I Link, Therefore I am

I went out in search of some Jet-related material, which is no simple task at this time of the year. What I found ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous…
Brick (based on his size, agility and martial arts prowess) is the 2nd seed and Gholston faces a tough first round match-up in the KSK [...]

Camp Dates Set?

Although I can’t find anything on the Jets’ website, Scout.com is reporting dates on the Jets training camp.  This year, the Jets have set two separate dates for arrivals, one for the rookies, and one for the vets.  Here are the dates as follows.

D’Brick Gives Back to HS Students

Newsday reports that hometown Jet D’Brickashaw Ferguson has started a charity to help Long Island students with scholarships.

Wayne Hunter, Madden Morale Demigod

Madden ‘09 has released their rankings for players. I can see how players would be offended on their rankings, but this is one of those things where it’s pretty subjective to determine just how just how much agility a certain player has in the NFL.  A fact I’ve not been dissauded from since Devin Hester [...]

In my weekly NFL Junky column, I will start by profiling every division, and who has the best chance to win. This week’s division is the AFC West. 
The Chargers look to the retain the title this year after a solid season last year. Quarterback Philip Rivers and RB LaDainian Tomlinson look to be the leaders [...]

One Step Closer to PSLs

Jane McManus, of the The Journal News, agreed to simulcast a post this week as I was out, on this blog, as well as her Jets blog.  I wish she bore better news, as you’ll see in the team’s answer below.  Apparently according to Jane, Cash Rules Everything Around Meadowlands…

The Giants will be charging season [...]
