Rex giveth and Rex taketh away. As are the rules in Florham Park, if you get a game ball, then get a national award, your ball gets redistributed to a teammate.
The Rex Rules are the rules, and one rule says that if you get a game ball on Monday for your play on Sunday but [...]

Sorry friends, but it’s soapbox time!
It seems that some fans are ready to cut off their own nose to spite their face because the Jets have relocated facilities over the past year.
Join us, with some quotes from a scorned fan in the Post, after the jump …

Corey mentioned and opined on Mike Florio trotting out another tired takedown piece on the Jets. In Florio’s article, he continues to say what he’s already been saying since last summer, that Tannenbum is going could be fired this year … just like he did last year. But this time he’s serial. (Super serial?)
Let’s let [...]

Here’s my take on the stories that will be watched closely by the beaties at today’s first minicamp of the 2009 season.
Change in Coaching Dynamic? — Mangini used to plod around, chew gum incessantly and hold a clipboard and look generally sullen. How does Rex Ryan’s demeanor on the field compare? Is he energetic, is [...]

As we head towards the draft, we’re going to look the position groups to assess the current roster, before determining who the team should look at in the draft.

Thanks to the many Jets fans who helped out with trying to help Larry Grantham get his ring back. It seems that the story has a good ending, but the plot still isn’t totally unfolded, but I can guess.

With the hiring of Doug Plank, commenter nyckage noted that he wasn’t all that familiar with what the 46 defense was. So, we thought it would be a good idea to explain a little bit about the enigmatic 46 to TJB readers. Since the 46 defense is, in a way, the “half-brother” of our new [...]

Despair! It’s the inevitable contrarian with the Worst Case Scenario column to make you even more miserable.
Filip Bondy of the Daily News wrote today about how the Jets and Favre might be stuck with each other but let’s look at the heart of his column, FJM style:

Favre spoke to the press today and answered questions about Miami, about Pennington and about his undecided future with the Jets. He’s not saying anything, we haven’t heard from Favre before.

The 2008 Brett Favre World Tour came crashing to a halt in Seattle tonight.
But even though Favre’s still throwing crossfield backfooted interceptions, and even though Schottenheimer refuses to ride his true horse, and even though Coles seemingly dropped more passes than he caught, and even though the Jets punted instead of kicking a crucial field [...]
