Mangini Speaks at the Combine

File Under: Chad Pennington, Eric Mangini, Jonathan Vilma, Laveranues Coles, Kellen Clemens, NFL Combine

A big banner hangs across one of the many second-floor walkways that span the streets of downtown Indianapolis. It contains the slogan "2008 Starts Now" positioned right next to the NFL Scouting Combine logo.

It's true enough as the next draft class of 300-plus college players goes through the annual ritual of being prodded and poked, measured and tested, audiotaped and videotaped under the big w… More

"All the family wanted to come to the game, so he thought he would give up his ticket," Jabar said from the Patriots' Kierland, Ariz., hotel this week. "He set an … More

Among other themes, this is Jerricho Cotchery week. J-Co, with an injured right index finger that you'd figure is crucial to catching any given pass and with an injured Laveranues Coles that we all know is crucial to other receivers catching a lot of passes.

Yet Cotchery cranked it up a notch during his eight-catch, 152-yard, one-TD day.

Mangini Still Gauging Clemens Status

File Under: Eric Mangini, Laveranues Coles, Kellen Clemens, Brandon Moore, Will Montgomery, Clint Oldenburg, Robert Turner

On this day before Christmas, Jets head coach Eric Mangini held a short teleconference with reporters. The QB topic is always a hot one and Mangini was asked if it was important for the Jets to get another look at Kellen Clemens when the Jets host the Chiefs in their regular-season finale.

“You’d like to see him be able to play if he can play,” Mangini said of his second-year passer. “But the imp… More
