It is official, Mike Tannenbaum will no longer be the General Manager of the Jets. Word came out this morning at approximately 9:10 a.m. that the Jets fired Tannenbaum, and will retain Rex Ryan as Head Coach. No word if Tannenbaum will be reassigned, and the likelihood is that he will no longer be with the organization. Woody Johnson released a statement thanking Tannenbaum for his 15 years of service with the Jets. If Tannnenbaum is totally out of the organization -- it means that the Jets will bring in a brand new GM who will oversee a load of sweeping changes to the Jets front office and football personal. Ryan is now on very thin ice. He will have to win next season, and win very early or he too could be fired. Don't be shocked that if Gang Green gets off to a very sluggish start in 2013 that Ryan is one of the first coaching casualties of next season -- during the season. Tannenbaum's career was marred by horrible draft day selections, with players who never ...

With the 2012 regular season now in the books it is time to get ready for playoff football. The entire season has seen some incredible story lines from the triumpant return of Peyton Manning in Denver, to Adrian Peterson's incredible season in Minnesota. Of course rookies also dominated the headlines as Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson each brought their teams to the top of the NFL this season. The AFC playoff picture is virtually the same as last season, with the only exception being that Pittsburgh is not in the playoffs. There will be some familiar faces at the top of the conference with Manning and Tom Brady holding onto the top two seeds in the AFC, thanks in part to the collapse of the Houston Texans and the fantastic second half run by Denver and New England. With the Patriots and Broncos off until the divisional playoffs, the wild card playoff picture is as follows: Cincinnati (10-6) @ Houston (12-4) at 4:30 on Saturday January 5. Indianapolis (11-...

BILLS 28 JETS 9 There is something to celebrate this season Jets fans! The season is over!! The nightmare of a season that has been for the 2012 New York Jets came to fitting conclusion with Mark Sanchez once again playing the lead, and Rex Ryan, again ducking the media. Sanchez was inept in butt-fumble fashion, turning the ball over twice in the Jets season finale. The only reason New York moved the football into field goal range on its opening possession to take a 3-0 lead was because of 42 yards the Jets pounded out on the ground; Sanchez never completed a pass on the drive. When Sanchez finally did rear back to throw, he threw a hedious interception to Bryan Scott (no relation to Bart) who rumbled 20 yards for a touchdown to give the Bills a 7-3 lead. Every single time Sanchez and this offense touched the football, they couldn't do anything with it against a horrible Buffalo defense. All three of the Jets scoring drives died in Bills territory with Sanchez unable to ...

GIANTS 42 EAGLES 7  Needing to win their season finale to give themselves a shot at the playoffs the Giants had their best performance of season both offensively and defensively, as they smacked a Philadelphia Eagles' team that had mailed it in a long, long time ago, 42-7. However, it didn't mean a thing as the Chicago Bears defeated the Detroit Lions 26-24, silencing the Giants playoff hopes. The Giants dream of defending their Super Bowl title is dead. After two of the most dismal games in the Tom Coughlin era that put this team in a huge pickle, the Giants suddenly woke up from their second half swoon to send Andy Reid out rudely in his final game as Eagles coach. Right out of the gate the Giants offense showed the kind of poise and consistency that had been missing for a majority of the season. Perhaps offensive coordinator Kevin Gillbride realized that his job was on the line? Too bad he and this group couldn't play with the same urgency about a month ago! ...

Leave it up to classless and inept management to screw up what appeared to be a good thing in Brooklyn. It didn't take long for the sleek Brooklyn Nets to mirror their past selves, the New Jersey Nets, 28 games into a brand new arena and season, as a team on a mission for ineptitude. The Nets, who are co-owned by Russian billionaire, Mikhail Prokhorov and Rapper, Jay-Z have proven two things in their tenure as owners of the Nets. 1) They love publicity. 2) They don't know a damn about how to run a professional sports franchise. On Thursday the Nets kicked Avery Johnson to side weeks after he won Coach of the Month honors for the Nets sizzling 11-4 start. The Nets are 3-10 in the month of December putting them at 14-14. But, even Johnson admitted, and anyone with any knowledge of sports would admit, that the Nets had gone through a rough patch in the journey that is a 82-game season. With the talent they have, they would pull out of it, especially in the lackluster Eastern...

It didn't take long for the Brooklyn Nets to make a shocking move in their new digs in New York. Weeks after he was named coach of the month, the Nets decided to part ways with Avery Johnson after the team struggled during the month of December, posting a 3-10 record. In November the Nets got off to a sizzling start, 11-4, including beating their cross town rivals the New York Knicks in the first match-up between the two teams at the Barclays Center. The Nets, 14-14, put up a lackluster effort on Christmas day, losing to the Boston Celtics 93-76 to fall out of second place in the Atlantic Division. ESPN As of now, no interim coach has been named.

Well Jets fans, it didn't take long for Mark Sanchez to return as the Jets starting quarterback. According to multiple sources, the Jets will go back to Sanchez for the clubs' season finale in Buffalo on Sunday, after Rex Ryan discovered that Greg McElroy is suffering from symptoms of a concussion. The fact that McElroy has a concussion should not be surprising since the man was sacked 11 times last week against the Chargers. Sources also say that Rex Ryan was surprised that McElroy was suffering from a concussion:  " Ryan was unaware McElroy was dealing with any head issues until Thursday morning. The coach was clearly perturbed by McElroy's lack of honesty, saying the quarterback wouldn't play regardless of how tests came back. "I was stunned by it," Ryan said, via the New York Daily News . "I admire his courage and everything else, but you have to truthful.'" ( NFL.com ). This means that the Jets get to see "Buttfumble...
