The Jets got off to a fumbling, bumbling start on Sunday, but after a turnover plagued first half they rallied to beat Washington, 34 20. So they help out their fellow Met Life tenants by knocking off an NFC East team, and they take a 4 1 record to Foxborough, Mass., to play the Patriots on Sunday. When the Mets are finished, it will be time for New York to start paying attention to the Giants and Jets, and it looks as if they'll both be playing wholesale football jerseys meaningful games down the stretch. Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward continued to wear eye black to honor his late father, Craig "Ironhead" Heyward, despite being fined $5,787 by the NFL last week. Now, he'll be fined $11,576 for a second violation of the league's rules regarding "personal messages." He's not promoting a product or making a political statement; maybe it's time to amend that rule. Fox has hired Alex Rodriguez, who continued to rehabilitate his image, to add his insights to their coverage of the postseason games. Nothing, however, is ever uncomplicated with A Rod. Introduced on the NFL pregame show, he tried throwing a pass to Jay Glazer, overthrew him and shattered a monitor. Speaking of the Yankees, they're firing the cheap jersey hitting coach for the second year in a row, according to the New York Post. Kevin Long, now with the Mets, was let go last year. Now Jeff Pentland is out after one season. Perhaps a new hitting coach, along with some better hitters, will help. With epic traffic heading to Queens, Mets closer Jeurys Familia was late getting to Citi Field for a scheduled pregame press conference Sunday. Lot of that going around. Familia, who has retired 20 of the 22 batters he has faced nfl shop this postseason, through Game 1 of the NLCS, can be forgiven. He really doesn't need to be there until the eighth inning. Ohio State remained No.1 in the AP poll, but the relevant news around here was that two American Athletic Conference schools Memphis and Temple joined Houston to give the league three ranked teams for the first time. Memphis checked in at No. 18 after its upset of Mississippi and Temple (No. 22) is ranked for the first time since 1979. It's kind of sad that Michigan AD Jim Hackett felt compelled to issue a statement asking fans to stop sending or posting "hurtful, spiteful and vicious comments to one of our students," namely punter Blake O'Neill, whose mistake led to the decisive TD in the Wolverines' loss to Michigan State.
