Palladino: Losers -- Er, Gripers -- Come Out In Jets' Locker Room
You watched the Jets stumble and bumble for nine games and you just wondered when it had to start -- the backbiting, the anonymous grumbles from within. It happens with all losers.

You watched the Jets stumble and bumble for nine games and you just wondered when it had to start -- the backbiting, the anonymous grumbles from within. It happens with all losers.
"I can control my attitude, my effort and my work ethic," said Tebow. "Those are things that will never change based on what anybody says."
Perhaps if all the players -- anonymous or otherwise -- worked as hard as Tebow, then the Jets wouldn't be 3-6. To bash him for doing his job is beyond comprehension. And that is the great tragedy of this story.
Sure, Mark Sanchez has taken his fair share of lumps. But you could argue the Tebow talk has been just as bad, if not worse -- and now it's coming straight from the Jets' locker room.
Maybin has been waived by the Jets, a season after he led the team with six sacks.
The Jets have reportedly signed running Kahlil Bell and released linebacker Aaron Maybin.
One word has surfaced again and again since the Jets' acquisition of backup quarterback Tim Tebow: Distraction.
We all saw this coming. Predicted from Denver to Cortland to the West Wing, the Jets' quarterback controversy has all but boiled over.
According to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com, the New York Jets are working out free agent running backs Steve Slaton and Kahlil Bell.
Rex has no answers. But he's going to continue searching, even if we all know there really is no treasure hidden in the Jets' depth chart.
The numbers and their recent level of performance indicate the Jets are done for 2012. Their comments say otherwise.
Mark Sanchez can still win in the NFL. He just can't win in New York. Sanchez has been set up to go down for two years.
The Jets are a disaster, and no one change at any position, including quarterback, regardless if the player getting the call is as potentially dynamic as Tim Tebow, will matter.
It occurs every year, it seems. The Giants start off hot, and then turn utterly human in the second half of the season. It's happening again, only it may be even worse this time.
Mark Sanchez's reunion with Pete Carroll became another performance he would rather forget. And it left Rex Ryan again defending his decision about who the Jets' quarterback should be in what has become a lost season in New York.
This may seem like a harsh way of reacting to Sunday's loss, but the Jets stink right now -- top to bottom. It's time to hit ctrl-alt-delete.
It's time for Rex Ryan to embrace his only chance at saving the season: a Tim Tebow miracle.
Seattle Seahawks sent the New York Jets to their worst start since 2007 with a 28-7 win on Sunday.
The Jets made backup outside linebacker Aaron Maybin inactive.
Mark Sanchez remembers those meetings at USC when Pete Carroll made sure to mention that the Trojans would be facing a former coach at a new school and just how important winning that game was to the head coach.
The Jets need to play their best game of the season in Seattle tomorrow. Many fans have already written this team off after the first half of the season, and their 3-5 record couldn't be more unimpressive.
The Jets could not manage any offense that day and lost, 13-3. The Seahawks — and their stadium and fans — had a lot to do with it.
Rex Ryan started the tradition of tongue teasers, and actually backed it up with consecutive trips to the AFC title game. Now it's noise.
The odor of losing continues to linger at 1 Jets Drive, and it's going to take a monumental effort by everyone to air the place out. Guess what? Not gonna happen Sunday.
That's it. We're calling it. The old, boisterous, guarantee-making Jets are officially back.
