Clearly things have been a bit nutty around here lately, for that we apologize, know that I am working on some projects in the background. To that end, there have been a lot of things flying around that we haven't had the time to set right, most especially in the TJB Snarkies category. If you [...]

How About a Round of Applause for Chad!

Well, the saga surrounding the Jets starting QB is over. Chad is Mangini’s man and will start the season under Nick Mangold’s derriere in Nashville.
Lost somewhat in the media hysteria and subsequent chatter concerning Mangini’s “late” choice of Pennington as the starter is the fact that he chose Pennington as the starter at all. [...]

As the QB 'Battle' Continues…

Cannizarro must be on vacation this week, because Serby is working overtime on the Jets lately. In his most recent column, Serby shows us the fun of banging your head against the wall by asking question after question to Pennington & Co. about the lack of an announced QB for the Jets. Serby raises some [...]

First sack for the Jets and it's the [...]
