Why Charlie Sheen Got Away With Abusing Women -- but Galliano Didn't
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyNEW YORK -- For eight years as a major TV star and chief macho maniac, Charlie Sheen threatened, abused and scared women in his life, including two wives and numerous escorts, call girls and starlets. How did Sheen get away with it time and time again? Where was public opinion? Where were the female bloggers and columnists and the feminists groups who are usually ready to jump up and cry out against the smallest hint of sexism and abuse? Celebrity usually trumps all. Sports figures, movie stars, big financiers may get a pass and even forgiveness and adulation when most people might not. It's ...
Jets Deny Titans Permission to Interview Offensive Line Coach Bill Callahan
By John Oehser - AOL NewsThe Tennessee Titans were interested in pursuing New York Jets offensive line coach/assistant head coach Bill Callahan as their offensive coordinator. The Jets weren't interested in that happening. The Jets on Thursday denied the Titans' request to interview Callahan, John Clayton of ESPN reported sources as saying. Titans coach Mike Munchak had been targeting Callahan as a possible replacement for offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger, who was fired earlier this week. The Jets had the ability to block the move because Callahan is under contract. Clayton reported that Callahan is ...
Mark Sanchez's Purported Romance With 17-Year-Old the Latest New York Jets Tabloid Fodder
By David Knowles - AOL NewsIt's the team that keeps on giving. New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, 24, finds himself at the center of media attention today after a story ran on the website Deadspin detailing allegations of an affair Sanchez had with an unnamed 17-year-old New Jersey girl. According to Deadspin, Sanchez and the young woman met at a nightclub in New York, and the two went on to, as the story puts it, "hook up." While there was nothing illegal about Sanchez's alleged actions (17 is legal, according to age-of-consent laws in New Jersey and New York), the story, as well as the potential for further ...
Ben Roethlisberger Proves Once Again He's the Total Package at Quarterback
By Barry Barnes - AOL NewsHe's not the best looking, GQ magazine cover guy like Tom Brady nor is he the funny and clean cut face of the league like Peyton Manning. But Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is all-football player who gets it done, like a trusty ol' truck. The NFL prefers to have their champion look and perform like a Ferrari or a Porsche. But this is the NFL where plays and conditions break down, in relation to speed bumps, potholes and terrible road conditions can damage these high-price vehicles. What teams need in this league is a truck, whether a pickup or a powerful 4x4, that can perform in any ...
The Hardest of Knocks: Jets Fall Just Short of Super Bowl Again
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsPITTSBURGH -- Oh, you wanted to rip the Jets. Down 24-3 at the half in the AFC championship game, it was all lined up. All their talk, all their bluster, all their drunk driving and sexual harassment and tripping scandals and foot fetishes and the whole thing. You wanted to just hammer away, didn't you? But in the end, you couldn't. Not after they outscored the Steelers 16-0 in the second half and came within a couple of dumb goal-line play calls away from pulling off the impossible comeback and making the Super Bowl. In the end, the Jets left here losers, one game short of the Super Bowl for ...
Ben Roethlisberger Not Pretty, But He's Back in the Super Bowl Again
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsPITTSBURGH -- His is neither a feel-good story nor a look-good story. Ben Roethlisberger is as huggable as a porcupine, as graceful as a three-legged rhinoceros. He began this season on a four-game suspension for offseason behavior that was possibly criminal and certainly despicable, and because of which a large segment of the population will never see its way clear to cheering for him again. And even if you get past all of that, he's a tough watch. He leads the league in winces prompted, every play a high-wire improv act. He is in almost no way what you expect a star NFL quarterback to ...
Bart Scott: Old-School Linebacker, Trash-Talker, Hulkamaniac
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsFLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The Jets broke the huddle at the end of Thursday's practice with an emphatic two-word exclamation. "Can't Wait!" they bellowed together, in mocking tribute to the punctuation Bart Scott put on his instantly-famous postgame interview with ESPN's Sal Paolantonio on Sunday night in New England. It's been a guaranteed giggle-maker all week here as the Jets have been preparing to face the Steelers in the AFC championship game, and Scott knows it's not going to stop anytime soon. "Just something funny that happened, spur of the moment," Scott said. "I probably won't live it ...
Thursday-and-Long: Ben Roethlisberger's Been There, Done That in Playoffs
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsFLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- This thing the Jets are trying to pull off -- three straight road wins to get to the Super Bowl -- isn't new. The Pittsburgh Steelers, who just happen to be the last team standing in their way, did it just five years ago en route to their victory in Super Bowl XL. But if you buy what Ben Roethlisberger's selling, the Jets' road is much tougher and much more impressive than the one he and the Steelers took five years ago. "If they can go into Indianapolis and beat Peyton Manning, then go into New England and beat Tom Brady, I don't know how I have a chance," ...
Mark Sanchez King of NFL Playoff Road
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsFLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Three straight Mark Sanchez throws sailed high and well out of the reach of Jets receivers and a drive stalled in a critical playoff game against the Colts in Indianapolis. And while yes, it was a grumpy Sanchez who went to the sideline at the end of that drive, he didn't swear at anybody or throw or kick anything. He took off his helmet and began asking questions. "He came over looking for information," said Mark Brunell, the veteran backup quarterback the Jets brought in to tutor young Sanchez in this, his second season in the NFL. "He's always looking for information, ...
Mike Tomlin Sees Rex Ryan's Early Baltimore Defenses When He Looks at Jets
By Barry Barnes - AOL NewsPittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is a man of few words. However, there is little doubt he is the unquestioned leader and will have his Steelers prepared for the Jets on Sunday in the AFC Championship game for the right to go to the Super Bowl. Due to his familiarity with Jets head coach Rex Ryan and his defensive mind, this Jets' team reminds Tomlin of a team in the early 2000s that put fear into the hearts of many. "It's probably a little more similar to the early 2000s Baltimore teams than the Baltimore teams of late," said Tomlin when he compared Ryan's defensive units. "That early ...
