Jets, Rex Ryan Unworthy of Free Pass for Drafting Mark Sanchez, As Draft Failures Adding Up

The Jets have played 42 regular-season games since they gave up a king's ransom to take Mark Sanchez with the fifth overall pick in the 2009 draft. Those games have been filled with highs and lows, as is the case with any NFL quarterback. But typically, those are the growing pains of a young quarterback, and they come with signs of maturity, as well. Sanchez's growth spurt is taking a bit longer than usual, and hasn't carried the promise of him ever actually reaching the elite level of play one would expect from a fifth overall pick. It could realistically...

WWE Rumors: Hornsowggle to Feud with Which Wrestler in 2012?

Let me put up a few notes first:

1. I am a big Hornswoggle fan. Being from Wisconsin, I openly admit my bias towards him.

2. Releasing Hornswoggle from WWE is not an option, so please save any insults.

3. The man has never done a thing wrong and is adored by millions.

Now to the rumor!

According to this report, WWE has discussed signing "mini-wrestler" Mascarita Dorada to feud with Hornswoggle in 2012. He impressed officials during a tryout in Mexico last month.

To be fair, I have never seen Mascarita perform, but even if he had a strong performance, there must be something there to even be considered for WWE. Either way, I like the idea of Hornswoggle getting more WWE TV time.

Why do I approve of this so much? Very easy!

Hornswoggle is a great WWE talent. It is about time we see him get back in the ring. Is he going to put on a classic all time great match? Probably not.

Is he going to win match of the year awards? No.

However, the man has always entertained me. Whether he was Vince McMahon's "son," or beating Chavo Guerrero every week, or rapping at Wrestle Mania 27, the man has always been fun to watch.

I never understood the hate on Hornswoggle. He has never been in trouble. He has no heat.

Everybody loves him, and he does what he is told. Sounds like a great man to me.

If WWE is trying to set up a feud for him on the Road to Wrestle Mania, why not? It is not going to take up 30 minutes every show. You won't get long winded promos.

There will not be much time "wasted" here.

Just let the man do his thing. He is one of the best entertainers in WWE. For him to finally get an "evenly matched heel" to feud with, good for WWE! I applaud the move and look forward to it.

REMINDER: Please follow me on Twitter @JustinWatry! I accept all requests and give everyone a special shout out...thanks.

Banged-up Wild continue to win

Injuries have been piling up for the Minnesota Wild, but that hasn't slowed the momentum they have created early in this NHL season.

The latest casualty is defenseman Marek Zidlicky who suffered a concussion on their recent road trip. He joins fellow defenseman Greg Zanon and Marco Scandella on the shelf. That makes three key figures on the back end that are now out for a team that has been one of the league's best defensively all season. The Wild have the second-lowest goals-against average in the NHL at just over two per game.

With the injuries come opportunities for young players including the latest call-up from the Houston Aeros, Kris Fredheim. Fredheim has put together a solid start to his season with the Aeros and his plus-7 rating was the best on the team when he was called up. Wild head coach Mike Yeo spoke Thursday morning about his young defender.

"I really have not seen him play much this year but the reports have been very positive. Watching him at practice this morning you can see he is a very disciplined player and he has great hockey smarts."

Fredheim made a mistake-free debut on Thursday night as he and the defensive corps shutout the high-scoring Colorado Avalanche 1-0. Fredheim played just over 10 minutes in the game and was even for the night while looking like the smart defender his coach spoke about earlier in the day. When asked about the night, Fredheim was soft-spoken and modest. "I was nervous before the game but once I got out there it was just hockey. This is a very easy team to play for from my perspective, these guys play great team defense and I just wanted to do my job."

Head coach Mike Yeo said there was no timetable established yet for any of his injured players so there is a good chance Fredheim will get more action in the next few games. Assistant coach Rick Wilson, who works primarily with the defensemen, says of the newest member of the team, "Kris is a very solid defender and he plays a responsible game... I was quite pleased with the way he played (Thursday)."

After the 1-0 win Thursday night the Minnesota Wild improved to 11-5-3 (25 points) which leads the Northwest Division and puts them just two points out of the top spot in the Western Conference. Minnesota is 8-2 in their last 10 games and in those 10 games they have only allowed 15 total goals against.

On Saturday night the Wild will welcome the St. Louis Blues to the Xcel Energy Center and FOX Sports North will have all the action covered starting at 6:30 pm with Wild Live presented by Century Link.

Tim Tebow Video: Watch Broncos QB Stun Jets with Amazing Touchdown Run

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow beat the New York Jets on a 20-yard touchdown run with 58 seconds left in the game Thursday night, and somewhere ESPN personality Skip Bayless was jumping with excitement.

If you thought Tebow mania could not get any bigger, it just reached a new level. 

Tebow's thrilling touchdown capped an epic 95-yard drive to complete a marvelous fourth quarter comeback and make the Jets hit rock bottom.

The Jets talk a good game and boast about how they are going to win the Super Bowl, but Tim Tebow just shut them up and made New York's game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12 as important as a playoff game.

Tebow is a winner, and his winning touchdown was the most magical moment of the NFL season.

You know what amazes me though? So many people criticize Tebow for a number of reasons but he just keeps at his job and wins football games. That is something you have to admire.

It was also nice to see John Elway applaud Tebow in the one of the boxes at Mile High.

Tebow doesn't impress you on the score sheet, but he finds a way to get the "W" and that is all that matters in the NFL. He wills his team to win like few players in football can.

The Broncos are now 5-5 and are alive in the AFC West title race. Tim Tebow in the NFL playoffs is now a real possibility and that is awesome for the sport.

Memphis Prostitute: Derrick Rose Doesn?t Pay For His Sex

Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose doesn?t pay for sex, at least when the prostitute in question doesn?t get her money up front.
So, let this be a cautionary tale to all of you aspiring whores out there.
Rose allegedly engaged the services of one of Memphis? finest and then stiffed her. Rule No. 1 when selling your body for sex ? get your cash up front. That?s apparently even more true when dealing with an NBA player.
Hell, you should probably stay away from those jobless pricks altogether right now.
Anyway, here?s the deal with Rose. Some chick named Bee told a story about one of her rookie friends getting stiffed by Rose after an engagement on Twitter.
Of course, it?s taken on a life of its own. Here?s the rundown.



As she would explain somewhere in her overused and almost unreadable Twitter feed, Bee learned her whorin? from a white girl, so she never made such mistakes.
Ironically, if you can bring yourself to read her feed, ...
