Did anyone see Hard Knocks ft. the Jets? Coach Rex Ryan is an interesting character. I can't understand why they haven't rained millions on Revis' island.

Revis is under contract for 2 more years. They feel their defense is good enough they don't need to bow to him. Other teams are going: "Cut him loose. We'll pay him."

His performance is beyond that 2 year contract and he is also helping the Jets' business through his electrifying performance. The Revis jersey is a top seller for a reason.

If Cleveland can pay Joe Haden for potential, I think a pay raise is merited for actual results on the field. The Jets are going to pay the man!

DaveS, your Colts need to reevaluate your backup QB situation. Curtis Painter is hot garbage. He stinks!

You will get no argument from me on that or from anyone in the state for that matter. Though it would be interesting to see him play with the first team just once to decide if they should cut him or not. But I would think a move of some kind is in order.

Who cares. Manning has never missed a game in his career.

He might if Saturday doesn't get back soon.

Peyton Manning and the entire Colts organization care. Jeff Saturday is almost as important to the Colts offense as Peyton. He shouldn't rush his recovery from knee surgery!

I don't ever recall anyone scheduling an injury.

Last year Brett Favre proved he can come in and play when the season starts and be productive so I don't think he necessarily "needs" training camp to sharpen his skills and timing. I think we would all agree he certainly IS a special athlete but while his situation may be unique, I think it sets a bad precedent. Who is the next great athlete that will pull this annual stunt of avoiding training camp?

I think he would get a lot more respect if he just came out and said, "I don't want anything to do with training camp. I think it actually harms and breaks down my body more than it does it any good. I just want to play the season only."

Rather than this crap about retire/unretire, not sure I want to play, etc. Then when training camp breaks....yea, I think I'll play this year. I think he is insulting a lot of people's intelligence. And no matter what his teammates say in the newspapers, there HAS to be several that resent it. They just won't say it publicily or to a hall of famer's face. He may have earned a lot of things but I think blowing off training camps is not acceptable. If you don't think your body can take the 8 week training camp PLUS the 17 game season....then stay retired.

I don't care if he goes to training camp. I'm sure the Vikings don't, given their options if he doesn't play.
But the annual premature retirement party has gotten old.
