* The Jets’ players who ripped Tim Tebow should look at themselves in the mirror. Tebow is a winner, those players are losers. Hey, Tim, get out of town with your talent, dignity and winning attitude and leave these losers in the dust.

* I guess most of us knew in the offseason when the Jets got Tim Tebow, this thing was going to explode, and boy has it. Putting aside the name-calling we’re hearing now, it was no secret this was a huge mistake. Unless Tebow was getting the starting job, this marriage just could not survive. But the Jets’ problems are much larger than Tebow. Coach Rex Ryan has managed to keep running his trap that this team was Super Bowl ready, when in fact this team likely won’t even make the playoffs. Now, with no running game, no passing game and no quarterback, the Jets are looking at a possible last-place finish. Mark Sanchez’s run as quarterback in New York has to be over. I long for the days of Richard Todd, Chad Pennington and Vinny Testaverde!

* When are Jets fans going to understand that in the team’s long history they have had only one outstanding, superstar quarterback: Joe Namath. Until they get another Namath (or a Peyton Manning or a Tom Brady), this franchise is not going to be in a Super Bowl. Neither Mark Sanchez, nor Tim Tebow, unfortunately, is the answer.

Rex gotta believe
* Jets coach Rex Ryan’s unshakeable belief in quarterback Mark Sanchez becomes more understandable when one learns Ryan also believes in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and LIPA.

Giant collapse
* Silly us, why should we have expected the Giants to go into the bye week at 8-2, with at least a 3 1/2 -game lead on the rest of the division, when they could go into the bye week at 6-4 with a 1 1/2-game lead.

Dickey does it
* Kudos to R.A. Dickey: First climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and now the “King of the Hill” as the NL Cy Young award winner!

Captain’s value
* I am pleased to see that Derek Jeter finished in the top 10 in the MVP voting, despite the fact that he got little or no support from the New York media. I personally feel he should have been in the top five. As to his value to the Yankees (and isn’t that what the V in MVP stands for?), where would they have been this past season without him? He was consistently terrific, as opposed to Robinson Cano, who was good in streaks, and who often couldn’t be bothered to run the bases.

Lets go Knicks
* With the Giants in the midst of their annual second-half collapse, the Yankees too cash-strapped to make any major free-agent moves, the Mets and the Jets a joke, I find it so refreshing that New York sports fans have the Knicks to cheer on. This team is well coached, talented and plays defense in the fourth quarter like a bunch of crazed dogs. I love this team and think that if they stay injury free they can win the NBA title.
