Eli Manning comes up big in the clutch

It’s official, Eli Manning and the New York Giants have beaten the New England Patriots for the second time in the past 4 years. The once impenetrable reputation of Tom Brady has no been degraded and diminished, as Eli Manning has out-played Brady in both big games. Five years ago, the world would have laughed at the thought of Eli Manning outplaying Tom Brady and winning more Super Bowls than his big brother Peyton, but the improbable has happened.

Witnessing it all as a Jets fan, the Giants were clearly the more deserving of the two Super Bowl teams. The Giants battled back from adversity this season, effectively earning their playoff spot with a 99-yard touchdown reception by Victor Cruz against the Jets, the play that really turned the tide of the season. The Giants went on to play the Cowboys in Week 17, which was essentially a playoff game in itself, win and you’re in. The Patriots on the other hand, moon walked into the playoffs with one of the easiest second half schedules in recent memory. Playing the Broncos in the divisional round of the playoffs didn’t help to challenge the Patriots and once they were challenged by the Ravens, Lee Evans and Billy Cundiff dropped and booted the game away respectively.

It’s not going to be easy for Jets fans to go back to the irrelevant team in New York/New Jersey, but here we are again. After missing the playoffs every year since winning their previous Super Bowl, the Giants are now back on top in the Big Apple, and deservedly so. They’ve proven themselves with difficult road wins against the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49′ers, with Eli Manning proving himself to truly be ELIte time and time again.

Who would have ever thought the question would seriously be brought up, but is Eli Manning really better than Peyton Manning?

Will the Jets fly high in 2012?

In free agency, i think we should pursue Michael Griffin or Dashon Goldson as our safety to replace Eric Smith. Because lets be honest…Nobody likes Eric Smith and he’s a horrible cover safety. When we face Gronkowski 2 times a year, we NEED a good cover safety.

We should also pursue a tackle. Demetrius Bell, anyone? Lastly, let’s bring back BRAYLON EDWARDS. he has pre-existing chemistry with Sanchez, he’s a good deep threat, and he’s actually productive.

83 days left. 83. Till what, you ask. The draft. these our my thoughts on it.

first of all, I think we should take a pass rusher in the first in all situations EXCEPT if  Trent Richardson is still around. I think he’ll be a special player. There’s talk that he’s ALREADY better than Adrian Peterson. While that may be a bit of a stretch, he sure as hell is good.

What pass rusher will we take? Well, since our lovely friends, the Bills, will probably be taking Courtney Upshaw (most mocks i see have them taking him, with the exception of a few. the others have them taking an offensive tackle, since theirs will be a FA this year) I think we should take Melvin Ingram or Nick Perry.

In the second round, i think we should either double-dip at OLB, and take Vinny Curry or Bruce Irvin, or take Mark baron. I know Mark Baron is projected as a first round pick, but if the Jets don’t take him, who else needs a safety enough to take one in the first round?

Miscellaneous thoughts:
The Jets recently tried out a rugby player, Hayden Smith, as a tight end. he’s 6 foot 6 and 265 pounds, so he’s the type of physical freak that Gronkowski is. Being a rugby player, he probably already has beastly ball skills. interested? I am!

Muhammad Wilkerson and Kenrick ellis are going to be beasts after a full training camp. Same with Jeremy Kerley.

WE HAVE TO RESIGN POUHA.

I think we should let LaDainian Tomilson go and have Joe McKnight take his place as the 3rd down and change-of-pace back.

I’m calling the Patriots in a high-scoring Super Bowl. Billy Cundiff has gotta be pretty depressed right now. Same with Kyle Williams. Speaking of Kyle Williams, did anyone see the Yahoo! article about the little kid writing him a letter? pretty cute stuff.

Expect a break-out year for Joe McKnight, Muhammad Wilkerson, and Jeremy Kerley.

Thats all, folks!

Kim Kardashian and Mark Sanchez? NO!

Now, there are new rumors that Kim is getting it on with New York Jets pretty boy QB Mark Sanchez. Sources say that the two began “secretly” dating while Kim was filming her show “Kourtney and Kim take New York’s” FIRST season. Now that her “marriage” is a wrap, it’s back to Mark she goes!

Our source spoke to SBI exclusively, and this is what she told us! “Kim and Mark like to meet in hotels for dinner dates and “flings”, says the source. “Whenever Kim is in New York, they hang out. They are very careful with not being seen together, Mark is seeing someone!”

The source also tells us that Kim and Mark are planning a rendezvous this super bowl weekend. We all know that Sanchez blew his teams playoff hopes this year, after he failed to beat Kim’s ex Reggie Bush and his Miami Dolphins!

So are they serious? “Kim’s just in it for the sex”, says an insider close to Kardashian. “She has her hopes set on a bigger “star” than Sanchez. But for now, he will do.” This woman just doesn’t quit does she……. -Strawberry Ice Cream

Kim Kardashian and Mark Sanchez dating? I’m calling absolute BS on this story. I’ll believe this source from “Strawberry Ice Cream” when they can actually produce some evidence. You can literally put Kim Kardashian’s name attached to any ball player and it’s instantly a story of national prominence. We’ll probably be watching the Giants Patriots Super Bowl, but they’ll still be talking about Mark Sanchez and Kim Kardashian at half time. I just can’t see Mark Sanchez dating Kim because I know he has better taste than a Kardashian.

It’s a shame about Sanchez though. Whether the rumors are true or not, if the guy scored as much on the football field as he does off the football field, he’d be better than Tom Brady. Unfortunately for Jets fans everywhere, our QB might be better suited for the pages of GQ and US Weekly rather than Sports Illustrated. I haven’t given up hope on Mark Sanchez yet, but if the rumors about him and Kim Kardashian are true, I might call it quits.

This years Super Bowl is literally the worst outcome any Jets fan could have asked for. Our two most hated rivals, both of whom have made it less of a rivalry and more domination on their part. If I had my choice, I probably wouldn’t watch the Patriots vs Giants Super Bowl, but common American culture says I must. So how do I keep sane while watching it?

Not actually me, I'm better looking..

Me and my buddies have a few day break from school in between our winter and spring terms, so we’re all driving down to Hilton Head. Nothing but golf and fishing for 3 days and 3 nights. Pretty much heaven on Earth. Don’t miss me too much while I’m gone, but hey, there’s really nothing exciting going on in Jets world right now anyway. It’s a shame I won’t be golfing the whole time during the Giants vs Patriots Super Bowl..

Pray for warm weather and sunshine.

Giants/Patriots Super Bowl: another step back for Jets

Well, it seemed that way for parts of this year, especially as the Jets were 8-5. However, the Jets lost at home to the Giants, much in part due to Mark Sanchez and a 99 yard touchdown from Victor Cruz. The Jets went on to miss the playoffs in an epic collapse while the Giants rolled into the playoffs and haven’t stopped. The Patriots have had an even longer win streak than the Giants, rolling into the Super Bowl with relative ease.

So, whats that all mean?
It basically means the Jets are back to Square One and so are all Jets fans. While an AFC Championship isn’t a Super Bowl, the Jets certainly had bragging rights over the New England Patriots and New York Giants the past two seasons. But those bragging rights from last year are now thrown right out the window because the Patriots and Giants are both in the Super Bowl, a place the Jets haven’t been since Joe Namath. All of Rex Ryan’s progress has been essentially been negated, all of his brash talking has come back to bite him in the ass.

What’s next for Jet fans?
A rough couple years. Either way, Jet fans are going to be getting shit from either Giant fans or Patriot fans. All we know now is that Rex Ryan has even more pressure on him to win in New York.

Rest in Peace Joe Paterno

Unfortunately, the news is now official. Early this morning, January 22nd 2012, Joe Paterno had lost his two month battle with cancer. Rest in Peace Joe Paterno. Joe Pa died at the age of 85, holding the NCAA record for most wins in football by any coach, with 409 victories. I’ve been a fan of Joe Paterno ever since I was a little kid, when my grandpa was rooting for the Penn State Nittany Lions and Joe Paterno, because he they were both Italian and from New York. I’ve stuck with the team since then as well, even though my grandpa and Joe Paterno are no longer here.

Regardless of all the circumstances, Rest in Peace Joe Paterno. You were my favorite football coach of all-time and it’ll stay that way. I’ll leave off with some words from recent Penn State Football graduates on the subject.

Coach, you embodied so much more than just Penn State football! football was what u did but put so much more above it! I have learned more about the game of life from you than i ever did from football! The values and principles and life lessons are learned from
You will stick with me forever! Rest in peace my friend, my mentor and my coach! -AQ Shipley, current Pittsburgh Steeler

This is not easy. Not for me, my teammates, my family, or Coach’s University. This is a sad time, but let’s remember everything Coach Paterno has done for all of us and all the great memories he has created. Lets remember the things he has taught us, and continue to teach others his ways. Thank you for taking a chance on me, giving me a walk-on spot, and helping me to earn a scholarship. You made my dreams come true, and my thoughts and prayers are with Coach and the paterno family. -Graham Zug, recent Penn State grad and wide receiver

What is wrong with the New York Jets?

Well this week in Jets world, the New York  Jets have continued the downward spiral in terms of the offseason. The Jets are tearing apart at the seams and new information is still coming out daily. In some of the latest news, LaDainain Tomlinson spoke on Showtime with the Inside the NFL team about the chaos inside the Jets locker-room. He called it, “As bad as I’ve ever seen”, specifically speaking about the tension between Mark Sanchez and Santonio Holmes. Here is the full clip below.

LaDainain Tomlinson made it pretty clear that Santonio Holmes was the root of almost every problem in the Jets locker-room, indicating he was unable to work with Mark Sanchez. So in light of all this, what does the Jets leadership say? They shower Santonio Holmes with praise! Yes, the Jets praised Santonio Holmes for essentially tearing apart the team and ruining the season. In a recent press conference, Woody Johnson called Santonio Holmes “one of the best players we’ve ever had” and also said “Holmes will be back”.

The Jets Front Office and leadership is taking the ol’ sweep everything under the run and hope it magically gets better approach. And guess what Jets fans? It’s certainly not going to work. Because if Santonio Holmes has another couple games where he isn’t catching touchdown passes, he’s going to pout and cry like a little baby again and tear the team up once more. But it’s okay, the Jets already paid him $40+ million, so let’s just pretend nothing happened during the 2011 season and hope for the best. It’s going to be Week 17 in Miami, over and over and over gain, with Santonio Holmes pouting and trying to fight teammates. Below, you’ll find Rex Ryan speaking with Mike Francesca recently on Santonio Holmes and the Jets situation.

I think Rex Ryan has finally learned his lesson on toning down the brashness after this season’s collapse. I’m not saying were going to see a “new” Rex Ryan, but we’ll see a Rex Ryan that’s not going to make the Super Bowl guarantees and crazy statements per usual. And you know what? It’s probably for the best. It’ll take some of the spotlight and media hype off the Jets and just let them relax and play football.

For now, that’s all I have. More sitting back, more waiting. Let’s all hope that further changes come, because watching the Jets collapse at the end of this season wasn’t fun.

Along with the JETWay, our favorite video series here at Jersey Jets Fan is the “Jersey Sports Fan”. Bernie Hatefield and Bryan Severance continue to bring the heat, with the Jersey Sports Fan in utter disbelief about Mark Sanchez and the Giants new found success. Without further introduction, here we go.

“I think at this point, I would take a paralyzed Peyton Manning over what we saw from Sanchez week 16.”
(Drinking a Heineken) “You’re the only thing that wears green that I know that still does its job.”

Serious question, is there anyone on the Jets as respectable as Nick Mangold? Just listening to this interview, you can tell the kind of player and teammate that Nick Mangold is, a clear leader. When “anonymous players” were quick to bash Mark Sanchez recently in a piece from Manish Mehta, Mangold was the first person to come to Mark’s defense on Twitter. He immediately followed up the report by Mehta, which called Mark Sanchez “lazy” and content”, also saying that Jets players wanted to trade him for Peyton Manning, with the following tweet:

This nydn.us/xnShGZ by @TheJetsStream is false. If “unnamed sources” want to attack Mark, man up and put your name to it #JETS -@NickMangold

It was easy for the media, fans and players alike to blame Mark Sanchez for the end of the season troubles, but when you really boil it down, it was a total team effort. The team itself didn’t play well, not just Mark Sanchez. It was the offensive line, it was the running backs, the defense in 3rd down, etc. The Jets just didn’t play up to par. If only there were more players on the New York Jets with the team-first attitude shown by Mangold, the Jets might still be playing.

Firing Brian Schottenheimer and bringing in Tony Sparano was the first of many necessary changes that occured with the Jets and I’m sure we’ll see more as the off-season develops. There are a host of players who have finished out their contracts including aging veterans such as LaDainian Tomlinson, Plaxico Burress, Bart Scott (contract isn’t over but the Jets may terminate it), and Jim Leonhard (who is coming off another serious injury). This off-season will surely be a crucial one for the general direction of the Jets franchise for years to come, so it’ll be interesting to see how it all pans out. Who stays, who goes, and why did it “all go wrong”, stay tuned!
