There's nothing more special in the world to Eli Manning then spending quality time with the family. After all, he is as wholesome as apple pie or Honey Bunches of Oats cereal - which happens the be the same nickname his wife Abby calls him! Too bad he and the Giants will be in Denver on Thanksgiving battling the Broncos in a match of early season heavy weights turned mid season flukes. A win would give them a respectable 7-4 record. Good Luck!

Get it? Because T-Rex's have short arms and such RAAR!

It's been 2 weeks since the Jets have ruined my Sunday afternoon and I must say that I am looking forward to it this week. My crappy fantasy teams being putrid really isn't enough to satisfy my sports-sadomasochist needs. However, it is also possible that this Jets team takes advantage of their home field and 2 weeks off to become a 5-4 team as opposed to a lowly, disappointing 4-5 team. Here are 5 Keys that can use to prevail over the North Florida Jaguars.

1) Make It 3 in a Row Sanchize Mark Sanchez may have enjoyed his 23rd birthday and manhandling some birds with his brother this past week. But if he wants to continue getting his ass kissed then he will have to do what he's done the last two games - Stay turnover free. After throwing 5 picks in a game against Buffalo, he's been calm and under control since. The fact that the Jaguars are last in the league in sacks with only 8 will help him keep the streak alive.
2)"We need to start scoring on defense" Actual quote by Rex Ryan this week and he couldn't be more right. The Jets are ranked 29th in Defensive TD's, 18th in sacks, and 27th in Interceptions. These numbers need to get better if the Jets are going to get better. Plain and simple.
3) Loops, Crashes and Stunts As stated with Key #2, the Jets defense needs to create and cause turnovers this week to win. However, you need these DB's and LB's to be in coverage so there is actually someone back there to pick off an errant throw. I know fat boy Kris Jenkins is out for the year, boo hoo feel sorry for us. Eff Dat. Ellis, Pouha and DeVito are talented and with some D line trickery they can put pressure on David Garrard and expose his susceptibility to be stripped or throw a pick.
4) 350+ Yards of Offense The Jaguars defense ranks towards the bottom of the pack in essentially every category. The one thing they do well is hand the ball off to their little engine that can, Maurice Jones Drew. MLD leads the NFL in TD's. The endzone is practically his humble abode. Let's keep him homeless on Sunday. In order to keep the ball away from him, the Jets need to stay on the field moving the chains and accumulating yardage. Thomas Jones and Shonn Greene should and will get a hefty amount of touches.
5) Back Up Chattering with Battering Bart The Jets constant chattering has given them a negative perception by non Jets football fans. That's fine by me but Bart Thomas has to make sure his "play" catches up with his "trash talk". His leadership and confidence has helped the Jets D from an intangible point of view but I need him to get some sacks and QB pressures and the fact that Jags rookie tackle Eben Britton has been struggling of late should prove to be an ample opportunity for the MadBacker.

The leaves are turning, the weather is getting colder, and baseball season is thankfully ending. Yes folks, hockey season is here again, which brings to mind the same question I ask myself every October – are the Rangers going to make the playoffs this season? I know there are a lot of games that need to be played before we even start thinking about the playoffs, but ultimately, that is the goal right?? Well, the real goal is to win the Stanley Cup, but let’s not get too ahead of ourselves when talking about the Rangers. To answer that question, I think a solid 50/50.

But, how could I start talking about the current Ranger roster and playoff aspirations without first discussing my favorite Ranger executive, the lovable Glen Sather. Like off-season clockwork, Sather has once again refaced the team with a spending spree and added a roster full of new players, the most notable being Marian Gaborik, Christopher Higgins, Donald Brashear, Matt Gilroy, Ales Kotalik, Artem Anisimov, and Vinny Prospal. Although I would rather admit that the Pittsburgh Penguins deserved to win the Stanley Cup last season than give Sather any credit, I do have to admit that I’m partially happy that he managed to dump the expensive duds he signed the past few seasons (yes GOMEZ, I’m talking about you) and actually signed one guy that can put the puck in the net (who knew a hockey team could win any games without scoring?). I say I’m only partially happy because it was his genius that brought them here to begin with.

I don’t usually use preseason as a true indicator of what how a team will play during the regular season, but I must say I wasn’t totally horrified when I watched them play those games. We all know what the concerns are with the Rangers (lack of offense, power play, centers, Wade Redden) so let’s focus on the positives. The pace of their play has definitely improved due to the system coach John Torterella uses and the additions of Gaborik, Gilory, and Anisimov, to name a few. They also seem to be quicker than last season and I didn’t find myself losing my voice by yelling “Shoot!!” as much when they had the puck. Gaborik, when actually healthy, is a proven goal scorer. For the Rangers to improve their offensive dramatically he needs to play…a lot. The rookie center man, Anisimov brings size and goal scoring skills which the Rangers desperately need. Higgins, although not the most gifted goal scorer, is hard-working and scrappy (similar to that of Callahan)….another aspect to their game they need.
