Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Morning Cup of Bro: Off Topic Thursday

Welcome to the jungle.

The Brodown:

-Tom Brady aggravated his old shoulder injury in the big game. "Bradying", or sitting on the ground with head dropped in shame is sweeping the nation.

-The Jets took out a full page ad in the Daily News congratulating the Giants organization as detailed in GGN user CervezaVerde's fanshot.

-David Wyatt makes the argument that Plaxico Burress, who is potentially Eagles-bound if he has anything to say about it, was part of the cancer here. This would be supported by what some of the many leaked complaints alleged.

-Brandon Jacobs thinks that 1.Gisele should "be cute and shut up". and 2.that even though it's no longer Giants stadium, it is in fact their house. It's hard to argue with him right now, but time will tell, Brandon.

Welcome to Off Topic Thursday

Several GGN members have been clamoring for an all purpose weekly thread for discussion of all things, related to Jets and football or not. This is a test run. If it sucks or if John disapproves, it's gone. You want fun, you make it so. User generated content, baby. Enforcement will be lax with the following provisions:

Nothing illegal. Link NSFW stuff rather than post and identify it as such. Avoid religious and political discussion not for strictness sake but just because we don't want to hear it, we want to have fun, not bicker. Civility is appreciated.

Put a subject line for your images.

Draft Dilemna

I know the odds of this are unlikely, but if Upshaw and Richardson are both available at 16 who would you like to take?

by jetsmets65 on Feb 9, 2012 10:50 AM EST reply actions  

Don't watch college

but for this current team, would rather have the pass rusher instead of the RB.

This is purely hypothetical because Richardson will almost definitely be scooped up earlier

But if he somehow drops to us, I think we need to take him. He can be a star, Upshaw really fits this team but he projects as more of a role player. This draft is deep enough that we would be able to scoop up a quality pass rusher later, and we could deepen our draft by trading Shonn Greene in this scenario.

Pretty tough choice though, it’d be difficult to pass up Upshaw.

Upshaw

even a great RB won’t fix what ails this team. Greene is a quiet 1,000 yard back in a season that was horrible for running. LDT will be replaced in one capacity or another.

There is arguably much greater justification for opting for Richardson with Sparano running the O, but I still think it would be foolish.

Question

Since now we know that our beloved Jets are on the hook with Santonio for 15 K, what would they have actually been on the hook for if we cut him? I’m happy we didn’t, but I’m curious what exactly were the financial implications of cutting him.

If we had decided to get rid of him in any capacity

it would have been at least 9.25 million in dead money, per Chris Celletti of SB Nation New York.

TV Bro likes past and present

Ren & Stimpy

John Adams

I liked the Walking dead, but the budget cuts and show runner change made this season REALLY dull. I watched the first 15 or so seasons of the Simpsons, but it’s a different show now.

I enjoyed Lost but I felt the last season and last episode were very disappointing. Same goes for The Sopranos.

I’m probably forgetting a ton of shows I like.

A little hockey banter

Devils-Rangers the other night, what did everyone think about Gaborik’s non goal? As a non-apathetic Devils fan, I thought it was the right call and that even though there was contact, Gaborik didn’t do all he could to slow up and lead with his elbow.

one important thing bro

i’ve noticed this on the other sites that do this – the only way a thing like this, back and forth banter, works is if its also presented as a fanpost on the side and gets rec’d so everybody can see it. as it is now, if its only on the front pg, whenever a new story comes up it’s gonna get pushed down and nobody is gonna see it……

Then so it will be from this point forward.

Maybe the mail bag too but that stands on its own and I like to leave the fanpost sidebar for members when I can.
