Multiple reports indicate that the New York Jets are already counting on the $8.25 million that they will save whenever they cut Santonio Holmes, which appears to be a foregone conclusion at this point.

Plaxico Burress was released from prison Monday after serving nearly two years on a gun charge. The former New York Giant wide receiver left the Oneida Correctional Facility in central New York early Monday morning with his lawyer, Peter Frankel and agent, Drew Rosenhaus.

The baseball season is here - finally - as pitchers and catchers reported for duty down in Florida and out in Arizona today.
