If
you are unfortunate enough to have to listen to Mike & Mike on ESPN
radio, please do not believe the hype. I will believe Chris Mortensen
LONG before two idiots who need to fill hours and hours worth of radio
time with bad rumors. So, there is a chance Abraham might not be back,
and might play for the [...]

Foxsports.com's most recent Mock Draft (8.0) picks the Jets to take Khalif Barnes,
OT from Washington with the 26th pick of the draft. As stated
yesterday. There are no Robert Gallery's this year, so the best Tackles
in the draft might fall to the end of the first round. From the Mock
Draft:
The Jets lost right tackle Kareem McKenzie [...]

I have seen it all.
This is so rich, it HAS TO be fattening. Even though there is no tie to the Jets, I had to post this.
Apparently, it is alleged that top punter Todd Sauerbrun has been linked to steroids.
In
a release yesterday, the CBS News show said the players had
prescriptions for testosterone cream filled within [...]

The 2005 NFL Draft is only 24 days away.
For
the Jets, the big question is what are they going to do with their
first round pick? With glaring needs at a few positions, it is hard to
tell. So how do we figure it out?
First, let's assume the the
Jets will try to find a player with their first [...]

This is a great idea from Tom Schaller of Bronczilla, and I hope he doesn't mind my stealing it…
Basically,
I am going to assess the Jets since the end of the season, and any
notable roster or coaching activity they have made. I won't rank the
Jets moves against any other teams like Tom, but against themselves and
the [...]

“I
don't know what the opposite of the Midas touch is,” said Mayor
Bloomberg's press secretary, Ed Skyler, “but whatever it is, he has it.”
This
referring to the man that has had some far reaching effects on New York
Sports over the last few years. In New York Sports circles, this guy
has become the new Steinbrenner.

I've been debating doing this for a while now…
Actually, a similar post by my friend Jeff on www.celticsblog.com
last fall actually inspired me to start this site for Jets fans. Since
then, it has been a great ride and I thank every person who has been to
the site, especially if you have contributed through posting or
comments.
Given that [...]

In a “what-What-WHAT?!?!” move, the Denver Broncos have signed able veteran Stephen Alexander
to a 3 year deal for only $4.2 million, putting the bug back in my ear
that the Broncos, who are scrapped for cap space will still look to
deal Jeb Putzier.
This is freaking huge! It could be that they
want to use more Double-TE [...]

I'm bored, let's play a game.
Restricting
ourselves to the AFC East, look around the division and find some bit
of news that could have good or bad outcomes for the Jets. Why just the
AFC East you may ask? Since the Jets will play 6 of their 16 games in
the AFC East, it stands to reason that this [...]

John Clayton writes an in-depth piece about the looming Collective Bargaining Agreement showdown that could get ugly for the NFL starting in two years. John Clayton writes:
Tagliabue's
opening statements were pointed and direct. The NFL is rolling in
money, but the longer the league goes without resolving its future
labor issues, the greater the problems that lie ahead.

Dave
Anderson writes an excellent piece basically putting all the goings-on
with the Jets into one article. Registration is required, but it is worth it, here is a blurb:
Like
it or not, whatever the Jets do or don't do between now and training
camp in July will be measured against the makeup of the New England Patriots,
the reigning two-time [...]

With some regular season scheduling
announcement to be made today, I thought I would add this, (which I
never did when it first came out). For the full NFL preseason schedule,
see this page on NFL.com, but here's the important stuff:
Week 1: Aug. 11-15 Detroit at New York JetsWeek 2: Aug. 18-22 Minnesota at New York [...]

Looking to the future, some of the
recent events last week have made the Jets' future a little more cloudy
as gaps have not been able to be closed and as relationships iced over
between the Jets and John Abraham.
So where do the Jets go now? The Free Agent Cupboard is a little bare these days.
There [...]
