‘”I think of all those people who were calling me and telling me how stupid I was,” Gilbride the car salesman said. “Well, my response to them is, ‘How stupid does one have to be to think that a professional coach would have his phone number listed and subject himself to all of this abuse?’ “‘

‘Kendall (6-5, 280), center Kevin Mawae (6-4, 289) and right guard Brandon Moore (6-3, 295) – the interior of the Jets’ efficient, but undersized offensive line – will be responsible for blocking Adams and Williams. The Buffalo tandem is listed at 6-3, 330 and 6-3, 310, respectively, but it doesn’t take a Richard Simmons to figure out they’re both in the 340-pound range, give or take an all-you-can-eat buffet.’
