Woody’s Inflation
Benjamin Franklin once said that only two things in life that are certain are death and taxes. I would like to mention a third: Inflation. Inflation is the perpetual rise in prices that results in depreciation over any length of time of purchasing power. By way of example, you would need about $1.82 in 2003… Read more
Same ‘ol Jets? Don’t Make Me Laugh
By Sperm Edwards People have a lot of revisionist history with regards to this FO’s acquisition of FA’s. Backtrack to one year ago. To start the ’06 off-season, there WAS no salary cap for ‘07. Nor were talks going well as late as the last week of February (allegedly). What you do with your current… Read more
Jets Cap Update
By Sperm Edwards ESPN had us at about $21M under the 2007 back in January. Since then we’ve seen cuts (or upcoming cuts/trades) of: Barlow $2.9M cleared Teague $0.7M cleared Blaylock $0.6M additional (no savings) Hamilton $1.5M cleared Ramsey $1.7M cleared Kimo $1.4M cleared ————————————————– Total = $7.6M cleared = $28M under the 2007 cap… Read more
February Is No Friend Of Mine
By Gregg Hayim I am not exactly sure what it is. Perhaps it’s the timing of when I began writing for this site. Smack down in the midst of a playoff run with enough thrill to evoke a rise from a slice of Passover matzah. Or possibly, it is the circumstances surrounding my own life… Read more
Free Agency Is Near
By Tyson Rauch Coming off their playoff appearance both the New York Jets and their fans head into the off-season full of excitement. The teams play improved as the season progressed and it appears that with some quality personnel additions a better season can be achieved next year. The question is where will this personnel… Read more
Woody's Bottom Line
By Max I had some harsh comments for Woody Johnson when I received my season ticket invoice the other day. After thinking about it some more, I felt my initial reaction was accurate. There is no reason that ticket prices should have gone up as much as they have these past few years. I understand… Read more
Brian Leonard And The New York Jets: Perfect Together
By Frank Barone How would you describe the ideal Eric Mangini player? Some of the character traits would be intelligence, strong work ethic, unselfishness and he would be team oriented, besides the athletic talent. You look at those traits and you see Brian Leonard, the Rutgers running back. Why did Brian Leonard come back for… Read more
Jets Salary Cap Scenario
By Sperm Edwards I’ve seen the Jets cap situation as being anywhere from $20-28M under the $109M cap for 2007. No outsider knows the number exactly, but I believe the figure is closer to $30M than $20M. Either way, that’s not all. We’re clearly going to make at least some roster changes. So who gets… Read more
The "Real" Heidi Game
By Gregg Hayim The versions are infinite, the exaggerations endless. Most, more colorful then accurate, but all seemingly designed with the intent of serving as the shining example of New York Jet futility. Fact, to the younger generation, has been replaced with myth. And the truth becomes less conspicuous with each passing time the tale… Read more

Rex Grossman on the other… Read more
CLICHÉ WEEK
By Gregg L. Hayim Brace yourself, because it’s coming. When the NFL brain trust decided upon the brilliant idea of a two week separation between championship week and Super Bowl Sunday, certainly they failed to take into account the sports writers, radio-show hosts and fans that tire easily from the seemingly unending repetition. Let’s be… Read more
