The Jets have never been good enough for long enough to hate. Seems like every team in the AFC East has had long periods of domination, but the Jets are always hot and cold. And they did well last season.
(...and, yes, past performance is an indicator of future success. Which is why I put all my money into the buggy whip industry.)
Mandatory knee braces are ingenious. I never trusted the surface since they switched it over to nexTurf, or whatever it is now. Too many weird injuries.

The crowd at St. John Fisher was as sparse as I've seen it. Veteran reporters who've covered this team since they moved training camp here in 2000 said it was among the thinnest and most disengaged gatherings they could remember. Granted, the first practice started at 3 p.m. on a Thursday, but schools aren't in session either. While trying to catch a glimpse of 11-on-11 drills, a few reporters discussed how autographs are such a big part of the training-camp experience, but who on the Bills' roster would compel fans to make the effort? Terrell Owens certainly helped in that regard last year.
