Darrelle Revis & Jets Agree to Contract

Darrelle Revis has ended his holdout.

The Jets and Revis have agreed on a brand new contract, that will last four years, although financial terms were not released.

Revis is flying to New York as of 1 a.m. when the story broke on ESPN, and he is expected to play in the Jets season opener against the Baltimore Ravens.

Roethlisberger Suspension Reduced

As expected NFL commisoner Roger Goodell has reduced Ben Roethlisberger's six game suspension to four games. The Steelers quarterback has been suspended for violating the personal conduct policy of the NFL, after stories leaked that he had sexually assaulted a young woman inside of a bar.

Roethlisberger has the history of being quite the party animal, as the picture indicates. ;)

With the reduction in his suspension, Roethlisberger will be back under center for the Steelers October 17, in a home against against the Cleveland Browns.

This summer Pittsburgh had an open competition for the starting job between Dennis Dixon and Byron Leftwich to determine who will start the season's first four games.

Getting Roethlisberger back early will be a boon to the Steelers, that is if the team is 2-2 when the two-time Super Bowl champion returns. In the interim, Roethlisberger cannot practice with the team, or be anywhere near the facility until the suspension ends.

Eli Manning Battered & Blooded in Jets game

It was like a scene out of war movie. Giants quarterback Eli Manning gushing blood out of his forehead after a nasty hit forced the quarterback out of the pre-season opener late in the second quarter.

On a bobbled hand-off to Jacobs, Manning was hit hard from behind by Jets outside linebacker Calvin Pace, causing Manning's helmet to go flying off. Manning's head then smacked into the face mask of safety Jim Leonhard, ripping a huge gash in Manning's skin. WATCH VIDEO.

12 stitches were need to seal up the bloody mess. After the hit, Manning ran to the sideline with blood oozing down his head onto his jersey.

Manning is reportadly fine, and should not miss any games due to the injury.

Jets Starters Look Good Inspite of Loss To Giants

GIANTS 31
JETS 16

Even though the Giants third and fourth stringers beat up the Jets fourth stringers in the fourth quarter, the Jets were the team that left the lasting impression on this the opening of the 2010 pre-season as well as the opening of New Meadowlands Stadium.

Questions abound about how the Jets number 1 ranked defense would fair without Darrelle Revis, and right now its Jets 1, Revis 0. The Jets harrassed Eli Manning and the Giants offense all night, holding Manning to a putrid 77 yards passing; keep in mind, Manning and the Giants starters played the entire first half.

Antonio Cromartie did a great job in coverage of Hakeem Nicks, holding him to just one catch. Cromartie came close to picking off Manning twice in the game.

The Jets then held Brandon Jacobs to just 2 yards rushing, and Ahmad Bradshaw to -1 yard rushing. If the Jets starters remained in the game on defense they probably would have destroyed the Giants.

Offensively, Mark Sanchez looked sharp. Inspite of an early interception, that was really a deflection into the hands of Antrelle Rolle, Sanchez picked apart the Giants secondary. He was 13-of-17 for 119 and a touchdown to Brad Smith.

Ladainian Tomlinson showed the nation that he still has something left in his legs, as he ripped off a 14 yard catch to convert a key third down. And Santonio Holmes looked great, leading the Jets in receiving with four catches for 53 yards.

The Giants starting defense was so porous that they even made Kellen Clemens look good. Clemens was 7-for-10 for 84 yards, most of which went to Holmes.

So even though Brandon Jacobs said after the game, "We beat the Jets, the Hard Knocks Jets. Now we know who the stadium belongs to." It was clear that the Jets outclassed the Giants on the field.

Mets Want Out of K-Rod Contract

Monday afternoon it was reveled that Francisco Rodriguez will miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his pitching thumb, as a result of his altercation with his common-law father last week.

K-Rod was already suspended by the Mets for two games because of the melee, now the Metropolitans want out of the contract.

Rodriguez is due $11 million next season, and if he pitches 100 games through next season, a $17.5 million option will automatically kick in for 2012. That's $28 million due to K-Rod over the next two years.

If the Mets want to cut costs, trading K-Rod before the option kicks in is certainly a viable option that the Mets are strongly considering.

It will be difficult because the players union will be heavily involved in the grievance process against the Mets if they don't pay K-Rod his money. The Mets argument will be that the injury was self-inflicted hence they have no right to pay him the remainder of his 2010 salary.

K-Rod Beats Up Girlfriend's Father

Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez is in loads of trouble after beating up his common law father, Carlos Pena, after the Mets 6-2 loss to Colorado on Wednesday.

According to the New York Post Rodriguez got into a heated argument with his girlfriend Daian Pena outside the Mets clubhouse. The elder Pena came into to defend his daughter, when Rodriguez started punching him in the face.

K-Rod was then held inside a Citi Field jail cell, usually reserved for roudy fans. The Mets then suspended K-Rod for two days without pay, which cost him more than $125,000 of his $11 million annual salary.

"He was then arrested. At his arraignment in Queens court yesterday, Rodriguez pleaded not guilty to third-degree assault and second-degree harassment. He was released on $5,000 bail.

The judge said the pitcher's family was not safe at home, and issued the restraining orders. The ruling prevents him from entering the home or visiting their children without permission from Family Court.

Prosecutors claimed that Rodriguez has a history of family violence, including incidents in his native Venezuela and in California, where he pitched for the Los Angeles Angels. (New York Post)
