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 [...]

Are the Jets still interested in Ty Law? It doesn’t seem to be the case, but it’s hard to know definitively, as he had visited with the team earlier this offseason, but past that, there haven’t seemed to been any serious offers made by any team.
With Justin Miller practicing with the first team, the Jets [...]

Kevin Collazo was kind enough to send his thoughts in this week about what he expects from this season … enjoy.
Throughout the history of our beloved franchise, I think it’s safe to say that the good times have consistently been the recipients of the proverbial shake down, noogies, wedgies, and even embarrassing moments in front [...]

We got some good responses from the AFC West junkie, and despite recent talk that I have been cheating my way into giving you an informative look at each division, the NFL Junkie Gate issue has been put to rest. Let’s do the AFC East.
And respectfully so, we start with the Patriots, who once again [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Wow, you know there really is nothing out there when beat writers like Erik Boland of Newsday (E-Bola, as Bassett has christened him) is writing about a Jets outing to the Eisenhower Park driving range.
Things we now know:
Vernon Gholtson is a lefty.
Erik Ainge’s finger is doing better.
Ainge also apparently knows something about using an open-faced [...]

As any of you who are actually swinging past this site in the dead of June know, this is the true nadir of the off-season. OTAs and mini-camp are over, and all the players and coaches have dispersed, vacationing everywhere from Sioux City to Cape Cod.
Simply, there ain’t much going on.
So now seems like like [...]

Michael David Smith, writer extraordinaire of FanHouse, ProFootballTalk and Football Outsiders to name just a few was kind enough to write a guest post for TJB this week. In this post, MDS looks back at Richard Todd.
The game is now more than a quarter century old, so there’s a whole generation of Jets fans who [...]

From Pelzman’s latest column:
What would happen if the Jets and Giants swapped unhappy tight ends?
…
the Jets would have to throw in something else. Well, they do have an extra fourth-rounder in next year’s draft, from trading disgruntled Pete Kendall to Washington. See, it all ties together.
Pelzman makes an interesting case, but there are a few [...]
