A Brief History

The New York Jets are a professional American football team based in the New York metropolitan area. They are members of the Eastern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The team plays their home games in East Rutherford, New Jersey at Giants Stadium, which is named after another NFL team that plays there, the New York Giants. The Jets officially refer to the venue as "The Meadowlands," a name used on all official NFL and team game notes regarding Jets' home games.

The club's headquarters and training facility are located at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York on Long Island. They are constructing a new training facility and corporate headquarters in Florham Park, New Jersey.

The team began in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League under the name New York Titans. It was renamed after Sonny Werblin bought the team in 1963. The Jets later joined the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL Merger.

The Jets hold the distinction of being the first AFL team to defeat an NFL club in an AFL-NFL World Championship Game when they defeated the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III.

OK, so Rhodes wasn't responsible for any of this. But if you listen to some of the Jets, you could be excused for believing he was. Evidently, many of their ills last season were due to the photogenic free safety, who was traded to Arizona in March after falling out of favor with the coaching staff.

Rhodes' relationship with the coaching staff, particularly defensive coordinator Mike Pettine and secondary coach Dennis Thurman, turned contentious...

Jets' Jenkins dropping weight while eating cookies (AP)
Kris Jenkins is dropping pounds by eating cookies -- oatmeal raisin, chocolate. Six of them every day. Since May, the New York Jets' hefty nose tackle has shed 20 pounds, putting him at a svelte 365. "It sounds funny, but I got serious about it," he said. "And, I have to say, it has been going great." The 6-foot-4 Jenkins was up to 390 -- 30 more than his normal playing weight...
