J-E-T-S…. JUST END THE SEASON

The New York Jets may have seen their playoff chances fly away Sunday as they lost 24-22 against a mediocre Jaguars team.  Despite first half struggles, the Jets were in prime position to win the game in the final minutes, with their 2nd ranked defense on the field leading by 1.  There were plenty of early mistakes and missed chances, but all could have been forgiven.  Instead, Bart Scott, Kerry Rhodes and the rest of the obnoxious Jets defenders let their fan base down. 

“Embarrasing…just embarrasing” said Bart Scott after the game.

Embarrassing?  More like pathetic. 

Mayweather puts Money on Pacquiao…Wins Big

It's that Dirty Money!

Floyd Mayweather bet on Manny Pacquiao to win last nights bout and came out a winner. He’s pictured above with Diddy and Ray-J displaying the fruits of his labor. Mayweather who is expected to be Pacquiaos next challenger told reporters that he wanted to show Diddy his betting skills.

“You know, if this boxing shit doesn’t work out, I need something to fall back on. Diddy is the man and I figured this is one way to impress him besides dancing.”

In the words of Marv Albert: “Yesssss!!!!”

You Make me wanna....

Pacquiao Dismantles Cotto

One for the ages

It was 12 rounds of boxing last night at the MGM Grand, something Filipino fighter Manny Pacquiao isn’t familiar with after his previous two fights. The result however was the same, a victory securing the WBO welterweight belt for his seventh title in seven different weight classes. His combination of power and speed was too much for Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto who proved to be one of Pacquiao’s best challenges.

“I didn’t know from where the punches were coming,” a bloody Cotto said after last nights bout.

Islanders Fight Back, But Lose in Shoot-Out

Playing in their third game in four nights, the Islanders showed grit and toughness in erasing a 4-2 third period deficit, but ultimately fell to the Panthers in a shoot-out.  It was the Islanders NHL leading 11th overtime game, and they were able to earn a point in their third straight road game. 

It was another strong start for the Islanders, who have scored 11 first-period goals in the past four games.  Tim Jackman gave the Isles the lead with a birthday goal just 16 seconds into the game.  Panther’s goaltender Tomas Vokoun entered the game with three shutouts in his last four starts, but did not look good early.  Josh Bailey set up the Islanders second goal, connecting with Trent Hunter who roofed one to the corner of the net to give the Islanders a 2-0 lead.
