09/03 — Tonight's game marks the ninth consecutive preseason that the Jets and the Eagles have met in the preseason finale.  The two teams have played in the preseason every year since 1985, with the exception being the 2000 season.

Just a couple of hours before kickoff, the Green & White announced the signing of TE Ben Hartsock.  The 6'4", 270-pounder, who was released by the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday, was given No. 48 but he won't dress.  It is expected the Jets' starters will get just one series of action while Eagles QB Michael Vick will see extended time behind center for the visitors.

Late this afternoon, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that Vick will be eligible to play in the third week of the regular season.  According to the Associated Press' Dennis Waszak (who's working at a ridiculous pace right next to me at the moment), the Commissioner met with Vick in New Jersey for 45 to 50 minutes this morning.

"Hopefully we can have a success story here, which would be good for society in general," Goodell said. "He's realistic about the challenges ahead. And anxious to play football."

We'll begin the chat minutes before kickoff.  This is a chat intended for everyone, so let's keep it clean.  While some comments will be posted, we encourage you all to ask questions. I'll get to as many as I can and thanks for your continued interaction.
