Having won five-straight, the Jets have seized control of the AFC East and their own destiny. Now, they have to avoid a letdown, as their remaining schedule doesn’t feature any really tough matchups. First up in the final five games is a Denver Broncos club that is not as good as their 6-5 record would indicate. Denver is like a boxer with a glass jaw, they can certainly score, but their defense can’t get off the field. They have allowed 380 yards and 27.5 points per game. They are also a -12 in the turnover department, a sure way to...
Have you heard of a guy called Fred Shero? No? Until recently, me neither. I’m not a big sports fan and Fred was a hugely successful Canadian NHL player and coach with a string of many hundreds of wins and numerous awards and accolades to his name.

The problem is there is a lot of work left to be done to realize that plan. The Knicks will enter the 2010-11 season with four players under contract: Eddy Curry, Jared Jeffries, Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari. That gives the Knicks plenty of space under the salary cap, but it is hardly the makings of a good team and that is what is most important to LeBron. Just this week James said, "When I decide to...
