ESPN's Jaworski says Jets' Sanchez will continue to develop for a long career

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. -- Ron Jaworski was sitting at a computer monitor reviewing every pass Mark Sanchez has thrown this postseason, noting the inevitable trials of a rookie quarterback.

Joe Namath has confidence in the new-look Jets

Joe Namath is not guaranteeing a Jets win. Not this week. But he does see many similarities in attitudes between the team heading to Indianapolis for Sunday's AFC title game against the Colts and his 1968 team that beat the Colts in Super Bowl III.

Much at stake for Tiger Woods, PGA Tour and television

In the wake of Tiger Woods' stunning announcement Friday night that he is taking an indefinite break from golf, there are a million questions, but two are paramount:

What will golf be without Tiger Woods and what will Tiger Woods be without golf?

'Blind Side' offers lesson on coaches

"The Blind Side," the new movie about Ravens offensive tackle Michael Oher, includes cameos by a series of real-life SEC coaches shown trying to recruit him.

But there is

Phillies' Manuel takes issue with McCarver's game analysis

Phillies manager Charlie Manuel took a veiled shot at Fox broadcaster Tim McCarver on Friday when Manuel was asked again about his decision not to send the two runners on base with one out in the eighth inning of Game 2, when Chase Utley grounded into a 4-6-3 double play against Mariano Rivera.

Potential Bobby Valentine-Steve Phillips tandem on ESPN set a man short

It would have been a delicious, outside-the-lines subplot at the World

Series: Steve Phillips and Bobby Valentine, together again -- perhaps even side by side -- on the ESPN set at Yankee Stadium.

Kaitlyn Beltelsen, of Salt Lake City, waits for the start of Game 5 of the American League Championship baseball series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels on Thursday in Anaheim, Calif.

Baseball must shorten these marathon playoff games

Replay reviews in baseball? Really?

Complete with hooded video screens, manager challenges, debates over the nuances of "indisputable evidence," umpires scribbling notes to one another ... the works, NFL style?

(STEPHEN CHERNIN/The Associated Press) New York Islanders' John Tavares (91) celebrates his first goal as an Islander as Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury lies sprawled on the ice in the second period during an NHL hockey gamin in Uniondale, N.Y., on Saturday.

Islanders have found something in rookie Tavares

UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- We may just have something here in John Tavares. Something to get excited about.

Through the parade of disappointed dignitaries speaking before and even during the game -- I went to a press conference and a hockey game broke out -- there was the kid that 16,250 came to see.

(PETER KRAMER/The Associated Press) Former football player Michael Strahan and Nicole Murphy attend the premiere of "The Informant" at Ziegfeld Theatre recently.

Former Giant Michael Strahan adds 'Brothers' to his television repertoire

Michael Strahan would have been voted "Most Likely to Star in a Sitcom" if someone had taken a vote in the Giants' locker room during the years his booming cackle and out-sized personality dominated the place.

As Tiki Barber said just Thursday on WFAN, "That's the perfect vehicle for him."

Former Giant Jason Sehorn moving on to broadcast world

NEW YORK -- What has Jason Sehorn been up to in the years since he mostly retreated from public life?
Pretty much what you might expect of the iconoclastic California boy who not that long ago was among the biggest sports stars in New York.
"Same thing I've always done: surf, mountain bike; that's it," he said.

Remembering Thurman Munson, 30 years later

During these past 30 years, much has been remembered and much has been learned about Thurman Munson, who was both familiar and concealed. One thing does stand out, though. He didn't want to hit for the cycle.
He wanted no part of the family cycle that produced his father, Darrell, a man so difficult that by the end, he had no relationship with his wife or children.
Thurman Munson, heart and soul of the Yankees, couldn't stand being apart from his wife and three children in Ohio. That led him to get a pilot's license and buy his own plane, which led him to take a spin in his new Cessna Citation on Aug. 2, 1979.

Yankees 'Old-Timers' Day still a hallmark occasion

Old-Timers' Day at Yankee Stadium on Sunday will be well worth watching, and not just to see if Dr. Bobby Brown, 84, can pop one over the right-centerfield fence the way everyone else does.
It will be compelling for other reasons, not the least of which is seeing if the occasion plays in the new ballpark the way it did in the old one. None of the Old-Timers ever played in this place. Does nostalgia carry as well here as fly balls do?
It will be compelling, also, because it always is. Legacies have grown old with most other teams (who have ditched Old-Timers' Day), but not with the Yankees. They absolutely don't have to hold it, which is why it's good that they do.
