Florham Park, NJ – When sitting down at the table with everyone, remember the three F’s of Thanksgiving: Family, Food, and Football. The NFL began the tradition of playing two football games on Thanksgiving Day since 1920, when the NFL was first established. The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys host every year while a third game…
Florham Park, NJ – We are more than halfway through training camp and now I bring you good news. News that all Jets fans have been waiting. Forgive me when I eventually rain on this parade and try to temper your excitement, but even as I do that know that there does seem to be actually…
Florham Park, NJ – The Jets young players have been inconsistent, and the 5-5 record certainly indicates that.

I don’t remember the last time the Patriots weren’t favored going into a game. No one is ever like, “Yay! We’re playing the Patriots this week! We’ve got this one!” They’re the fastest, most consistent team in the NFL. Facing them in Foxboro on a short week seems dooming…except this week. For the first time…
Florham Park, NJ — When Rex Ryan rolled into town four seasons ago, he was fierce and unapologetic. He had Super Bowl aspirations, a highly touted rookie quarterback, and a top-notch defense.
