20 Random Statements About the Jets

Wow, is NFL/Jets news slow right now. Here is a few brief updates of Jets news followed by 20 random statements about the Jets, feel free to agree or disagree below.

Updates:

- Training camp starts on July 24th with a double session.

- The Giants just announced PSL’s, and now the Jets community is holding their breath waiting for the price scale on their inevitable PSL’s. Hopefully Woody Johnson will remember how rich he is and how many Super Bowls the Jets have won for their fans in the last 30 years when thinking about pricing.

20 Random Statements/Questions About the Jets

1. The last time the Jets beat the Patriots at home was in 2000. Sadly, I have been at every single game from 2001-2007, and I missed the one in 2000.

2. Speaking of New England, isn’t funny how Wes Welker called out Asante Samuel for signing with the Eagles and choosing “money over championships?” Hey Wes, last time I checked you guys choked in the Super Bowl, you don’t have any rings, and Samuel has three, so maybe you should just trim your mustache and shut your mouth.

3. I think the Jets should make a serious play for Eric Parker. He would bring some stability to the #3 receiver position. Chansi Stuckey has looked great, but if Coles or Cotchery get hurt do you really want him or Brad Smith starting?

4. If a tight end who averages 3 touchdowns a season constantly complains about deserving more money in the middle of a practice, does it make a sound?

5. Could Dr. James Andrews surgically remove Kellen Clemens’ arm and put it on Chad Pennington’s body? Better yet, could a mad scientist remove Chad Pennington’s brain and put it in Kellen Clemens’ head?

6. What is more unlikely to happen? The Jets not making their fans pay for PSL’s OR Eric Mangini, Bill Bellicheck, Bill Parcells, and Jason Taylor golfing together.

7. What are the odds that Eric Mangini won “Best Personality” in his high school yearbook? Are they lower than the odds of Herman Edwards and the Chiefs winning a Super Bowl this year?

8. If I wasn’t broke, I would take the over on the 7.5 games Vegas has predicted the Jets to win this year.

9. If the Jets don’t acquire Eric Parker and eventually let Chris Baker go, maybe they should acquire Craig Yeast, Jonathan Carter, Quinn Early, or Alex Van Dyke to fill the void at wide out and Johnnie Mitchell or Blake Spence to help out at tight end.

10. Shouldn’t Justin McCariens have to pay every Jets fan who he forced to break a piece of furniture inside their house?

11. As excited as you should be to watch Kerry Rhodes and Darrelle Revis play together in the secondary, you should be equally as concerned about watching Eric Smith/Abram Elam and Justin Miller play alongside them. All three players have alot to prove this year.

12. Why the hell is backup tackle Wayne Hunter rated an overall 100 in morale in Madden 2008? What is he so damn happy about?

13. What was your favorite memory of the Brooks Bollinger era? My personal favorite is when the Jets had first and goal inside the 1 yard line against Baltimore and they proceeded to lose 5 yards on the next three plays and kick a field goal.

14. What would have happened if Dave Meggett caught that kickoff against Denver in the AFC Championship game in 1998?

15.If the Jets lose week one to Miami, do you think that Kris Jenkins, Damien Woody and Eric Mangini will go to the closest Chinese buffet and eat until they drop?

16. Forget about Chuck Norris, Vernon Gholston could slam a revolving door. Now hopefully he could slam Tom Brady to the turf so he doesn’t have enough time to gel his hair in the pocket.

17. Calvin Pace will be a good player for the Jets…maybe not 42 million dollars good, but good.

18. The Jets shouldn’t be allowed to play on major holidays anymore. Two years ago, my entire Christmas day was spent worrying about the Jets choking away a playoff spot to the Dolphins and last year I nearly threw up my stuffing after watching the Cowboys make the Jets look like a Division II team.

19. When the Jets get inside the ten yard line, do you think Brian Schottenheimer looks at his play sheet and just has the word “FADE ROUTE” in huge letters circled and underlined?

20. Thomas Jones will run for more than one touchdown this year…I hope.
