The Ultimate Office

I wish I had an extra room to display all my Jets stuff like this guy. Right now, 97% of my Jets stuff is in boxes. When I win Friday's mega millions, I'm making my Jets room !

Happy Memorial Day Weekend !

Have a great weekend. We are still 0-0 and tied for first place !

Kellen The Future?

If Chad can't come back and throw, I'd give serious thought to let Kellen Clemens get a crack at the starting job. We are gonna suck anyway so let the guy learn on the field instead of on the sidelines. Troy Aikman was 1-15 his first year as a rookie but learned the game on the field instead of the sideline. Give this guy a chance !

Happy Beleated Cinco De Mayo !

Totally forgot to send this out this past Friday. Who's got some chips ???

Comeback Chad?

It will be interesting if Chad comes back. With some new offensive line protection, if he can throw, the offense won't be terrible. However, if he can't, then I'm for letting Kellen take the snaps as that would be more beneficial than having Patrick Ramsey play QB. A season w/ Patrick Ramsey reminds me of a season with Tony Eason from back in the day. I'm ready for footbal season alrady !

Kiper's Draft Grade

New York Jets: GRADE: B-
I thought the Jets reached late on the first day with linebacker Anthony Schlegel and safety Eric Smith. They did do a good job of building an offensive line with tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and center Nick Mangold. Running back Leon Washington was a nice second-day pick. Former Missouri QB Brad Smith went on the second day, but I'm not sure where he will fit in. Defensive tackle Titus Adams was a really good pick in the seventh round and I thought he could have gone a bit higher.
