Rex Ryan says he put Mark Sanchez in because Jets were ‘trying to win the game’
The decision to put Mark Sanchez in a meaningless preseason game, after Geno Smith played poorly and it was clear that Sanchez was the Jets' best option to
begin the regular season at quarterback, was a little strange.Rex Ryan's explanation was much, much strangr.Play Y! Sports Fantasy Football: Create or join a league today!]Sanchez was inserted in the game in the third quarter, and was under constant pressure with the backup offensive line protecting him. He got crushed by Giants defensive lineman Marvin Austin and hurt his shoulder. That was his last play. Ryan said he didn't know the extent of the damage to Sanchez's shoulder.So why was a cold Sanchez in this preseason game with the backup line, which was a recipe for disaster? Take it away, Rex ...

Great white shark tagging expedition said to be most ambitious in U.S. history
Imagine a world in which people can keep tabs on all of the large great white sharks that roam the world’s oceans.Lots more would be learned about apex predators that, by and large, remain mysterious.
While tht day may never come, scientists are getting closer, and this week a group called OCEARCH has announced that it will embark on the most ambitious tagging project in U.S. history.
OCEARCH, led by Chris Fischer and Greg Skomal, on Tuesday will embark on a month-long expedition off Cape Cod, during which it plans to capture, tag, and release as many as 20 great white sharksDuring the tagging process, a team of scientists will take samples and conduct other studies they say will help answer a lot of unknowns.
Off the East Coast, OCEARCH is learning that white sharks spend lots more time off the Southeast than previously believed. One shark shocked scientists, however, when it ventured far up the coast in the winter, at which time the water temperature was 38 degrees.
Fisher, who was interviewed on CBS about the project (video posted above), said that in order to obtain a clearer picture of where these sharks travel, a larger sample size is required.
Because white sharks are an embattled species around the world, scientists everywhere agree, more research and a greater understanding of their habits is needed.
Said Fischer: “They are the balance keeper, the lion of the ocean. There is no robust path forward for the ocean, without a robust path for their sharks. And we must understand their lives to be able to impact their future.

“This expedition brings together an amazing team of researchers with broad experience in multiple disciplines,” said Skomal, a senior scientist with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries. “In doing so, we will be conducting over a dozen studies on white sharks, ranging from broad and fine scale migratory patterns to sonograms.
Our knowledge base on Atlantic white sharks will grow exponentially, helping both science and public safety.”Thanks to a permit issued by Massachusetts, the group will be working close to the Cape Cod coast, where 15,000 seals gather seasonally, attracting predatory white sharks. The expedition, funded largely by Caterpillar, will be aboard the 126-foot MV/OCEARCH.
OCEARCH, through its Shark Tracker website, is already monitoring the movements of 38 sharks worldwide. Among the handful that has already been tagged off the East Coast are Mary Lee and Lydia.
Mary Lee is a 3,500-pound female who was tagged last year, and scientists, students, and shark fans have plotted a course that extends as far north as Boston to her current position off Georgia.
Lydia is a 2,000-pound female who was tagged last March, and has since traveled eastward, far beyond Bermuda, as far north as Rhode Island, and is presently off the Southeast, like Mary Lee.At one point Lydia was right up along the coast of Jacksonville, Florida.
While the OCEARCH tagging program is somewhat controversial, because it entails bolting a large satellite SPOT tag to the predators’ dorsal fins, it is beginning to give scientists a better understanding of where these iconic sharks travel.

It’s hoped that more knowledge will help scientists pursue greater protections in areas the sharks frequent.
On the West Coast, different scientists have determined that many adult white sharks that gather seasonally at seal rookeries off California and at Mexico’s Guadalupe Island venture to a vast featureless area each spring and summer. It’s not yet known why.Off the East Coast, OCEARCH is learning that white sharks spend lots more time off the Southeast than previously believed.

Gone batty: David Ortiz ejected after arguing balls and strikes, destroys bullpen phone
Boston Red Sox designed hitter David Ortiz officially flipped his lid on Saturday night.
After striking out in the seventh inning against Jairo Asencio, Ortiz turned his attention to home plate umpire
Tim Timmons to argue a 3-0 strike call earlier in the at-bat. To Timmons' credit, he let Ortiz show him up by pointing to his helmet indicating he felt the pitch in question was too high and give him an earful all the way back to the dugout without reacting. In most cases, Ortiz's actions constitute an immediate ejection, but Timmons was willing to move on had he dropped his case peacefully.
Instead, Ortiz went bonkers and ended up smashing the bullpen phone in the visiting dugout at Camden Yards into smithereens with his bat (see: 1:22 in the video).
Ortiz's violent meltdown didn't really fall under the entertainment category. It was actually very dangerous and a little scary as shrapnel from the bat and phone flew all over the dugout. In fact, some of the shrapnel nearly took a chunk out of teammate Dustin Pedroia.
Woah. Easy there, big fella.
With the dust and particles now settled, I think it's safe to say a suspension will be coming Ortiz's way in the coming days. It probably won't be a lengthy ban, but it's a good time to send another reminder that such violent outbursts can't and won't be tolerated by Major League Baseball.
Fortunately for the Red Sox, a suspension is the only thing they have to worry about right now. That's a much better outcome than setting a timetable for Pedroia's return had one of those pieces of shrapnel found its way into his eye.

Nina Williams looks hot in the new Tekken movie
The live action Tekken movie is looking like it might do the series justice… at least in the costume department. Nina and Anna Williams look very much like their video game counterparts but is that a good
thing?We all remember Mortal Kombat the movie and while I personally love it I also understand how bad it actually is. No matter which side of thefence you are on with MK you have to admit that for the most part the movie characters looked like the game characters. I don’t have as much vested interest in Tekken but damn, movie Nina (played by Candice Hillebrand) looks spot on! That’s pretty fucking hot!

I’m not going to hold my breathe that this means Tekken is going to be a great movie, but at least it looks like they are on the right track. I definitely wouldn’t kick movie Nina Williams out of bed either – she’s pretty fuckable for a strong chick. Maybe we’ll get to see some hot girl-on-girl sister action if she fights Anna (whose boobs look like they could pop out any minute)…ahhh one can dream right?
