By Tyson Rauch  Now that the championship games are finished the football world embraces itself for the marquee event of the sporting year. The Super Bowl is upon us with all of its glitz, glamour and hype. We are in the middle of two weeks of celebrations, awards ceremonies, V.I.P. parties and banquets as… Read more
The Day The Dynasty Died
By Gregg L. Hayim It is my belief that dynasties don’t end, they die. In this day and age of free-agency and the salary cap, sport dynasties have become a thing of the past. That’s what made this Patriot team of the last half decade so special. We watched in awe as this team replaced… Read more
Pats Lose To Colts, Hoodies Still Not Cool
The Patriots lost to the Colts in the AFC Championship game by a score of 38 – 34. I would go into details of the game but it really doesn’t matter. All you need to know is that Reche Caldwell is not Deion Branch. And that cutoff hoodie sweatshirts are still not in style. Good… Read more
FOOTBALL METHADONE
By Gregg L. Hayim This time of year has always been tough on me. The taxing emotional involvement required to be a Jet fan during a playoff run takes its toll. When the season ends, as it always does, instantly and disappointingly, the withdrawals are not kind. Like a smoker stripped of his pack; I… Read more
Hooked On A Feeling
By Tyson Rauch Well Super Bowl time is approaching and as usual the focus of my energy will be on my office pool boxes and analyzing the commercials. Once again the New York Jets will not be participants in the championship game and that streak is on its way to 40 years. The new thinking… Read more

JetNation Year End Report Card
by Joe Grinwis Quarterback: B For the first time in his seven-year career, Chad Pennington started an entire season.

Roadtrip To Gillette
By Tyson Rauch Gone was the smell of bratwurst and sausage that wafted throughout the parking areas. Gone was the festive feeling and tone of football friendship and camaraderie. Gone was the feeling that it was only a football game and we were all there to enjoy it. From the state troopers who threatened to… Read more
Time Not Right, But The Day Grows Ever Closer
By Brian Roe It’s not our time. It’s as simple as that. When the Jets traveled up to Foxboro this past weekend and received a 37-16 thumping at the hands of the decade’s best football team, this much was clear. But instead of the tired and expected “Same Old Jetsâ€? denunciation, Jet fans were overcome… Read more
The Morning After
By Gregg L. Hayim I’m not going to lie, this is not what I had in mind. No, this is definitely not what I had in mind when I woke-up yesterday with those feelings of internal optimism and outward boldness that often accompany a day that offers such opportunity. I woke up with those same… Read more
Jetnation Playoff Preview
By Nick Ferraro The regular season in the NFC seemed a lot like a demolition derby. For seventeen laps the cars slammed into each other with reckless abandon. There are only six still running all of which have varying degrees of damage. It’s that damage, however, that gives the NFC playoffs an increased appeal. The… Read more
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH….ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE
By Gregg Hayim I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of the New England Patriots. I’m tired of their holier-than-though persona, I’m tired of every New Englander’s belief that it is somehow their divine right to win a championship each and every year.  I’m tired of the media’s love affair with their… Read more
