[blue]So Belichick welcomes him back to the Patriots' staff, right?

 

[Ben_Hecht]

Here we go again.


Woody Johnson . . . "This . . . is a football".

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

He beats Romeo Crennell to the unemployment line??

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

Romeo would beat the pudgy little weasel to the buffet line.

Good move for the Jets. Now cut ties with Favre and they'd really be heading in the right direction.

They have to be approaching a salary-cap hell with all the guys they signed in the offseason.

 

[93Devil]

In three years, they will be better with a different coach?

I have never been a big fan of changing coaches like dress shirts.

 

[Webster]

As a long time Jets fans, I don't like it.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Stupid, stupid move.
Who's going to go to work on that death ship now?

 

[hockeybeat]

Watching the presser now. Johnson and Tannenbaum have tap-danced around questions about Parcells, Bill Cowher and bringing someone in as Head of Football Operations.

However, Eric Mangini is a loyal, hard worker who may be a great coach one day.

He'll be defensive coordinator for a Mountain West team in a few years. And yes, probably a hell of a hire for Wyoming.

The Christmas Tree keeps surviving, though.

That scene in The Sopranos has been rendered pathetically off-kilter now.

They went 13-19 since Artie Buco mentioned "Mangenius"

 

[Drip]

Two outstanding outsters. My compliments to the owners.

 

[Armchair_QB]

Has Lovie been fired yet?

[Mizzougrad96]

I wonder if Favre's comments got him canned.

Crennel and Marinelli I understand. Mangini I don't.

 

[terrier]

On behalf of Pats fans everywhere...schadenfraude.
