The Jets Fall 2009

24 Jan 2010

Well, it’s over.  It was a great run, but the Jets did what they always do.  They got my hopes up and then lost at the last possible second.  This time they went as fas as Vinny Testaverde did getting to the AFC championship game in 1999.  That was a miracle season too with Bill [...]

After the Jets game, David Clowney, Wide Receiver NYJ, wrote a twitter message.
“1 play in the 1st Half, 4 plays in the 2nd half . . . A bit disappointed about my playing time but very happy and satisfied about the win.”
For this tweet, he was benched for next Sunday’s game by Coach Rex Ryan.

The UX of the Jets

21 Dec 2008

Every year its the exact same thing.  Over and over and over again.  They Jets get my hopes up.  They show a glimmer of decency.  They look like they could almost play.  Then they break my heart.
The rip my heart right out of my rib cage, then they throw it in the ground and stomp [...]

Wow, legendary quarterback Brett Farve joins the New York Jets.  I am excited and fearful all at the same time.  I think the Jets have all of the right ‘talent’ on the field, but will they have the chemistry?  Will they stay healthy?  A few injuries will tank the whole team.
This is an exciting season.  [...]

Well, it’s that time of year again where I predict things and get them all wrong.  Here we go.
Democrat VP Picks. I predict Caroline Kennedy.  I think Joe Biden would be solid too.  If its Caroline, then Joe will sign on for Secretary of State.
Republican VP Picks. Joe Lieberman (Boo!).  Maybe Mike Bloomberg.
2008/2009 NFL [...]

Jets Picks 2008

28 Apr 2008

I am not thrilled with the Jets overall performance this weekend.  The first pick, Vernon Gholston, DE  made me happy.  Their are some questions about him, but he seems very talented.  However, it was was all lame after that.  The next pick they traded up 6 spots to get a guy that would have been [...]

Jets

10 Mar 2008

The Jets have made some great free agency moves.  My general philosophy is that a team lives and dies on the line.  O-line got improved with Alan Faneca.  I expect D’Brick and Mangold to improve dramatically with Faneca in between them.  They need his veteran presence.  This will lead to Thomas Jones (RB) to having [...]

Vinny Testaverde

10 Oct 2007

The Carolina Panthers brought in Vinny Testaverde to back up David Carr. Jake Delhomme had his season cut short by injury and David Carr is banged up too. This means Vinny might see some MORE playing time.  He is now 43 years old!
About Vinny: The 6-foot-5 Testaverde certainly brings experience. He ranks sixth [...]

Rooting for Losing

7 Oct 2007

I have officially given up on the 2007 Jets season.  I want them to lose very single game.  I do not want them to go 8-8.  I would like 1-15.  We are aiming for the number one draft pick next year.  Mostly likely, they should trade that pick down and build up some depth in [...]
