Boy, you can’t have more fun than the Giants have had this season with defensive backs, can you? Welcome to the rest of

Jets career, whatever that career is actually going to be with the Jets. I don’t know if is going to win out. The first of his 3-game shot with the Packers begins today, against the Panthers, on the road. Then come the Vikings. But if Rodgers — who you have to say has always had a flair for the dramatic — does get the Packers to 10-6, I believe 10-6 gets them into the tournament.

Oh, baby, they just announced another season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” There is one immutable fact of baseball life in the big, bad city: Every time the Yankees make the kind of deal they did for you get the idea that the rest of the American League isn’t even going to want to play the season. It was that way when they got

it’s that way now. But every time you read or hear about how order has been restored to the Evil Empire sports universe with the Yankees, you think it’s still the ’50s and ’60s.

The Yankees absolutely have won five World Series since 1996.

It’s as many NBA titles as the Spurs have won in roughly the same era, and the same number of Super Bowls the Patriots have won in this century. By the way? The Red Sox have won three World Series since ’04.

The San Francisco Giants three since 2010. Maybe it’s time for the football Giants to think about going outside the organizati­on for their new general manager the way they did with when the modern history of the team changed forever. No quick fix then, no quick fix now. What has so often seemed like a rather dreary NFL season has a chance to get a whole lot better over the last three games of the regular season.

If it doesn’t, I say we just go ahead and blame it on anthem protests, anyway. Speaking of dreary seasons: It’s amazing how and by bringing their rivalry back in such a big way, provided such amazing cover for the rest of the sport. In case you missed it, one of

judicial nominees for the U.S. District Court appointmen­t was asked a question at his confirmati­on hearing the other day about a “motion in limine,” which basically involves rules about evidence. The guy,

then made kids at the National Spelling Bee look more prepared when he not only couldn’t answer the question, but then said, “My experience is not in litigation.”

There’s your tax dollars at work right there.

You get the idea that they find some of these guys in the judicial version of “The Voice.”

When was asked to leave the White House the other day, she probably tried to buy herself some time by asking if they could wait until the next commercial break. It will be some kind of footnote in a few weeks, but the there was a great big chunk of the current NFL season when the Jets were really fun to watch, at least before the fourth quarter.

The season in the NFC was altered the moment Rodgers got hurt against the Vikings.

Then who started the year as a backup quarterbac­k with the Vikings, became such a huge story of the same NFC season. Just not any bigger than

who had made such a powerful MVP case for himself until his knee exploded last Sunday against the Rams.

And around all this drama with quarterbac­ks, the MVP will end up being a 40-year-old quarterbac­k: Touchdown We are reminded, week after week, game after game, how important the position is, and how fragile it is.

And was so worried about all that that he traded away Brady’s backup in the middle of this season.

keeps saying it’s all about the kids. And then you saw him at the Garden the other night, seated in the front row, and it was the old man who looked happier than a kid on Christmas morning.

Now LaVar’s genius has taken the careers of his two youngest sons to Lithuania.

If that doesn’t work out, the two of them are next going to look for a game on the moon.
