Tale of Two Rivalries: Jets-Pats Reality Show Trumps Ravens-Steelers
By Kevin Blackistone - AOL NewsWhen the bamboozlement began is not clear. Maybe it was at the turn of the century, when the Steelers were the last team to beat the Ravens, in a (insert air quote marks) thrilling 9-6 contest, as the Ravens bludgeoned their way to a Super Bowl title. Maybe it was 2004, when the Ravens pinned on the Steelers what became the Steelers' only loss in the regular season. Maybe it was when one-time Steelers' receiver Plaxico Burress and former Ravens' cornerback James Trapp fought on the field in 2002, or when a year later former loudmouth Steelers' linebacker Joey Porter tried to climb aboard ...

Q&A With Sentinels Coach Ted Cottrell
By Anthony Olivieri - AOL NewsHASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J. -- Ted Cottrell hasn't gotten off to a good start with the New York Sentinels, who have lost their first four games to start the UFL's inaugural campaign.Cottrell, though, is relishing the opportunity to be a head coach, a position that he had been passed over for numerous times despite his lengthy resume. He has been a defensive assistant in college, the USFL and the NFL since breaking in as a defensive line coach at Rutgers in 1973.Last Wednesday, Cottrell's club suffered a 41-10 defeat at the hands of the Las Vegas Locomotives. It was the second home game for the ...
Must Win? Nah, Jeff Fisher and the Titans Have Been Here Before
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsYou think being 0-2 scares Jeff Fisher? No chance. He's been 0-2 before. Heck, in 2006 his Tennessee Titans were 0-5 before finishing with a flurry that got them back to 8-8 and the fringes of the AFC playoff race. "That was one of my favorite teams," Fisher said on a conference call earlier this week. "I've never been around a better locker room than that 0-5 team, because they believed in themselves and what they were doing. The key is, you just sell that belief." That's what Fisher is selling this week, as his tough-luck Titans head to the Meadowlands to face the fast-starting, ...
For Jets, Mark Sanchez May Be Just Young Enough
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsFLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- This is how Jets receiver Jerricho Cotchery knows his quarterback is an overgrown child. On the first play of the second half Sunday against the Patriots, Mark Sanchez hit Cotchery with a 45-yard pass down the right sideline. When Cotchery got up at the end of the play -- a 45-yard pass play, remember -- Sanchez was standing right there in front of him, screaming in Cotchery's face and whacking his helmet in celebration. And it's not the first time that's happened. "When you catch a long pass 30, 40 yards down the field, you're not used to seeing your quarterback right ...
David Carr's Words of Wisdom for Matt Stafford, Mark Sanchez
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- David Carr has been where Mark Sanchez and Matthew Stafford are -- sort of. He knows what it feels like to be a high draft pick with huge expectations who's named a starting quarterback in the NFL right out of college. A 16-game starter on the 2002 expansion Houston Texans, Carr got to experience first-hand what Sanchez and Stafford will start experiencing for real this weekend. And it's not that he's trying to scare anybody, but ..."If I had it to do all over again, I think I would have rather watched," Carr, now the Giants' backup QB, told FanHouse on Monday. "There ...
Jets to Name Rookie Mark Sanchez Starting Quarterback

A source said Ryan gave the news to the two candidates this morning, as first reported by Jay Glazer on FOXSports.com. Ryan's daily press conference is scheduled for 2 PM ET, after the Jets practice today in Florham Park, N.J., and he's likely to make his decision public at that time. Fantasy Football Coin Flip: Mark Sanchez vs. Matthew Stafford The Jets traded up to select Sanchez with the No. 5 overall pick in this past April's draft. The former USC ...
For Jets' Sanchez, 'One Heck of a Start'
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- That first throw didn't go quite as smoothly for Mark Sanchez as it may have looked. That the Jets' rookie quarterback electrified the small preseason crowd at Giants Stadium with a 48-yard strike to David Clowney on the first professional pass of his career was the story of the night, but as cool as he appeared, there was more going on than you may have realized if you were watching on TV. NFL Preseason: Orton Awful | Rosenfels Impressive | David the Goat Again When the play came in from the sidelines, for instance, Sanchez couldn't believe it. He'd watched Kellen ...
Calvin Pace, Another NFL Drug Cheat -- Where's the Outrage?
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsNot to pick on poor Calvin Pace, who claims today to be the latest NFL victim of those sneaky, nefarious over-the-counter supplements, but come on here, people. At what point is it fair to start calling out the NFL on the performance-enhancing drug issue? This guy's no superstar, but he's an important player on a New York team. The baseball equivalent would be somebody like Ryan Church on the Mets or Hideki Matsui on the Yankees. Imagine if one of those guys had been suspended today for steroids? Would ESPN even think about leading SportsCenter with anything else? More Coverage: Pace Suspended ...
