Jets Ousting Bengals is Far From an Upset; Could Chargers Be Next? thumbnail

The talk had been taking up much of the sports radio, television and Internet outlets. C’mon, you know that the majority of you were nodding in agreement as all of the so-called ‘experts’ were saying that the New York Jets did not deserve to make the postseason and the only reason why they “backed” in [...]

Favre Move Leaves Jets QB Cupboard Bare thumbnail

Whichever way you slice it, swapping a 39-year-old quarterback for one seven years his junior can always be a risky proposition, especially when the younger of the two has already led your team to playoff wins. By trading for Brett Favre and cutting Chad Pennington, the Jets basically put all their eggs into one basket [...]

Herm Had to Go in Kaycee thumbnail

He’s famous for his quote, “You play to win the game,” but Herman Edwards did not do enough of that and was let go by Kansas City’s new general manager Scott Pioli. In three years at the helm, Edwards went 15-33, but won only 6 games combined in the last two seasons.
His conservative approach, especially [...]

Comments on Radio Could Have Been Even Stronger

Thomas Jones had absolutely no reason to justify his comments made on a New York radio station on Tuesday. The running back was totally justified by calling out the 39-year-old quarterback and his dismal performance during last Sunday’s 24-17 home loss to Miami, which eliminated the Jets from [...]

Far From a ‘Fair Weather’ Assessment, Brett All Wrong for Jets

Don’t accuse me of jumping on or off any Brett Favre bandwagon. I’m on record as not being in love with the acquisition of the first ballot Hall of Famer back on August 7.

Favre Hints Towards Retiring ‘Again’ After Seasonbr>
Nothing is forever, not even grisly, 39-year-old quarterbacks that still have enough youthful exuberance to challenge a second grader. When Brett Favre ‘un-retired’ over the summer and forced his way out of Green Bay, even he had to realize that he had one, maybe two years left in his [...]

Marihuana Arrest Comes at the Most Inopportune Time

Let me clarify something first. There is no ‘right’ time to use marihuana. Adults can do what they please and all, but illegal drugs (especially ones that do not enhance your performance) such as that have no place in an athlete’s life. Certainly not one of the captains [...]

Jets Survive Scare in 28-24 Win Over KC

Brett Favre said in his post-game press conference two weeks ago in a victory over Cincinnati that there are no such things as ‘ugly wins.’ After Sunday’s come from behind 28-24 victory over Kansas City, the Jet quarterback didn’t go as far as making that statement again, but [...]

While Trade was a No-Brainer, Let’s Not Anoint Him Broadway Just Yet

You can’t go home again. That old saying rang true when Brett Favre had the door to Green Bay slammed in his face. The same place where he used to walk on water – and the Frozen Tundra – at first tried to be [...]
