Last year at this time, New York Jets WR Plaxico Burress didn’t have the choice of when he was able to eat or go outside. But, since being released from prison, he has choices now. Like, whether or not he wants to play with the New York Jets and Mark Sanchez (not totally his choice, [...]
We already know about the issues the New York Jets are having with Mark Sanchez and their possible desire to go after Peyton Manning. But, we couldn’t possibly think that they would be the only team interested in one of the best QB’s in NFL history should be become available. And ESPN‘s Adam Schefter and [...]
In the first two years of the Mark Sanchez/Rex Ryan regime in New York, the Jets made it all the way to the AFC Championship game. No matter how it happened nor how ugly it may have been, they got within a sniff of the Super Bowl in their first two tries. Tough to argue [...]
The New York Giants and the New York Jets are squaring off this weekend in a showdown that’s imperative to both teams’ playoff hopes. They only play once every four years, but because they have to share the New York (and New Jersey. And parts of Connecticut.) spotlight, there is a built-in rivalry there. The [...]
If you drafted Antonio Gates in your NFL fantasy draft this season, you’re probably regretting it. Sure, you knew he had the foot issues when you took him, but he kept saying he would play through the pain so you decided it was fine. Well, it hasn’t been fine. He’s been sitting out for weeks [...]
The return of Santurdio? For the most part, Santonio Holmes has been a good soldier since being traded to the New York Jets. But, you may recall that he recently popped off to Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com and blamed the offensive line for the offense’s struggles. “I may be criticized again for saying it, but [...]
By now we are sure that you’ve heard about Tiki Barber’s attempt to come back to the NFL, despite not having played since 2006. Based on what we’ve seen in the news and the people we’ve spoken to, he needs to come back so he can earn a paycheck. Divorces are a bitch apparently. While [...]
This is great, thanks to OTR’s brother Chad for sending this along. Especially on a day where there weren’t nearly enough incidents of poor drunken behavior to keep us occupied. John Schmitt, the center for the New York Jets when they beat the Baltimore Colts in 1967, lost his Super Bowl ring just years after [...]
By now you’ve surely heard about the Dallas Cowboys fan Sunday night at the New York Jets game. Yeah, the a-hole who brought a taser into the stadium and used it on three different people. But…why on Earth did he have to pull that out? Well, it seems that the fans around him wouldn’t let [...]
Fantasy owners who started Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant this week were very, very encouraged by the dominance the second-year player showed early on. He was proving to be the man-amongst-boys that the Cowboys thought he was when they drafted him in the first round last year. But he got banged up on a first-quarter [...]
The best WR on the market is no longer on the market. The New York Jets have locked up Santonio Holmes with a five-year deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. “Filed to ESPN: WR Santonio Holmes reaches agreement with Jets on a five year deal,” he tweets. Mark Sanchez can rejoice. If they lost [...]
It’s been known for some time that the New York Jets really want to keep WR Santonio Holmes. He’s a free agent right now so the Jets will have to pay him a few bucks to keep him. Especially since sources are telling the NY Daily News that the Washington Redskins have also made Santonio [...]
On Friday, New York Jets free agent WR (that doesn’t make a ton of sense, does it? If he’s a free agent, he’s not a Jet) pleaded guilty to a DWI charge. He said he was just hoping to put it all behind him. Well now, he may be looking to put his jail time [...]
There has been a ton of speculation about ex-New York Giant Plaxico Burress and where he might land now that he’s out of jail and the lockout looks to be coming to an end. Most think either the Eagles or the Jets will be all over him. But will they be bidding against themselves? Matt [...]
Remember 2007? Remember when San Diego Chargers CB Antonio Cromartie was a one-man wrecking crew in the defensive backfield? Kind of a long time ago. Last year, Cromartie played for the New York Jets and was actually pretty good. Especially when you consider teams like to avoid Darrelle Revis and pound it on the other [...]
The NFL should use this weeks weather attention and use it as a warning for future Super Bowls sight selections.
While the media and fans have to sit and listen to the endless posturing of both sides of the NFL labor dispute, nothing continues to get done. There is no new CBA, and the NFLPA and NFL don’t seem to be in any hurry to strike a deal. That will mean that everyone loses. Players, [...]
How ironic. At the beginning of the year, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for four games because the NFL didn’t appreciate it when he forced himself on young coeds. And to finish up the year and their run to the Super Bowl, it looks like Rashard Mendenhall is giving Big Ben the same [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles are set to interview Saints defensive backs coach, Dennis Allen, for the vacant defensive coordinator position. I’m not buying it. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the whole premise behind firing Sean McDermott, aside from his inability to get the job done, was the intent to bring in more experience to the [...]
I should preface this with the fact that I don’t really hate the New England Patriots. Yes, it’s annoying that their fans can be so mouthy and they act like they are still sports victims when it comes to championships. The Celtics just won it all a couple years ago. The Red Sox won in [...]
Any time someone dies, it’s a bad thing. Well….in general. If I could slice the throat of Osama bin Laden, I think that would be okay with most people. But, you know what I mean. I just struggle to see the death of 46-year old New York Jets fan Raymond Larsen as a real tragedy. [...]
You can say whatever you want about the New York Jets, but they aren’t boring. Rex Ryan made a reference to Tom Brady’s finger pointing after touchdowns (he likes to point to the other team’s sideline. At least the Jets anyway) earlier this week saying it was just “Brady being Brady.” Well, cornerback Antonio Cromartie [...]
I’m not a New York Jets fan. Sure, I love their confidence, but you have to back it up on the field… something they have rarely done when it counts. That kind of speaks for the majority of athletes in sports today. So many athletes talk a big game, on and off the field, but [...]
I thought the most-likely retirement and the $50,000 paid to Jenn Sterger was it. I thought Brett Favre was starting to slip out of our lives. Guess what? He’s back. Two former New York Jets massage therapists filed a lawsuit against Favre, the New York Jets, and Lisa Ripi (she hired the massage therapists for [...]
Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre saw his string of consecutive games played snapped at 297 regular season games on Monday. But, that doesn’t mean his streaks are over. Nope, this Monday night, his Vikings will take on the Chicago Bears and he isn’t going to play. That means that he’ll now be at two consecutive [...]
