File Under: Thomas Jones, Jimmy Raye, Leon Washington, Rex Ryan, Super Bowl, Tony Richardson, Tim Carlson

Saturday night at the Super Bowl venue is one of those bittersweet deals. You know the circus will be coming to an end soon, but this night is a good time to party and get your head right for Sunday's big game.

Some More Thoughts on the Rex Power Surge

File Under: Chansi Stuckey, Joe Namath, Eric Smith, Rex Ryan, Super Bowl III, Damien Woody, Buddy Ryan

Damien Woody was one of the Jets players who showed up at the Atlantic Health Training Center on Wednesday for the kickoff of the Rex Ryan era of Green & White football.

Actually, the veteran tackle said he showed up late and didn't really catch much of the opening remarks.
