Daily Links: Bake Just Got Shaked (Down)
- Mangini just fined Chris Baker $1500 for being four minutes late to a meeting last week.
- Cimini thinks Revis will be on the field today.
- Tanny credits some of his staff for ‘creative solutions’ and the Cheesecake Factory for helping get the Revis deal worked on.
- JetsLocker thinks the Jets are looking good at WR.
- JetsCentral has some great audio links from Mike Francesa’s visit to camp.
- Boo hoo! Maroney only got a 91 in speed! Stop whining, you babies!! It’s a game, for crap’s sake!!
- Jeremy Shockey’s left hand is purple (link fixed), and no … not for the reason you’re thinking (well maybe that too).
- LenDale has laid off the Gorditas, thus making him less gordo (that’s Spanish for fat).

I don’t know about Maroney’s speed rating, but he’s certainly earned a 95 in the “jacka^&” category. Cant wait for David Harris to introduce him to Mr Forearm Shiver…

Maroney should be glad with that speed rating. Mine’s only a 12! I have been thinking of calling EA Sports and letting them know that I can get off my butt to the refrigerator to swipe a beer MUCH faster than that. At least faster than Bassett, and his rating is undoubtedly higher.

Tom Rock is a funny guy…
“You may have heard on one of the radio interviews this afternoon that deciding on the dinner menu was one of the great compromises of the day-long negotiations. Apparently Tannenbaum wanted to eat at 6 o’clock and the Revis camp was holding for five. Most of the other first-rounders taken around Revis eat at 5. No word on how Nissim and Davidson split the difference there.”
Bent, you have competition!!

I’m sorry guys, but the Jets are going to suck this year (no more easy schedule). They will start out 0-2 (New England and Baltimore) and then show that last year really was a fluke. I have them ranked pretty low in my NFL Power Rankings @ http://www.scrappernation.com

What a shameless plug! Who the hell are you and why should I care what you say about the NFL? I’m going to intentionally not click on your link, because then you’d get what you came for.

Mangini during the Francesa interview said that Jones’ injury was “day-to-day” not “week-to-week” (per Rosenhaus) and did not rule him out for Friday. This, of course, could be more misdirection, but it didn’t sound like he was concerned about it.

yea, you suck scrapper.
send e-mails or something, but no one wants to read your generic garbage.

To give you a short synopsis so you don’t have to click, “The Scrapper” gives the Jets a ranking of 18. His reasoning is because the Jets had “The easiest schedule of the year” last year.
The truth is that the Chicago Bears had the easiest schedule of the year, followed by the Packers, Seahawks, and Vikings (source: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2399476).
Additionally, ESPN’s power rankings have the Jets rated 12th. (source: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/powerranking).
I agree that the Jets have a good chance of going 0-2 the first two games. The Jets last year had a hard time shutting off Willis McGahee in both outings. We’ll have to see how much of an impact Moss will have with Brady. There’s some variables there for sure.
But going 0-2 doesn’t mean the season’s over, as you indicate. There’s been teams with 0-2 starts. The ’93 Cowboys, and the ’01 Patriots both had 0-2 starts and won Super Bowls. I’m not saying my beloved Jets are going to the Super Bowl per se, but you cannot base their chances based on 2 games early in a very long season, and toss them behind haphazard teams like the Rams, Giants, and 49ers. Lots of stuff can happen to lots of teams, and will happen, and will change their season’s outlook.
It’s nice you’re writing a blog, but do some research instead of throwing darts at a dart board. I think the Jets are appropriately ranked between 10 and 12 right now, and my data backs it up.
Good sports writers read the facts before formulating opinions, that’s all I am saying. :)
I’m intrigued by the Shockey thing, so please fix the link. I doubt Baker’s fine is the reason for Shockey’s hand’s indigocity.
Is it because Plaxico Burress sat on it whilst they were practicing their FG celebrations?
