Couple of things gleaned from today’s practice out at Florham Park.

Safety Eric Smith is appealinghis $50,000 fine and one-game suspension, according to Jets coach Eric Mangini. Smith tackled Cardinal WR Anquan Boldin, and the helmet-to-helmet hit sent both to the ground, and Smith was unconscious and doesn’t remember the play or what happened afterwards which [...]

This camper is owned by the operator of a the Lukoil gas station in Oakland N.J., which happens to be en route from Rockland to Florham Park on I-287. Since gas is cheaper in N.J. by 30 to 40 cents a gallon, I’ve been getting my gas there.

Last week (as I was getting oil for [...]

Brett Favre really is a Jet, the Green Bay Press Gazette has a story that his house is for sale there. Here is what gets me: it’s on the market for $475 K. Now as a sportswriter based in Westchester, who makes significantly less than Favre’s $12 million a year, I am shocked that his [...]

Jets quarterback Brett Favre was named one of two NFL players of the week with Kansas City RB Larry Johnson. More information from the NFL press release announcing Favre’s award:
Brett Favre threw for a career-high six touchdowns and posted a 123.7 passer rating in the Jets’ 56 – 35 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Favre [...]

We ran this in The Journal News today, a little human interest story on the coach who is often all business. Let me just add that, as a woman who has two children, I would much rather go through labor again than sit through “Beverly Hills Chihuahua.” But that’s just me.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – With [...]

We had this today in The Journal News on the special teams coach back after a major operation to fix his leg:

The problem with a titanium rod in your left leg is that it sets off the alarms at airport security, but it’s hard to see Jets special-teams coach Mike Westhoff getting rattled by anything.

“One [...]

The mood in the Jets locker room was giddy; loud music, and 300-pound guys dancing like they were in a Miami club and making everybody crack up. Kareem Brown actually grew up in Miami and went to school there, so it’s clear that’s where he gets his moves.

Lots of them are reading home for a [...]

The Jets will get an extra roster spot when S Eric Smith is suspended for one game, and today they signed LB Brandon Renkart. Coach Eric Mangini said WR David Clowney and K Mike Nugent should be ready to return in one to two weeks, on a progressive basis.

Based on his six passing TD performance [...]

The NFL Network will replay the 56-35 Jets win tonight at 8 p.m. You can watch the whole game without getting all stressed out in the third quarter when the Cardinals score three straight touchdowns. Unlike the way it felt when you watched it live.

I’m going to include what I wrote about Jets safety Eric Smith in today’s paper. One thing I noticed; Smith carried a piece of paper from a local radiology center. Coach Eric Mangini characterized the injury to Smith as “groggy.” That seemed a bit glib to me considering all that Smith can’t remember and [...]
