Cheese heads invading Hofstra

August
9

While going through the crowd at Hofstra to see Brett Favre’s debut for Gang Green, I ran into the Pratt family—Lisa, Sylas and little Sophia. They were originally from Wisconsin and now live in Westbury out here on the Island. What struck me was that they were one of the few people with [...]

Chad Pennington

April
11

I know that I’m late on this one but I think that the guarantee made by Mike Tannenbaum was the smart and the right move to make.

Between him and Kellen Clemens; I would still take Pennington any day of the week for the fact that Chad is the more accurate and more poised the Clemens [...]

It’s about time

April
11

That Kerry Rhodes finally got the money that he deserved. The 5-year, 33.5 million dollar extension with the 20 million in guaranteed is very well deserved. He’s now one of the highest paid safeties in the NFL.

And rightfully so; there is no question that he is the best player in that Jets backfield. [...]

Coles’s guarantee

March
28

Coles got the 11 million guaranteed from the end of his deal but no extension on the contract.

The man is a warrior and the definition of what it means to play mentally tough. Do I think he should’ve gotten the extension? Not right now, getting the money guaranteed will help get him focused to [...]

My take on the latest moves

March
20

Ok.. I know I’m a little late on this but I have to ask a serious question to ask. Why did the Jets sign Bubba Franks? What’s going to be his purpose? The organization took the time to work Chris Baker into a pass catching tight end and he’s a pretty good [...]

Showing the money

March
3

I guess Woody Johnson has been saving all this money for this time. He’s giving a lot of money to these players in hopes of turning around a 4-12 season. Don’t get me wrong; I think it’s great that Johnson is showing a lot of trust in Mangini and Tannenbaum but some of these [...]

Faneca’s a done deal

March
1

Piggy backing off of a comment made on Jake’s post; the deal for Alan Faneca according to his agent as reported just a minute ago on SNY is a done deal for the 4 year 32 mil.

He gives huge stability to that o-line and it’s nice to take away from that line in Pittsburgh. [...]

Free agency moves

February
29

The Jets completed a deal to send Jonathan Vilma down to the Big Easy. It the terms are still not known yet but according to ESPN.com’s John Clayton this is what is believed to be what the Jets get out of this:
“Though terms of the deal weren’t announced, it is believed Vilma will go [...]

Jets release three players

February
26

According to the Jets website; the Jets have released CB Andre Dyson, WR Justin McCareins, and G Adrien Clarke. In regards to McCareins, all I have to say is it’s about damn time.

McCareins was horrendous last season. But the biggest game that stuck out for me the most was the game up in [...]

Pete Kendall part Deux????

February
18

Now you all are probably what in the world I’m talking about.

If you all have read the report out of the Newark-Star Ledger then you have a clue of what I’m talking about but for those of you who have no clue, the long of the short of it is that Laveranues Coles is looking [...]
