08/07 — Things are unfurling quickly in regard to our New York Jets flag crew.
Denise Garvey, the new group's choreographer and the former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and New York Knicks City Dancer, was at the Jets' Sunday practice at Fordham. You could tell as she studied the field during the Green & White Game that she was envisioning her crew's current routines and contemplating new dance numbers.
And word down the hall from my den of inquiry on the second floor of the Jets' training complex, filtering out of the game operations department, is that today will be the first of many big days in the life of the 10-woman crew.
If you're reading this blog before 7 a.m. today and want to see the group's premiere, turn on the CW11 Morning News. They're expected to perform and be interviewed from the 7-8 a.m. hour.
And at that time their name will be officially unveiled, although the rumor — you heard it on the Radar first — is that the name will be the New York Jets Flight Crew.
From its first television appearance and debut, the crew will then fly (figuratively, not literally) to Hofstra University for its first news conference. The Flight Crew members are set to appear today in their warmup outfits. They will be in their new uniforms for the first time at the Jets' season opener at home against the Patriots on Sept. 9.
More details to come. Be ready for news developments on a regular basis beginning today involving the new Green & White standard bearers, the Jets Flight Crew.

C'mon now, next you'll be wanting us to believe you were there to cover the attack on Pearl Harbor! <grin> I'd say it's more likely you were somewhere in grade school when Murray the K made a fool of himself. Congrats on the Jets job! (yeah, I'm a little slow)."

Sorry the only flags i want to see are AFC Eastern Division Title,AFC Championship,and Super Bowl flying high above the stadium. After seeing Joe Walsh rock out last night i suggest Mulligan plays Rocky Mountain Ways to liven it up."

Now my brilliant (at least to me) rejoinder is a complete non-sequiter. <sigh> On topic, it's nice to see that the flag crew isn't intended to JUST be pretty faces, but talented performers as well."
Randy Lange Said:
"Gregg, I prefer to call it editing, although I'm glad some are still left to appreciate a good Fab Four reference. Uniform information was more important to get in this morning."
