The halfway stage of the season is upon us and although the Jets have exceeded preseason expectations, the overwhelming feeling heading into the bye week is one of disappointment. At least October is finally over.
Let’s get going…
* I was convinced the Jets would lose this week, so it would have been really sweet to [...]

As has looked likely for some time, it seems Curtis Martin is unlikely to return to action this season, so say ESPN.
Logically, it would seem that (assuming this report, which comes from “several players and officials” is accurate) the likelihood of Martin ever playing again is very slim.
It’s not been a great week, has it?

Well, it looks like young Stephen Belichick was caught by some Hot Cops in a Waltham, MA parking lot with some weed. No word yet on whether young Stephen was going to “smoke the marijuana like a cigarette” or he was just buying it for his Uncle Buster’s 60 year old girlfriend who happens to [...]

I certainly don’t know much about Aussie Rules, but I found this clip on YouTube and thought it was kind of funny. Points to the artist using the Biz Markie version of “Benny and the Jets” from the Beastie Boys anthology album, Sounds of Science.
TJB’s eternal gratitude to anyone who can create a Jets’ video [...]

I would have posted sooner, but my internet connection is causing me fits at home. I went out to watch the Jets game and all I can say is that I am pretty disappointed with the result. Partly because the Jets didn’t play up to their potential, but the referreeing was horrendous.
I think that I [...]

What a beautiful freaking day! If you haven’t gotten this so far, Browns fans are stupid, and there are just too many examples to talk about here, but here’s a great example. I mean, this is the only team that’s too cheap to put a logo on the side of their helmet! At least Pittsburgh [...]

In an interesting tailgate conversation article, Randy Lange looks in to the relationship that Kellen Winslow Junior (AKA The “F###in’ Soldier“) has with some of the Jets players, including Chris Baker, who couldn’t convince Winslow to come to East Lansing as ‘The U’ was apparently more his speed.
This week, the Jets DO give a “freaking [...]

Tony Grossi is looking for hope in anything he can find. The same Tony Grossi who earned my ire two years ago.
Credit where credit’s due: Cimini writes a great blog post, starting with thoughts about Mangold versus Ted Washington. Others pick up this story line too.
Interesting article yesterday about Leon Washington on the AP

With the hubbub earlier this week in Cleveland over the firing of O.C. Maurice Carthon, it begs the question, what’s the deal? This team has an extra season of Belichick influence than the Jets, and is headed by the very competent GM Phil Savage and Head Coach Romeo Crennel, but in a side by side [...]

The last time I did this two weeks ago randomly. I thought it would be interesting to take another look to see progress/regress. Certainly not a perfect science (teams throw more when behind, etc.) but gives you a sense of where they are vesus other teams:

The official injury report won’t be out until tomorrow afternoon, but frankly there’s no sense in reporting it once its out. By now, we all know what to expect: 10 or more Jets will be questionable including, in all likelihood, Laveranues Coles with a sore hand. 5 or more Jets will be probable including, in [...]

I’m off work at the moment, so I’ve had plenty of time to reflect on the Jets performance on Sunday. There should be plenty of thoughts to relay then.
Let’s get started…
* It’s been a strange week: Pedro’s midget died, a Tottenham Hotspur player bit someone and Kenny Rogers forgot to wash his hands. However, nothing [...]

Looks like the Jets earned some time off with their win over Detroit.
Bob Glauber rehashes Pennington’s contract and how he is playing good enough to earn back what he lost in his pay cut.
Could Trey Teague actually practice with the team this week?
Things are going swimmingly in Miami!
Gary Baxter is out, probably for a while. [...]
