I signed up for Direct TV today; the hottie on the other end of the phone noted there has been a huge surge in WI signups for the NFL Package since many Packer fans want to watch the Jets games as well.

You could just download Sopcast and/or TVUPlayer and stream most of the noteworthy games for free to your PC while you watch the Packers or the other noteworthy games too. Pretty good shit for catching all the NFL Network games. Last year, I streamed the Cowboy/GB game with Sopcast off my laptop to my 50" Plasma with a VGA cable to watch with some buddies. Works great and is free. Check it out for all that don't know.

I don't mind where you post em, though I may not agree with them.

and I'm always poised to see your reaction 'of course'.

As you should be, you bewildered old coot.

I think you love Favre in large part because it helps fuel your unholy hatred of Ted. It may be better for your tortured soul if you found it in your heart to forgive Ted for whatever despicable act you think he committed, even though you likely hallucinated the entire episode during a moment of severe dementia.

Don't be a hater Woody.

Scott your either senile or have a certain inability to discern TRUTH because of your own extreme views and opinions based in you quasi Ultra egomaniacial delutions.

I want Ted Thompson to hang around for awhile, so you and some others here will get a good fill of him. For the upteenth time SCOTT CAMPBELL.

Can YOU read poor man?

I don't hate Scott Campbell. I've discovered in my experience that usually those who accuse others of that ( or hatred) well know what hatred means in their own suffering and guilt. I wish you well with that Scott. Sincerely.

Scratching my head. Shaking my head.

The CBS channels in the state can request that the network feed them specific matchups if there is a clear indication that it will boost local viewership. Clearly, Jets games with Favre will do that. For Jets games not on CBS, then it up to the other networks to agree with local affiliates. The CBS guy quoted in the Journal Sentinel said unless there was a conflict on times or the double-header, the requests usually get approved. There probably will be a lot of Jets games all over the state on CBS.

One mention of the fan post from the Jets blog. When people start to believe that they know the inner workings of people's minds and their feelings like they are close, personal friends or family, I think fandom has crossed a line. No one knows whether Favre's intentions are pure or not, nor do they know if Thompson's intentions are despicable or not.

And she certainly should not lump all fans who did not want to see Favre in a Vikings uniform as disloyal. I know loyal Vikings fans who did not want him, so that they didn't have to start to root for him. Treating a celebrity (or even a hero) like he is your best friend and you KNOW him is a little bit sad.

Sometimes Sopcast gets unstable though. I wouldn't want to have to rely on that to see the game. I tried it a few times last year and had some troubles. Sometimes the game listed wasn't the right game or it was choppy or poor quality.

New York Jets' offensive line has tough test against the Giants


HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — With protecting their new quarterback a top priority, the New York Jets' revamped offensive line is looking forward to its next big challenge: the Giants' sack-happy defence.

"I think everybody knows about their front," left guard Alan Faneca said Thursday. "It helped them win the Super Bowl, so it's going to be a good gauge for us."

The Jets, with new additions Faneca and right tackle Damien Woody, are eager to take on a Giants squad that piled up 53 sacks last season and will have its sights set on Brett Favre on Saturday night.

"I try to keep all quarterbacks who are behind me healthy," left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson said. "Obviously, you want to keep that guy healthy as well."

The Giants, with defensive ends Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck leading the way, have firmly established a reputation for dominating quarterbacks. They sacked Tom Brady five times in the Super Bowl victory against New England.

"Their front four is phenomenal," fullback Tony Richardson said. "Any one of those guys could have been right up there for MVP of the Super Bowl. They took over the game."

Coach Eric Mangini was uncertain how much Favre would play, but teams usually leave their starters in the third pre-season game for at least the entire first half.

"It's really going to depend on how many plays we have offensively and how long their first group is in," Mangini said. "It's really hard to say at this point."

Favre looked good in his two series last week in his Jets debut against Washington. He was 5-for-6 for 48 yards and touchdown, and was hoping to see more action Saturday.

"With every pre-season game I've played in, I'd like to play the whole game," Favre said earlier this week. "It's kind of a touchy situation, but based on how much I've played, or haven't played, I would think I would play more."

That would mean more time for the offensive line to make sure the Giants' swarming defence stays away from its rifle-armed 38-year-old quarterback.

"We want to do all the small things right," Woody said. "We want to really be crisp out there for the third game, knowing that we will not likely be out there for the Philly game (next week). This game is going to be as close to a regular-season procedure as possible. We really want to go out there and make a statement."

That's easier said than done against a Giants defence that dominated the Cleveland Browns early in a 37-34 victory Monday night.

"They were really impressive against Cleveland and they have some really good athletes in their front seven," Woody said. "We feel like we're a pretty good group up front, too."

Even before the Jets acquired Favre from Green Bay two weeks ago, the offensive line was considered by many the biggest key to success this season. The Jets got only adequate pass protection for Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemens last season, and that also affected the running game.

Promising third-year players Ferguson and centre Nick Mangold, along with veteran guard Brandon Moore, remained from last season's unit. After a botched salary dispute led to left guard Pete Kendall being traded to Washington, the Jets struggled to find a replacement.

So, they headed into free agency targeting the best available at the position. They signed Faneca, a seven-time Pro Bowl performer with Pittsburgh, to a five-year, US$40-million deal - making him the league's highest-paid offensive lineman. They also signed Woody, a former Super Bowl-winning centre with New England, to bolster the right tackle spot.

"I think we have potential and we've laid a really good groundwork here in training camp," Faneca said. "You're starting to see signs, not of life, but things beyond just the X's and O's. It's getting to where you're starting to do some things in some pretty difficult situations and being able to get the blocks."

Favre faced the Giants in the Packers' loss in the NFC championship game and wasn't sacked, but was hurried and felt the pressure in subzero temperatures at Lambeau Field.

"That's over and done with," Favre said. "Obviously, it's a new year. A lot of things have changed. It's a pre-season game for us. I'm not thinking about the past. They're the team to beat in this league. We're just trying to get better this week."

Notes: Wide receiver Laveranues Coles (left leg), who hasn't spoken to the media since the team released Pennington, has been limited in practice. Mangini was unsure if he would play against the Giants. "It's all measured steps," Mangini said. "You don't want to have a setback this late in the process. We'll just see how it is." ... Mangini said defensive end Shaun Ellis (hand) is "getting closer," but didn't know if he'd play this week. ... The game will mark the 40th time the teams have met in the pre-season, with the Jets leading 20-18-1.

I am unable to see the Jets pre-season game tonight, but Favre finished 9/12 98 yds, no TD's no INT's. 3-0 Jets in the 3rd vs the Giants. Sounds like an exciting game!!!

NFL Network will be rebroadcasting this game Sunday at 3 pm CDT

[MJZiggy]

Are they rebroadcasting yesterday's Pack game again? I looked on the schedule but couldn't find it.

[The Gunshooter]

Giants' Umenyiora carted off.

A TD was brought back due to a Bubba Franks illegal motion. So he woulda been 10/13 145 yds and 1 TD.

[Tarlam!]

He looked damned good in the NFL.com highlight film.

But A-Rod played very well, too!

Super Bowl or Bust

Packers vs. Jets

And we'd get a first round draft pick to boot; that would be sweet
