Fireman Ed Should Pour a Stiff Drink
Rex Ryan may be the king of the F-bombs, but he better use as many as he can during the regular season. The Jets won’t be making the playoffs.
The Jets used up all their luck last year. There are no playoff-bound cakewalk games at the end of this season’s schedule. Opposing kickers are all out [...]

 Serie A is in serious need of a makeover and Inter Milan may be able to help in more ways than one.

 With the Champions League clash against England’s Manchester United ahead, Milan’s manager, Leonardo, has a few tough choices to make.
Given that they lost 3-2 at home, they’ll need either a mountain of goals or at least a 2-goal victory at Old Trafford. It’s not likely, but it’s possible.
Milan have received two pieces of great news [...]

In the past few years, the Serie A has been relegated to a second tier player in the UEFA Champions League. Back in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons of the tournament, the Serie A held 3 of the 8 quarter final spots and in both seasons had a team in the semi-finals or finals.
