Broncos Roll Over Jets 26-0

The New York Jets were shut out by the Denver Broncos on Sunday in an embarrassing performance, falling to 0-3 on the season for the third year in a row.

The Jets didn’t just fall to 0-3 on Sunday with a loss to the Broncos in Denver. New York was embarrassed, manhandled and blanked.

Rather than taking a step forward from the building blocks that this team has displayed through the first two weeks of the season, the Jets showed just how far they have to go, falling 26-0 in a drubbing at Empower Field at Mile High.

From start to finish, Gang Green was outclassed. There were brutal penalties, unacceptable unforced errors and glaring weaknesses. Poor play calling, an absent running game, drops and a quarterback under siege kept this offense from finding any rhythm. On the other side, an inexperienced secondary was torn apart by Teddy Bridgewater and the Broncos offense.

Street Renamed For Yankee Great Whitey Ford

It’s another win for Whitey Ford!

The late, great Hall of Fame Yankee pitcher out of Astoria, Queens, was celebrated Saturday afternoon with a neighborhood street renamed in his honor.

Friends, family and elected officials beamed as 43rd Street between 34th and 35th avenues was co-named Edward Charles “Whitey” Ford Way.

Nicknamed “The Chairman of the Board” for remaining calm under pressure, Ford was raised in Astoria and spent his entire 16-year MLB career with the Bronx Bombers on his way to becoming a 10-time All-Star and six-time World Series champion.

NFL: Nick Chubb Gets $36 Million!

Running back Nick Chubb and the Browns have agreed to terms on a contract extension. It’s for three years and is for $36MM with $20MM guaranteed.

As a second-round pick in 2018, Chubb was previously set to enter the final year of his rookie deal. He’s been one of the best running backs in the NFL since entering the league, and has made the Pro Bowl each of the last two seasons.

The Georgia product led the league in rushing in 2019 and led the league in rushing touchdowns last year with 12 despite playing only 12 games. Impressively, Chubb has averaged at least five yards per carry in each of his three pro seasons.

Chubb is now one of the league’s highest-paid running backs, and he should have at least another opportunity to break the bank. As a result of this relatively short-term deal, Chubb will get to re-enter free agency in the spring of 2025 when he’ll still only be 29.
