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.

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

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

Some NFL Athletes Are A Step Above Cavemen
