The penultimate week of action in the
NFL's developmental league saw the World Bowl contestants decided and
therefore rendered next week's action completely meaningless. Only
slightly less meaningful than every other week of the season, then.
However, I will continue to keep you informed about the important and
interesting bits.
The Berlin Thunder (featuring Jets allocated
RB Little John Flowers and WR [...]

Since it is still 50 degrees, raining
and miserable here in Boston, I am just getting to my spring cleaning!
Here are some thoughts on different topics from the Jets and around the
rest of the NFL.
Jets get OT Ethan BrooksConsider this position filled then. Ethan Brooks,
who has started a number of games for teams over the past [...]

As many of you know, Donnie Abraham is
attending practices this week to determine his fate with the team.
About his possible return, Donnie said recently “I'm coming back to…
see how things go. Part of you wants to keep going and part of you is
saying maybe that's enough. The biggest thing is [coach Herman Edwards]
gave me the [...]

Hello. It's that time again. Well,
actually it's a day later than usual…but there is a reason. For some
reason, NFL Europe decided to schedule a Monday Night game this week,
so instead of the usual 2 hour highlight show, they aired that live.
Unfortunately, the game featured two of the teams with no Jets
allocated players and was pretty [...]

Bob DiCesare of The Buffalo News
writes an excellent piece on what the Jets Stadium public funding could
do to precipitate the ultimate departure of the Bills from Western New
York. Seeing the Bills leave Buffalo would be a terrible loss for
sports, and a terrible loss for Western New York. I guess I cling to
the hope that if [...]

I held out as long as I could, which wasn't that long.
I
am throwing myself right on top of the Ricky Williams dogpile. In short
order, the Dolphins might have brought both Ricky Williams back into
the fold and signed defensive behemoth Keith Traylor.
At
lunchtime, I was driving around in my car and I heard the guys on WEEI
in [...]

A Buffalo Newspaper
has written up a quick recap of everything that has happened in the
off-season in the AFC East. Worth a glance, but there isn't much there
you probably don't already know.

Two of the “heart and soul” players of the Patriots have had articles written about them recently.
After being cut, it looks like Troy Brown will be back with the Patriots. Talk about swallowing your pride for the team…
And Bruschi has made no decisions as of yet, and has stated that he will [...]

These are the thoughts of two Jets
fans. One a sellout Yankees fan (me) and one a hopeless dreaming Mets
fan (Bent). With a line in the sand, we are going to try and give our
thoughts on the games this weekend. Each breaking down their teams half
of the inning. Hope you enjoy.

Nothing like seeing three and a half
minutes of milling about, signing autographs and food set to the
backdrop of majestic NFL Films style music….
Either way, if you didn't go to the Taste of New York (which raised $140,000) event, it is neat to see (WM High-Bandwidth Version… check the site for other formats) the players and [...]

Actually there is no stadium filibuster, but there are back up plans.
I just think the word is cool…
Anyway.
I am fresh back from the NY Metro. I was just there for the night and
came straight back this morning for work. Nothing like driving 6 hours
after and before the next day's work…
One of the best parts of

Now that he has been cut by the Cards,
where will he end up? The Bills immediately spring to mind since as
Bent pointed out, since they have no Left Tackle (though letting the
D-Line tee off on Losman would be a delight if they DON'T sign him).
Bradway
has been pretty adamant about Jones' ability to play tackle for [...]
