Schwartz: Dennis Byrd Will Finally Get The Honor That He Deserves

Byrd’s triumph over tragedy will take center stage this Sunday when his No. 90 jersey is retired at halftime of the Jets-Dolphins game at MetLife Stadium. The painful memories of that fateful December Sunday from 20 years ago will surely come to mind.

Silverman: Unitas’ Record Is Certain To Fall, But His Legacy Will Remain Intact

Drew Brees would probably be among the first to tell you that he will never erase Unitas’ legacy. It was Unitas who demonstrated how explosive the passing game could be, and he changed pro football forever.

Dyer: Wake Up, Jets Fans — Sanchez Can Be Effective, But He’ll Never Be Elite

He isn’t the “Sanchise.” It is something that Jets fans need to come to grips with; the reality that now in his fourth year, quarterback Mark Sanchez isn’t going to be the second coming of Joe Namath.

Keidel: Want That Lombardi Trophy, Jets Fans? Sanchez Must Be The ‘Sanchize’

Mark Sanchez has many years left in the league, but he has this year to prove that his first two years were more representative than the last two. Another 8-8 season could cement his fate as a second or third-tier quarterback.

Silverman: Once Brutal Giants Vs. Jets Rivalry Was As Nasty As It Got

The thought of the early battles between the Giants and Jets brought about some of the hardest-hitting and nastiest battles of the football season.

Schwartz: The Roundup From Jets Camp In Cortland

This is shaping up to be quite a weekend for Gang Green. The highlight of Friday’s practice was when Mark Sanchez threw a “game-winning” touchdown to Patrick Turner, after the defense dominated almost all of the workout.

Lichtenstein: A Jets Fan’s Cruel Curse Of Hoping, Wanting, Believing

With the Jets, I have to deal with schizophrenia. Keep expectations low. Don’t invest your passion this year. It has never been as easy as it sounds.

Silverman: Change In Preseason Philosophy Started With Joe Namath

The idea that teams use training camp to get ready for the regular season is basically folly. Teams use the preseason to keep players from getting hurt. Coaches and general managers don’t want to chance season-ending injuries in the preseason.

Schwartz: Joe Namath Flip Flops On Tim Tebow, Tony Sparano

When the Jets acquired Tim Tebow, Joe Namath wasn’t a fan of the acquisition. He also took it upon himself to question the hiring of Tony Sparano as offensive coordinator. But as fast as you can say “ay ay ay”, Namath has had a change of heart on both subjects.
