I call shotgun next to Bassett at Radio City, as I want to be the 2008 version of the confused, irate fan featured in ESPN’s next “Jets Draft Flashback” retrospective.

I already practicing my holy-crap-I-don’t-believe-they-took-that-guy look. Should be a classic…like Blue Steel or Magnum.

Replace Pennington with a quarterback and your banner will be perfect

Bassett,

I think the banner is too much. The red stands out a lot and it is very busy on the left side compared to the subtle right side. Also there isn’t much of a transition to make this work. I know it is not your art, and I don’t want to make it seem horrible because you can tell whoever made it is very talented, but as a banner I’m not sure it works.

Hi all,
I was going to be working on organizing the party with Bassett. Here are the two options that I was thinking about. If we can have a guaranteed turn out we could all pitch in and see about renting out a bar and having an open bar deal, probably like 30-40 bucks all you can drink. If not we can simply meet up at a local place. The turnout looks big so maybe we can post a poll to see what we want to do.
I will be at Radio City

Axel-

Last season, Hobson had 48 solo tackles and 2 sacks, with 3 PD.
Last season, Pace had 80 solo tackles and 6.5 sacks, a FF, 6 PD, and an INT for good measure.

If the contract is true, it’s borderline insanity. But come on- Pace is only slightly better than Hobson?

Jeez, if you thought the clamor for McFadden was fervent before, now it’s going to be ridiculous. I still would prefer Gholston, McKelvin or Jenkins over him, but investing this kind of money into Pace certainly expands the options at #6.

Personally, I think that we need a WR more than anything, and then a CB. If we shore up those two positions, this looks (on paper) like a playoff team, providing that Clemens improves along with the offense.

If Ryan and/or McFadden is available at #6, why not trade down for a guy like Malcolm Kelly? Big, fast, #1 WR with good hands. The Jets haven’t had a guy like that since Keyshawn was around, which, not coincidentally, was the last time they were a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

Now see, this just makes me plain mad. Why on earth would you make a guy who’s only slightly better than what you have (Hobson) one of the highest paid linebackers in NFL history?

Desperate is what i’ll call it. He better be good, really fricking good.
