I'm curious.

Why is this story widely being described as "Controversial"?

How does the same-sex aspect of teh case change that an 18 year old screwing (in any way) a 14 year old is Pedophilia at worst, statutory rape at best?

Men suffer the consequences of these types of laws all the time, for age relations alot close to equal than 18/14.

What part of this really makes it "controversial" to prosecute? ]]> Politics and World Events Churchill http://www.jetsinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256301 Your Favorite War Movie to Enjoy WHile Watching Wife Get Fat,and How Come Cimini http://www.jetsinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256300&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 19:23:20 GMT Gets to Keep his Job.

He started the chirping culture as a way to cast off the shrill of Mangini. It may be hard to do with the razor thin "note" requirements that editors require these days, but let's suppose for a second, this quote is attributed to a real NY Jet. The last 24 hours of coverage, which should be focused on OTA's, are now on "Anonymous Jet" calling for the benching of Sanchez, and as a result, a lot of outrage against the Coward Jet has spurned from mostly the fan base. Yesterday in an online chat, Rich Cimini confirmed what many in the media know, that John Idzik will not rebut the quote, because he is not going to "Chase Ghosts."

I think if this stuff is supposed to stop, Rex has to go. To send a real message, they need for a moment to stop worrying about cutting guys like Mike Goodson; you need to cut the head off the snake. These days, what kind of credibility could Rex even have with his locker room, or colleagues? ]]> The JI Garbage Dump BleedGreen314 http://www.jetsinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256293 Great ESPN article on Jets draft http://www.jetsinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256292&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 15:43:37 GMT There's a great piece on ESPN insider on the jets draft. titles 'why joe nameth is wrong. drafting geno smith was anything but a mistake'.

makes 5 main points:

1) jets maximized chance to compete now by improving defense in draft;

2) jets maximized draft board value, didn't reach for offensive skill players;

3) jets figured the wrs they have, when healthy, are better than what they could have drafted;

4) taking geno in the 2nd round maximizes cost/benefits of qb risk;

5) taking geno in 2nd round doesn't prevent them, salary cap wise, from drafting another qb next year.

very level-headed, reasoned article, defending idzik's draft and the decision to take geno. ]]> The Landing Strip: All NY Jets and NFL - 24/7 augustiniak http://www.jetsinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256292 The not ready for Prime Time Jets :) http://www.jetsinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256291&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 15:20:04 GMT A cute article covering some not so cute moments but I enjoyed in anyways :) http://turnonthejets.com/2013/05/108-day-new-york-jets-warning-no-prime-time-games/#more-14658 When I was younger... A cute article covering some not so cute moments but I enjoyed in anyways :)

http://turnonthejets.com/2013/05/108...es/#more-14658

When I was younger there was nothing more exciting than seeing prime-time games on the upcoming schedule for the New York Jets…particularly home games. I would immediately pester my Uncle and Dad to allow me to attend the game and count the days until they arrived. Even the away games were mini-events of staying up late and running around the house like a maniac celebrating things like the Monday Night Miracle.

Prime-Time games are always a nice chance to feel like your team matters. They are showcases in successful seasons. They are an oasis in miserable seasons because at least there is something to look forward to.

Over the past two seasons, prime-time has been a nightmare for the Jets. They won their season opener in 2011 against Dallas at home and since then they are 0-6 including a handful of BRUTAL losses…actually arguably five of their six most brutal losses of the past two seasons.
•34-17 to Baltimore – The Collin Baxter Game, which I’m pretty sure permanently damaged Mark Sanchez.
•37-16 to New England – The Rob Ninkovich Game.
•17-13 to Denver – TEEEEEEE-BOOOOOWWWWWWW.
•23-17 to Houston - Not that bad comparatively.
•49-19 to New England - No words needed.
•14-10 to Tennessee - When Mark Sanchez had 14 turnovers in the final 4 minutes.

Needless to say, my enjoyment for prime-time games has worn off, particularly attending them. Unfortunately I am now a grumpy old man who complains about things like traffic, crowded trains and getting up early for work. In 2011, myself and fellow TOJer Rob Celletti attended the Jets/Patriots Sunday Night loss, leaving us dead exhausted for work on Monday after getting back to NYC late. I finally felt back to normal by Thursday, when of course it was time to go meet Rob and other friends at a NYC bar for Jets/Broncos. TEEEE-BOWWW! Dead exhausted for work on Friday.

After attending the butt-fumble game last year on top of that, you can imagine me being content with zero Jets home primetime games this year and only two total (at New England in week 2 and at Atlanta in week 5). The Jets will be double digit underdogs in both of those games, so I can watch from the comfort of my living room with low expectations and hope to be pleasantly surprised. ]]> The Landing Strip: All NY Jets and NFL - 24/7 LIJetsFan http://www.jetsinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256291 Your Favorite War Movies http://www.jetsinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256290&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 14:44:16 GMT As you might imagine, I'm partial to WWII films myself, but too young to have seen many of the "classics" of the genre.

My own list:

1. Saving Private Ryan
2. Braveheart (despite it's gross inaccuracy in places and cheesy lovestory extra).
3. Katyn
4. Defiance
5. Valkyrie
6. The Gathering Storm/Into the Storm
7. War Horse (if you excise the "Irish/British Poverty Drama" that bookends the film).
8. Enemy at the Gates
9. The Last Samurai

And special note for "Band of Brothers" on HBO, which was a miniseries not a film, but was utterly brilliant.

So, suggest some great films, list your own favorites. I know I've missed many a good film, so I hope to get some great suggestions to check out on demand. ]]> The Hangar: Off-Topic Forum Churchill http://www.jetsinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256290 Boardwalk Re-Opening At The Jersey Shore http://www.jetsinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256289&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 12:23:23 GMT Watching this on the Today show, pretty amazing how far it's come in less than a year.

ESPN is laying off a large number of employees on Tuesday, according to report from Deadspin. A source told the website that the amount of layoffs could be in the hundreds.

ESPN issued a statement on the layoffs, via Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated.

"We are implementing changes across the company to enhance our continued growth while smartly managing costs. While difficult, we are confident that it will make us more competitive, innovative and productive."
James Andrew Miller, co-author of "Those Guys Have All The Fun," and John Ourand of Sports Business Journal also tweeted about the layoffs.
