Jets Too Physical, May Miss Last Week of OTA

According to Newsday, the Jets may end up being sanctioned by the NFL Players Association because of contact drills between offensive and defensive linemen that have been going on in the Jets off-season Mini-Camps. According to NFL regulations, there are to be no drills in OTA's during the off-season that involve any sort of contact. This information was apparantley leaked from someone in the Jets camp, which begs the question... who was it?

But do you really have to think that hard? Who was holding out on the Mini-Camps because he wanted a new contract? Who had complained last year that Mangenius was running practices that were "too hard and tough" on the Vets? Although you may think Coles (who complains about practice more than Allen Iverson, but doesn't rap about it) would be someone who would leak this info, I highly doubt it. Unless Laveranues is so un-interested in the Widereciever drills that he worries about his buddies on the O-Line, the rat has to be Pete Kendall.

Pete Kendall without the mask

So, even though we dont have 100% assurance that it is in fact this rat who is leaking information to get back at the organization, we know we are in good hands because:

A) Tangini really is not trying to give this over the hill stubborn overrated LG a new contract extension that he wants, so he will probably be gone before the season starts anyway.

B) In the Mafia, how do made-men deal with Rats? They whack them. Was our fearless leader Eric Mangenius not just on the Sopranos? He was. Make the call to Italy.

C) Joe Andruzzi is going to be in the Green and White and taking Kendalls spot on the roster for next season anyway, and Joe Andruzzi is a much cooler name than Pete Kendall. Kendall sounds like someone off of Leave it to Beaver.

So my message to Pete Kendall, if you wanna cry about drills being too physical, go play for the Patriots because we all know that Brady is softer than a pillow. The only thing you'll be protecting him from is credit card charges (anyone else remember that commercial with Brady and his o-line at the restaurant table?).

I smell a rat.
