I FUCKING LOVE IT........... How heavy-handed are the New York Jets coming off around the league for all of their high-profile acquisitions? Ochocinco At least one star player is begging the league to intervene and stop the madness. Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco should be thrilled to see a division rival lose a dangerous player, but he's looking at the big picture after the Jets sent a fifth-round draft choice to the Pittsburgh Steelers for receiver Santonio Holmes. Ochocinco's immediate response was to tweet "Can someone please explain why the Pittsburgh Steelers traded Santonio Holmes to the Jets?" A few minutes later, the NFL's court jester sent this tweet to @nflcommish, the official Twitter account of Roger Goodell: "Mr. Goodell the NY Jets are unfairly loading their team up with great players like the Yankees do, we need to stop this now!" Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum is having an obnoxiously productive offseason. The Jets traded for cornerback Antonio Cromartie and signed running back LaDainian Tomlinson. They Jets are courting pass-rusher Jason Taylor, who might make up his mind about the Jets this week and probably got a little more interested after the Holmes trade. Remember when Jets fans were concerned the "final eight" plan might curb their offseason options? -Tim Graham ESPN.Com
Tannenbaum's offseason has been outstanding. I remember myself and most NYJ fans expected a quiet offseason because of the Final 8 bullshit....
the last 8 teams from the playoffs, could not sign any free agents, unless they lost free agents, one for every player they lose.
I know I said the other day that I was going to stop posting here (don't go on any other blogs/message boards anyways) because of all the ridiculousness and clutter that has been growing since last year....but fuck it, I like 95% of you and I take it back. We are going to win the goddamn superbowl.!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Gotta love Ochocino. I respect him for speaking his mind when you know so many other players are thinking the same thoughts, yet remaining mum about it. Tanny has been doing an excellent job this Offseason, despite (as WSW once so aptly said it) the "Final Fuck Rule."
