Jets Pick Off Panthers 17-6

Nov 30th, 2009 | By Joe Pietaro | Category: New York Jets

When your team has dropped six out of their last seven games, you’re not looking for pretty wins. The ugly variety will do just fine, thank you. The Jets gained their first home win since Week 3 with a pedestrian yet efficient performance in a 17-6 victory over the Carolina Panthers, who dropped to 4-7.

In a few years from now, this may all be just a cloudy memory. Down the road, the Nets could very well be playing in front of a packed house with an enthusiastic Brooklyn crowd wearing number 23 jerseys. But then again they could be stuck in the same swamp they are now without any [...]

Nov 28th, 2009 | By Bob Lazzari | Category: Bob Lazzari

Yes–at first, I thought it was a basketball score, but I was wrong.  In a Division II college football playoff game last weekend, West Liberty beat Edinboro 84-63 (I’m not kidding, folks); the teams combined for a Division II single-game record 1,394 yards of total offense.  Here’s the topper:  QB Trevor Harris of Edinboro threw for an NCAA [...]

After an embarrassing 26-6 [...]

MIAMI 34 DUKE 16
Though the final score suggests it, this was anything but a blowout. Duke was winning 13-10 at the half and looked to be in the middle of an ACC upset. However, Miami quarterback Jacory Harris had different plans in the fourth quarter. Throwing for 348 yards and two touchdowns on the game, [...]
