After another setback and disappointing loss, the Jets'
playoff hopes are almost as dim as the Nets' season. Before Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Rex Ryan said he was tired of excuses and wanted results.
That didn't happen again as the Jets lost, 24-22, at the Meadowlands. Gang Green has lost five of its last six games and has experienced a new breakdown in each loss -- this
time it was a fourth quarter defensive meltdown. They drop below .500 and it looks like this won't be the year Rex Ryan
will be bringing his team to the White House to meet President Obama.
However, the worst metro area team of the week goes to the Nets. They're a dismal squad. In fact, they still haven't won a game this season and are the worst team in the league at 0-10. New Jersey saw glimpses of a possible "W" Saturday night against Miami, but Dwayne Wade robbed that opportunity after he nailed a game-winning three at the buzzer. Not only can't they win, but they're also banged up as well. That's probably why this is their worst start in franchise history.
Honorable mention for sharing the title of worst area team goes to the Knicks, who are off to their worst 10 game start in team history. New York's team problems are obvious (aside from the fact that they don't have Lebron James). With turnovers and constant reshuffling of the roster, Mike D'Antoni often looks like he's in another world coaching this team on the sidelines, but don't blame him. He's only a coach who was given a team of grade "B" players to work with because apparently Donnie Walsh didn't feel there was a need for them to contend this season. What about the fans Donnie? You owe it to them.
Shaquille O'Neal owes his wife an explanation or two but the
couple has called it quits -- again. According to the theybf.com website, Shaq has been shacking up with Gilbert Arenas' fiancé, and the two have been exchanging naughty emails. This led to Shaq's wife, Shaunie, asking for a divorce last week. This is the second split for the two in their marriage. Needless to say, this is an NBA divorce so there was a prenuptial agreement involved.
Derek Jeter is spending his off-season acting. El Capitan
was seen in Coney Island filming a cameo in Will Farrell's new movie. The scenes were shot at Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs. He plays a homeless man in the film, who happens to be a washed up version of himself after his playing career
gets cut short.
Finally, Carrie Prejean doing what she does best again -- making herself look stupid. The Miss USA beauty pageant embarrassed herself on Larry King Live last week after King asked her why she settled with the pageant organization. She called King "inappropriate" and threatened to leave the set, only she sat there talking to the camera without a microphone on. She sure loves the camera and proof that comes from more sex tapes of her coming to the surface. Some people just never learn.
