STEVE-O: One Very Important Business Trip

File Under: Jerricho Cotchery, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers

The Jets are about to embark on a key road trip and its importance is not lost on the team. The players I've spoken with are all very aware of what this week means and for what to prepare. A five-hour flight is no fun for any team. Players' body clocks are shifted, energy is low, and the team's timing is off.

All of these things affected the Jets on their last trip to Oakland. The result was a l… More

STEVE-O: Time to Smash Some Mouths

File Under: Thomas Jones, Buffalo Bills, Brett Favre, Alan Faneca, ground game

Before the Jets were blessed with a Hall of Fame quarterback, they had a plan to be the nastiest smashmouth football team in the division.

That's why they went out and got Alan Faneca and Damien Woody and added Bill Callahan as the offensive specialist. Adding to that, Thomas Jones is a between-the-tackles runner who can burn the clock and get to the second level. No matter the results this year,… More

STEVE-O: Pleasures – and Perils – of Miami

File Under: Anthony Clement, Chris Baker, Dolphin Stadium, Will O'Toole, Ray Lucas, South Beach, Katie Sadler

You can't think of Miami without smiling. It's just a city that screams fun.

And I'm not just talking about South Beach, though I can tell you if you start the night at Mango's and work your way to the Delano, you'll have a memorable evening with plenty of stories. Stories I am not at liberty to discuss here, but it's clear that the party atmosphere of the city erupts in Dolphin Stadium on game d… More

STEVE-O: Hooked After One Hofstra Visit

File Under: Wesley Walker, Kerry Rhodes, Mark Gastineau, Hofstra University, Richard Todd

I'm going to miss Hofstra University.

This week the Jets practiced for the final time in front of a crowd at Hofstra and it was a little sad. Not that any championships were won on those fields, but the turf was fertilized by Jet sweat.

I've spent this training camp watching the practices leaning against the fence and talking with the fans, and it reminds me of the first time I came to Hofstra f… More
