2-3. A mark most teams reach and start to wonder what isn’t going right. For the New York Jets, that’s quite a few things on both sides of the ball. Special teams? Could be the best in the league. Mike Westhoff will get returns with Sione Pouha, but sadly special teams accounts for but 30% …

The New York Jets are not a top 5 NFL team in terms of talent. Let’s look at this with some perspective, as many are trying to do amongst a 2 game slide that makes the season feel like it’s already over. Quarterback: Mark Sanchez is 6’2, and does not have the arm strength of …
Week 2 College football is a beautiful thing, made even more so by new technology. Before the expansion of cable, the choices in college games were at most 4 games throughout the day and night. Thanks to networks such as ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, Versus, MSG, CBS, NBC & ABC, there were approximately 20 games I …
