- An interview with another member of the Flight Crew, Justine who hates it when the toilet seat is up.
- The AFC Wars continue except now everyone can blame it on Sanchez.
- Mark Sanchez has already set his sights for the starting job but will the FO see it his way come September?
- The New England Patriots have gotten a discount while everyone else in the AFC East is paying out millions.
- Randy Lange knows how to use witty titles and this time he continues his series on the AFC East with Special Teams — more specifically Roscoe Parrish.
- Sanchez holds an edge over Stafford & Freeman. O RLY?
- Ready… set … HATE.
- Grab your time machines, it’s time to review the past.
- Thomas Jones is back granting interviews after getting into a ’snit’ about his contract. Oh and bonus: Jenn Sterger.
- First Michael Vick was going to the Patriots now he might be going to the Dolphins. Let me guess next on the List of Maybe’s is the Broncos.

If you look at the voting at the end of the HATE link – the Pats absolutely are dominating the vote.
I have to say with the Fins winning the division last year, the whole Pennington fiasco, etc… it is an interesting debate – who do we hate more? Bitter Betty’s Unite!
I’m not surprised by the high number of votes for the Patriots being the most hated team.
Ummmm. I’m in love with Justine.
I hate the Patriots more than anything. I think it depens on the era you grew up in. If you’re over 30 and was a fan in the 80’s and remember watching those great Jet – Dolphin games and despising Marino, you probably hate the Phins more. If you’re under 30 and grew up during the Parcells-Belicik era, I’m sure you hate the Pats more.
Looking at the Jets TE’s in 2009

Easily the Dolphins are the most hated team. If you asked this same question in 2000, the answer would have been Miami. The Patriots have made it much closer of late due to the fallout from the Parcells/Carroll/Belichick/Mangini eras for both teams, but I actually think the article has it right. Historically the Dolphins are the more hated team. The Patriots 18-1 year tore me up, but I have to say that the only good thing about that season was shutting up Nick Buonicotti and the 1972 Dolphins. Oh and the pretty boys lost in the end too. Too bad it was our cross-stadium rival that gave them their only loss. That’s one season I’d like to forget about…
