The New York Jets were the beneficiaries of the off-season’s biggest move, as the acquired Brett Favre, fresh off of his “divorce” with Green Bay. The addition of the seasoned veteran QB has been a huge lift for the team which has begun the season with a 2-2 record with their only losses coming to New England and San Diego, the two teams that played for the AFC championship last year.

In their week 4 game against Arizona, the Jets offense put up 56 points, as Favre put up 6 touch downs, his highest offensive production of his long and accomplished career. The win against Arizona proved that Favre could easily adapt to the Jets style of play and would not be hampered by any inability to adjust from the Green Bay offensive schemes that he spend so many years running.

The Jets are probably the best 2-2 team in the AFC and are looking to improve on that mark in week six against a winless Cincinnati team that has been playing exponentially better in the past couple of weeks. As the season continues, look for Favre to continue to gain comfort in the Jets offense, and if Eric Mangini will continue to allow Brett to be himself, expect great things from the J-E-T-S this winter.

Grab some New York Jets tickets and watch Favre, Laveranues Coles, and Thomas Jones try and separate themselves from the AFC East and the rest of the Conferences elite teams.

By the end of the NFL’s week 5 schedule, there were only two teams remaining undefeated, the AFC’s Tennessee Titans, and the Defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants from the NFC. While both teams have obviously looked good so far, the Giants have dominated the competition (outside of their overtime win in a must-win game for Cincinnati.

Posting up 41, 26, and 44 points in their last three games respectively, the Giants have now won eight straight dating back to last season, (including, of course, a Super Bowl victory against then undefeated New England).

Led by QB Eli Manning and RB Brandon Jacobs, who have both been phenomenal so far this year, the Giants are looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions in February. If so, they would be the first teams to do so since the Patriots in 2004 and 2005. Many people couldn’t help but wonder, if the suspension of WR Plaxico Burress during week five was going to hurt the team, but the Giants put on an offensive clinic despite missing their star receiver as they pummeled the Seattle Seahawks 44-6.

This week the Giants travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns, who bring in a record of 1-3 in the AFC north. Despite their record, many people picked them to win that division this year, and feel that they are better than the team’s record. It would definitely be a mistake for the Giants to overlook them.

If you’re in Cleveland this week, grab some New York Giants tickets, and be a part of the game!

Matthew Broderick is no stranger to the stage, being somewhat a veteran on the stage, as well as starring in numerous film adaptations of popular plays (The Music Man, Biloxi Blues, The Producers), Broderick knows the dedication and determination it takes to have a successful Broadway run.

His last Broadway performance was in a 2005 revival of The Odd Couple in which he garnered critical applause and praise from fans every night. This week, Broderick announced that he will be returning to Broadway this spring for another revival – The Philanthropist.

The Roundabout Theatre Company will be producing The Philanthropist at the American Airlines Theatre beginning on April 26, 2009. It will begin preview performances on April 10th.

The Philanthropist, in which Broderick plays an insular college professor, was last seen on Broadway in 1971, when it enjoyed a 64- performance run.

Grab your Broadway tickets online soon for The Philanthropist and see Matthew Broderick back on the stage once again.

Ohhh that Britney! The ‘former’ pop sensation who has since become more famous-for-being-famous (a la Paris Hilton) is back, and her path to a comeback may take her right down Broadway in NYC. According to recent reports, Britney Spears is heavily considering a spell on Broadway as she attempts to get her music career back on track.

Spears, whose sixth album is set to be released in December, has recently been seen in New York at Broadway shows, and reports say that she is researching in order to find the “perfect part” to make her stage debut.

Furthermore, many believe that she may be contemplating a move to New York City. A source told MSNBC however, “Britney always toys with the idea of going to New York. Obviously there’s no chance that is happening unless Kevin moves, too.”

Spears has always had the “itch” for acting, as she has made numerous television and film cameos, as well as starring in her own film in 2002, Crossroads. Additionally, she is no stranger to performing in front of crowds, though acting in Broadway and singing pop hits to teenagers, are certainly two very different things.

It remains to be seen whether Britney will make the move, to Broadway, but if she does, you can be sure that Broadway tickets for the event will be a hot, hot item.

The following five events were the hottest events on SelectATicket.com for the past week. Check them out!

1. AC/DC
2. Wicked
3. Cirque du Soleil – Wintuk
4. South Pacific
5. Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular

Come back again next week to see what events top the hot list. With the holiday season fast approaching it is not a shock to see the Christmas Spectacular and Wintuk make the list, but what events might make it next week?

Hairspray a popular Broadway musical based on the film of the same name by John Waters, is lowering the curtain on its hugely successful Broadway run in early 2009. Grab your Broadway tickets online now and see it before it leaves town!

For six years, Hairspray has been a Broadway staple, attracting thousands of fans, getting tremendously positive reviews, and even spawning a movie based on the play, based on the movie… makes sense, right? Well, six years may not seem long, and when compared to Rent, Cats, and Les Miserables it’s not. But there are so many active theaters on Broadway and many shows come and go with a run of only a year or two, so a six year, highly popular run is not a bad achievement at all.

During its run, Hairspray has not only been popular among fans, but actors have lined up to be a part of the show. From Lance Bass and Haylie Duff, to George “Norm” Wendt and Ashley Parker Angel, it has been one of the most consistently star-studded Broadway shows during its run.

Hairspray will close officially on January 19th, but it will leave behind a lasting legacy by virtue of its popularity, its stars, and the film that it produced that became so popular a few years ago. Though its leaving Broadway in January, I think it’s safe to say that we haven’t seen the last of Hairspray.

In a rather surprising move (considering the volatile sports market that is New York), both the Yankees and the Mets have resigned their General Managers, as well as their team managers after both teams their 2008 seasons with less-than-desirable outcomes. Neither team made the playoffs, and while the Mets barely missed the postseason, the Yankees finished 10 games out of the division lead and never really had a chance in August or September.

Nevertheless the Yankees have extended contract offers to GM Brian Cashman as well as Manager Joe Girardi. The move comes rather unexpectedly, as the Yankees aren’t particularly known for their patience and new “active owner” Hank Steinbrenner has shown to be no more patient than his father George, who is well known for his impatience and quick trigger finger.

Likewise, the Mets don’t have a great history of being patient with their brass. Earlier this year, Owner Fred Wilpon fired Manager Willie Randolph and replaced him with assistant Jerry Manuel. Many thought that Manuel would pull the team together and into the playoffs, but alas, they too missed the October fun. However, Manuel was resigned by the Mets organization, as was GM Omar Minaya, who came under a lot of scrutiny for the the Mets collapses in 2007 and 2008.

As surprising as they might be, I think all of these moves were good. You simply can’t expect to win it all every year, and with more and more parity in sports – baseball in particular – it’s completely unrealistic to expect a subway series every year. Bravo to Hank Steinbrenner and Fred Wilpon.

Join the boys of summer in New York again next year. Grab some Mets tickets and Yankees tickets, and cheer them on again!

For those who thought that Katie Holmes’ television and film stardom wouldn’t translate well to the Broadway stage, think again. Arthur Miller’s All My Sons, starring Holmes is the biggest success this season according to the latest box office receipts from week one of the Fall Broadway season.

EOnline reports that the revival performance of Miller’s play, which is based on the true story of a woman who informed on her father for selling faulty parts to the U.S. Military during World War II, raked in $684,002.

Another highly touted play, Equus, starring Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe is also performing well, bringing in $597,346 during week one. Katie can’t take all the credit, perhaps, for the success of All My Sons, as the show also stars veteran actors in Tony Award winner, John Lithgow and Academy Award winner Dianne Wiest.

Nevertheless, as the star of the show, Katie Holmes is entitled to her due for being part of Broadway’s top draw so far this year. Grab some tickets today for All My Sons, Equus, or any other Broadway tickets online and be a part of the show yourself.
