Electric Gliding Onto Broadway
Maybe you heard the one about the Jets cutting the number one rusher on the number one rushing offense a couple of weeks ago? Or the rumor about them trying to re sign him for less money? Well it didn’t happen, and Thomas Jones decided to sign with Kansas City, in what can only be described as a spite move. I mean really…Kansas City? I’m digressing.
Enter Ladainian Tomlinson. Yes, he of the Electric Glide, helmet over the head, unwilling to play hurt and actually pretty well regarded former San Diego Charger.
Free Agent Fun…
Ah the Jets…so close to greatness and yet again so far. They’re making some pretty decent deals in spite of some hand tying because of this uncapped year.
First off, shoring up the oft charted territory opposite Revis Island. The Jets let Lito Sheppard and Donald Strickland go, and traded a 2011 third round draft pick (that could escalate to a second round pick if he plays well) to gain the services of Antonio Cromartie from the San Diego Chargers.
He had 33 tackles and 3 picks last season with the Chargers, and at 25 years old has a great upside.
2009 Conference Championships Recap
Colts over Jets.
Well, yes. Philly.com did a fun “10 things about the…” for each of the games. I still think that the thing that was the most amazing about this game was that the Jets managed to hang in there for the first half. Hell, they were leading at halftime. Of course, they didn’t score another point. But still, rookie QB? Not bad.
2009 Conference Championships Picks
Saints/Vikings – Everyone’s all “Brett Favre’s got the experience” and “Jared Allen’s a monster” and “Adrian Peterson’s occasionally able to hang on to the ball” and whatnot. But they’re playing the NFC Championship Game in the Superdome for the first time EVER. And the Saints have in some cases almost single-handedly been holding Crescent City together since Hurricane Katrina. And they are NOT going to let their fans down now.
To quote my friend Joanne:
Holy Cow!
The Jets are going to the AFC Championship game after “shocking” the San Diego Chargers yesterday.
Oddly enough, the only ones that aren’t completely shocked are Jet fans. In spite of their stellar eleven game winning streak to end the regular season, the Bolts went the way of the Dodo bird, and fell off the face of the earth when it counted most.
The folks on television will just say that they didn’t play well. Hell even Shawne Merriman claims they beat themselves. An odd comment, considering the other team on the field was not dressed in Chargers blue.
