Here’s New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez with his own version of the quarterback sneak–trying to eat a hot dog without detection during a TV timeout. And all this time I thought it’d be Brady Quinn caught with meat in his mouth. Sanchez already has apologized for doggin’ it during the end of the Jets’ 38-0 win against Oakland. Hey, the guy’s hungry. And it’s not like the Jets haven’t had their share of wieners on the sideline before.
Numbers are all around us. Some of them are completely meaningless, but some of them aren’t. And some of them kick ass.
0:06. Time remaining when Miami Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown ran up the middle from the Wildcat formation to score his second TD of the night, giving the Dolphins a 31-27 lead, and the game’s final score.
61. Approximate time, in hours, between then-Browns wideout Braylon Edwards allegedly punching out Cleveland-area promoter and “Friend of Lebron” Edward Givens, and Adam Schefter’s announcement on Twitter that Edwards had been traded to the Jets for two players and two draft picks.

Less than a week after punching out on of LeBron James’ “kids,” Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards was literally kicked out of Cleveland. And I thought all those references to LeBron “owning the town” were just figurative. Braylon was sent to the Jets for wide receiver Chansi Stuckey, linebacker Jason Trusnik, and two draft picks, reportedly a 3rd- and a 5th-round pick.
The trade comes just two days after a Cleveland man accused Edwards of assault outside a nightclub in the city. The man is a friend of Cavs star LeBron James, who said Edwards’ alleged assault was motivated by “jealousy.”
This is the second major trade between the Browns and Jets since Mangini joined Cleveland after being dismissed by the Jets in January. The Jets acquired the fifth overall pick from the Browns in April, and then selected Sanchez with the choice. via.
Yeah, what the hell is up with the big trades? Is Mangini raiding the Browns? We’ll know in three months, depending on whether or not the entire Jets locker room ends up with a staph infection. also.
Remember that robocall that New York Jets coach Rex Ryan put out to all of the team’s season ticket holders to trash all the cars in the Meadowlands parking lot with Massachusetts plates? Neither do I, but some enterprising Jets fans took it upon themselves to leave these guys a little parting gift after watching the green and white beat New England in Week 2. I’ve said before that sports fandom can turn into a outlet for fascism for a lot of white people, but this is just too much. That said, it’s probably a better use of mustard and light beer than you see at most tailgates. via. also.
By now you’ve probably listened to the less-than-charismatic voicemail sent out by the New York Jets feature head coach Rex Ryan [audio and transcript are after the jump in case you haven't]. But what you may not realize is how much Jets fans would have to shell out to cheer them on for their game against the Patriots on Sunday. It’ll be about three figures a pop.
Just checked TicketMaster and was able to find four together in Section 323 for Sunday’s Pats-Jets tilt.
(They’re $90 apiece plus a bunch of annoying charges that raise the total over $100 per.) –Neil Best [earlier this afternoon]
Even in New York, that’s a lot to shell out for one game, and doesn’t even include parking or concessions. The string of blackouts happening around the league is pointing to a real issue for the NFL: while The Gameday Experience might be better than watching the game at home, but it isn’t as cost-effective. And this is in the old Giants Stadium, not the billion-dollar-plus gigantiplex that the Jets are co-opening with the Giants next fall. It may not be long before these teams are just playing their games on giantic sound stages with nothing but TV cameras surrounding them. What obese, painted patrons shall we make fun of then?

Thomas Jones signed a big $25 million deal with the New York Jets in 2007, and surely some of that capital was instrumental in putting together this impressive collection of vehicles. The Legend of Cecilio Guante found an issue of RIDES, which I guess is a lot like “Cribs.” But with cars. Crafty.
Anyway, dude has some sweet-looking vehicles. And I enjoy how he seems to have dipped them in that same stuff that normal people use to color easter eggs. What’s wrong with white? Black? Could you not buy those cars in plaid? It’s a Lamborghini, Thomas. We’re gonna notice it as you drive by. And turn that damn music down while you’re at it. The vibrations from your woofer are gonna shake my Hyundai Accent to pieces.
