As sports fans can tell from the new HBO series HARD KNOCKS, which is following the Jets’ training camp up in Cortland, Rex Ryan and Gang Green are serious about going after the NFL title this year, even with Darrelle Revis still holding out. But Big Blue is after bragging rights as the two teams break in the New Meadowlands Stadium tonight on MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. The Jets are officially the home team for the game, which should feature the starters for the first quarter and maybe a series or two in the second. Then the guys battling out for the remaining available roster spots will be giving it their all, trying to show Ryan, Giants coach Tom Coughlin, and the rest of the two front offices that they belong on the final roster. If you don’t have tickets to this preseason match-up, you can catch it on ESPN and channel 9 at 8:00. We won’t tell you who we’re routing for, but we’re envious of those heading to the stadium to experience the festivities.
