First a few updates: 1. I have to recommend everybody finds a way to get down to Austin, Texas at some point in their life. The place is completely out of control. I thought I would have a more laid back spring break after going to Cancun the previous two years but I was absolutely, …

Shame on me for talking about how slow the Jets off-season news was yesterday, because last night it began to pick up.

First a few updates: 1. Did anybody see that video of Brandon Marshall from practice that prompted his indefinite suspension from the Broncos?

Read “Big Moves On Jets Horizon?”
First a few updates: 1. I would have to say at this point there is a less than a 10 percent chance of the Jets signing Plaxico Burress or trading for Brandon Marshall. Beyond those two, what other veteran options could they consider at receiver? Marvin Harrison might not be a bad option, regardless of …
