The Jets are the Real Deal

Mark Sanchez and the NY Jets proved themselves yesterday to be a legit Superbowl contender. After escaping some weak teams in lucky overtime losses, the Jets came from behind yesterday to take down the strong Houston Texans. With less than a minute left in the game Sanchez marched down the field to score a beautiful touchdown with ten seconds left on the clock. The composure and passing game for Sanchez made me believe that the Jets may be for real.

With this win, it may be a good time for you to jump on the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets bandwagon. Not sure who to root for this season and waiting for a good winner to stand by? Go with the Jets. But to do so, you gotta learn the Jets celebratory dance in order to fit in, so here goes:

1. Put your arms straight out to your sides

2. Start running

3. Tilt your body from left to right as you run, mimicing a jet flying through the air (your arms are the wings)

Sanchez's New Girlfriend?

Since the rumor has started let's fuel it...

NY Post today reports that cutie Jets QB Mark Sanchez is chasing sports reporter Lindsay McCormick to be his new girlfriend. The two have known each other for a long time, but McCormick is based in Portland while Sanchez is in NY, so the two have seen little of each other as of late. Moreover, McCormick denies being anything more than friends with Sanchez.

Who knows what's really happening between these two, but lucky for you blondes, looks like Sanchez has moved on from the brunettes!

Highlights from HBO's "Hard Knocks"

The NY Jets may still have a lot to prove out on the field this season, but on camera, the team is a success. HBO Sports' show "Hard Knocks" premiered last night at the Jets training camp. This is the sixth season of the show, but the first to shine a spotlight on the Jets (a different team is chosen each season). The show chronicles the team during training camp and preseason to reveal the team's prospects for the season, but also the personalities that fuel its success or failure. Here are some highlights from last night's episode:

• Head coach, Rex Ryan, stole the show. This coach loves the f-bomb, eats everything in sight, and wears only high top black converse shoes. Yet, the players love him because he is tough and "talks like they do." Ryan wants to win, and is inspiring his players to make it happen.
• General Manager, Mike Tannenbaum, struggles with Darrelle Revis' holdout. (Revis is arguably the best defender in the league - he plays cornerback - and is refusing to report to camp unless his contract is renegotiated for more money.) Tannenbaum seems defeated by the negotiations, but the team stays positive saying that they do not need Revis to win. Uh, yeah right - Revis would bring the Jets' defense to a completely different level.
• Quarterback Mark Sanchez looked damn fine, as usual. Hopefully he will get some more airtime in the weeks to come. He also proved that he has great hands - odd that he is getting paid to throw the ball instead.
• Legend Joe Namath also shows up to give some pointers. He wins over the QB's, with his antics and reputation for having a good time, but it is really his daughter (who accompanied him) that must have won over most of the players. I am not sure who she thinks she is, but she showed up to an NFL training camp, where women are basically banned, in the shortest booty shorts. Guess she got her five minutes of fame. (She needed that after being arrested early this year for possession of marijuana with intent to sell and possession of liquor by a minor.)

Definitely put this show on your TiVo - HBO, Wednesday, 10 p.m. Your boys will be hooked and you will for sure get some good laughs.
