- Here is a little something for you to look forward to this afternoon, when I know you will be looking for things other than work to do. Joe Caporoso and I will be dueling over whether the New York Jets or New York Giants are the better team right now. Check back for that, it should be a fun read. ↵
- One more reason for you to come back this afternoon. Jeff Freier will have his weekly look back at 'The Week That Was' in New York sports. Jeff's take is always a little, umm, twisted. ↵
- Interesting Big East Conference football matchup this weekend between Rutgers and Syracuse. The Orange can become bowl eligible with a victory. The game is also important because Syracuse is making a recruiting push in New York City, which has been Rutgers' turf the past few years. ↵
- The New York Giants are running out of offensive players for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Wide receiver Steve Smith, injured at practice Thursday, is the latest player to go down. ↵
- The New York Jets face Eric Mangini's Cleveland Browns Sunday. We have a game breakdown for you. ↵
- The 3-5 New York Knicks try to get back on track tonight when they travel to Minnesota to face the 2-7 Timberwolves. ↵
