As you all know, I live for sports. I’m not a fan of the greatest teams but they usually do pretty well and no matter how much I complain at my TV about them, I’m still a fan.
This month, however, has just not been fun. It’s felt like awhile since I’ve actually really enjoyed watching sports because of my teams losing and teams I dislike winning. Tonight I discovered the following results.
Since January 1, 2012…
So yeah, in terms of sports, it hasn’t been that happy of a new year. But things change, team’s get hot, so I’ll wait it out, as always, and keep watching, cheering and, most likely, complaining.
My new sports blog, take a look, follow us and send it to your friends!
After the Jets’ 19-17 loss today in Miami dropped them to 8-8 and ended their season without a playoff appearance for the first time since 2008, the one outstanding question in the mind of this and most likely all Jets fans minds is this: What now?
This is amazing.

There’s been a lot of scrutiny on New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez and some of it has been warranted as he’s struggled the past two weeks but remember that his statistics are better than they’ve ever been with 31 total touchdowns this year and 15 interceptions. In my opinion, the person most at fault is the man calling the plays: Brian Schottenheimer. Few quarterbacks could (and should) throw 59 times in a single game and Sanchez clearly is not one of them. You can see that when Shonn Greene and LT are running the ball effectively, Sanchez can utilize the play action and becomes an effective quarterback.
Schotty gave up on the running game unbelievably quick in Sunday’s all-but-season-killing loss to the Giants. Even down by 6 points with over 5 minutes remaining and the drive starting at the 50 yard line, Schottenheimer called 3 passes which led to these results: Incomplete, batted away and a sack. Blame Sanchez to an extent for not executing but it’s hard to perform with this kind of play calling.
Everyone sees what can happen when you get the right coaches involved, look in San Francisco with Alex Smith who is much older and seems to have lesser talent than Sanchez. For the New York fans and media clamoring for change, don’t worry, it’s coming, just not from the guy taking the snaps…
