Jets to Patriots: Shenanigans!

According to NY Jets Confidential, the Jets are claiming that the Patriots used someone to steal coaches’ signals during Sunday’s game at the Meadowlands.

According to a Meadowlands source, a member of the Patriots organization, with a credential issued by the team, was spotted by Jets security chief Steve Yarnell shooting near the New York bench.

And according to the stadium source, when questioned by Yarnell, the unnamed individual said that he was put up to it by the Patriots.

The cameraman was reportedly accused by Yarnell of shooting the Jets’ signals that were being sent by the coaches from the sidelines.

No wonder why everyone thinks Bill Belichick is a genius – the bastard has been cheating this whole time! Ever wonder how the Patriots win all the time, despite the obvious lack of superb athletic talent outsite of Tom Brady and Richard Seymour? Well, apparently all the talent is on the sidelines stealing opponents’ signals.

I find it amazing that the Dolphins were accused of stealing Brady’s audible calls last year and now the Jets are claiming that the Patriots did virtually the same thing. Nothing came out of it though and I highly doubt anything comes out of this situation either. Either way, teams better watch out when they play the AFC East, because them boys know how to gather information.

Water cooler recap: Week 1

Most impressed with: Adrian Peterson (163 total yards, 1 TD) is going to flourish behind Minny’s o-line. He runs hard, finds positive yardage and flashed major speed on his 60-yard TD reception today…

Least impressed with: For a guy that was so hyped before the season, Steven Jackson (18 carries, 58 yards, two fumbles) looked very sub par against the Panthers. Carolina did a fantastic job keeping him contained and the Rams supposed stout offense looked very mediocre.

Wake up call goes too: anyone who doesn’t think Randy Moss (9 catches, 183 yards, 1 TD) will make a difference in New England. He’s going to keep his mouth shut and play for a ring.

Play of the day: Ellis Hobbs’ 108-yard kickoff return was sweet, although if the Jets’ return team knew how to wrap up, I’d be writing about a different play.

My best advice of the week: don’t fall asleep on Pittsburgh this year. Yeah it was only the Browns, but Ben Roethlisberger looks comfortable again and Mike Tomlin’s defense is downright nasty…

Draft talk (yes, already): Anyone else smell the crap coming from Joey Harrington’s pants as he freaked out every time the Vikings blitzed? Was he that bad? No, but Bobby Petrino has to be dreaming of calling plays for Brian Brohm right about now.

Many applauds to: Matt Schaub to Andre Johnson is pretty…Antonio Gates is just so clutch. Every time Philip Rivers needed a target, Gates was always open…Clinton Portis looks healthy again – he gained 98 yards on a usually dominant Miami front seven…the Packers defense is very underrated – Nick Barnett was a wild man against Philly…

Cheap shots: Sorry Chiefs, but you’ll need more than Larry Johnson this year…give me one player on the Bucs offense that scares you…why can’t defenses defend when LT throws a halfback pass? I know he’s so dangerous, but seriously, teams are still generally fooled when he cocks his arm back to throw…Jon Kitna plays so well at times and absolutely loses his mind at others…

DeSean Jackson is sick

I know I wrote it in the headline, but I need to write it one more time in drawn out script: DeSean…Jackson…is…sick.

As if this last week wasn’t spectacular enough:

…Jackson had 141 all-purpose yards in a 34-28 win over Colorado State Saturday. Yeah I know, Cal is probably a little overrated right now and obviously it’s way too early for this talk, but I just want to see what Jackson looks like striking a Heisman pose. You know, as possibly a taste of more to come.

Want to earn some extra cash?

This is not a ploy people – I just earned an extra $25 in only three hours! You need to take advantage of this once in a lifetime, guaranteed moneymaking system, now, now, NOW!!!

All you have to do is bet (legally!) against the 2007 University of Michigan Wolverines when they’re playing any team that doesn’t run a conventional offense. The moneymaking system works best when UM is trying to defend a mobile quarterback or a program that runs a spread offense, but really, any scheme that doesn’t just run right at their defense will do just fine. I’m kidding of course…kind of…

On a more serious note, the word “overrated” doesn’t do enough justice to this Michigan team. Those voters who ranked them fifth in the nation before the season, need to be unemployed by Monday after Oregon spanked UM 39-7 at the Big House Saturday.

And how good did Oregon look? I know they were going against a D-III defense, but the Pac-10 better not sleep on Dennis Dixon and the rest of the Ducks, who actually looked great on D.
