Clever 'Star Wars' image for NFL matchup

Picture: New York Post's brilliant 'Return of the Jet-I' cover

The New England Patriots have won every off-field battle with the New York Jets this week. Bill Belichick played it cool while Rex Ryan ranted, Tom Brady(notes) looked classy in light of Antonio Cromartie's(notes) profanity, and Wes Welker(notes) managed to make fun of the Jets' coach for an entire press conference without once saying his name.

[Rewind: Philly paper's controversial Vick headline]

But while the Jets may be losing the battle of the press conferences, the New York media is picking up the slack in the war of the front pages. Witness the New York Post's brilliant (yes, brilliant) Return of the Jet-I cover, which fronted a 16-page pullout section of Friday's edition:

I know as much about "Star Wars" as Antonio Cromartie does about family planning, but here's the list of players-turned-characters:

(clockwise from center)

-- Bill Belichick as Darth Vader

-- Patriots logo as the Death Star (with Jets' planes crashing into it)

-- Joe Namath as Yoda

-- Rex Ryan as Han Solo

-- Michele Ryan as Princess Leia (in her infamous slave outfit)

-- Mark Sanchez(notes) as Luke Skywalker

-- Nick Mangold(notes) as an Ewok

-- Darelle Revis as Obi-Wan Kenobi

-- Various Patriots players as stormtroopers

-- Tom Brady as ... Tom Brady? (How did they miss the opportunity to turn he and his flowing mane into Chewbacca?)

First Look At The New Spider-Man

Ever since word of a "Spider-Man" reboot was announced, fans have been hungry for any scrap of info about the movie. How will this version differ from Sam Raimi’s hugely successful franchise? How will Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker stack up against Toby Maguire's? Today, we get an early look at the upcoming flick. Check out the pic below.

The photo, the first released from the movie, shows Parker in Spider-Man's iconic red and blue suit sans mask. His face has been scuffed up and his suit, which is more textured and less sculpted than in Spidey's previous incarnation, looks a bit worse for wear.
I see it as a massive challenge in many ways," he told Details magazine. "To make it authentic. To make the character live and breathe in a new way. The audience already has a relationship with many different incarnations of the character. I do, as well. I'm probably going to be the guy in the movie theater shouting abuse at myself. But I have to let that go. No turning back. And I wouldn't want to.

Lord of the Rings – Different Artist

I’m great fan of J.R.R. Tolkien. First, it was “Hobbit” for me, nice fairytale, with beautiful characters. Later, “Lord of the Rings” came in my hands, and I just fell in love with it. WOW! What a story! Epic at least! After that I’ve start looking for every Tolkien’s book, and now my library is almost full: I got every book that is translated in my language. Now, I’m collecting drawings, and I’ve got beautiful collection of different artist.
