Hat tip to my wife, who sent me this story (with the personal message girls rule; boys drool, BTW). Seems like it will just be a matter of time before one of these young ladies makes an impact at the collegiate level as well. I know there was an effort made at Colorado a few years back that turned into a bit of a debacle.
Given the recent reports of the Jets recent juvenile behavior when placed in the vicinity of a female reporter, we may have a way to go before we work out an environment where a female athlete can perform at those levels.
And BTW, this goes back to all those defenders of Jets coach Rex Ryan when he was called to task by Tony Dungy for cursing too much in his Hard Knocks cameos. No BFD to the Rex-apologists, right?
- a lack of professionalism and maturity in one area leaks very easily into other areas
- actions speak louder than words (an area most of the Ryan clan needs work in)
- Jets will always be second-class citizens in GIANTS Stadium and NY in general
- the "Meadowlands" are not much more than a combo racetrack, ex-union leader burial ground and garbage dump without the Giants presence for the last 30 years.
Maybe the theme for this weeks Jets practices should be to mature to somewhat above the level of a wet-dreaming adolescent. Grow up a little and figure out how to get in the end zone. If you can't do that, at least have a little class. Maybe I ask for too much.

Female stand-in helps Michigan football team earn a win
By Cameron Smith
In Romeo (Mich.) High School's second football game of the season, the Bulldogs upset Dakota (Mich.), 17-10, for their first win of the season. One player accounted for five of the seven points that served as buffer between the teams, and it was her first week on a football field.
