The culture of a team is so important. The NY Jets “culture” has been, for sure the past few years, of getting up and playing with emotion against top flight teams and rivals, and then coming out flat after being told how great they are, or that this was a “regular” game. It takes a […]
“The NY Jets are doing so much to encourage fan involvement compared to the Giants!” This was music to my ears, talking to fans, as I sat at the free Green and White Scrimmage last night at Met Life Stadium. Fans on the field as players come out the tunnel, fans holding the huge flag, […]
Congratulations to the NFL’s First Female Coach, Jen Welter! As I sit in the living room of a player (and his wife) who was a famous part of my draft history, a story comes across the TV screen about The Arizona Cardinals hiring an assistant LB coach as an intern for the summer. I didn’t know […]
The Narrative 4 players walked away from their NFL careers the past 2 weeks without being cut. Of course all the news stations that rarely cover sports are jumping on this as “the end of the NFL and football!” The Truth I beg to differ with their conclusions. Each one of these is different and […]
What an amazing Super Bowl! It lived up to all the hype and ended up with the most questionable call that cost the Seattle Seahawks the victory. I’m no Patriot fan but I do believe the greatness of Tom Brady was on display in that game, but especially the fourth quarter, bringing the Patriots from […]
As usual, the unpredictable happened. Rex Ryan is now the Head Coach of the Buffalo Bills. Reports had been flowing about Rex going to ESPN, CBS, maybe the 49ers but almost for sure, since supposedly Arthur Blanks loved him, to the Atlanta Falcons to become their new Head Coach. I woke this morning, turned on […]
I know it’s only one victory, but beating the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday, 20-13 meant so much more than that. TURNOVERS! The Jets only had 3 the first 8 games but got 4 yesterday and did not turn the ball over themselves. No matter how well our defense plays, without turnovers to help a struggling offense, […]
I was sitting at home on Friday afternoon, watching “Pardon the Interruption” on ESPN, when I got a phone call from my son Chris, in Orlando. “Mom, did you hear the Jets got Percy Harvin?” I said yeah, right, that has to be a joke. But, within a few minutes, the news was all over Twitter! […]
Last year the players decided, though late in the year, to unite to win to make sure Coach Rex Ryan would be retained as Head Coach of the New York Jets. They won their last two games, including a victory to knock the Miami Dolphins out of the playoffs. Remember the celebration in the locker […]
Tough Sledding When the NY Jets were at training camp in Cortland this past summer, a bunch of loyal Jet Fans would sit outside the Country Inn Suites Hotel and discuss the “murderous” Jets schedule. After all agreeing that the Jets would defeat the Raiders on opening day, the consensus was it was imperative to […]
