Interview With New York Giants WR Steve Smith
Last night I had the pleasure of interviewing New York Giants Wide Receiver Steve Smith. I know i am a Jets fan but I am not going to pass up the opportunity to interview any professional football player. He was making an appearance at Macy's at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, NJ for Perry Ellis. After selecting which Perry Ellis button down shirt he was going to wear he headed out to the floor to sign autographs for the awaiting fans. Young and mature fans alike all stepped up and had pictures, hats, balls, jerseys, and more signed by ...
New York 1 Interview For Jets Documentary
Today I was interviewed by Jon Weinstein from New York 1 News about the Jets Documentary I have been working on over the last 2 years. Jon showed up to Anthony Quintano's studio so he can get some B roll shots of us working on the documentary. Questions ranged from how long the season tickets have been in my family to what would I like to gain from this documentary. Obviously, there are comments I would have liked to have made that I thought of after the interview. But that is how it goes. The ...
Meadowlands Stadium: I Kept On Knocking & They Let Me In
Yesterday was the day the New York Jets had their mini camp inside the new Meadowlands Stadium. I had gotten my tickets last week after seeing Erik Manassy posted they were free through Ticket Master. My friend Anthony Quintano was supposed to go but business meetings come first. By the time I arrived around 10:30 AM the parking lot was filled as if today was the season opener. So many people must have taken off from work just to see the Jets practice for two hours and get to be inside the new stadium. Was packed with fans, more than ...
Giants Stadium Demolition: Still Standing Around
Well, today I ventured back to the place I was told i could not go back to. I could go back, just not take pictures. But I did take pictures today. I know what I said before. I knew I could not go back onto the premises to take pictures. But no one said anything about taking pictures from off the premises. I just went to the same location s I went to when I first started taking pictures. I had been thinking about it for a few weeks now. Others found it ludicrous that someone could actually be told ...

New York’s Power Struggle Shifts From The Jets Back To Giants
The New York Jets controlled the big apple during the post season over the last two years. In fact, Jets fans like myself anticipated that the team would finally be the Kings of New York instead of the Giants. After all, since 2008 the Giants hadn’t come close to returning to the Super Bowl, while their former weak sisters nearly went there twice. The Jets had control for once in New York. But...

New York Jets Flight Hits Turbulence Over Past Week
The New York Jets did not make it into the postseason, yet they are a hot topic in the NFL this past week due Mark Sanchez, Tony Sparano in place of Brian Schottenheimer, Matt Higgins leaving, and their slow decline. Jets fans like myself are looking puzzled at Sanchez’s behavior in December and how Jets players are speaking out anonymously about him and locker room situations. Anonymous... [Read more]
NY Jets Fiscal Year Leaves Stockholders In Doubt Regarding Performance
New York Jets fans were not sure which Jets would be on the field against the Miami Dolphins on the first day of 2012 received a response to which we have seen time and time again.. The team which has a rich tradition of late season implosions, embarrassing answers, and never living up to their hype has returned to our amazement after two years of really lucky moments and 4th quarter rallies. Isn’t... [Read more]
The Jet Nuts: A Breed Apart From Other Jets Tailgating Groups
This past Sunday I had the pleasure of watching the Jets face the Eagles at the home of Steve Renner. Steve is one of the founders of the Jet Nuts tailgating group. You could always spot them from their bus and Jet Nuts logos. Now the game may not have been the best, but the afternoon with the Nuts was very enjoyable. It was easy to see why many enjoyed tailgating with the Jet Nuts for... [Read more]
Non PSL Parking Preferred By Some At MetLife Stadium
Sunday’s Jets romp over Kansas City was the last Jets home game I will be filming at for my documentary. Since August 2008, I have attended as many home games as I could to to tell countless fan stories. Some long time season ticket holders watch the games from home while others still attend with fewer friends beside them. There have been a few season ticket holders I have talked to... [Read more]
Why Is New Jersey Ignored By Its Own Professional Football Teams?
Long ago, the Jets and Giants once played in New York. Not anymore. They play in New Jersey. Their training facilities are in New Jersey. Their offices are also located in New Jersey. If the Jets or Giants don’t want to acknowledge New Jersey in their names, then they should combine their efforts once again and move back to the Big Apple. The West Side Stadium project was a bust so... [Read more]
Jets Stock Under Performing; Shareholders Fear Another Decline
Last year I wrote an article about the Jets and their stock price. It seems not much has really changed in one year. Sure the Jets made it to the AFC Championship game last season, but their stock still underperformed according to analysts. This season, their stock seems to be sliding amongst fans. Some are ready to dump their stock while others will stay invested. The question usually... [Read more]
Fans Message To Jets & Rex Ryan: Shut Up & Play
This past Sunday night, the Jets had an opportunity. An opportunity to show not just their fans, but everyone who follows football that they should be taken seriously. That the Jets are a team who not only want to go back to the AFC Championship for a third straight year, but win and go on to the Super Bowl. The Jets and Patriots both stood at 5-3. All they needed to do was win in convincing... [Read more]
