No time for non-football updates, on what has been a suprisingly active Sunday for the Jets: 1. The Jets have acquired former New England backup quarterback Kevin O’Connell from the Detroit Lions for an undisclosed draft pick (likely a conditional 6th or 7throunder). Regardless, both Dave Hutchinson and Rich Ciminihave confirmed that Kellen Clemens isn’t …

First a few updates: 1. RIP Ted Kennedy. 2. Darrelle Revis, Kris Jenkins, Donald Strickland, and Jay Feely all returned to practice. Hopefully, the Jets will be at full strength for the Giants game this Saturday, which should see the starters play into the 3rd quarter. 3. The Jets waived offensive lineman Tavita Thompson. 4. Tonight is my …
First a few updates: 1. John Clayton speculated it would take a 1st and 4th round pick for the Jets or any other team for that matter to acquire Brandon Marshall from the Broncos…that is a steep price for the Jets, who only drafted three players last year and still badly need to add depth/talent …
First a few updates: 1. The Yankees took care of business this weekend, grabbing 2 out of 3 from the Red Sox. It would take a colossal Mets type meltdown for them not to win the division now. How about the season Hideki Matsui is putting together? 2. Television/Movie Discussion of the Day – Entourage was pretty …
First a few updates: 1. The Jets had their first annual “King Ugly” contest which names the three ugliest players/coaches in the organization. According to the beat writers and David Clowney’s twitter (also an interesting follow), first place was James Ihedigbo, second place was defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, and third place was Leon Washington. Hey, …

The Yankees and Red Sox start up tomorrow, hopefully the Yankees will deliver the knockout punch in the divisional race over the next three games.

First a few updates: 1. Special thanks to Tim Graham for linking TurnOnTheJets.com to the NFL Nation Blog right here (http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast/0-9-191/Projecting-final-rosters-in-the-AFC-East.html) …a little ESPN.com action for our little web site, we just might make it. I knew it was a good idea to predict the 53 man roster, although it was clearly not a good idea to …
First a few updates: 1. Sorry about the lack of posts since Saturday, I just moved in to my new apartment out by Lehigh and had orientation for grad school all day yesterday. I don’t know if anybody who reads this has ever been to the campus but let me tell you it was quite a …
Grading Out the Jets First Pre-Season Game Quarterbacks: B+ – Mark Sanchez stole the headlines in this game, with his 3/4, 88 yards performance. He only played one series but led the Jets on a 95 yard touchdown drive and on his first play from scrimmage threw a beautiful 48 yard pass down the sideline that …
First a few updates: 1. Vick to the Eagles? Wow, I didn’t see that one coming. What an interesting move, that could be discussed for hours upon hours. I don’t know what type of shape Vick is in right now, but I would imagine by the time he is reinstated (probably somewhere between week 4-6), …
