Trade Rumors With No Merrit: Braylon Edwards for Thomas Jones

Earlier today I was informed by a buddy of mine at work that there was a post on the New York Times website that was for "Insiders" only about a potential Braylon Edwards for Thomas Jones trade. This excited me for a second because the Jets desperately need a wideou, I've always been a Braylon fan, and while Thomas Jones is a great asset, getting Leon more touches and utilizing freshly drafted Shonn Greene is a may not result in a massive dropoff.

So with this exuberance I decided to do some digging to see where this rumor originated from. And well, it started with Tony Grossi, a Cleveland Reporter just throwing out the idea and saying it was going to happen. Not exactly much weight behind that other than opinion.

So I decided to take a look to see if it even really makes sense. To me it makes obvious sense for the Jets, they need a big time wide receiver. They just drafted a back in the 3rd round and they have Leon. Thomas is aging and he probably only has a little time left.

But a deal of this manner makes no sense really for the Browns. As Waiting for Next Year puts it "...I’m struggling to see what role we would have for Jones." They already have an elder statesman at running back in Jamal Lewis, is it really bright to go into a season with a two-headed monster that consists of two highly paid 30 year olds? Than with the loss of Edwards, the Browns would need to rely strictly on Youth to get it done at wideout.

This rumor really has no basis and got my hopes up for absolutely no reason. Thanks for wasting my time Tony.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
