HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -When the New York Jets were considering adding Kenyon Coleman to their defensive line during the offseason, they sought out Bill Parcells. After all, he had coached Coleman for the last four seasons in Dallas and ran a 3-4 defensive scheme similar to that of the Jets' Eric Mangini. The former Cowboys coach apparently gave a glowing recommendation. ``Oh, I'm thrilled about it,'' said Coleman, who was signed by the Jets to a five-year contract in March. ``The thing about Bill is th |

| (MySportsbook) - It's all about maybes for the New York Jets. Maybe the first-week home blowout at the hands of New England wasn't as indicative of season-long failure as it seemed. Maybe the Patriots' clandestine sideline videotaping provided enough of an advantage to explain away a 24-point schedule-opening debacle. Maybe Chad Pennington's ankle isn't as hurt as it looked while he gimped clumsily off the field resembling a third-quarter drunk on a Section 301 stairway. And maybe a subsequently inconveni |

It would be understandable if the reigning MVP grinned about that punishment imposed on New England coach Bill Belichick and his club for videotaping the New York Jets' coaches in last Sunday's season-opening 38-14 win. After all, San Diego's 24-21 second-round playoff loss last season left a bad taste in Tomlinson's mouth. He had to be held back after Patriots players angered him by celebrating at midfield in h |

| PHIA (AP) -Eagles backup quarterback A.J. Feeley had a second operation on his injured non-throwing hand Friday, one day after the hand swelled following practice. Feeley broke a bone in his left hand in the Eagles' last preseason game against the New York Jets at the end of August. His hand swelled after practice Thursday, and that prompted doctors to operate again, inserting a plate and ``synthetic bone material.'' Feeley speculated that screws inserted into his hand in the first operation might have |
