File Under: Adrian Peterson, Phil Simms, Eric Allen, Tony Richardson, Jets Radio
09/04 — Eric Allen and I have been working diligently, in between posting our daily stories and Radar entries, to get Jets Radio up and running. And we'll give you a double dose of Internet programming this week in advance of the Jets' season opener at Miami.
"Paving the Way with T-Rich" will be available on the newyorkjets.com home page and the multmedia home page this afternoon. It's the second show that fullback Tony Richardson and Allen have put together and the first of T-Rich's weekly endeavors during the season. This week's show will be available Thursday but the plan is to have "Paving the Way" ready to roll out every Wednesday afternoon.
On today's show, Richardson as always talks about many topics that have affected the Jets — the season opener ahead, the competitive advantages of the new Atlantic Health Training Center, Richardson's journey to Washington for the funeral services for NFLPA director Gene Upshaw, and blocking for then-rookie Adrian Peterson's NFL-record 296-yard rushing day for the Vikings last year.
Friday evening, EA and I will unveil our first "Jets Two-Minute Drive," a preview of the upcoming game that will be prominently displayed on our site through the day of the game.
Each week we're planning to bring in a special guest and this week we'll have one of the very best network analysts in the game, Phil Simms, who will be calling the game along with partner Jim Nantz for CBS on Sunday. Simms provides his provocative views on Brett Favre, Chad Pennington, and the effect of all the new players and the new building on the Jets' 2008 prospects.
We hope you'll try give our radio shows a listen along with continuing to give our stories a read every week during the Green & White season that's about to erupt in just three days.

But I looked ahead on the channel and says the Steelers are playing (we usually get them). Could you please tell me who will be telivised if theres anyway? And if you think its the Steelers, the Jets radio station is 1050 ESPN?"
Randy Lange Said:
"Tanner, the Jets-Dolphins game is not being nationally televised but it will be available in a large portion of the country on CBS. If you're in Steelers country, I'd say you're getting Houston at Pittsburgh. The Jets' radio stations are 1050AM ESPN New York and 770AM WABC."

He doesn't like the fact that Brett is here and TOO BAD!!! YOU'RE LETTING YOUR TEAM DOWN, ON PURPOSE! PLAY 100% OR ASK FOR A TRADE AND GET OUT!"
