11/01 — Bad blood was already flowing when both teams were warming up.  It appeared that Jets S Kerry Rhodes pushed Dolphins LB Joey Porter after some verbal sparring.  The incident happened on the Jets' sideline, but it was on the Dolphins side of midfield.

And before Rhodes jogged back towards the Jets' side of the field, he took a swipe (not a punch) at LB Cameron Wake.  But there were no fights and both teams are back in the locker room.  As expected, the chatter has been constant and Porter never gives his mouth a break.  When a camera was filming Porter, Jets LB Bart Scott mocked him by pretending he was cranking an old-time camera at a film house. 

Priceless!

The Jets will reach the season's midway point in a few hours but not before a huge divisional clash against the Dolphins here at the Meadowlands.

Not only do the Jets want to get revenge on the Dolphins after a 31-27 Monday Night loss down in South Florida, but they'd like to move to 5-3 overall and 2-2 in the AFC East.  Conversely, a Dolphins "W" would send New York's AFC representative to 4-4 (after a 3-0 start) and just 1-3 in the East. 

This is a big one folks.  We'll be back at 1:00 p.m.  A reminder here — this chat is family friendly!
