Looks like Law got an offer from the Buccanneers.
I am not sure if it is part of the uniform, but if he goes to Tampa, I hope they make him wear the Seinfeld “puffy shirt.”
Hearing
the phrase he was “faxed” an offer reminds me of the fact that he
mentioned in the recent Peter King piece, that [...]

Beside his quick update
yesterday (looks like he is going to camp 2 days early if my math is
right…), I thought this was cool and wanted to share it with you all.
Although it isn't much, it is neat to hear back from a player on the
Jets, and think that he might come and check out this [...]

As mentioned previously, Herm Edwards was back home in Cali for his annual football camp. It looks like during his time out there, Coach Herm recently attended a prayer breakfast in Monterey, CA.
To
hear some of the quotes in this article, it is clear why players
respond to Herm. It isn't that he is such a [...]

Who says there is no news about football during this time of the year?
ESPN's Len Pasquarelli writes about the way Chad Pennington recently talked to a California Newspaper (The Monterey Herald) about his recovery from his off-season shoulder surgery.
From reading the reports, it's clear that Pennington didn't beat around the bush.
During his interview, he spoke [...]

Patriots
Owner Robert Kraft (probably wanting to show off) during a business
trip to Russia let the Russian Prime Minister, Vladmir Putin, put on
his two week old Superbowl Ring, and Putin thought it was a gift. Ooops! Didn't expect that to happen, huh Robby?
So now, Kraft's brand new 2005 4.94 carat ring (the biggest in [...]

Ripped directly from USA Today's Ty Law player profile.
The
Chiefs are still interested in Ty Law, but they want to make sure he's
over his broken left foot and will be willing to sign at a dramatically
reduced price, according to the Kansas City Star. “The thought
is to play the whole scenario out,” Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said,
“and [...]

Saw this story
today and thought it was cool to see the Jets bringing Mo & Marvin
back to retire as Jets, with the intention to honor them during the
upcoming season. Marvin & Mo were great contributors to the Jets
teams of the 90s and I am happy that the Jets organization is doing
this.

Peter King has written a pretty in-depth article
on Ty Law, based on a 45 minute interview he had with him last week.
According to Law, the Jets are in the mix, but there are other teams
who have a greater need, and might have more money. I will do some more
work on this later…

Phew! After a long weekend of moving
into my fiancee's and my new apartment (we are getting married in July)
I pretty much didn't have a moment to spare to pay attention to
anything about the Jets.
This morning I saw this article by Clark Judge on CBS Sportsline, and thought it interesting.
Clark Judge has wrote a [...]

I know this is about the team that send the Jets packing last year, and frankly, I don't care.
Yes, this one has nothing to do with the Jets, but the retirement of Myron Cope, a (capital “L”) Legend in the football community is a sad story and for football announcing, this guy has to be [...]

According to news reports, Ty Law is working out with the Jaguars. From the article:
Vice
president of personnel James Harris told ESPN that he acknowledged a
few weeks ago that the Jags had some “conversations” in-house about Law.
I'll post more if I find anything…

LaMont talked to SI.com about his time with the Jets and looks forward to his career with the Raiders and time with his new teammate, Randy Moss.
In
news from the “I didn't know that!” department, the article mentions
that at one point, Curtis Martin dated Toni Braxton… quite a
girlfriend, way to go Curt!
According to the article, Jordan

This week, Chad is working with his dad's Camp Webb in Knoxville to help out high school players, which he seems to enjoy.
Other than talking about staying injury free this year, Chad mentions young former UT Running Back Cedric Houston, saying:
“I've
watched Cedric a bunch of different times,” Chad said. “I know our
coaches are really excited [...]

This
week marked the culmination of an illustrious one-year career as a Jet
for one of the team's present day legends. Reggie “Mousey” Tongue, the
only player whose nickname perfectly encapsulates his style of play,
whilst touching on the global issue of Chinese Communism, had his contract terminated by the New York Jets.
As
one of Reggie's most vehement critics over [...]
