First off, Merry Christmas everybody. I am about to head off to the airport for 7 nights back in the old homeland where my forefathers likely rooted for the worst soccer team in the country and passed that tradition down to me as a Jets fan when my family came to America. If you never …

First a few updates: 1. The Jets announced their team awards today: Darrelle Revis was the team MVP (no-brainer), Thomas Jones won the Dennis Byrd Award for most inspirational player, D’Brickashaw Ferguson won the Marty Lyons Award for his off the field work, and David Harris won the Ed Block Courage Award. 2. The …
First a few updates: 1. The Jets brought in former Bengals running back Chris Perry for a workout. I am not sure what the motivation is behind looking at him. Obviously, with Leon returning from an injury, Thomas Jones being at the end of his contract, and Shonn Greene having fumbling problems, running back will …
First a few updates: 1. I really enjoyed Rex Ryan completely changing his tune in his Monday press conference…pretty funny stuff going from the “we are completely done..we suck” to the “hey are probably we going to the playoffs and we are going to fight like hell” attitude. 2. The game highlights section has …
First a few updates: 1. I’m not going to get on Rex Ryan for thinking the Jets were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs after yesterday’s game. Who could figure out this AFC mess, where somehow the Jets still remain within reasonable distance of a playoff spot? I spent an hour today messing with that …
Delayed Reaction: Lights Out on Jets Playoff Hopes I am pretty sure I have seen this one before…the Jets defense dominates, controls the entire game, the offense struggles, can’t put points on the board…allows the other team to stay close…then with the game on the line the defense chokes and allows the other team to …
First a few updates: 1. As expected Mark Sanchez was named the starter for Sunday…big shocker there. He will play with two knee braces on, which is what every fan wants to see from their 23 year old franchise quarterback. It is going to be cold and potentially snowing on Sunday, so it is …
First a few updates: 1. Rex Ryan still hasn’t named a starter at quarterback for Sunday yet, but all signs are pointing towards Mark Sanchez getting the nod. He took 75 percent of the snaps with the first team today and showed improved movement, along with no swelling from practicing yesterday. I am not …
First a few updates: 1. Mark Sanchez and Kellen Clemens split reps today at practice. Rex Ryan said Sanchez looked good today in practice but he will wait to see how he responds tomorrow morning before making a decision on who his starter is going to be. I would still be surprised if Kellen …
First a few updates: 1. Like the the rest of the Jets, I took yesterday off as a “victory Monday.” Actually, I have been suffering from a lovely combination of strep throat and a fever so I tried to sleep it off to be as healthy as possible for the final three weeks of …
