It’s officially the worst time of the year. Not only are we without any football, but we are just days away from the beginning of free agency which means all we have to digest is a bunch of unsubstantiated wild speculation about possible free agency acquisitions and potential draft picks. It’s the time of year…
Nick Folk was hoping to get a long-term deal done this offseason, with a significant raise, after playing through four one-season deals. The Jets decided to compromise by placing the franchise tag on the kicker dubbed, “Folk Hero.” Folk won’t get the long-term security he was hoping for, unless the two sides can agree on…
Florham Park, N.J. – For the third straight year the Jets finished the season without qualifying for the playoffs, but this felt different. The past two years the feeling of despair cloaked the air in the locker room, this year the energy purging through the locker room was of hope and jubilation. Hope and jubilation…
East Rutherford, NJ– The Jets dropped their third straight game and the obvious storyline revolves around Geno Smith getting benched at halftime, but equally alarming is the way opposing offenses have figured out how to swiftly attack the Jets and slowly pick them off with simple unders, outs and hitches allowing them to move the…
Florham Park, NJ– Expectations and hope are two similar, but completely different concepts and yet when it comes to the Jets people struggle to recognize the differences.

There’s a new quarterback and for the third…
Florham Park, NJ – Most of the Jets returned to work after a week off, but Kellen Winslow returned from a five-week break and he returned with lofty aspirations. Winslow was suspended for four games by the NFL for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. However what specific substance Winslow was suspended for we may never…
The week of the Patriots game Rex Ryan made an impassioned plea for Jet fans to show up and be loud as, he would say, ‘heck.’ The fans showed up that day and came through for Ryan and the Jets, but this week Ryan offered no such plea. Apparently he didn’t need to, because the…
Last week was all about the thrill of victory over the hated Patriots, yesterday the Jets felt the cruel agony of defeat in Cincinnati. The Jets got their butts whooped 49-9 and for the fourth straight time this season they followed a win with a loss and this seesaw style approach to wins and losses…
Remember the old quote about guarding Michael Jordan? “You can’t stop him, you can only hope to contain him.” Substitute Rob Gronkowski for Michael Jordan and the quote works just the same.
