The New York Jets will always dominate the sports pages in New York / New Jersey, but too often it’s not because of great play on the field. There have been some exciting years – in the 1980’s with the beloved record breaking “Sack Exchange” but losing the AFC championship game 14-0. Coach Don Shula […]
Actions speak louder than words. This is something some people never seem to learn, especially in today’s world of “soundbites” and that the more one talks, the more attention they get for fame. The NY Jets vs Buffalo Bills game had the feel of a playoff game for many reasons. Though it was only the […]
I will really miss D’Brickashaw Ferguson. The finality of his retirement from the New York Jets tomorrow at his press conference will be tough to take. The NFL has always been said to stand for “not for long” and through my 50 years of being a diehard Jets fan, you’d think the end of a […]
It’s 6 hours after my New York Jets lost to the Buffalo Bill 22-17, and I’m still going through so many different thoughts and emotions. All week before the game, all I kept reading or hearing on TV was how the Jets would easily win and clinch their first playoffs since 2010. I was very nervous […]
“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, […]
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 […]
