FLORHAM PARK, N.
Dak
Prescott Cowboys Jersey .J. -- Add yet another chapter to the long-running
saga that is the New York Jets-New England Patriots rivalry. But, heres a new
twist: Rex Ryan actually defended Bill Belichick. Wait. Say what? Well, it
started Thursday when a profile on Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine published
on Sports Illustrateds theMMQB.com site included a revelation from the former
Jets defensive co-ordinator that suggested New England might have obtained a
copy of New Yorks playbook a few years ago. Pettine said Ryan, his longtime
buddy, once gave Alabama coach Nick Saban a playbook -- and Pettine warned that
Belichick and Saban are close friends. At the wedding of then-Patriots wide
receiver Wes Welker a few years ago, Tom Brady bragged to former Jets assistant
Mike Smith that New England might have gotten its hands on one of its rivals
playbooks. "It didnt shock me," Pettine told the site, "because Rex would give
them out like candy anyway." After the Jets completed their final minicamp
practice, Ryan became agitated at times when asked about the story. The Jets
coach refuted the suggestion that Saban -- who is also friends with Ryan --
might have given Belichick and the Patriots a sneak peek. "One thing I know for
a fact, No. 1, I think its disrespectful to New England to say, Oh, they did
this," Ryan said. "I can tell you every single game weve ever had with New
England has been decided on the field. Nobodys had a competitive advantage.
Nobodys had anything else. And thats a fact." The Patriots have won seven of the
11 games against the Jets since Ryan became New Yorks coach in 2009. Ryan said
in the Jets losses, Belichicks bunch simply "outperformed us." So, this is, of
course, not quite a scandal such as Spygate. Then, came the bombshell moment.
"To discredit somebody like Belichick, who is a real coach, studies his butt
off," Ryan said, "is ridiculous." Ryan explained that every team frequently
changes its playbooks, tailoring plans to specific opponents. Theyre also coded
in ways that would be difficult for opponents to completely decipher. "To me, I
think its ridiculous," Ryan said. "But I think it sounds like everybody needs to
talk to Pettine, because apparently hes got all the information." Alabama
associate athletic director Jeff Purinton confirmed that Saban has a copy of the
playbook Ryan gave to him -- and it has remained in his office at the school.
Belichick opted to not comment after the Patriots practice. "Talk to Mike
Pettine," Belichick said. "I dont know." In the interview, Pettine used the
anecdote to explain why he doesnt have thick playbooks -- just in case they end
up in the wrong hands. Ryan acknowledged he wasnt sure if Pettine was just
displaying his dry sense of humour, but was clearly irked by the whole
situation. "I dont understand what hes trying to gain by it," Ryan said. "Thats
up to Mike and hes certainly free to do whatever he chooses." Pettine and Ryan
have been friends for years, dating to their days together in Baltimore. Pettine
was Ryans defensive co-ordinator in New York before he left to take the same
position in Buffalo in 2012. Cleveland hired Pettine as its head coach this
off-season. Ryan was asked if a first-year head coach such as Pettine might
consider staying out of the spotlight. "Yeah, he needs to learn to be quiet,"
said a smiling Ryan, whose mouth certainly has gotten him in trouble over the
years. "Absolutely." The Jets coach then continued to lighten the mood, saying
the story was being "a bit overblown" and analyzed his relationship with
Pettine. "Its in a bad spot right now," a laughing Ryan said. "Like, really
dude? Seriously?" Ryan later praised Pettine for his work by his side for so
many years and acknowledged that he was proud of him for becoming a head coach
in the NFL. So, will Ryan reach out to Pettine to smooth things over? "I dont
need to," Ryan said with a grin. "Im going on vacation." Hmmm. Picture it: Ryan
and Belichick having fun in the sun on Cape Cod. Now that would be some plot
twist. NOTES: The Jets signed a pair of "camp legs" -- K Andrew Furney and P
Jacob Schum -- and released TE Terrence Miller, putting their roster at 90
players. ... LB David Harris sat out with a hamstring issue that isnt serious.
Ryan joked that Harris absence was a result of "the playbook issue." ... Ryan
said hes "pretty optimistic" that RB Chris Johnson will be ready to participate
in training camp next month. Johnson is coming off off-season knee surgery. Ryan
suggested the Jets could use "pitch counts" for Johnson to limit his practice
days.

American Hockey League action.
http://www.thecowboysfansmall.com/c-64-cowboys-charles-haley-jersey.aspx . In the second game of their day/night doubleheader at Minneapolis, three Blue
Jays pitchers, Steve Delabar, Sergio Santos and J.(SportsNetwork.com) - The
Charlotte Hornets failed in an attempt to keep their winning streak intact, so
theyll try to start a new one Saturday versus the Indiana Pacers at Time Warner
Cable Arena. The Hornets were riding a five-game winning streak until they
opened a four- game homestand with Wednesdays 98-93 loss to the San Antonio
Spurs. Manu Ginobili led the visitors with 27 points off the bench and Kemba
Walker countered with 28 for the Hornets. Walker, the Eastern Conference Player
of the Week for games played Jan. 5-11, has scored 28 points or more in six
straight games, posting an average of 29.8 ppg in that time. Bismack Biyombo
recorded 12 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to go with five blocks for Charlotte,
which made only 38.4 percent of its shot and fell to 8-13 at home this season.
Against a team like that, you cant have a stretch of five minutes with no
defense, said Hornets coach Steve Clifford. Youre not going to win. Lance
Stephenson returned from a 14-game absence with a pelvic injury and scored five
points. On Saturday, hell face the team he played with the first four seasons of
his career with before bolting this summer via free agency. The Hornets have
held the last seven opponents under 100 points and will also host the Minnesota
Timberwolves and Miami Heat on the homestand.
Michael
Irvin Jersey. Hornets guards Gerald Henderson (illness) and Gary Neal
(hamstring) are questionable. The Pacers are slumping, losing three straight and
all to teams with sub-.500 records. The last two came at home, but Indiana hits
the road, starting Saturday. On Friday, the Pacers fell to the red-hot Detroit
Pistons, 98-96. Andre Drummond turned defense into offense for the Pistons. He
took a charge from Roy Hibbert with 23.9 seconds left and then tipped in the
winning shot with 0.3 seconds remaining. It was definitely a difficult game. It
was in our favor. We just have to learn to put games away, Indiana forward
Solomon Hill said. Hibbert had 14 points, while David West and Damjan Rudez each
scored 13 for the Pacers. Ian Mahinmi finished with 12, followed by 11 from
Donald Sloan and 10 out of Hill. After their stop in Charlotte, the Pacers will
also visit the Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat and Orlando Magic on
this sojourn through the southern part of America. The Pacers edged the Hornets,
88-86, on Nov. 19, as Hills putback as time expired sealed the win for Indiana.
Al Jefferson posted 28 points in that one for Charlotte, which has lost 16 of
the last 19 games in this series. Indiana and Charlotte will meet again Feb. 8
and April 3.
