Will New York Jets Fly Over Colts In NFL Playoffs 2010?

Jets vs Colts shows no matter how much people claim that defense wins championships that deep down they “dig the long ball”. For the New York Jets to win the AFC Championship and beat the Indianapolis Colts in this NFL Playoffs 2010 matchup, they’re going to need Quarterback Mark Sanchez to go deep at least once - then they will make it to Super Bowl XLIV.

The New York Jets are not an enigma. They do not try to trick teams. They prefer to run the ball and have their defense control field position.

Jets vs Chargers – Even Money’s NFL PLAYOFFS 2010 PICKS

Jets vs Chargers on paper is the most lopsided matchup of this weekend’s NFL Playoffs Divisional Round games. The winner faces the Indianapolis Colts. The betting line has the New York Jets as a +8 underdog to the San Diego Chargers which is comparable to 2 of the other matchups. But, very few people think the Jets can pull out an outright win.

The New York Jets are not your cuddly, underdog Cinderella story. They are a team led by a boastful coach (Rex Ryan) who has handed his team its Super Bowl itinerary including the parade date.

Cardinals vs Saints meet Saturday in a NFC NFL Playoffs Divisional game that has the Arizona Cardinals as a 7 point underdog to the New Orleans Saints.

Gilbert Arenas Gun Statement and his NBA Future

Though I am mixed on the whole gun-toting issue, I think a fine of $50,000 and a 10-game suspension is the most Gilbert Arenas should face for bringing his gun into the locker room.

The Gilbert Arenas gun story has made its way around the sports water cooler for over two weeks and it just gets more confusing. Initially the story was that Arenas had unloaded guns stored in his locker. He said it was for safe-keeping, away from his young children.

The NBA Christmas Tradition of pitting top stars against each other, or featuring team rivalries got a major push last night.

Cashman, New York Yankees Trade Melky Cabrera, Will Not Re-Sign Hideki Matsui

The New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman does not seem to be giving enough credit to those who deserve it, for helping the Yankees win their 27^th World Series title. Cashman has decided not to re-sign Hikeki Matusi, and the Yankees most recent trade sends Melky Cabrera to the Atlanta Braves. For Cashman, it is basically out with the old, and in with the old.

In a move that reminds me of how Cashman dealt with Tino Martinez and Bernie Williams, the Yankees have allowed the Los Angeles Angels to sign Matsui, and with not much of a fight for his services.
