Not sure what has been more uncomfortable today – watching the video of the incredibly talented writer Buzz Bissinger transform himself into a horse’s you-know-what last night on HBO while going off on bloggers, or just now watching Bill O’Reilly interview Hillary Clinton. A drowsy numbness pains my senses. Braylon Edwards, who shared the stage Tuesday night with Bob Costas, Bissinger and Deadspin's Will Leitch and became that evening's Mr. Irrelevant, knows what I mean.
As an aside, clutch job by Leitch by coming up with "The Professional" on the spot, all with Bissinger giving a look not unlike Mike Tyson's when he uttered his "I want to eat his children" speech.
So, anyway, the Danny Woodhead story I talked about two days and again today, yes, well it’s now getting pushed to the Friday paper to serve as an advance of sorts for this weekend’s rookie minicamp. Sigh.
Also, because the Jets as a policy do not confirm the players they’re bringing into the rookie camp until the weekend, the names get out primarily because of mentions that might occur in the hometown paper of a given player. Brian Bassett, who operates thejetsblog, having combed the Internet, today ran a pretty comprehensive list of players, complete with analysis, who will be at Hofstra this weekend.
Hoping to have something on Erik Ainge tomorrow afternoon, but we’re still working on it.

if Nate Lyles doesn't make the squad, i will be surprised, he's a Mangina guy - he busted his ass in college and can lay some hits on people. he came back from a broken neck, which is why he wasn't scouted harder. he can play, and he's a character guy to boot
Erik: Despite your Cleveland handicap - the fact that you're from Ohio, not that you rooted for the Brownies ;-), I think you're doing a fine job. Keep up the good work.
Erik,
Do you have any idea how Justin Miller is doing? CB seemed to have been one of the Jets biggest needs and they barely addressed it in the draft. Could it be they're counting on Miller?
Drowsy Numbness was Bill O'Reilly's nickname in high school. Thank you, I'll be here all night. Try the veal.
Greg, Miller is expected to be ready to go. As the roster is now, it's safe to say while the Jets aren't depending on Miller, they think he'll be a significant contributor.
J., Love the C-town crack. I can handle it.
Andy...what can I say other than, good work.
