You want the Dolphins to win and the Jets to lose. So that makes you a Dolphin fan. Am I missing something? You seem like a very angry person, or a teen boy whose hormones are raging. If you're a teen then I guess you'll probably be ok. But if you're an adult, I'd suggest speaking with a professional. There is obviously some other issue in your life making you this way. A healthy person doesn't obsess for months about the cutting of a QB from his favorite team. Fonzie, why didn’t you answer the question? You want the Dolphins to win and the Jets to lose.

I have covered college football in the Big 12 and the SIDs make it a point to announce before the game something to the effect of "This is a professional working press box. Any cheering will result in loss of privileges and expulsion." The announcer in the box is always good too, and having stats given to you and info for every play is really nice. I miss it when I watch a game in the stadium or on TV. I'm guessing they took at look at your credentials and said, "He's a blogger. Let him go. We won't give him credentials again anyway." That's no knock on you, it's just a reflection of the state of professional Media Relations these days - they genuinely don't like allowing bloggers into their world. As for the Jets/Giants press box, I've been there before, and it's definitely one of the nicest of all the stadiums I've been to. Big 12 schools with more successful programs (i.e. Oklahoma) have horrible press boxes in that they're very tight and uncomfortable - you definitely got to experience the luxury of the NFL!

I'm serious. You are obviously not a Jet fan. You want the Jets to lose. So go blog at the Phinsider,and you will be surrounded with tons of people who also want the Phins to beat the Jets. I am being 100% serious with you. I don't understand why you are here. Fonzie, why aren’t you a Dolphin fan? I’m serious. You are obviously not a Jet fan. You want the Jets to lose.

I'll do it at the halfway point of the season. I've seen a few of each of their games and will actually see Abe in person this Sunday. I have made comments about all three over the last few weeks. In short, Robertson hasn't done much statistically and did miss a game, Vilma has been playing a bunch and has tons of tackles (and even had a few impact plays) and Abe made a fast start and was leading the league in sacks, but has slowed down the last few weeks (10 tackles, 1 sack in the last four games). In terms of the draft, nobody knows what the Robertson conditions are (potential sixth rounder) and I think Vilma was based on 80% playing time (which he should easily surpass), but unless the Saints re-sign him before the draft it will just be a fourth rounder. If they do re-sign him, the Jets will get a third or a second (and if it's a second they'll give up their fourth). Rich – Good idea. I’ll do it at the halfway point of the season.

LIKE SOMEONE SAID EARLIER "YOU LIVE BY THE GUN. YOU DIE BY THE GUN!!!!" CHAD PENNINGTON WENT INTO FOXBOROUGH AND BEAT TOM BRADY ONE TO ONE WITH AN INFERIOR TEAM IN 2006.

CAN'T WAIT FOR WEEK 16!!!! Najy;
