For what possible benefit does the NFL derive from a revenue standpoint in having this game outside in freezing temperatures at night?  Why would the worst possible weather conditions somehow be sold as a positive to the 32 NFL owners? For the week of the Super Bowl will turn the Northern New Jersey area into a virtual gridlock. Route 17 ...

The Jets got younger this weekend with the drafting of Joe McNight and Vlad Ducasse. But did they get better, as they try to stay focused on the team's first legitimate Super Bowl run in more than a decade?

Anthony Davis. Lam Jones. Mike Haight. Roger Vick. Jeff Lageman. Browning Nagle. Marvin Jones. Mike Nugent. Blair Thomas. Johnny Mitchell. Kyle Brady. Ouch. Ken O'Brien over Dan Marino. It still stings just to hear it. With the exception of Hall of Famers John Riggins (Kansas) and Joe Namath (Alabama) with first round picks, the choices made in the NFL/AFL Drafts by Gang Green have resulted in over five decades of mediocrity and frustration for most Jet fans. Granted, the new regime ...

After throwing for 2,444 yards with 196 completions on 364 attempts (63.1% QB rating, 53.8% completion percentage), Sanchez will need to tone down the interceptions ...

The New York Jets rolled the dice by taking a chance on LaDanian Tomlinson with a two-year deal to repace the departed and reliable Thomas Jones who signed with Kansas City Chiefs. Tomlinson, the 5th pick of the 2001 NFL Draft is a five-time Pro Bowler who has rushed for 12,490 yards on 2,880 attempts and 138 touchdowns. Just a year younger than the more durable Thomas Jones, Tomlinson has a history ...

Nick Mangold The Jets All-Pro center and anchor of the offensive line needs to ensure pass protection as well as big holes for Thomas Jones and company. If the Bengals rattle Mark Sanchez in passing downs due to a lack of protection and time, the ...

As the New York Jets prepare for a re-match against the Cincinnati Bengals in the Wild Card round of the AFC playoffs, they can sleep better knowing they have the versatile Brad Smith on their roster. Smith, the former Missouri standout taken in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL draft out of Youngstown, Ohio gives the Jets the kind of versatility in the backfield I've never seen in ...

Taking care of business, everyday. Taking care of business, every way.

TheáJets closed Giants Stadium in a way the New YorkáGiants could not. They continued their December hot streak by providing constant ...
