Sanchez brings home NY Braggin' Rights.

It's official - the New York Jets have a starting quarterback. And apparently he plays in the NFL much better than some of us had previously thought. Mark Sanchez went 13 for 20, threw for 149 yards, and put 20 points on the board in just over 2 1/2 quarters tonight. The kid looks good, and earned the Jets, and new coach Rex Ryan, their first win of the year, beating the New York Giants 27-25.

I must say, if my baseball team can't take me through the fall, it looks like my football team just might.

Cheers to that!

2 years for shooting self?!

Former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress agreed to serve a two year prison sentence for shooting himself in the leg in a Manhattan nightclub. Possibly the night photographed above (photo courtesy of drunkathlete.com ...thanks!). Bookmark that ish. Seriously!

Anyway, Burress was facing up to 3 1/2 years after pleading guilty to criminal possession of a weapon, so I guess he got off relatively easy. He'll probably spend a year behind bars before escaping...I mean being released.... to try and reincarnate some form of career.

Hang tight, bro! Keep those cheeks tight!
