John Cena liked my shirt.
I met John Cena at Smackdown Vs. Raw at Madison Square Garden last Monday night. We went backstage and met John Cena. I shook his hand. He said, "nice shirt." I was wearing a Fighting Whities t-shirt.

Jets Draft Wrap-up
Regarding the pre-draft trade, it was an excellent one. The Jets, to my observations, must have understood that they needed a kicker, a tight end, and a cornerback...all in the first two rounds if they wanted quality. Heath Miller and Justin Miller were players they coveted, along with Mike Nugent. Of course, Heath Miller being taken at 26 would mean they’d have to wait until deep in the 2nd to take anyone else...at which point there would be a debate on whether to take Nugent (if he were even there) or a cornerback that had fallen. Between Eric Green, Bryant McFadden, and several other CBs who were not Antrel Rolle, Pac-Man Jones or Carlos Rogers (who were all destined to go by mid-first round), the Jets recognized that the depth of the CB class could survive a bottom-of-the-2nd-round selection. Nugent, however, had to go sooner. So, the Jets dropped down to mid-2nd and got the Raider’s TE Jolley in exchange for the 26th pick.
The result? The Jets got a TE, K and CB with what were previously only 2 picks. So I’d call that maneuver brilliant.
As far as the rest of the draft goes? It’s all about special teams. Except for Sione Pouha, the 26-year-old DT, who was taken because Antajj Hawthorne tested positive for weed. They’re both 323-pound-range run-stuffers, and Pouha is a risk, but they needed a DT. Kerry Rhodes, S, has been known to block kicks. Andre Maddox, S, is a vicious hitter for return coverage. Cedric Houston is good RB depth, and he’s a Lamont Jordan-style bruiser. Joel Dreessen, the TE taken in the 6th, is also a long-snapper (Good-bye, James Dearth). Harry Williams Jr., taken in the 7th, is a prospect. Too thin, but he could be a possible KR or deep threat. I think Williams was a bit of a waste, but they must have analyzed draft depth and figured the rest of the possible picks were available in spades come undrafted free agency.
