Nets
The New York Times has to stop reading my blog. Their headline today was, "After 82 games, Nets' Real Season Will Begin," a statement very similar to one made a few days ago in this very space about how the NBA season really begins with the playoffs.
Yankees
It's nice to see them string together a few hits in order to score runs instead of the home runs. The team had been in a funk but they've put together pretty impressive offensive outbursts in two of the last three games. It's pretty feast or famine, however, which is concerning.
Jets
My friend called me about the Jolley trade to the Jets, saying it was a horrible move. I'm a bit surprised by this move, since it takes them out of the first round, but the last two years of draft and personnel moves for the Jets have been fairly sound, so I'll wait and see where this goes before judging it outright. The Mel Kipers of the world seem to think there are a ton of defensive backs available (the main need for the Jets) so maybe dropping about 12 places in draft position isn't such a bad thing to get a TE who has started in the past. The new offensive coordinator, Heimerdinger, does like having good pass catching TE's. Let's see how the whole thing plays out. A John Abraham trade would also affect how this draft turns out for Gang Green.
New York Jets put emphasis on offense in draft

Though I'm not a Jets fan, I think the Jolley trade is pretty good for them. Moving down 12 spots would probably get you an extra 4th round pick in the draft. So essentially, they're getting a TE (who's had some stretches of success) with 3 years experience for a 4th round pick...that's not unreasonable at all.
