Happy BlogDay

Apparently, today is BlogDay…
I think I am supposed to give you five links to blogs that I like, here goes.
Metsblog.com
- I am a Yankees fan and I read this site… I have no idea how Cerrone
keeps his posts constantly firing off all day, he is like an
uberblogger.

about 800 readers a day now) and to hear more thoughts from you, the
fans.
We wanted to let you loyal readers know, we at thejetsblog.com

Jets Cut Alan Harper

From the Jets Official Website, DT Alan Harper has been cut.
This now leaves some wiggle room for McGill to make it through, who will still be the #5 DT on the roster…

Predictions: TSN Picks Jets to Lose SB

A pundit is picking the Jets to lose the SuperBowl.
Eh? A Pundit is picking the Jets to lose the SuperBowl?!
A PUNDIT IS PICKING THE JETS TO LOSE THE SUPERBOWL!!!!
There
is no excuse to settle, but one has to get some boost to think of the
Jets as the AFC Champions, let alone playing in a SuperBowl… [...]

Jason Taylor Back on Jets Fans

One of my very first posts on this blog was about Jason Taylor and his take on Jets fans, and now he is back at it again talking some garbage about our fan base
in some snow-cone article in the Miami Herald… if writers can pass
this off for major markets as “sports journalism” give me a [...]

Takes on Abraham

From around the Blogosphere, I looked for some folks posting on the news regarding John Abraham, to read some other fans opinions hit the links to their sites below:
Jets Streams: (No, not nj.com's “Jet Streams” which, by the way, is the best name hands down ever
for a Jets blog…) Mick muses on his AOL Journal [...]

John Abraham #94 Jersey Firesale

With
Abe now taking on the almost heretical #56 (and this from a Giants
hater), here is your chance to buy a “throwback” or maybe “throwaway”
jersey.
Get the now defunct John Abraham #94 Jersey for only $15 from the Jets Online Store and you could use it for the following purposes:

Use it to do your fall yardwork in [...]

Sad But True…

I had to post this cartoon from Newsday….

Close Up: Bryan Thomas

With John Abraham now back in the fold, Newsday looks at Bryan Thomas and the strides he has made in Abraham on the sidelines last season and holding out this year.

NFLP Journal: Chad Pennington 8/29/05

Chad updated his web journal
on the NFL Players' site telling us that the Giants game was a
“learning experience” but he does look on the bright side and tell us
that his “shoulder feels good. If there�s any positive it would be that
I got banged around and was able to bounce back.”
Glad to hear that at least…

Herm Edwards Press Conference 8/29/05

Herman Edwards held a conference to talk about some topics to reporters today, to listen to the conference hit the link on the center of the Jets homepage.
To just read the highlights, check this article at MSG.
Here are my notes on Herm's Press Conference:

Herm stated practices since Friday have been good and he is pleased [...]

Abraham (Reportedly) Ends Holdout

Newsday reports that John Abraham has at last signed his franchise tender.
Of
course, Newsday is the same source that had a false report last week,
but on this occasion, the news comes from the agents, rather than “a
source” and the official site confirms the news.
I
wonder if the stuff about him changing his number was baloney too.
Maybe we'll [...]

Pennington Still Learning

Newsday reports that Pennington doing his best to learn the new system,
but has progress to make in the passing game, because in Hackett's
system he would systematically progress through reads, while in
Heimerdinger's system, he is supposed to read the matchups and throw
the ball to the right spot.
Pennington feels that his hesitancy
caused the errors and he states [...]

Edwards Not Sure About Abe

Herm Edwards stated that he has no idea if John Abraham will or won't show up to practice today. Edwards didn't give more than a short “I have no idea.”
I would hope he shows, but I am not holding my breath…

Graham a Wideout Too?

Kit Stier reports on new punter, Ben Graham's ability to keep punt returners confused and Herm's possible desire to work him in as a wideout for some “Hail Mary Plays.” Said Edwards of the punter:
“We
kind of laugh at our guys, and they see it every day in practice and
they can't catch it, our guys are [...]
