Jets wanna invite TO to training camp. http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/ ... id=5412850

I fear the Jets are becoming the kind of team I typically don't like.

Supposedly going to Bengals. Did no one start a 2010 Jets thread? I quickly looked at 3-4 pages and didn't see one.

The signing w/Cincy was done not long after the NYJ rumors got started. No doubt the stories were at least somewhat agent-spin although, generally speaking, the four-letter network doesn't exactly need an excuse to talk about T.O. If he sneezes they're as likely as not to break into regular programming.

Owens might have the one agent in sports more bombastic than Boras.

JELTS?

Very excited for Jets football this year. I don't get HBO but I may have to, uh, watch "Hard Knocks" at a friend's house or something ;)

Weather permitting, Fboy and I will be going to Cortland tomorrow to watch Jets practice.

I'm calling it now -- if Revis sits, the Jets won't make the playoffs.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 11 2010 11:13 AM Re: JAY-EI-TEE-ES in 2010

What they lose with Revis is the opportunity to be a historically-dominant defense. They ARE still 3-4 deep in the defensive backfield (Cromartie, rookie Wilson, Lowery at nickel), and have a ITBSOHL Kris Jenkins back on the DL; assuming no huge rash of season-ending injuries in the first few weeks, the defense will be good-to-very-good. Coupled with even modest improvement from Sanchez/Greene, they're likely going to be dangerous. Likely.

"But he has a contract Gary and Ron"......I wanted to slap all three last night when Johnson was on slobbering and looking for sympathy.

If Woody Johnson has a stroke or a car accident tomorrow-- God forbid-- he'll live the rest of his life with fantastic medical treatment, rehab, and/or palliative care. If Darrelle Revis tears his ACL walking to his curb-- never mind traumatic injury wrought by his tackling a 6'6"/250 lb TE or FB-- he'll have as much medical care as his $500K will buy him.

Gwreck Aug 11 2010 12:17 PM Re: JAY-EI-TEE-ES in 2010

Well, sure, except for the part where you left out that Darrelle isn't limited to making $500k for his lifetime...or getting a different job that has health insurance.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 11 2010 12:32 PM Re: JAY-EI-TEE-ES in 2010

Fair enough. He's just being asked to perform at max effort in a deeply-debilitating job-- the lifetime risks of which are only just being plumbed by researchers-- until his body won't allow it anymore for largely nonguaranteed money. (In case you're interested, I also tend to side a little more with factory workers, coal miners, and stevedores in labor disputes than I do management.)

The title of this thread definitely says either JLTS or JITS to me.

(In case you're interested, I also tend to side a little more with factory workers, coal miners, and stevedores in labor disputes than I do management.) I tend to favor labor over management too but on this issue I'm still stuck with Darrelle's contract. If he didn't want to play, he shouldn't have signed. 1. His contract (as signed) guaranteed him $11 million over the 6 years. That may not be defensive MVP money, but it's not peanuts either. 2. He was not forced into signing a 6 year deal; that's what he negotiated for.
