EEEE HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
Like the cryptkeeper, it’s the story that just won’t die.
Apparently word from Green Bay is that
“The New York Jets are in serious talks with the Green Bay Packers and Brett Favre’s agent about acquiring the legendary quarterback, a source said today.
The Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the only [...]

Here’s some quotes from Jerricho Cotchery today at practice …
On his progress leading up to his big year last season…
It was good to see the progression. Every year I try to get better and better and try to put in the work that I need to put in just to continue to get better [...]

After today’s practice, it might seem that Mangini has had enough nonsense from those darn Tour de Frenchies he’s been gushing about so much recently. This morning’s practice was “not acceptable,” and he’s looking for accountability.
“Look, these (practices) aren’t long comparatively, but come on, it’s a joke compared to what we [did in 2006]. Everybody [...]

Um … so … yeah … we’re just going to link you to Deadspin for all the juicy details.
From hearing him on the radio, I will note that Tom Casale is a bit of an odd bird, but he worked for the Patriots (via their PFW media wing) for more than two years, and would [...]

I told you then and I am telling you now .. there’s something about Dustin.
Baker is just “preparing to play the season.”
Bubba Franks says he’s trying to mentor Keller: “I wish somebody is taking Keller under his wing.
Brad Smith is versatile enough to play several different positions, but coach Eric Mangini says Smith’s top [...]

If there’s one thing we know about our very own D.Rose, it’s that he’ll tell you what he thinks. We can vouch for that when last summer we saw him tell Eric Barton “I’m your only fan!!” In this column, D uses the space as an opportunity speak his mind, from the perspective of a [...]

Andrew Weiss did a good job of giving us a sense of what happened at camp yesterday … OTHER than the rally. Remember, if you are going to check out a practice, it could be worth a $50 Gift Card to Best Buy! Send in your pictures, notes, thoughts, whatever, and we’ll post them up! [...]

Here’s video of Craig Carton, addressing the fans yesterday. Also you can see some player interviews here.
Since we saw the back of it for four minutes, it’s also worth noting, that maybe it’s time for Craig to mix in a new jersey … vote on who you think he should upgrade to in the comments.

Thank you for your patience to the many of you who tried to visit the site last night and this morning and found that your hrowser wanted you to download some weird file. What that was all about was that the site was getting transferred to a high availability server, so now (fingers crossed!!) the [...]

We realize this is has become somewhat … divisive, but it’s about the Jets, so there you have it.
WFAN morning radio host Craig Carton led a rally to “Let’s get Brett.” Carton’s point is that his rally could have been avoided had the Jets endorsed the QBs on their roster, but they didn’t so he [...]

While Lori Rubinson makes practical sense, our friend (and growing NY Sports folk hero) Ted Berg defends the honor of Kellen Clemens on SportsNite.
While I think they both make great points, I’m looking at the season. Yes Pennington might be the favorite to win the job, but how long can he stay healthy? Even [...]

The hamsters who keep this blog powered seem to be a little tuckered out, so sorry for the spate of site crashes you’ve probably experienced.
Ugh … sorry about the server not working for many of you. Although we thought we resolved most of the issues late last week with some script tweaks, it seems that [...]

Matt Matros, Jet fan, author, and really freaking good professional poker player and I chatted last night about the whole situation with Cheese King of Green Bay and how the Jets have played it.
I noted to Matt that Tannenbaum and Mangini are sometimes maddening to me, especially after seeing the news on Gruden blowing his [...]

Hutch of the Star-Ledger writes a feature on new RT Damien Woody. Has the brass seen enough film to make an educated guess?
Jane McManus has some background on new S Ron Girault and notes that Brick got to kick up his heels for winning the offseason conditioning program, not injury.
Mangini’s transcript from yesterday’s presser.
How’s D-Rob [...]
