I never heard the story about Mangeni naming a baby after Brett. Who names a child after somebody they've known for 2 months? Does Mangeni have any kids named "Chad"?

He named his other kid after someone he knew while with the Patriots. And I'm not joking. It may have been Bellichick, but I'm not sure...may have been a player as well.Quote:

It was a good run but it is time he rides off into the sunset.

I mean - let's say he retires this offseason. If he's officially retired, would the Jets have to trade or release him back to the Pack for a one day contract to then retire as a Packer... OR - since he's got 2 years left on this contract, how would it work?

It's his call to make whether he wants to retire as a Packer. No doubt the team would agree. But, like Bretsky, I'm thinking he wouldn't jump at the opportunity if it were offered given the way things went down.
I'm no so sure it was age. Warner isn't that much younger......he lookes pretty good. I'm thinking he's hurting.Quote:

11-5 and not make the playoffs.......that is pretty weird.
I do have to say, with the amount of injuries they've had...they did pretty darn good. BB has quite the bench to pull from.
What do you think he'll do about his QB situation next season?
Well with the story that came out today that Brady may miss the 2009 season, I'd lean toward re-signing Cassel. If that doesn't happen, franchise him. They didn't miss a beat for the most part.Quote:

BB is such a 'business first' kinda guy......I wonder if he'd take a chance getting rid of Cassell if they do well next year.....one good hit on that knee of Brady's.........Quote:

Luke William is named after Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who mentored Mangini before the Spygate fallout.
NY Daily News reported Jets owner Woody Johnson was livid after the game. He usually doesn't say much of anything.
Today he said his team underachieved. Mangini's and Favre's (possibly Tannenbaum's) future hanging in the balance. Most NY papers reporting the usual "unnamed" sources that Mangini is gone and that Favre will hang it up. Haven't found anything on Tannenbaum yet. Though PFT.com said it was 50-50 for Mangini to get canned.
Was sad watching some of the throws. That shoulder could be really messed up.
You are correct, sir.Quote:

Jets wisely protected themselves against a Favre retirement after only one year with the team.
If the Jets ultimately owe the Packers a first-rounder, the pick in 2010 will be a fifth-rounder.
If the Jets owe a second-rounder, the pick in 2010 will bea sixth-rounder.
If the Jets owe a third-rounder, the pick in 2010 will be a seventh-rounder.
All NY papers reporting that Mangini is likely out as coach. 10 am EST presser without him.
