"That's what Boston is all about. It's not about one guy. It's about everybody. Whatever my job is going to be -- if I have to get into the game and kill somebody, I kill him." Darko Milicic With that statement KG has likely come up with a list of targets. Here's my best guess. 1) Ray Allen 2) Ray Allen 3) Ray Allen 4) Lebron 5) DWade 6) Lebron 7) DWade 8) Shane Battier 9) Lebron 10) Dwade Chris Bosh is not included because KG thinks he can take him by himself.

The above image is the Jets Drive Summary from this weekends game against San Francisco. I decided to peruse it on monday to make sure what I saw with my own eyes could be verified just as terribly on paper. The conclusion was yes, verified. The above drive chart shows you that the MOST successful drive the Jets had for the entire game was their first. This drive lasted all of 7 plays, gained a total of 30 yards, and ended in a punt. WOOOO! SUCCESS! After a drive like that, one could only expect the remainder of the possessions to pale in comparison. And they did just that. From the conclusion of that possession no Jets drive would contain the following combination 1) Garner at least 1 first down & 2) Punt. Of the 11 remaining possessions, only 4 included the Jets gaining a 1st down. Each of these 4 possessions ended in a turnover. So if you're adding it up at home, after the first and most successful possession, the Jets followed that up with 4 turnovers and 7 th

This is what I thought of while watching the end of the Seahawks game last night.  Was the decision to give the Seahawks a touchdown and the next fifteen minutes not amazing television? Seeing Pete Carrol interviewed before the game was technically over and him being told they need to kick the XP for which he replies "Get me any 11 guys", all while watching the Packers run off the field only to trot back on, pulling random helmets out of a bucket so they could "defend" a completely meaningless extra point.  For entertainment purposes that was on another level.  As the saying goes, everybody watches a train wreck, and this train wreck is fantastic. Outside the fact that it was pretty clearly an interception, I don't understand why people are so up in arms with this result. Or the fact that the officiating botched the call in the first place. A) If you're not a Packers fan, a fan of a different NFC West team or a gambling man who lost $$$, wouldn't

I think it's very important that we count down the Boston Red Sox Magic Numbers for playoff elimination. This will be calculated periodically based on their distance between the AL East leader and the #2 Wild Card leader. 9/6: Current Red Sox Record 63-75 AL East Magic Number:  11 (New York Yankees 77-59) Wildcard #2 Magic Number:  12 (A's/Orioles 76-60)

The 2012 season starts in 29 hours and for some strange reason I have an abundance of optimism.  If you look at power rankings or predictions anywhere you will notice that almost universally the Jets are predicted to finish at or below .500.  Last year, the Jets were predicted to be one of the best teams in the league and even got a super bowl championship prediction or two. Oh the media, how you can powerfully spin the universes perception with coverage one way or the other. The 2011 New York Jets were a disappointment.  A team that angered me endlessly at the tail end of the season and a team that all but gave up in Week 17.  That team finished 8-8, which is now hilariously at roughly the peak of a media man's prediction. I've already made one post around why a Jets fan should look forward to this season but I think it deserves a more detailed one. Roster Composition Key Losses:   S Brodney Pool, OG Robert Turner, WR Plaxico Burress, RB LT, QB Mark Brunell, CB Marqu

Just in case you are a Jet fan and do not want to be debby downer. Here is something you can show people or say to people as a backing point to why you think the Jets (not the Jets offense mind you) will not suck. 1. Ryan Fitzpatrick 2. Ben Roethlischeesburger 3. Ryan Tannehill 4. Alex Smith 5. Matt Schaub 6. Andrew Luck 7. Tom Brady 8. Ryan Tannehill 9. Matt Flynn or Russell Wilson 10. Sam Bradford 11. Tom Brady 12. Kevin Kolb or John Skelton 13. Blaine Gabbert 14. Jake Locker 15. Philip Rivers 16. Ryan Fitzpatrick This is the list of Quarterbacks the Jets will face this season. They currently have at least 3 games against rookie QBs and 2 against Sophomores. Outside those 5, they face the NFC West which consists of Alex Smith, 1 decent year in his career, Sam Bradford who has like 6 wins in 3 years and two teams that have yet to decide who their starter is. The Jets play exactly 5 games this entire season against teams with QBs that you would say are good to

One can make the case that Bernard Pollard as an individual* has had the single largest impact on the Patriots not winning another Super Bowl.
