“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, reward points for so many […]

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 why that was newsworthy until

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 unique on its own. Patrick

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 10 points down against the

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 Sportscenter and there was the

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 room? The Jets better do

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 be 2-2 after the first

Today was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Losing to the Green Bay Packers was not unexpected, having to face the best QB in the NFL Aaron Rodgers at the legendary Lambeau Field. But after scoring touchdowns on our first 3 possessions and leading 21-3, I almost believed this could be a monumental upset. But a football

Beating Oakland opening day was a must and the Jets are now 1-0. Getting the W is what counts in the end, but it shouldn’t have come down to recovering an onside kick to preserve a 5 point victory. Should Have Been a “Rat Kill” As Coach Rex Ryan pointed out so well in the after game press conference, when

Today, it’s for real! The NY Jets open their 2014 season against the Oakland Raiders. I can’t wait. Defense So much has been written about the depleted DB situation, we will finally get to see it get played out on the field. I’m waiting to see how Coach Rex Ryan uses Rookie safety Calvin Pryor. If he’s the upgrade and
