Danny Trejo feels like he’s been preparing to play the title character in “Machete” for over a decade — about as long as he’s been working with writer/director Robert Rodriguez. “Robert’s been training me for this movie since we did ‘Desperado,’” says Trejo, who’s appeared in eight of Rodriguez’s films. “He said, ‘Hey, you’re perfect for this character. That was 14 years ago. And so, you know, 14 years and 780,000 phone calls later — it was just like stepping into the guy.”

Rooting for Mike Tannenbaum on “Hard Knocks” is like pulling for the Enron guys in that play that couldn’t last on Broadway. Only, it’s less fun. Yet tons of fans continue to take the side of the Jets’ whiny general manager (What more can I do!) over that of best cornerback in the NFL. Thus, one of the great mysteries in sports (one that doesn’t involve deciphering what alternate universe Roger Clemens thinks he inhabits) continues this week.The Yankees strike out looking on Dan Haren, the Mets simply strike out.
