    I think he’s going for the $. No one goes to the Jets to win.

    Disagree. Is he gonna make more money? I guess he could. But it’s not a recipe for success.

    Huh? Who are you referring to? Perkins was a Texas/Louisiana kid.

    He’s all about the money, not collecting rings. Not my favorite

    He went to LSU and his name is Harold Perkins.. his mother wanted him to go the Florida, she loved the Gators, and he was set to sign with us until LSU came to him really late in the process with big bags of cash. But yes, he's from the state of Texas.

    He''s from Texas, but he was ours until the very end when LSU got him for the last minute visit. His mom was all on the Gators' train too. He's the one hat got away. Kids say they were fans of schools from other states all the time. And my point is that it means NOTHING.

    I thought we got on Perkins late as well. Don’t recall him being a lifelong Gator fan but he might have been. Not sure how he relates to rodgers and the salary cap.

    Aaron is about Aaron.. great QB, but he’s not Tom Brady, Manning, Montana. Those guys gave up “self” for Team.

    That’s why I will never put him in the category with those guys.

    Don't get stuck on the minutia, kids from all over the country have followed the Gators in the past. He and his mother were 100% Gator leans late in the recruiting process, until he went to LSU and did the butt-grind with their HC. If we could have convinced him not to take that visit, without asking point blank of course, then he would have signed with the Gators.

    Nice! And I was actually going with “Leaving on a jet plane.”

    guess either one works!

    Do the Jets really want to close the deal?

    Then throw in Zach Wilson's mom's cougar friend.

    She will get it done.[​IMG]

    When roughly 300,000 New York City residents left during the early part of the pandemic, officials described the exodus as a once-in-a-century shock to the city’s population.

    Now, new data from the Internal Revenue Service shows that the residents who moved to other states by the time they filed their 2019 taxes collectively reported $21 billion in total income, substantially more than those who departed in any prior year on record. The IRS said the data captured filings received in 2020 and as late as July 2021.

    Like many before him, Brenan Hefner arrived in New York 20 years ago in search of a career on Wall Street. When Hefner, co-founder of a research platform called Analyst Hub, sold his house this summer to a couple from London, he wondered if it made sense to look beyond the surrounding neighborhoods for a new home. He ended up moving his family to Dallas last month. Hefner is one of thousands of high earners who’ve left New York this year, an exodus that is deepening concerns over a projected $9 billion budget shortfall. While the city is no longer the national virus hotspot it was earlier this year, those leaving cite anxiety over the region’s economy and quality of life and a conviction that higher taxes are coming. Last month, business leaders publicly upbraided Mayor Bill De Blasio for “deteriorating conditions in commercial districts and neighborhoods across the five boroughs.”
