SNY shares video of an interview with GM Mike Tannenbaum.

ESPN shares video of an interview with RB LaDainian Tomlinson.

The Post: LT blames receivers for tension with QB Mark Sanchez.

Jets Twit: WR Santonio Holmes tweets his opinion on new OC Tony Sparano.

Jets Twit: S Jim Leonhard gets vocal on Twitter during the playoffs.

Jets Twit: Some Jets fans lash out at DBs Marquice Cole and Eric Smith.

JetNation: Jets fans are feeling playoff pain.

49ers TE Vernon Davis was emotional in their victory yesterday. Am I just me, or was Davis not benched for his slumping attitude in the past? Sound familiar?

The Ravens also won yesterday. By the way, their offensive coordinator now was probably not the best head coach in Dolphins history. Sound familiar?

QB Kevin O'Connell defends Sanchez and talks college football:

To our international members, we are celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day today here in the states. Here is U2 with one of their songs about MLK:

The Jets football team in New York did indeed win the 2011 Superbowl:

And lastly, here is former OC Brian Schottenheimer conducting practice at Florham Park:

Do you miss him yet?

The fact that Schotty was able to interview for a an HC job and then get an OC job actually worries me a bit. It makes me think the rest of the league is convinced that the problems he had in NY lie with the QB.

Proud owner of over 20,000 comments. (most of them in the wrong place) Oh yeah, and Buster Posey

I wouldn't be worried about it my friend

The experts call it “cronyism” and “nepotism” How many different players in his offense have we had? Now, think about how many of those BS offenses were good. Exactly.

Great interview with LT even though its with that propaganda house that calls itself a news organization.

Yea its not easy being green but its better than a damm band wagoner.

No wonder the offense sucked............

Those practices sucked. No one covering receivers, jogging through routes, Schotty praising the receivers for catching 5 yd passes with no coverage…..that was pathetic. looks like a few HS buddies getting together at the park and throwing the ball around. Some one needs to get on these guys for their lack of intensity…Hopefully that guy is Sparano.

OMG

I had never seen this video before. And this whole “play fast” thing, I heard Schotty say that phrase a bunch of times on Hard Knocks, too.

Yet, I don’t see them playing fast. Odd. ::sarcasm::

Sparano

is every bit as incompetent as Schotty.

Yeah i’m a bit worried about Sparano he didn’t exactly impress me in Miami..And what kind of practice was that I hope it was just show for the camera…chrebetfan ur 100% correct++10000

Well here's my opinion on Sparano

If we want to go on terms of offense, he had an incredible year as Dallas’ coordinator a few years ago, developed Matt Moore nicely and made Reggie Bush into a 1000 yard rusher, and honestly could anything be worse than what we had before? Plus he’s passionaye, something we’ve lacked from that position for a long time.

I hope Sparano is not inept, good thing is he is a fiery type guy,and has the respect of his players. Thats just what we need to clear up this mess. But i don’t think we are going to get some “creative” offensive mind from Him. I hope Haley comes over to assist. What’s going to happen with Tom Moore?

we should get a parade for the Harlem Jets...

just so we can know what it is like

Someone said that Schotty's only competition for the OC shot is Hue Jackson.

But ESPN says Jackson won’t get the spot because Fisher likes a “power running game” and Jackson has a “pass-happy” attack. Um, has ESPN watched the latter half of the Jets’ regular season?

Good luck getting a power running game out of Schottenheimer…
