The Jets officially went Hollywood Thursday. Team Green announced they will be featured in the sixth season of the HBO series “Hard Knocks” during training camp. The Jets will play starring roles in five hour-long episodes on Wednesday nights beginning August 11.
“There’s no other team in the league right now that’s kind of more interesting than the New York Jets,” Owner Woody Johnson said."We have our Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg in Rex Ryan.”
“This is going to be a great opportunity even for the casual NFL fan to sit back and jump on board this Jets bandwagon,” Ryan said. “This is a team that’s going in a direction of a Super Bowl. So hop on board. We have nothing to hide. This football team might be a little bit different than others that have been covered. We actually have fun.”
Although general manager Mike Tannenbaum “admittedly had a lot of concerns, a lot of reluctance at first” with the project, NFL Films assured the Jets that footage that might compromise the team from a competitive standpoint would be left on the cutting room floor.

41 years since the last Super Bowl. There will indeed be some bandwagon jumping. I, too, am concerned about the Jets heads swelling without much justification. On a related note, looks like Gang Green may go criminal to upgrade at the wideout position. The other choice is old and small.

Skippy Boy Bayless at It Again
Absurd comment of the week: Skip Bayless of "First Take" says Jets should trade their first-round pick for D. McNabb. Yeesh.
I don't watch a lot of Bayless, mostly because of this and this. But I'm glad to see my feelings validated by the above Tweet. Now I'm not saying Mark Sanchez is the next Peyton Manning, or even the next Ken O'Brien. But I am saying that Donavon McNabb has shown me very little to pique my interest over the last 10 years. So let's just say Lex hopes Rex takes a pass on old D.McNabb . . . even if it meant giving up just a fifth round pick or later to get the geezer.
