Sunday was three plays. Two of those plays involved Gang Green's inability to convert a simple fourth and one to move the sticks, keep a drive going, and perhaps put points on the board.  And that inability not only falls on Head Coach Aaron Glenn, it falls on Offensive Coordinator Frank Reich, who once again showed an inability to put together a creative game plan.  ...
