Darrelle Revis broods over his shredded wheat knee.

With all the hype around free agent Tim Tebow, it’s the Jets defense that should be getting all the attention.  Year after year, barring the occasional aberration, the New York Jets produce a quality defense, thanks to all-pro cornerback Darrelle Revis .  Now, the team is down one star defender; Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis will be out for the year after tearing his ACL.  Revis is currently signed to a 4 year, $46 million dollar contract that covers him until 2013; the Jets and coach Rex Ryan now have to decide if they want to put their faith in a 28-year-old’s ability to recover from a massive knee operation or if they want to cut ties with him now and spare themselves the cap hit.

“If the Jets won’t negotiate in good faith and pay him based on him being the most dominant defensive player in the game, then he would just become an unrestricted free agent,” said an unnamed NFL agent.  “It’s all about how much do you think your client is going to come back.  From everything I’ve heard about Revis, he’s a hard worker.  He’s that type of guy.  You’re taking a risk either way because if he comes back and is the Revis and you took the team’s (reduced) offer, then you did him a huge disservice.”

So yeah, it’s a tough choice.  I’m sure the Jets fanbase is tweeting their displeasure from the stands as we speak, assuming they’re not doubled over with tears.  I’m sure no matter what move they make, it will be the wrong one.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
