Jake Kring-Schreifels and Alex Smith were joined by Mike Sielski, The Wall Street Journal's Jets beat writer, and Paul Schwartz, the New York Post's Giants beat writer, for a firendly NY football debate. They talked about the developments in both camps, especially Tebow's wildcat and the bad bed situation in Albany.

The first Giants-Jets game. August 17, 1969...Yale Bowl, New Haven, CT.
The Jets were coming off a Super Bowl victory and needed to prove their victory over Baltimore wasn't a fluke. The two teams and the two leagues did not like each other...and that's putting it nicely.
Nolan and Mack discuss the upcoming NFL season with CBSSports.com Senior Writer Clark Judge on Saturday's episode of One on One. He gives his take on the Jets and Giants, plus the Saints' suspensions and some of the most intriguing rookies.
While reporters from nearly every sports network have weighed in on the Tebow trade, few if any, have said the deal could benefit the Jets current starting quarterback, Mark Sanchez. Unlike much of the New York press, I do not doubt Sanchez’s self-confidence. This is a kid, who was taken with the 6th overall pick 3 years ago, after only one full year starting at USC. Simply put, he was that impressive.
2004 was the first time...and then back-to-back in 2007 and 2008. WFUV was awarded theaward for Best Coverage of a Local Sporting Event by The New York State Broadcasters Association. Back in 2004 Pat Reichart wrote a story about that first award

After a brief contractual impasse, there is a new quarterback in New York.
The Jets officially acquired Tim Tebow late Wednesday night. The highly polarizing player sometimes draws criticism for his unorthodox style, and other times admiration for his off the field persona and unlikely victories in the clutch. But with sports retail stores like Modells already stocking up on Tebow merchandise, his trade could mean more than just another new face on the Jets’ sideline.
Even for those who do not breathlessly follow every happening in Hollywood, the quartet of ceremonies --- Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, and Tonys --- always attracts casual fans, just to see what movies, songs, television programs and Broadway shows that they’ve seen or heard over the past year take home honors. I must confess that I am one of these casual fans, except when it comes to the Grammys; being a lover of music, I usually know all of the songs or albums nominated for the prestigious award.
New York Jet fans have grown accustomed to big guarantees over the last few years. Namely, Rex Ryan’s press conference promises about his team heading to the Super Bowl all of the last three years. None of them have come true however. It seems now that a guarantee is only a PR move, and usually a negative one, brazened confidence that lacks character and depth. But back in the Jets’ heyday, when a kid named “Broadway Joe” helmed the most important position in football, guarantees weren’t for show; they were for real.
