But the one thing is Boston has a LOT more class than NY. I have NEVER seen a t-shirt that says BOSTON 17 - NY & NJ 2. Amazing how you NY media people can always talk about the Yankees, Giants & Jets. We never hear you talking about the Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Islanders or Devils. Didn't the Bruins beat the Rangers 4-2 in the Stanley Cup Finals in 1972? I never hear Boston fans throwing that up into your faces. The NY media & fans only talk about what they want to talk about. It always has been that way and always will be. Boston fans could care less about NY, I do not watch any NY teams. But the one thing is Boston has a LOT more class than NY.

Typical NY prediction thinking a NY team will always win. "Miami is mediocre so today's loss means the Jets drop to 9-1 against mediocre and bad teams. Is that something to be proud of, huh, Charles?" The real winning classy team in this area comes from northeast of NYC but you idiots at the Bridgeport (CT) Post never write about them. Just keep writing your articles about the 4 NJ teams the Devils, Giants, Jets & Nets and the 5 NYC teams the Islanders, Knicks, Mets, Rangers & Yankees. How soon into the new year will you members of the NY media make your annual statement of "Yanks...team to beat...best team on paper...looks like they can punch a ticket to the 2011 World Series."

From one Jets hooligan to another, I don't think Lito Sheppard was that big a loss. He caught passes like he had vaseline on his hands. As much as I liked Faneca (and he had the numbers backing him up for a while), his last couple of years he was faltering. I think Ducasse can absolutely take his place and do an amazing job. I am sorry to see Leon Washington go. I thought they were going to keep him around. Shonn Greene is one to watch. I can't wait for the season to start. Didn’t know you wrote this blog, too!
