The fourth quarter has been the bane of the Jets’ 2008 season. They have been outscored 91-38, and we can recite the games they’ve blown by heart.
So, when Redskins running back Clinton Portis came out and said that when his team was down by 14 points in the fourth quarter against the Jets, he “felt [...]

It seems that Jets owner Woody Johnson needs to have permission to land his helicopter near the team’s practice facility at Hofstra University.
The story is that when Johnson took his helicopter to the facility over the summer, Hofstra officials weren’t sure if it was allowed for him to do so. They later checked with Hempstead [...]

Since there is no Jet game today because of the bye week, we are spared for at least one week the disappointment and anguish of watching our favorite football team struggle through another contest.
So the question is: What do we do today to fill in the gap?
Obviously, there are many good games to choose from [...]

As we move now toward this Sunday’s game against the Redskins, let’s not forget that former Jet Pete Kendall will be the starting left guard for Washington.
Of course, we certainly remember the histrionics between Kendall and the Jet management, including Coach Mangini and GM Mike Tannenbaum. Kendall wanted his contract restructured and was quite vocal [...]

Is Tom Brady “really” hurt?

News out of Patriots camp is that Tom Brady had to miss some practice time yesterday because his right shoulder was bothering him.
Jet fans have to be skeptical about this–Brady’s name is almost always on the weekly injuy report, so I wouldn’t be game-planning for Matt Cassel just yet.
Plus, Bill Belichick could be making an [...]

I ran across this item the other day and it sort of made me feel sad for my all-time favorite sports hero, and I’m sure for many others as well, Number 12–Joe Willie Namath.
