After a very disappointing home loss to Green Bay, 9-0, the Jets go on the road to a decent Detroit Lions team. What happened in last weeks loss? The sloppy play calling by Brian Schottenheimer is what cost the Jets the game. The Jets showed, in the first 6 weeks, that they could power teams with the legs of Ladainian Tomlinson. In week 8, the Jets ran away from that game plan and started to pass the ball A LOT.
Before the game, I was thinking of all the ways the Jets could lose the game.
Aaron Rodgers- Big arm could light up the Jets defense
Darrelle Revis- Said he was 100%, but what if he wasn’t?
Mark Sanchez- After the week 6 performance, could I still trust him
The thing I didn’t take in to account? The cocky over thinking by the Jets offensive coordinator.
Looking to week 9 against the Lions
What is this week looking like? From a fan’s perspective, it is looking very good. I think that the loss will really help the Jets recover and get back to their winning ways. They now know that they can’t take any game lightly. I don’t see anyway for the Jets to lose, especially in a domed stadium. Final predicted score 37-17, Jets will take the win to go 6-2.
After a magical run to the AFC Championship last year, the New York Jets have a lot to prove this season. In the past off-season the Jets added many players and dropped some as well. Two major issues coming in to the 2010-11 season are the chemistry issues and the stalemate between the top corner back in the league and the Jets. Those are important issues that need to be overcome by the organization. But from watching pre-season, you may realize that the growth of quarterback Mark Sanchez is at a halt. Not only has his completion percentage gone down, but he has thrown some terrible passes. His stats may say 2 tds/2ints, but he should have atleast twice the number of interceptions. Historically, stats show the second season for a quarterback is a rough one. There is no excuse for Sanchez to have a poor season, all the pieces are there. The Jets have two elite receivers in Holmes and Edwards, and they have the best running game in the league. For the Jets, the goal this season is to make and win the super bowl, but in order to do that Sanchez must perform at a higher level than what he has shown this pre-season. On twitter, Antonio Pierce had this to say, “It has been a rough preseason for mr. Sanchez. Could he be the weak link to the Jets Super Bowl hopes?”
Darrelle Revis has recently been holding out of the New York Jets training camp. He has been waiting for his big pay day, however, the Jets have no plans to do so. Has Revis learned something from Leon Washington and his contract dispute? Yes he has. Revis would love to be the highest paid cornerback in the league, but an average salary would do, for him. Darrelle wants to have a very very high sum of money up front. For the past couple months, the Jets and Revis have been no where near close to a deal. And from this dispute people are starting to think that Darrelle is arrogant. People start to say things, that well, 7 months ago no one would even have thought of. Walking around in the New Meadowlands Stadium, I saw multiple signs with negative remarks about Revis. One memorable, “One man is no island”. The thing is, one man can be an island, and Darrelle definitely showed that last year. He is important to sign which should be soon, because…Now, according to Tim Cowlishaw on twitter, “Revis and Jets announce new deal, probably Wednesday”. If you watch preseason football, you may realize that the Jets have no cornerback depth, and when you have a schedule where you face some elite quarterbacks like; Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, Matt Schaub; you could use help in the secondary. Not only does Revis help in the pass game, but he helps in the pressure put on the quarterback. If you can put a guy like Revis on Andre Johnson, you have 10 other guys to rush the qb. I’ll tell you this, from sources, it does look like the Jets will get this deal done before the season. And it is somewhere around the range of 10 year extension 150 million and 65 million guaranteed (according to a Pittsburg TV source)
The average fan knows basic things about our current MLB season. A-Rod hit number 600 (finally), the Rangers got Cliff Lee and are going to the playoffs, The Orioles and Royals are terrible, the Padres and Reds came from nowhere into the playoff race, the Red Sox, Rays, and Yankees are duking it out for a playoff spot again, and, of course, Stephen Strasburg is playing and can throw a baseball pretty fast.
But there are some interesting things that the average fan does not know about our current MLB season. Here are some:
The Mariners offensive is really, really, really, really bad. They are last in the MLB in batting average, RBIs, home runs, and hits. This after the signing of Chone Figgins and people picking them as the dark horse to win the AL West.
Joey Votto and Carlos Gonzalez are duking it out for the NL MVP. Wait a minute… Who? Votto and Gonzalez are 26 and 24 respectively. However, they are 1st and 5th in runs scored, 2nd and 5th in home runs, 6th and 3rd in RBIs, 2nd and 1st in batting average, 1st and 2nd in slugging percentage, and 1st and 5th in OPS.
Mark Reynolds is on the verge of history–again. In 2008, he broke the single season strikeout record for a hitter with 204. In 2009, he shattered it with 223. And with 156 so far in 2010, if he keeps averaging a bit more than a K and a half per game, he will get approximately 243.
Yes, the Orioles are bad. But since new manager Buck Showalter took over, they are 7-1, by far their best stretch of an awful season. That’s all the teams in the AL East need, another good team.
Josh Hamilton is hitting .354. After he catapulted himself into the hearts and minds of America with an impressive season/Home Run Derby in 2008, he had a poor, injury-plagued season in ’09 that was pretty forgettable. And we forgot about him. Well, he’s back. In the month of June he hit .454. In July he hit .418. His closest competitor for the batting title is .018 points behind him.
Heath Bell, Rafael Soriano, and Brian Wilson are in a 3-way tie for the league lead in saves. What? What happened to K-Rod, Papelbon, and Rivera? These guys have all been lights out, and even though they aren’t household names, they should be.
So, average baseball fan, I hope you are enlightened. Now go impress your friends with all of your new useless baseball knowledge.
Just like 300 wins for a pitcher, 3,000 hits is one of the greatest milestones for a hitter. The last hitter to reach this milestone was Craig Biggio at the age of 42 in 2007. Very few players are accepted into this exclusive club, and almost all of those members have been enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Now people are wondering who is going to be the next member in the 3,000 hit club. To qualify got the 3,000 hit club you have to: have a high career batting average and you have to be old. Unlike the next 300 win pitcher, the next 3,000 hit hitter will come soon, really soon. Without further ado, here are the next 3,000 hit hitters in the MLB.
Number 5. Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers, 1356 career hits
Cabrera played his first full season at the age of 20 years old. His first year, Cabrera racked up 177 hits and posted a .294 batting average. He has shown to be an elite hitter throughout his career, and added with his chase of 3,000 hits he is in the chase of 500 home runs. Miguel has averaged 177 hits a season in the past 7 years, and to think he is only 27 years old is crazy. If Miguel could hold this average for say the next 9 or 10 years he will be able to break the 3,000 barrier. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind Cabrera will continue to play for that long, I mean Cabrera has already checked off one of the two qualifications (.314 career batting average) for being a 3,000 hit member.
Number 4. Albert Pujols, St Louis Cardinals, 1847 career hits
Ok, this is just one of those cases where you know the guy will break 3,000 hits, but the players ahead of him are older and will get to the milestone quicker. What is there to say, it’s Albert Pujols the guy is a machine. Even with all the home runs this guy hits, he get so many singles and doubles you would have no idea. In the past 9 years, has averaged 191 hits each season. Albert could be inducted into the 3,000 club if he could maintain this hits average for the next 6 years, and don’t forget, Pujols is only 30 years old and he will play enough years to contend with Pete Rose’s record for most hits.
Number 3. Ichiro Suzuki, Seattle Mariners, 2175 career hits
Ichiro is the best Asian born player ever to play the game of baseball in the MLB. Ichiro has played just 9 full seasons in the Major Leagues, and in those 9 seasons, he averaged an astonishing 226 hits each season. To put that average into perspective, neither Willie Mays nor Hank Aaron had 226 in a single season and Pete Rose had more than 226 hits once in a single season. The only enemy of Ichiro is time, he started his career when he was 28 and no one knows how many more years Ichiro has left in the tank. So for Ichiro to break that milestone, he would have to play 4 of 5 more years and keep that average of 226 hits.
Number 2. Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees, 2636 career hits
Alex has had a lot of criticism surrounding him lately. With all of those achievements, A-Rod has one yet to accomplish, 3,000 career hits. Alex had been under heat for those three years of steroid use in Texas, but he can do something that no other steroid user, home run hitting player has ever done. All Rodriguez has to do is hit the ball 364 more times in his career, which shouldn’t be hard since he is under contract for the next 5 years. He has averaged 158 hits each season in his illustrious 16 year career. For him to reach that 3,000 career hit milestone, he has to play two more years.
Number 1. Derek Jeter, New York Yankees, 2876 career hits
He is a great great great player, and will be a future walk-in Hall of Famer. In Jeter’s 15 years playing for the Yankees, he has averaged 183 hits each season, most of those hits coming in the clutch. Jeter just turned 36 years old, and has started to show signs of fatigue. His play in the field may ultimately make him the designated hitter for the Yankees until the day he retires. Jeter will continue to play baseball at his high standards, and will be an enshrined member of the 3,000 club next year. Thinking about it Yankee fans must be spoiled, they saw A-Rod hit number 600 and will see Jeter hit his 3,000 career hit.
If you can think of any others please comment saying who they are.
Randy Johnson is the last pitcher to get 300 wins. To attain 300 wins is one of the highest honors, if not the highest honor a starting pitcher can achieve. But who’s going to do it next? No pitcher seems likely to reach it in the next 5 years. So here are the top 5 guys most likely to reach the milestone, in order of the likelihood of their getting it.
Number 5. Justin Verlander, 27, 77 wins
Verlander had his first full season at the tender age of 23. He won 17 games. He has emerged as a legitimate ace already with a no-hitter to his name. It is not outlandish to think that he could hover around 20 wins for the next 8 or so years, given that, excluding a poor, 11 win season in 2008, he has gone 17, 18, 19 in wins his first three seasons. After those 8 years of 20 wins he will be 35 with around 240 and if he can go into his later years he could probably reach 300.
4. David Price, 24, 25 wins
Price is has already set the Rays franchise single season win record and there are still two months left in the season. At 15 wins, there is no reason why he can’t reach 20, or even above 20, this year. And at 24, he’s just entering into his prime now. Watching him now, there is absolutely no reason why he can’t average 18-20 wins over the next ten years. And if he does that, there’s absolutely no reason that he can’t rack up 10-12 wins for 5 years after that, which would put him squarely at 300.
3. CC Sabathia, 30, 150 wins
CC has a lot of wins for a 30 year-old. That being said, he’s only halfway there. He has never had a 20 win season, but has had 19 wins twice and playing for the Yankees you have to think if he pitches well he’ll get the wins. If he can stay around 20 for the next 5 years, he’d be at 250 when he’s 35 and on the inside track to 300.
2. Stephen Strasburg, 22, 5 wins
It looks ridiculous to predict someone with 5 wins will get 300. But you have to include Strasburg on this list. He has crazy, video game stuff and if he gets run support (a big if), there’s no reason why he can’t even post a couple 20+ win seasons. The sky is the limit for him. And 300 might not even be as high as he goes. But he can’t be number one because he only has 5, and this next person got a pretty good head start.
1. Felix Hernandez, 24, 65 wins
King Felix is already an ace. He’s been an ace for a couple years now. In fact, all things considered, his first year was better than Strasburg’s has been. In 12 starts he went 4-4 with a 2.67 ERA, and a 1.00 WHIP… when he was 19 years old. Hernandez has been the victim of the worst run support in the league this year with the Mariners, but if he can manage 16-18 wins for the next 4 years he would be at 140 at the age of 28. That is also when his contract runs out, so he could go to a contender and get plenty of run support and post a couple 20 win seasons. Put it this way: say at the end of the season he has 70 wins. He would need to average just 15 wins a year until he’s 38 to get to 300. That’s VERY doable.
Also considered: Brett Anderson, Mat Latos, Adam Wainwright.

The Major League Baseball season is 2/3s of the way through, and while the MVP’s and Cy Young’s and awards that you would want to get are still up in the air, most guys have already made their case for Biggest Disappointment or Least Valuable Player, and their teams are sick of it. Nominees for LVP probably won’t be sticking around in the majors getting the chance to ruin their teams’ seasons down the stretch. Here are both the MVP’s and LVP’s of the Major Leagues.
First the Least Valuable Player:
There are certain things that make a player more likely to win an LVP than his awful counterparts. One is money. If your team is paying a player a lot of money, it’s less likely that they will play badly, making their subsequent bad play even more comical.
Another is expectations. Say a prospect with a high ceiling that the scouts just love comes in and bats .190. That .190 is more egregious than some random guy on the Royals pressed into action because of injury batting .190. For example, after 3 months and 249 atbats, Gordon Beckham was batting .209 with 2 home runs and 20 rbis. Beckham being a young star taken 8th overall two years before, this terrible run was more terrible than Tigers second baseman Scott Sizemore batting .205 after the first month because no one expected much more from Sizemore.
The last factor is staying power. The longer you stink, the less valuable you become because you destroy more games for your team. Sizemore was booted into the minors after 120 atbats, making him not a candidate for this award.
Without further ado, here is the top 5.
Number 5. Jose Lopez, 3b, Mariners
Jose Lopez was the Mariners opening day 6th hitter and starting third baseman. He was coming off of seasons in which he went 272/25/96 and 297/17/89. Right now he is hitting .240 with 6 homers and 40 rbis. On top of that he has 13 errors at third, and is on pace for a career high in errors. And with just 16 walks his .271 OBP is by far the lowest out of anyone with over 325 plate appearances. Lopez is being paid 3 million dollars and expectations were high coming in, but apparently they should not have been.
Number 4. Chad Qualls, rp, Rays Chad Qualls entered the season as the closer for the Diamondbacks. And coming off of a season with 24 saves and 3.63 ERA, it was a well-deserved honor. It did not take him long however, to lose that job. The numbers for Qualls are fantastically bad. He is 1-4 with 12 saves, 4 blown saves, a 7.88 ERA and– brace yourself– a 1.93 WHIP. Qualls was recently traded to the Rays who are hoping he can recapture his former greatness. At this rate if he could manage to pitch a perfect inning it would be a miracle.
Number 3. Scott Kazmir, sp, Angels
Scott Kazmir is making 8 million dollars and has a 6.72 ERA. He has given up a run or more in each of his 17 starts this season. He is currently “injured” but in his last start he gave up 13 runs to the offensive powerhouse known as the Oakland Athletics. His troubles are heightened by his previous greatness. He is a former first round pick and at the tender age of 21 pitched a full season to a winning record and an ERA under 4.00. It’s hard to fathom that he has fallen so far so fast.
Number 2. Brandon Wood, 3b, Angels
Brandon Wood played in 57 games. He had a grand total of 5 multi-hit games. Had the Angels allowed the former first round draft pick to continue at his opening day position, he would now be tied for the league lead in errors among third basemen. In 173 atbats he had 4 walks and 52 strikeouts. His VORP (value over replacement player) is lowest amongst hitters. Let’s compare his numbers to those of Bronson Arroyo. Yes, that Bronson Arroyo… the pitcher. Wood’s .168 average comes in at 1 point higher than Arroyo’s. However, Arroyo has a higher OBP OPS and slugging percentage. Simply put, the Angels would have been better off with Bronson Arroyo in their lineup than Brandon Wood.
Number 1. Ryan Rowland-Smith, sp, Mariners
I know, I know. If pitchers never get the MVP, why give them the LVP? Well, Ryan Rowland-Smith is just a special case. His VORP is the lowest out of anyone. The numbers are actually funny. He has 92 innings pitched; 22 games, 19 started. His record is 1-10. His ERA is 6.96. His WHIP is 1.72. He has 39 strikeouts… and 40 walks. He has given up 23 home runs. Words cannot express how bad he is.
The MVP Candidates:
These players about to be mentions are the gem of their squad, the diamond in the rough, the glisten of hope on the roster. No matter what you call them, they put their team in the best chance of winning everytime they are out on the field.
When looking at potential MVP candidates, you have to look at the players surrounding them. Does he have a winning team? Does the team play differently with him in the lineup? Does he bring leadership to the locker room? All of these things are essential in a MVP caliber player.
Here are the top 5 MVP/CY Young candidates in Major League Baseball.
Number 5. Josh Johnson, sp, Marlins
He is probably the best starting pitcher in the league right now, and he has the stats to back it up. This season, he has posted 10 wins with a 1.96 ERA and struck out 151 batters. He may not be the world famous Stephen Strasburg, but he throws 99mph and has a resume that Strasburg would die for. Everyone knows the saying “If life hands you a bunch of lemons…” Well Josh pitches for the Marlins, so technically he was handed a cargo-boat load of lemons and well he made enough lemonade to solve world hunger and had just enough for himself.
Number 4. Albert Pujols, 1b, Cardinals
No matter how poor of a season he has, his stats are better than anyone else out there. I was debating on whether putting him into this “Top 5″ MVP list, but then I remembered that any article that predicts an MVP must have Albert Pujols mentioned somewhere. He is hitting .310 with 28 hrs and 82 rbis and somehow that is considered a poor year for him. He is considered the machine because of what he does on the field and what he does on the field is why they call him MVP.
Number 3. Miguel Cabrera, 1b, Tigers
For the Detroit Tigers, Miguel Cabrera is the only bright spec in their offense. This year Miguel Cabrera has set a strong case for the triple crown, his stats? He is hitting .344 with 26 home runs and an astonishing 93 rbis. With the loss of Magglio Ordnonez, no doubt teams are less willing to pitch to him and that may take a hurting to his stats. Cabrera is also the reason for the Tigers to stay in the race for the AL Central.
Number 2. Heath Bell, rp, Padres
He is no Mariano Rivera. He is no candy bar. He is the closer for the San Diego Padres. The Padres have been such an average to below average team in the past ten years, but this year it is different, much different. The Padres are the best team in the National League. The person, or should I say pitcher, to flip the team around this season is their closer. Heath Bell is the leader of the team and a mentor to the best relief pitching team in the league. Heath isn’t too bad himself posting 31 saves with 5 wins and no losses and an ERA of 1.93.
Number 1. Joey Votto, 1b, Reds
He put the Cincinnati Reds on the map. Joey Votto has done something remarkable this year. His stats speak for them self, .322/27/73. Although he may not have as many home runs or rbis as some players in the league, his contributions to the locker room are something to envy. Teammates call him an “all around guy” and a “clutch hitter”. Joey is a very clutch hitter and will make you pay with a ball out of the park. If Votto can hold up his stature, there is no doubt in my mind he will push his team to the playoffs for the first time in a while.
This just in: Brett Favre is retiring… After a long and illustrious career he takes his place as one of the greatest, if not the greatest quarterbacks of all time.
No, wait he’s coming back.
Nope, he’s retiring. __________ (insert injury here) is keeping him away, because he doesn’t want to come back if he can’t play at his high level of play.
No, he’s coming back! He had surgery for his ailing ___________ (insert joint here) with Dr. James Andrews, and now after much rehab, he says he’s ready to play again.
We recently learned that Brett Favre was retiring. Or so we thought. Given that he had undergone surgery for his ankle, a surgery only necessary if he wanted to play football again, and his stellar season for the Vikings in 2009, it didn’t make sense that he would retire. Of course, he is Brett Favre. We have learned over the past couple years that he doesn’t really base decisions off of reason, and whether things “make sense”.
Now ESPN is flashing the “BREAKING NEWS” that he’s still undecided about his future, and may yet come back. As if they needed to interrupt our program for that news bulletin. After news broke that he was indeed retiring (or so we thought), only about 25% of America believed him. ESPN put up the obligatory graphics showing how he is statistically the best QB ever, but spent much more time discussing with their various pundits whether he’s really gone than they spent discussing his legacy. Hey, after this many tries, ESPN should have the whole “Brett Favre is retiring” coverage nailed.
Now when most people heard Brett Favre was retiring, they didn’t think “There goes a legend”, they thought, “Oh no, here we go again.” Because the sad truth is, everyone is sick and tired of Brett Favre and his waffling about retiring and playing. In fact, it has gotten to a point where his waffling has overshadowed his amazing career numbers.
If I say “Joe Montana” or “Troy Aikman” to you, the first thing that pops into your head is “top 5 best QB ever”. Now, given Brett Favre’s numbers, you should think that when you hear his name, but you don’t. You think about the past three years, and the past three off-seasons, and the battalion of sports reporters taking residence in now famous Hattiesburg, Mississippi, during the summer months. Brett has successfully managed to overshadow one of the best careers ever with his constant retiring and un-retiring.
Brett Favre is going to the Hall of Fame. But you need to be retired for 5 years before you gain eligibility. A quarterback of his caliber deserves nothing but the respect and awe of the media as they recount his stunning career and say how worthy he is of his honor. But the sad truth is Brett Favre will not get that positive attention. People will need to go back 10 years before they find a favorable image of Brett Favre, and they probably will be more likely to discuss the recent Brett, the unfavorable Brett.
First impressions are important as an athlete, but so are last impressions; they dictate how one will be remembered. And Brett Favre’s last impression is not a good one. So Brett, do what you want, play or retire. But don’t let concern about your reputation factor into your decision because it’s already tarnished.
Has anyone told the New York Yankees the classic saying “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it”, well someone has to tell them soon. The Yankees pre-trade deadline were 66-40 and were coasting along leading the Tampa Bay Rays in the division by 2 games. The basic line-up for the Yankees before 31st had been solid, but Brian Cashman, Yankees GM, believed they could be better by acquiring an older and slumping Lance Berkman, an ok outfielder with right handed swing with the name of Austin Kearns and a decreasing in ability reliever Kerry Wood. Now, the Yankees post-trade deadline 0-3 and are one game back in the division to the Rays. The Yankees have two Major League issues at this point.
1. The Pitching- There have been two consistent relievers in the past few months for the Yankees and they are CC Sabathia and Javier Vasquez. The other three plus starters are all over the place, and for the Yankees to contend they need to step their game up…big time. AJ Burnett, who was very good last year for the Yankees, is a roller coaster of a pitcher. Some games, maybe he goes 7 innings and gives up one or two runs, but most of the time he pitches 4 shut out innings and then blows up in 5 inning and will put the Yankees in a hole that is practically impossible to climb out of. Phil Hughes started the year off pitching great, but he has lost some of his stuff and gives up plenty of home runs in his outing. The fact is, the Yankees are dying without Andy Pettitte in the number two spot and they can’t wait for him to get back from his groin injury. With all of these starting pitchers making the headline, people tend to forget the relief pitching and the woes they have enforced to this Yankee squad. When the Yankees do fall behind by poor starting pitching, Joe Girardi brings in pitchers from the bullpen to quiet the fire, however, he is doing the complete opposite, he is adding gasoline to the fire. Besides David Robertson, who in the Yankees bullpen do you trust to come into a game and be lights out? No one. The Yankees are hurting badly from the injury of Alfredo Aceves. To stay in the game, the bullpen is necessary, and they need to get this bullpen up to last year’s form otherwise trouble is ahead.
2. The Hitting- The Yankees used to be a dominant hitting team, but now, just average. By “used to” I mean before July 31st. In the month of July, the Yankees were never shut out and scored an average of six runs a game. Now, just three games into August, they have been shut out once and score an average of 2 and 2/3 runs a game. To me, it is a question of chemistry. The Yankees had been fine before the deadline, but Cashman over-thought and now finds himself in a hole. Jorge Posada was the DH on days he didn’t catch, but with Berkman on the roster, forget about that. Berkman is no Jorge Posada on any levels, Posada has at least shown some life in his bat this season, Berkman for the Yankees is 2 for 11 with one RBI. Also, get used to the line over-thinking, because with the acquisition of Austin Kearns, Girardi is over-thinking his line-up once again. It’s no secret Curtis Granderson has struggled against left handed pitching this season, but no matter how bad he is, you need that speed in the outfield. Austin Kearns may look ok at the plate, but in the field, he is one of the worst I have ever seen. This past game, multiple hits came to him, every single one was miss-judged and played poorly by Kearns. Life would be much sweeter having a guy who can’t hit lefties but plays a good defense than have a guy who can’t hit in general and plays a terrible defense. Maybe the Yankees could take out their troubles on the waivers and acquire Adam Dunn, which is unlikely, or they will have to deal with the consequences of over-thinking.
Don’t get me wrong, the Yankees are great, but in order to not slip and fall, they need to make some changes now.
Darrelle Revis has sat out of his second day of training camp, and he is making his absence known. Revis, who was declared a shut down corner, wants a new contract and will stay out till one is made. Darrelle Revis is on his rookie contract and is set to make $1 million this season. The $1 million dollars he is set to make is the lowest salary out of all of the cornerbacks on the roster, and he like many others believes that he deserves a contract the best corner in the league has. Darrelle wants to make $16 million a year, basing this number off of Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha is putting the Jets owner in a tough situation. Today, the Jets owner, Woody Johnson, spent 15 minutes discussing the Revis contract dispute and described their sides as ‘Far Apart’. Is Revis out of his mind? or does he deserve the biggest contract in NFL history for cornerbacks? Well for one thing he can’t base a contract off of Nnamdi Asomugha, the Raiders have enough issues and they need to pay their elite players high amounts of money so they don’t leave the organization. You see, the Jets are built well enough to go to the Superbowl, and a major part of that super bowl caliber team is Darrelle Revis, and without him it will be hard for the Jets to fulfill their aspirations. The Jets need to sign their franchise player as soon as possible.
