The New York Jets play their second consecutive NFL road game against the Buffalo Bills October 3rd. The Buffalo Bills gave
the New England Patriots and Tom Brady all they could handle in their game last weekend and this game could be similar if CJ Spiller can get involved as he was against New England.
The New York Jets are excited about the eminent appearance of Santonio Holmes in the fifth week of the NFL season. Mark Sanchez has performed well in his last two games for the New York Jets but is this an aberration or is this the real Mark Sanchez? If Sanchez is playing at the level of his last two games it will be an easy path for the New York Jets to make the NFL Playoffs.
Passing Attack for New York Jets a Step Above Buffalo Bills Heading into This AFC East Game
Mark Sanchez lived up to his nickname the Sanchise in his last two games for the New York Jets but now he returns to the scene of the crime from last season. Sanchez last trip to Orchard Park was not one he will soon forget. Sanchez was destroyed in one of his worst performances of last season. Sanchez fumbled once and only threw for 104 yards.
Ryan Fitzpatrick of the Buffalo Bills started against Sanchez the last time the two teams met and he only threw for 98 yards. The burning question will be answered this Sunday. Will either quarterback break 100 yards in this AFC East battle royal? Fitzpatrick will be undertaking his second start of the short NFL season and he played with confidence in first start against the New England Patriots. The passing attack edge goes to the New York Jets but just barely.
Ground Game For New York Jets Struggles While Buffalo Bills See Light at End of Tunnel
Shonn Greene, the New York Jets running back has struggled to get on track this season but his back up has done well in the first three games. LaDanian Tomlinson has looked like a young version of himself early in the season. Tomlinson has broken off some exciting runs and has actually shown speed to the outside. Tomlinson still looks ineffective running inside the hash marks. Jets crush the Bills. Jets 34 - Bills 13

Pornstar Devon James says she is Selling Tiger Woods Sex Tape
Devon James the Florida porn star who claimed Tiger Woods was the father of her nine-year-old son — said she has an “explosive” sex tape of her and Woods that she plans to sell to an adult entertainment company in Los Angeles, RadarOnline reported Wednesday.
"The tape is 62 minutes long and 37 minutes of it is us having sex," James told the celebrity gossip website before she boarded a plane Wednesday in her hometown of Tampa Bay to travel to Los Angeles.
James said the tape was made in 2008 and estimated it could sell for up to $350,000.
“It’s going to be the bomb,” she said of the footage.
"Legally we can't comment at this time," a representative for the porn company, Vivid Entertainment, told NewsCore about the alleged tape.
Vivid Entertainment is the same adult film studio that released Kim Kardashian’s sex tape, the tape of Playboy model and reality TV star Kendra Wilkinson having sex with her high school boyfriend, as well as the sex film of actor Laurence Fishburne’s daughter Montana.
In June, James alleged the now-divorced golfer was the father of her nine-year-old son and filed a claim for him to submit a DNA test. She said she met Woods while attending a Christian school program at age 19.
Alleged mistresses
Here are some of the women with whom Tiger was allegedly intimate.
But in August, the paternity case against Woods by the 29-year-old alleged mistress was thrown out by a Florida judge — as James failed to appear in court and because the adult film star does not even have custody of the child in question. The child is currently in the custody of James' mother.
Her mother, Sandra Brinling, has described her daughter as a "pathological liar."
"[My daughter is] only out to lie, steal and cheat," Brinling told Radar in June. "All she is looking for is to get money from [Woods]."

Are Buffalo Bills: In Complete Disarray or Freefall
Players are cut in the NFL. There's nothing unusual about non-impact players being let go. Cutting your number one quarterback after three games is a little more surprising.
The Buffalo Bills are 0-3 this season and occupy the AFC East cellar. After two poor quality starts by quarterback Trent Edwards, he was benched in favor of five-year veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, who had a solid game against the New England Patriots. Even with the loss, Fitzpatrick took the starting job away from Edwards, rolling up more yardage and points in one game than Edwards was able to amass in his two starts combined.
Edwards was only benched for the one game though. The Bills placed him on waivers this week and will apparently go with Fitzpatrick the rest of the season, with Brian Brohm moving up to the number two quarterback slot. It apparently took the Buffalo Bills two regular season games to realize what they were unable to see all of training camp.
Edwards was quickly signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars to back up a struggling David Garrard. Chances are he will start again this season, given that Garrard's performance, thus far, has been even more disappointing than Edwards'. In all fairness to Edwards though, he may not be one of the top quarterbacks in the league, but at the same time, put Tom Brady on the Bills and see if he makes it to the Pro Bowl.
With Trent Edwards gone, the Bills used their open roster spot to sign rookie quarterback Levi Brown to the practice squad. Brown was cut by the Bills before the season began. Unless there was some kind of salary issue, the move doesn't make much sense. At 0-3, there are many things that aren't making sense for the Bills. Even as they signed Brown, they still have to make room for tight end Shawn Nelson, who will return next week after a four-game suspension. That means somebody else will be unemployed in Buffalo next week.
The Bills face the New York Jets on Sunday. The Jets have knocked off both the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots in the AFC East. Both of those teams have already beaten the Bills, and the Jets should beat them as well. There are hype rumors that the Jets are walking into a "trap game," and that the Bills are much better than they appear. The Bills may well be better than they appear, but they aren't better

Buffalo Bills Review: Was Releasing Trent Edwards the Right Call?
Leo Roth & Sal Maiorana - Leo: It was, only it came eight months late. Taking this long to realize that the gunslingin' Ryan Fitzpatrick — think Jim Kelly without the arm — gives the Bills a better shot at winning than the gun-shy Edwards doesn't speak well of GM Buddy Nix and coach Chan Gailey as talent evaluators.
Sal: I'll go one further. Thinking that the Bills had a better shot winning with either Edwards or Fitzpatrick was a double-barreled mistake by this new regime. Yes, Fitzpatrick played decently Sunday in New England, but he's still a backup. That's all he'll ever be.
Leo: Clearly, the Bills are a more productive and more entertaining offensive team with Fitzpatrick under center and having Edwards shuffling around One Bills Drive was a major downer, just as it was the last seven games of 2009 when Edwards was benched.
Sal: I'm not clear about anything with this Buffalo offense, except for one thing: It needs a first-string, winning quarterback. Fitz is not that guy. He's a good backup, but they're not winning consistently with him. I'm just glad Gailey didn't wait until the Bills were 0-8 to make the move.
Leo: I'm just wondering about releasing him at this juncture. Teams still need a backup quarterback and Buffalo is left with Brian Brohm.
Sal: Yeah, but Brohm is the guy we were intrigued with all along. We knew what the Bills had with Edwards and Fitzpatrick. I just wish Gailey had played Brohm more in the preseason because maybe we'd know if he has a chance to be any good. Right now, it's a mystery.
Leo: All things considered, cutting Trent is a good move. He's a good guy and deserves to get on with his life. He can always say he played in the NFL and he can never say he didn't get a fair shot. He got many. Not a lot of players can say that.
Sal: So I guess you're saying he's not hooking on with anyone else and that football is over for him? I'll bet some team signs him. He can't play, but he's not done yet.
Leo: Add it up and the Dysfunctional Bills are right on course for the No. 1 pick. So what happened to Edwards' once-rising star, anyways?
Sal: The popular belief is that he was never the same after that hit by Arizona's Adrian Wilson five games into the 2008 season. Maybe, but my guess is that he just was never that good. If you remember, I wasn't impressed in his rookie '07 season when everyone was so excited after he supplanted J.P. Losman. Fans were just glad that he wasn't Losman.
Leo: I do remember, but I thought he had something. So I do think Trent was never the same after that hit. The game seemed to suddenly become too fast for him. But that doesn't explain why he played really well in beating San Diego, a playoff team, the very next week, and why he posted 100-plus QB ratings four other times. You have to admit he never had the best coaching, either. What would the late Bill Walsh, his biggest cheerleader, have done with this guy?
Sal: Trent went through three offensive coordinators during Dick Jauron's forgettable regime, and that certainly didn't help his progress.
Leo: The thing is, Edwards was all excited about having to answer to only one voice this season, that being Gailey's, and he still flopped despite a promising preseason. It's true Edwards was the victim of bad coaching. But so was Losman, who threw for 3,000 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2006 before being ruined by Jauron's gang. The true greats rise above crappy coaching and make a play. Trent never made much happen out there.
Sal: I have nothing to add on that. You are dead on with that assessment.
Leo: It's admirable that Nix and Gailey admitted their mistake instead of stubbornly sticking with Edwards all season. But I'm really reluctant to hand out praise here. Their rebuilding job has been set back by this decision.
Sal: Now on that point, I will disagree. What got set back here? They just rid themselves of a lousy quarterback. I have a couple other ideas. Keep the brooms out and get rid of Cornell Green, who can't block anyone. And oh, don't get me started on Aaron Maybin.
Leo: What about Marshawn Lynch? Isn't he on your hit list?
Sal: Well, sure, why not? He's a free agent at the end of the year. C.J. Spiller is their future, and Fred Jackson is signed for another two years to be the backup. Lynch has run well. Trade him now while he may have value.
Leo: So now Fitzpatrick is the guy. He's more fun to watch, that's for sure. But as we saw Sunday against New England, he's prone to big mistakes, which will limit just how many games the offense can win on its own.
Sal: And after watching Buffalo's pitiful defensive showing against a good offensive team for a second straight week, I don't see the Bills winning many shootouts.
Leo: I think after three games, we've got a pretty good handle on this Buffalo team. Offensively, they can average about 17 to 21 points if Fitzpatrick plays well and defensively they'll allow about 30 a game, with the occasional inspired performance tossed in.
Sal: Yup, right on track for the No. 1 pick.
Leo: In conclusion, I'm as encouraged about the offense under Fitzpatrick as I am depressed by the news that the Bills want to give Chris Kelsay a $24 million contract extension. For what, giving good quotes after another loss? Edwards? Green? Kelsay? Maybin? This franchise just can't be taken seriously at times.
Sal: Yup, which is why they are right on track for the No. 1 pick. Thanks for the (lack of) memories, Trent.
Sal: I'll go one further. Thinking that the Bills had a better shot winning with either Edwards or Fitzpatrick was a double-barreled mistake by this new regime. Yes, Fitzpatrick played decently Sunday in New England, but he's still a backup. That's all he'll ever be.

Buffalo Bills Release Former Starting QB Trent Edwards
The Buffalo Bills have released former starting quarterback Trent Edwards, the team said Monday.
The Bills had been shopping Edwards before his release, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Edwards was named the starting quarterback to start the season after winning a competition in training camp but was benched after Week 2 in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Brian Brohm is the other quarterback on the Bills' roster.
Fitzpatrick was 20 of 28 against the New England Patriots on Sunday with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Bills' 38-30 loss.
Edwards was in his fourth season in Buffalo after being selected by the team in the third round of the 2007 draft out of Stanford. He went 14-18 as a starter, including 0-2 this season.
He was benched a day following a 34-7 loss at Green Bay on Sept. 19 after going 11 of 18 for 102 yards and two interceptions.
In two games, Edwards went a combined 29 of 42 for 241 yards passing with a touchdown and two interceptions. He was sacked seven times.
The Bills' have made five in-season changes at quarterback in six years. The team hasn't had a regular starter since Drew Bledsoe's three-year tenure ended in 2003.
