File Under: Dustin Keller, Mark Sanchez, Twitter, ticket sweepstakes
08/28 — If you want to see the Jets play the Birds, all you've got to do is tweet.
A lucky 13 Jets players on Twitter have already tweeted that they are each giving away three pairs of tickets to the Jets' final preseason game, against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, Sept. 3, at the Meadowlands. That's 39 pairs of tickets in all.
The tweet instructs each player's Twitter followers to follow the Jets' team twitter, @nyjets, and to send @nyjets a tweet stating they want to win that player's tickets. For instance: "@nyjets I want to win @mark_sanchez tickets."
We must receive that tweet by 9 o'clock tonight, the end of this one-day ticket sweepstakes.
All current and new @nyjets followers who tweet us with that message will be sent a direct message today with instructions on how to complete their entry into the sweepstakes.
Winners will be drawn and notified early next week. The winners will be able to pick up their tickets at the Meadowlands will-call window the night of the game, Sept. 3.
Remember, if you want to be enter the sweepstakes, you must respond by 9 o'clock tonight.
Now as Dustin Keller might say, it's time to tweet away, my Twittas.

If hes beaten down early his confidence will take a major hit, hey maybe Im wrong here, Ive been wrong before. Just don't pull him now, we sink or swim with Sanchez all year, I'll be rooting hard."

Some QB's might have complained it wasn't a fair fight or refused to help the rookie(ie; its not my job Favre)it seems some of Pennington rubbed off on Kellen and hopefully that will rub off on Sanchez, it has to be a team first QB mentality,either way my hats off to Clemens & I wish him future success as a backup here or starter elsewhere"
