Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!There were no crashers at the glamorous state dinner that President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, hosted for President Felipe Calderón of Mexico and his wife, Margarita Zavala, on Wednesday night. Beyoncé sang and after a day focused on contentious immigration issues, the presidents toasted the close cross-border relationship. "Tonight we share the bonds we share as neighbors and as friends," Obama said. "We celebrate all that Mexican-Americans contribute to the United States." The dinner, the coming out for the new social secretary, Julianna Smoot, included 200 guests feasting on a ...
The FanHouse Podcast: Because bloggers are much sexier on the phone. In the 46th installment of the award-winning HausCast*, Will and Ryan talk about Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, Mark Sanchez's poise, and the recent comparisons to between his rookie season and the rookie season of JaMarcus Russell. The conversation turned to Peyton Manning taking dives in the pocket, Rex Ryan's corpulence, as well as spaghetti-strapped cheerleading uniforms, stab vests, and the merits of an all-white professional basketball league. Talking starts after the jump. * As determined by the National Association ...
Hate on the New York Jets and their fiery coach all you want, but give them credit: against a heavily favored Indianapolis Colts team, they held on as long as they could. But even with a great game from Mark Sanchez, Peyton Manning's outstanding performance -- 377 yards passing and three touchdowns -- was too much, and the Colts advanced to the Super Bowl, beating the Jets 30-17 in the AFC championship game Sunday. The Colts, who started the season 14-0 before losing to the Jets in Week 16, will make their second trip to Miami for a Super Bowl in four years. It will be Indianapolis' fourth ...
You may be tired of hearing about Mark Sanchez at this point in the NFL season. He's gotten a ton of publicity during his rookie season, starting with the bold trade that brought him to New York and running right through his GQ photo spread, the regular season and now an improbable playoff run. The image all of this coverage has formed is one of another celebrity athlete, playing games by day and squiring models to parties of debauched pleasure by night. Why, Sanchez probably eats only endangered animal meat while lighting cigars with $100 bills to a soundtrack of Jay-Z albums that are only ...
TORONTO -- So they go to all this trouble to bring in a very famous outside instructor to help you learn how to slide -- for your own protection, mind you. And the first chance you get to put the lessons into practice, what do you do? You dive head-first, hurt your knee and have to come out of the game. Mark Sanchez, you are in the doghouse. "He's got to understand that it's in the organization's best interest to slide," Jets coach Rex Ryan said of his rookie quarterback, who left Thursday night's 19-13 victory over the Bills with an injured right knee that's now bound for an MRI tube. "I love ...
Mark Sanchez caught a ton of grief recently when he decided to eat a hot dog on the sideline late in a blowout win over the Raiders. And I mean that -- people kind of freaked on the Jets quarterback, for no apparent reason other than the fact that the dude was hungry and pounded a dog.Fortunately for everyone's sake, Sanchez was poised (!) enough to offer an apology after the game. But he wasn't done there; on Wednesday, the Jets announced (via Twitter) that Sanchez was going to get his charitable grub on for a local food shelter.Mark Sanchez has purchased 500 hot dogs, 500 hamburgers, buns ...
Back in June, before we knew that Rex Ryan would fix what Eric Mangini broke or that the Dolphins would return to their pre-Tuna form, the long-distance gum-flapping between Ryan and Miami's Channing Crowder was just that. A summertime diversion between an unproven head coach and a chatty linebacker. Now, four months later, the AFC East division rivals will finally face off, and Ryan sounds like he has gained some perspective. Crowder, however, is a different story. "I think the thing with Channing Crowder, if I had to do one thing over, that would probably be it," Ryan said in a conference ...
Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez's NFL career couldn't have had a better start: New York, eight months removed from the evil clutches of Eric Mangini, began the season 3-0 and for the first time since those heady Chad Pennington days earlier this decade, the team had their franchise quarterback. Reality abruptly set in last Sunday against the Saints -- Sanchez was just 14 of 27 for 138 yards, no touchdowns, three interceptions and he was sacked four times. He set season lows in just about every statistical category but it was his first pick early in the second quarter that might have been ...
Bobby Hebert was born in Cut Off, Louisiana and he played for the Saints from 1985-1992. So it stands to reason that nearly 15 years after he retired from the NFL, Hebert would still have a soft spot for the team he once quarterbacked* conveniently located in the state in which he grew up. That might be underselling it a bit. Hebert was at the Superdome for the Saints-Jets game Sunday and he appeared to lose his mind when New Orleans recovered a Mark Sanchez fumble in the end zone to make the score 17-3. Hebert's Karate Kid impression after the jump. The Cajun Cannon, everyone! via ...
Sunday Evening Wrap checks out players who increased or decreased their value during the Sunday afternoon games. Faller of the Week: Everyone on the Oakland Raiders. The Houston Texans entered the game as one of the league's worst defenses. They were the worst in the NFL against the run. Sunday, the Raiders gained just 165 yards and only a single first down on the ground against those same Texans. I'm done with Darren McFadden. Michael Bush and Justin Fargas shouldn't be considered viable fantasy contributors in any format, and I'd even give up on Zach Miller (which isn't his fault, but he's ...
