NFL Europe Week 9 Recap

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 [...]

Junk Drawer

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.

who has started a number of games for teams over the past [...]

What's Donnie's Deal?

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 [...]

NFL Europe Recap Week 8

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 [...]

How the Other 99.5% Live

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 [...]

Ricky Williams: Weak Enough to Play?

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 [...]

Quick AFC East Preview

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.

Latest with Bruschi & Brown

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 [...]

Off Topic: Subway Series Game III

fans. One a sellout Yankees fan (me) and one a hopeless dreaming Mets

Taste of New York

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 [...]

CNNSI: Jolley's Break Out Year

CNNSI gave it's list of NFL players to have a breakout year. Doug Jolley was listed in the mix among LaMont Jordan, Lee Evans, Ty Calico and others…

Holy Filibuster Bat Man!

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

L.J. Shelton: Where will he land?

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 [...]
