All about cars

My final score is Jets 24- Chargers 21.  

Bob Glauber, of Newsday, looked at the progress made, so far, by Mark Sanchez and wrote, “It has taken a few stern reminders from his head coach and offensive coordinator, but Mark Sanchez finally gets the idea: Better to play it safe and live to see another play than throw an interception and watch your team lose. The Jets’ rookie quarterback has learned his lesson well, as evidenced by his vastly reduced interception numbers in recent weeks. That stat is music to Rex Ryan’s and Brian Schottenheimer’s ears: In his last six games, Sanchez has just six picks, and zero INTs his last three games. It’s no accident the Jets are 5-1 in those games. And two wins from going to the Super Bowl. “If we have to play that way, I think Mark would be fine,” Schottenheimer said. “I think he’s gotten to the point where he understands that he’s just got to go through his progressions, and if something’s not there down the field, then don’t throw it and take the check-down pass instead. He’s not forcing the ball like he was earlier in this season.” Sanchez has had only five games in which he has thrown the ball 30 or more times, and the Jets are 2-3 in those games. Sanchez has totaled seven touchdown passes and seven interceptions in those games. In five of his last six starts, Sanchez attempted fewer than 20 passes; the Jets won all five, relying on the running game. In last week’s 24-14 wild-card win over the Bengals, Sanchez was 12 of 15 for 182 yards and a touchdown. the current state of boxing.

Close your eyes and remember. October 1993. Las Vegas. The land is needed more than the building, so they fill the venerable Dunes Hotel on the Strip with dynamite, push a button and it implodes.

January 2010. The good ol’ USA. No dynamite, just stupidity and ego. Same thing happens. Boxing implodes.

Last Sunday, promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank announced that Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines will fight Joshua Clottey of Ghana. The fight will be March 13 in the Dallas Cowboys’ new football stadium.
