Jets playing a big game, to the point on anthems & Big Blue roster . . .
When would there ever be a better time for the Jets to get a game off the
And if not get the game, give the Patriots a good game.
Just do that on Sunday afternoon.
The Jets’ 3-2 record might not be a work of fine art.
The best win is against the Jacksonsville Jaguars.
But if we’re talking about how the Yankees have surprised us this season, what would be a bigger surprise in sports around here than the Jets getting to 4-2?
If everything happening to the Giants, on and off the field, just this season, happened to the Mets it would be covered like the apocalypse. Or “Armageddon.” Some kind of disaster movie, anyway.
Since now says he’s going to bench players who don’t stand for the national anthem, don’t you kind of want to see what would happen if or took a knee? I am going to point out again, just for the fun of it and after having the Elias Sports Bureau check this out for me the other day – they know everything at Elias! – that no team has ever beaten the Red Sox and the Yankees in the same baseball October.
Finally saw “Battle of the Sexes” the other day, and not only did I like it a lot, it made me remember, all over again, what an amazing moment vs. was in 1973.
And what an amazing American life Billie Jean King continues to lead. If you are going to listen to anybody on anthem protests at NFL games, listen to of the Seattle Seahawks. This is what he said to

“This has never been about disrespecting the flag. This has always been about trying to better society, and we hope we can work with the NFL to help do that. I think it’s up to us to speak up for those who don’t have voices to speak. Working to help those who need help, working to try to make society better, is both patriotic and honorable.” That’s it, and that’s all. My 93-year-old dad fought for his country during World War II, thirtyone missions, I’m looking at the list of those missions over the writing table where I’m writing this column.
Pop told me this the other day: “We fought for all of it.”
And all of it in America includes dissent.
Which happens to be as American as the flag in which these football patriots now wrap themselves.

I hope and play in the season-ending event for men’s tennis in London, just because it may take that match to decide who the Player of the Year really is in their sport. For the last time: This Giants roster didn’t assemble itself. Guys like didn’t draft themselves.
is the best player in pro football, whether he ever wins another Super Bowl or not.
If there is a whole wall of television sets, and they’ve got all the games going on in the NFL at a given moment, you’re going to watch the game Rodgers is playing.
And who watching Packers vs. Cowboys last Sunday didn’t think the same thing after the Cowboys went ahead, that one minute left on the clock for No. 12 was waaaay too much? Now, after all this time,
says he only juiced himself up at Biogenesis for his team.
To the end, his defense of himself is softer than soft ice cream.
To the end, you wouldn’t believe this guy, on this subject, if he told you water was wet.
