Bart Scott opened up today, talking about a variety of subjects, including commissioner Roger Goodell, and his stance on the Pro Bowl. He feels that the commissioner should leave it alone, that it is important to keep:
“It’s an All-Star game, it’s not about the game it’s about the festivities,” Scott said. “It’s about the fans being able to get close to the players and be there during the week to see the events they do. The game is just a cherry on top. “What are you going to put on the line for it? Who wants to get hurt the last game of the season and spend their whole vacation rehabbing? What do you expect. It’s about the festivities.
Bart feels that the commissioner has no place getting rid of the game, and says the game will be there “before” and “after his reign”. Scott says they should improve the festivities and/or the weekend, and to leave the game alone.

Alan has been a passionate Jets fan since 1985. Obviously, that means he is a glutton for punishment, as he has suffered through many Jets disappointments. He remembers Mark Gastineau's late hit in the 1986 AFC Divisional Playoff game like it was yesterday. There have been many more failures than successes, but through it all, Alan has remained true to the Gang Green. He has been blogging for the Jets on various websites for the past 5-6 years. He lives and breathes the NY Jets all year round, and is committed to bringing the Jets passion to "The Jet Press" on a daily basis.
