Just a few quickie notes from pre-game here at Gi@#%$ Stadium:
There have been no announcements made, but judging from warm-ups, CBs Justin Miller and Andre Dyson and RB Thomas Jones will not be available. None of them were dressed. Look for Darrelle Revis to start at CB with David Barrett.
Jacob Bender was taking pregame reps with the first team. Gulp. We'll be keeping a close eye on him. Word is that his father drove his Harley to the game. Hope he had a pre-paid parking pass.
I'm over in the visiting side of the press box, so I can't chit-chat with Staple and Glauber. It's a pretty different vantage point from over here (though I've been here for Red Bulls games before). A few of the Jets writers have elbowed their way into the Giants side. I'll stay here and spread out.
The Jets are the visiting team and are wearing white over white.
Glauber is on TV. He's wearing white under pinstripes.

Gotta love T-Rock's refusal to spell "You-Know What" Stadium in the blog. I've always found it atrocious for the Jets to be playing in a place named after another team. Classic!
Who cares whom the stadium is named after? It could be named "Al Qaeda Stadium" for all I care. The Giants don't "own" it; it doesn't belong to them. They lease it from the NJ Sports & Exhibition Authority. They pay rent just as the Jets do. The only real difference is that the Giants got there first.
Bender is horrible. Clarke is horrible. Jets better figure out what they're going to do at G before NE or Chad will have another season ending shoulder injury this year.
Jimmy, there's really something wrong with you if you would attend games at Al Qaeda stadium. By the way, what will the name of the new joint be?
"By the way, what will the name of the new joint be"?
The entire sporting world will call it the new Giants Stadium, and Woody Johnson is a laughingstock for paying half the costs of the Giants new Stadium.
He should have just paid rent allowing Jet fans to keep hope alive in returning to NYC
