Billvv reminds us, if you want to take notes, or pictures or whatever at camp and send them in, we’d love to hear from you! Fore every ...

Although the Jets did ask for permission to speak with Favre, that wasn’t something that the Jets did as a result of contacting Ted Thompson in Green Bay, actually, it sounds like it was the other way around. Jane McManus sums it up well on her blog.
Tannenbaum’s piece of information that the Jets were call-ee rather than caller—which he did not reiterate for reporters—adds to the ...

Here’s Mike Tannenbaum saying nothing particularly on WFAN on Friday speaking in hypotheticals.

Pennington confirmed what we already know … not that Tannenbaum would tell us, this according to the AP :
Jets quarterback Chad Pennington said Friday that general manager Mike Tannenbaum told him the team has talked to the Packers about Favre.
It didn’t sound like Tannenbaum assured Pennington that the Jets aren’t interested.
“Bottom line, an organization has to ...

It got a bit busy here today (and the crashes weren’t helping either) but here’s some video last night from The Wheelhouse when they talked about the Quarterbacks.
And here’s a second clip from Sportsnite on both the Jets and the Giants.
Also, please note that our hero at SNY.tv, crazyman Ted Berg (have I ever met a Ted who wasn’t crazy? No.) made his TV ...

Rumor is that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is now involved in the Favre saga and telling Green Bay to pull the (Johnson & Johnson brand) Band-Aid off this Favre situation.
With that in mind, should anything happen, this might move quickly.

The Jets aren’t the only team who are getting to talk to Favre, apparently the Bucs have asked and received permission to talk with Favre according to FoxSports’ Jay Glazer.
Looks like the race is heating up …

Quick!!! Buy up all the rights to the word “gunslinger” before New York has a run on them!!
So we here have been waiting for the smoking gun, and apparently Chris Mortensen has provided it . We like Mort and all, but let’s face it, he’s not exactly Jay Glazer, so sit tight for now.
The Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have expressed interest in Favre, according ...

The Jets have finally completed the Vernon Gholston
signing - at 4:30am this morning! If he turns
up at camp later looking a complete mess, you’ll know why. According to ESPN , it’s a FIVE year deal (so did the Jets cave?) for between ...
I wanted to post this last night, but it was late and I also wanted to go to the source of injury information, Will Carroll. If I get an answer back from Will, I’ll let you know what he thinks …
Yesterday at camp, when I was bumping around the FieldTurf whilst herds of reporters, photogs, and TV crews pushed in front of me (I’m naive enough to apologize for bumping ...

Still recovering from the 3:30AM start yesterday and being back in Massachusetts … oy.
McManus asks some questions that need answers on her blog.
Reportedly, Pennington was trying to get an unfair leg up in the competition by stealing Clemens pads — so far it might be working. /Sarcasm
NFL Network were on-site yesterday getting coverage of the team … and then Rich ...

Ahh, the Golden Hour (as Bassett kept calling it).
After a wet and gloomy morning (weather-wise), it was nice to see the sun break through and to have just a perfect evening for football. Obviously, I’m not the only one who thought so –
Morning/evening.
Anyway, like your crazy uncle who makes you look at his slides from his trip to the Grand Canyon (”It’s ...

The awesome KSK continue their “Sweet Science Sixteen” series (which pits NFL players against one another in theoretical boxing matches, neatly arranged into a bracket), with Baltimore rookie and former Golden Gloves boxer Tom Zbikowski from Notre Dame matched up against our own Vernon Gholston! Cast your vote for Vernon and read the tale of the tape here

A few final notes for the day that R in CT and I talked out while driving back off Long Island on a day that ended a entered in like a lion and left like a lamb …

So a word about the Gholston signing/not signing/signing.
For context, it’s worth noting that I had press access today (whoo hoo! I got to stand 3 feet closer to the team!) thanks to the good folks of SNY and the Jets. Although I spent much of the day high in the stands bad-dancing like a white boy to the music blaring from the speakers, I did sneak on the field for short periods of ...

Here’s Mangini’s press conference from Thursday … enjoy reading the tea leaves!
Opening Statement… I’d like to welcome everybody back. It’s nice to see everybody. It’s an exciting time for us. We sort of eased into the rookies and the injured players and the quarterbacks coming back. We had some buildup, but this is what we’ve been building up ...

Cimini’s camp notes reveal that the Jets and first round pick Vernon Gholston have reportedly agreed to terms. Gholston could be on the field for tonight’s practice.
The notes also reveal that (according to Rich’s interpretation of a vague Mangini comment) the Jets have no interest in Favre, that Chad Pennington actually tore two ligaments in his right ankle last year and that (as I ...

R in CT, JScott and I are back at a lovely Panera on Meadowbrook Turnpike, talking about practice. Here’s some notes from what we saw and heard this morning. We’ll do our best to keep you up to date, but after we finish up here, it’s off to Chrebet’s to toast the new season!
