News that won't make Jets fans happy from Mike Lombardi: "Everyone I talk to in and around the NFL feel this job is Schottenheimer’s. He is bright, he is young and he will work with GM Mike Tannenbaum. In the end, the Jets (i.e., Tannenbaum) are more interested in finding someone who will not challenge Mike T.’s power rather than getting the best coach."
I agree with Lombardi that it's not that attractive of a job. The expectations are high, there is no quarterback, and the roster doesn't have a lot of young talent.
Also in that Lombardi article: News that the Cowboys wouldn't seem to mind if Jason Garrett left. How can so much change in a year? Either Jerry Jones misevaluated him them or is misevaluating him now?
The Top-30 Keepers (plus ties!) are finally up.
Chad Pennington is Miami's starter, but I think he will be in a similar situation to Derek Anderson this season. If Miami is more than two games under .500 at any point after midseason, a change will probably be made. It may not be fair, but life's not fair, as Tom Rosenthal always told me.
Troy Aikman would take Eli Manning over Tony Romo. In fantasy, that's an easy call. In reality, to win a game this weekend, I can't believe I'm hesitating. But I'd still take Romo. What say you?

Dave, we're not talking about Fantasy Football. Gregg specified that he'd still take Romo in "reality" as well as "fantasy."
You can throw out all the stats you want. But tell me, who do you want leading your team down the field in the 4th quarter with 2 minutes left to win the game? I just don't see how you could take Romo at this point in their careers.

its not about fantasy points durring the season but the guy that comes through in the clutch and Romo has proven to be a choke master. So says his record.

Ouch. That sure wasn't a performance of a champion. Manning didn't even have Jessica to distract him.
