Vilma still wants to be a Jet, and other insane thoughts

Jets’ LB Jonathan Vilma says he wants to be a Jet next year after he recovers from knee surgery. Doctors are now testing him for brain damage possibly suffered during the surgery.

The Jets will be honoring former RB Curtis Martin this Sundaywhen they host the Steelers. The Patriots also have plans to honor Martin by finding former GM Bobby Grier and slapping him repeatedly for letting Martin go.

If the Bills are going to pull a major upset on Sunday night, they’ll have to use all their players, not just WR Lee Evans. Well, duh, you get to use 11 players on the field at once, silly.

One of those players might have to be punt returner Roscoe Parrish, who is on a record pace for the Bills. Of course, counting on your punt returner for help against a team that has punted only 21 times through 9 games might be a stretch.

Eagles’ coach Andy Reid is not taking the 0-9 Dolphins lightly. But then again, judging by Reid’s size he doesn’t take much lightly, except maybe salad or fruit.

The Dolphins are trying not to think about 0-16. They are focusing on one game at a time, knowing they have to get to 0-10 before they can worry about 0-16.

Will the Patriots find motivation in the obvious Pro Bowl voting snubs of Kyle Eckel and Russ Hochstein?

With all the primetime games coming up for the Patriots, will the late nights and short weeks have a detrimental effect on the veteran-ladened Patriots? And, more importantly, will somebody be TiVo-ing Matlock for them?
