JETS 31 DOLPHINS 23 As Jimmy Johnson once said to his Dallas Cowboys during the 1993 season. "If you talk the talk, you better walk the walk." And right now, the Jets are walking the walk , after an impressive 31-23 victory over the hated Miami Dolphins in Miami Florida last night. Defensively the Jets struggled without Darrelle Revis, as Chad Henne ripped up the Jets secondary for 363 yards through the air, but it didn't matter, because the Jets offense was spectacular. Mark Sanchez grew up last week against the Patriots; and against the Dolphins, Sanchez looked more like a 30-year old veteran, rather than a 23-year old kid. He played with a kind of poise and zest that we haven't seen from him in the year plus he's been in the league. He held his head high, played big, and was more self confident than he has been in a long time. On the opening drive Sanchez was sharp, completing passes of 16 and 11 yards to Dustin Keller and Brad Smith. Then he completed a 24 ya...

TITANS 29 GIANTS 10 The Giants put together a disgraceful performance against the Tennessee Titans, Sunday that will make people wonder this upcoming week whether the wheels are starting to come off the bus for coach Tom Coughlin. From the start things looked bleak for the Giants when Eli Manning's pass to Hakeem Nicks was deflected into the hands of Titans Sammy Marks. The Titans drove the ball down field and settled for a field goal, but the tone was set. Later in the first quarter, after Manning hit tight end Kevin Boss on a 54 yard slant, Manning was picked off in the endzone by Justin McCourty killing the Giants momentum. The entire afternoon was full of misakes and stupid penalties. The Giants were called for a handful of personal fouls, including a chop block by Ahmad Bradshaw that gave the Titans a safety and a 12-10 lead, as well as a 15-yard penalty on David Diehl for ripping off the helmet of Courtland Finnegan, after the Giants fumbled the ball back to Tennessee. Leadi...

Now Joe Torre says he never said he was curious about the Mets managerial job, even though millions of people heard differently when he was interviewed by WFAN. Torre tried to back track after current Mets manager Jerry Manuel lashed out questioning Torre's i ntegrity about inquiring about his job. "I apologize," Torre told reporters before the Dodgers played the Padres last night in Los Angeles. "He is right that I shouldn't have said that, and I don't think I did. Somebody asked me if I would take a call from [Mets owner] Fred Wilpon. I have known Fred Wilpon forever. I won't be managing the Mets, I thought I made that clear." That somebody was Mike Francesa , and Torre did indeed say he was interested in the Mets job - but lets pretend like Torre does that he never said that. This is how these things work. Met fan shouldn't get too upset in believing that Torre isn't interested. He is only saying that to protect himself legally. Until prov...

On Tuesday, Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards was arrested and charged with DWI after his blood alcohol level of .16 which is double the limit in New York City. In case you're wondering .16 means that Edwards was smashed. He is lucky that he didn't kill anyone, especially since his old friend from the Cleveland Browns Dante Stallworth killed a man two years ago while drunk driving. So what kind of penalty did the Jets enforce? A slap on the wrist. Edwards will not start in Miami on Sunday, but he will play this weekend. Meaning he will miss the first play of the game, then he can go back in. According to the New York Post , Edwards was not alone when he was arrested. With him in the car was D'Brickshaw Ferguson and Vernon Gholston. Ferguson and Gholston were not charged, but nobody knows how drunk they were -- they would have to be to get into a car with a guy who is totally wasted. The Jets shouldn't have to wait for the NFL to come down on Edwards, they can discipli...

Soon-to-be former Dodgers manager Joe Torre , who announced this weekend that he will not return to LA in 2011, and is considering retirement, giving his bench coach Don Mattingly the managerial job in LA, will join Mattingly at Yankee Stadium tonight for the unveiling of George Steinbrenner's monument in Monument Park. This marks the first time that either Torre or Mattingly return to the Bronx since they left for LA after the 2007 season. Mattingly returning is not a big story, since he is beloved in the Yankee organization, but Torre's return is a huge story. Torre left on bad terms in the Bronx. His book chronically his Yankee years threw people in the Yankee front office, including GM Brian Cashman, under the bus. Torre and Cashman have watched their friendship deteriorate the last three years, and Torre was neither invited, nor mentioned in the Yankees good-bye presentation to the old Yankee Stadium two years ago. Earlier this summer, when the Yankees visited LA, only Der...

Last night during the Colts domination of the Giants, running back Brandon Jacobs thought it was a good idea to throw his football helmet into the stands. We never saw the incident, but we saw security trying to rip the helmet from a group of Colts fans, who would not let go of the helmet, as if it was a foul ball. The incident occurred, because Jacobs was angry that he was pulled from the game by Tom Coughlin after failing to get a first down. Jacobs then got into a screaming match with Colts fans after he chucked his helmet at them. SHUTDOWN CORNER BLOG ! The Daily News has reported that Jacobs issued an apology, but that won't be enough. He is to meet with Giants staff today, and could demand a trade ! Jacobs is unhappy with the G-Men for reducing his role to back-up running back for the equally placid Ahmad Bradshaw. Jacobs had a terrible season last year, running for only 835 yards. This year he still looks very slow and can barely get around tacklers like he did early in his ...

COLTS 38 GIANTS 14 Big brother 2, Little brother 0. Peyton Manning and the Colts dismantled a suspect Giants defense en route to a 38-14 victory over his brother Eli. Peyton was sharp completing 20-of-26 for 255 yards and three touchdowns. The Colts put the Giants away early, as Donald Brown scored on a seven yard run on the opening drive to give Indy a 7-0 lead. In the second quarter, Peyton took cont rol, completing a 50 yard bomb to Dallas Clark for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead. After an Adam Vinateri field goal, Manning hit Austin Collie from three yards out for a 24-0 lead. The Giants couldn't do anything. They couldn't run the ball, and couldn't throw the ball well either. Eli struggled against the blitz happy Colts, getting sacked four times from the likes of Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney. The Giants have a lot of issues. They have no running game. Ahmad Bradshaw has not stepped up into the role as the starter, and Brandon Jacobs has become a malcontent. Their pas...
