What’s Going On With The Jets These Days

I am a Jets fan so I know how frustrating the new PSL’s are. My pops has had tickets in section 237 since ‘92. My brother’s name was called after being on the list for 8 years prior to the 2008 season, and we had to give them up already. Brutal! So no wonder Jets fans are pissed. The Jets notified fans recently that fans in the non-PSL, upper bowl seats must now put up a $500-a-seat deposit, 16 months before the first regular-season game in September 2010 at the new $1.6 billion building. So, a fan who has four $90 seats just paid $3,600 for the 2009 seats, eight regular-season and two preseason games, and now must pony up an additional $2,000 shortly thereafter.

But this dude is really pissed. 83 year old Harold Oshinsky has filed lawsuits against both the Jets and the Giants. He claims they are illegally forcing thousands of season-ticket holders to buy PSLs to pay for the teams’ new $1.6 billion stadium. Well no shit, Harold! Although I do feel for you brother. In the new stadium, Oshinsky’s seats fall into the premiere “Coaches Club” section, where PSLs are selling for $20,000 to $26,000 a seat.

Maybe it won’t be so bad if Mark Sanchez turns out to be the next Philip Rivers, like Jerricho Cotchery seems to think he will. ”I watched the rookie minicamp, the practices, on film,” he said. “I saw some of those same things when he was able to put the ball where he wants to put it. Philip Rivers was an accuracy guy. He was able to put the ball wherever he feels. I saw some of those same things on film when I was watching.” Of course Cotchery and Rivers played together at North Carolina State.

From one extreme to the next…

Mr. Cotchery did not have the same glaring comments for the departed Brett Favre. ”Before he came to us, the whole thing was he wanted to go to Minnesota. You kind of feel bad if you were the team he settled for.” said JC. Another Jet had this to say behind the curtain. ”I’m tired of being part of his soap opera. If he really wanted to win a championship, he’d be right here. Let’s call it for what it is: He wants to play for Minnesota so he can stick it to Green Bay twice a year. He’s just being selfish. I’m not surprised.”

Holy Jerricho Cotchery Batman! This guy is just all over the place. This time he talks up Plaxico Burress. ”I would welcome him,” Cotchery said. “I know a lot of guys would welcome him because they know what kind of player he is. He’s a good guy. I enjoy watching him play.”

And as we all know, Jets owner Woody Johnson would have no problem going after Plax. “We’re going to look for talent where we can find it,” Johnson said Saturday in an interview with the Daily News. “If a guy has committed a crime and is in jail, obviously we can’t take him. We’re committed to improving the team.”
