As you already know, I co-host a 100% commercial-free, no one makes a dime from it, Sports Talk radio show on Long Island. Last night, Jets beat writer Randy Lange of the Bergen Record was our guest live from Minicamp.

The interview is 54 commercial-free minutes of nothing but Jets talk, and is in MP3 format.

Here's the link:

Hey patchyfogg,

Thanks for posting that link...I don't have time to listen to it now but hopefully tomorrow.

As for Stadium Stories, I enjoyed reading it of course, but don't think it added much to what I knew about the Jets. Did you like it? I have a tough time seeing any non-Jets fans really liking that book.

 
I did see Teague "banged up" somewhere but can't recall a specific injury. I expect Mangold to beat him out anyway and I'd bet buff+den fans would predict the same thing.

Chris Baker starting TE like how it wound up last summer. Really think FFers have him ranked wayyyyyyyy too low.

 
Link isn't working :(
I think he's got a bandwidth limit. Check back later. That worked for me last time he posted an interview. Also, they're pretty huge files so ya might wanna clear out your cache before too to free up some space
 
Another nice job, Patchy! I still wish we (Jets fans) had a better idea of just how much 3-4 they will run, but it's just too early to know.
