I wanted to do my blogger thing, albeit a day or so late, and put in some work researching Jaguars wide receiver Jason Hill after he called my home “overhyped.” I was finished pretty quickly. Good luck with that Pro Bowl, bro!
What are you guys up to today?
Do you play Madden NFL 12? Cool. Do you play online? Perfect!
Load up your copy of Madden NFL 12 on the PS3, go online, and join the TheJetsBlog community. (It’s not on the 360, because I don’t play Madden on it. If you’re interested in creating a TJB community for the 360, let me know and we’ll make it TJB official.)
This is especially cool for those of you who avoid the digital gridiron altogether because of unsavory characters on the web. Random matchmaking usually means you’ll end up playing against a jerk who blitzes every down, goes for it on fourth-and-long, and thinks two-point conversions are hilarious. Such is the peril of engaging strangers on the Internet. Let’s avoid that this season.
Gang Green swung and missed on Asomugha this week, it’s a tough pill to swallow but we need to move on. What magic Tanny has needs to be tapped into now.
With negotiations moving forward with Cromartie and Braylon likely not being brought back the Jets will be looking for more help.
Let’s play GM for a moment. Knowing what our needs are, what would be your top three moves?

Let’s imagine, for the sake of argument, that somehow, after negotiations finally end, we end up with another cap-free year. And the Jets front office finds itself with an unlimited amount of cash it can use to go after any free agent it desires. Who would the team chase? Who would you want them to chase? In this post, I describe my dream 2011 Jets roster. It’ll never happen, but on a lazy Indepedence Day weekend, it’s fun to speculate. More after the jump.
Tagged edwards, free agency, holmes, lockout |You should know them well by now. The 12 Angry Mascots are back with a new Atom video, featuring non-Jets Raheem Brock and Chester Pitts (hence, the Audible), and the locked-out NFL’ers are spending their time crank calling the Commish.
Which leads into the question I’m here to pose to you today. Consider this an open thread of sorts. What would you say in a 10-second crank call to Roger Goodell?
You know, it’s funny. Prior to last week, we had ripped off five straight wins, were in a three-way tie for the league’s best record, and everybody had us on top of the world. Today? Bill Simmons has us ranked ninth in his Power Rankings, accompanied by a 14pt. headline alluding to, uh, male dysfunction. Sure, it’s only Simmons, and you know he had a smile wider than Rex’s gut when he got to put New England all alone at the top, but this is not a localized phenomenon. We lose one game, albeit in embarrassing shutout fashion, and people are suddenly racing for the exit like the theater’s on fire.
Maybe last week was a precursor to a second-half collapse. Or maybe SI’s Jim Trotter called it right, and we wind up carrying last week’s goose egg all the way with us to the Super Bowl postgame championship podium.
We’re halfway there. What do you think? Can the Jets catch the Patriots to win the division? Does the offense ever improve? Will LT stay this good? Will Revis get back to his A-game? Have we been exposed, or are there greater things ahead for the Jets?
Call it like you see it!
The guys at the 12 Angry Mascots love working with the Jets, and the Jets love working with them.
Tony Richardson will become the fourth member of Gang Green to take the stage with 12AM, joining them for a fun-filled evening of sports comedy and satire on Monday, September 27, tonight at the Gotham Comedy Club in Chelsea. Past Jets guests include Darrelle Revis and Jerricho Cotchery, as well as former defensive captain Kerry Rhodes.
Follow through the jump for details and video of J. Co’s skit back in July.
Our team’s season opener is FINALLY here. The wait is over. No more contract talk. No more Hard Knocks reactions. No more obsessing over Tweets (for now, maybe). Just straight up Jets football. The summer’s heat and drama was irritating enough, and now it’s time to take in the relief.
I’ll be attending Edge Shaving Gel’s Anti-Irritation Zone Monday Night Football event tonight in New York, where I’ll be relieved to see our team on the field. Edge’s Anti-Irritation campaign has been taking place all summer. In fact, one of my interns wrote about the campaign’s “most irritated” cities campaign back in July. Guess which city is the fourth-most irritated? Baltimore! As for New York, the Big Apple has the most irritating commute (so someone let us know how the whole rail commute to the stadium is, please).
Before I return later tomorrow to share some snapshots and notes from the event (which will feature comedian John Caparulo, PS3 competitions and incentives for every Jets TD), I’d like to hear from readers what they are most relieved about today.
For instance, I am going to be sooooooo relieved to see Big Jinx out on the field. As much as I was hoping to see David Harris get a contract extension this summer, I am going to be sooooooo relieved when I see him deliver a big hit that sends a message to the league that he’s a tackling machine no matter what contract he has.
With all the drama behind us now, what are you relieved about now that the season is here? I want to hear from you.
Check out the latest from TJB’s good friends, the 12 Angry Mascots, as they nail down some good-natured, NFL-inspired satire on Atom.com.
It’s Sunday, it’s not quite football season yet, and I’m convinced we can always use a good laugh.
After hearing Rex Ryan’s speech, I decided it would be a good idea if we started every day with this adrenaline coursing through our veins. So I turned the last 20-or-so seconds of Ryan’s speech into a ringtone. It’s bumped the otherworldly Antoine Dodson as my alarm, homeboy.

With the signing of 40 year old veteran Mark Brunell, the Jets are now carrying five quarterbacks heading into training camp. Obviously, there will be an odd man or odd men out in this equation but the question is who?
Clemens has a vast knowledge of Brian Schottenheimer’s system however he has been shaky when his services were required (i.e. vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers in ’09). Erik Ainge has yet to see his NFL debut and though he has shined in the preseason, we need to remember that it is against the backups and the backup’s backups. O’Connell, a product of the Patriots 2008 draft, has yet to see any action in a Jets uniform (aside from practice of course) however after giving up a late round pick to the Lions, you would think the Front Office would have seen something in him besides information on the Patriots offensive tendencies.
Beyond Sanchez, in my opinion, there really is no clear cut viable option at this point. With that said, someone’s head will be on the chopping block and we here at TJB would like to know what your thinking? What will become of Sanchez’s backups?

For those of you still on the fence about whether or not you enjoy laughter, here’s a pic of Jerricho Cotchery rehearsing his lines for tonight’s performance at the Gotham Comedy Club with the 12 Angry Mascots’ own Scott Rogowsky. As expected, Cotchery is a complete professional about it, and is absolutely dedicated to giving Jets’ fans a great performance.
He’ll also be sitting down for a live interview to conclude the show. Those of you who can’t wait for football season and want in on some action early shouldn’t miss out.
Also in attendance tonight will be Dustin Keller, along with some other players. So come by and share some laughs with fan favorites before the pads get strapped on and things get serious.
Proceeds will benefit J. Co’s and his wife Mercedes’ Cotchery Foundation, an initiative to help underprivileged children succeed and realize their dreams.

Where: Gotham Comedy Club, 208 W. 23rd (bet. 7th and 8th), NY, NY 10011
