Ines Sainz – The Interview
Mexican Sports Report Ines Sainz is now famous, not for her skilled sideline analysis but for that locker room incident. Well why not make hay Inez, as they say in Mexico.
Sideline Showdown
The American Football season has just begun and already there are problems.
Inés Sainz is a NFL reporter for Mexican TV and is in the spotlight today after it was revealed that the league authorities are investigating complaints that she was treated badly by members of the NY Jets
The NYPost takes it up
Jets head coach Rex Ryan, one of his assistants and some of the team’s players are being probed for unsportsman like conduct against a sexy female reporter after they allegedly pestered her with goofy, on-field antics and locker-room catcalls.
NFL and team officials yesterday said they were investigating reports the Jets made suggestive comments to knockout TV correspondent Ines Sainz — who calls herself “the hottest sports reporter in Mexico” — during and after a weekend practice at their Florham Park, NJ, facility.
Sainz, a bombshell blond reporter for TV Azteca, was at the Jets’ practice Saturday to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez.
Today she tweeted, “Thanks everyone for your support. I already spoke to the NFL, which will decide if there will or will not be consequences. I can say that at the time I didn’t want to pay attention to what was happening but the rest of the media heard clearly and in solidarity have denounced what happened, hoping that there is always a respectful climate.”
During the portion of practice open to the media, Ryan and defensive backs coach Dennis Thurman purposely overthrew passes so they would land near Sainz, she said.
Later, during a locker-room availability, several players allegedly hooted and hollered when Sainz walked in.
Ines, thankfully doesn’t take herself too seriously.
Fumble
Dropping, fumbling, knocking on, call it what you want. But there has been a lot of it going on this weekend.
Firstly there was Australia’s Kurtley Beale
He did redeem himself, to be fair.
Then there was Ronald Flemons of the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League.
And then there was this touchdown that never was by the Fighting Irish – Notre Dame
Summer is over and we are not yet saved
Black and White Steel
It’s dark and wet on the way home from work tonight, the bus smells like soggy dog. The Champions League is back for group games next Tuesday. Winter is officially here. They can lie to us about an Indian Summer and the temperature might creep over 20 again once or twice more but really we’re done here. All of which means the summer ended from a sporting perspective last Sunday. The All Ireland Football final has a lot to live up to.
And yet, the potential for one final signature game exists.
The press nights for Down and Cork are over. Both managers will have trotted out their clichés in the hope of avoiding anything that might be useful motivation for the other. Wee James apparently rolled his eyes when asked to explain the value of Marty Clarke and urged the hacks to play the tapes of the previous press night before the semi-final to find the answer, then swiftly apologized, smiled and waxed lyrical.
Eoin Cadogan should surely be forced to mark Marty. He’s possibly the only footballer in Ireland now that Ricey isn’t at the full peak of his powers capable of dealing with the Joe Montana that is Clarke. I incorrectly used Dan Marino as my go-to-quarterback when looking for a way of explaining Marty to anyone yet to see him in the flesh when I was jabbering on about it on the radio last week. It sounded jarring to me but I momentarily couldn’t remember if Marino was a leftie too. He isn’t. So I thought Clarke was Joe Montana in my head, only crossed with a running back. His shuffling feet, tiny turning circle and loping style delivering the ball into the precise point that the onrushing player is arriving to at full pace. Only it turns out Joe Montana isn’t a leftie either. Steve Young, so far as I know, concussioned out of professional football is the guy in my head. Comparing Gaelic Footballers with American Footballers is a sure sign of madness.
For Clarke’s sake alone I want Down to win. I do want to see what happens if they put Cadogan on him though.
Maybe a bit of this? (I think Xavier pointed out here before that the haunting theme tune half way through is what makes this video special, although it did leave me convinced by sheer weight of video evidence).

Synchronised Diving
This time out of the water, and on the field in American Football.
Here we feature the efforts of Darren and Romeo Robinson as they fake injury in order to slow the Texas A&M offence.
Stephen F Austin still ended up losing the game 48-7

Alex Flanagan is an NBC sideline reporter because, she is smart, funny and can do one hell of an interview. The following photo has nothing to do with it at all, not one bit.
Catch, Pass and Puck of the Day
Because not everyone watches college football or trawls through NHL archives.
First off we have Alabama Crimson Tide’s(us too) Julio Jones with this amazing grab.
And deep in the NHL freezer is this spectacular shot from Canadian Steve Stamkos.
