Filed this for the newspaper earlier and would have posted it here but I was in the Mets clubhouse from 3:30-6. I know: problems, problems. Anyway, here's what's in the Saturday paper:
"Scott Cohen joined the Jets Friday as the team’s assistant general manager, a new position within the organization. The Jets have not formally announced the move but a team source confirmed Cohen’s arrival. Cohen, who spent the last eight years with the Eagles in their pro personnel department, will report directly to Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum. One result of the move is Terry Bradway, the Jets current director of player personnel, spending more time on the road scouting college players."
And there you have it.
Interesting weekend coming up: off to Hartford, Conn. for Eric Mangini's football camp Saturday and then - Roger don't think I'm not thinking about you here - Jets Flight Crew final tryouts on Sunday. That's right. 'Nuff said. Back with updates of some sort.

Make sure you stop at Pilot off exit 40 for all your fueling and traveling needs!
Boland,
3 Words for you, buddy.....
Pictures, Pictures, Pictures
And oh yeah, did I mention pictures?
Erik great job on this blog, much appreciated.
I hear Bradway is hitting the road to be a full time scout. Can the Jets send him to scout the Russian football league in Siberia :)
Erik, just wanted to let you know we appreciate your blogs and your prompt responses each and every time. Thanks, buddy.
Nice work again Erik. Any move that takes away managerial responsibilties away from the GM that was fleeced by the Skins the way he was is a good thing. I'm surprised that year didn't get him kicked out of the organization. But supposedly his strength is evaluating talent. I don't see it. He did give away our #1 pick for Doug Jolly.
Alright enough bad memories. This regime will hopefully remove the laughing stock stigma from moves like that.
Erik: Do you have a picture of Scott? I think I know him. If it's the same guy, he was a quarterback for Dickinson then became a scout for the Foreskins....

Erik, great blog ! You really connect with the fans! You bring more than just Jet news, you bring an upbeat enthusiasm! Keep up the good work!
We jet fans are feeling confident for 08, and with the hiring of Cohen, the future of this organization is also heading in the right direction.
The jets are finally acquiring the players they need ,both in talent and character.
The first couple of years with new management is the toughest , but things are now taking shape!
I can't wait for September! Go Jets!
Jay $, I stop there any time I'm traveling up Rt. 95, and back, of course.
Roger, no promises. Just remember, as badly as you want those shots, I, well, you know.
J., uh, um, no.
And I appreciate the nice comments about the blog. Still a work in progress.
I like what you are doing over here--KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Erik, I have a feeling that if you keep doing what you are doing, that you will have a HUGE blog!
Keep it coming and feed us fans with the info and zeal that we crave!
We Jet fans are a special breed !
