And if they don’t get Bell Matthew Slater Jerseys 2019 , New York’s backup plan isn’t half bad either."Fun fact about the 2018 NFL season:One team from New York ranked 26th in the league in rushing yards.The other team from New York ranked 24th.One of these teams has this dude you may have heard of named Saquon Barkley, the other does not.Obviously, that doesn’t count postseason, not like that would change either number anyway BA DUM TSSSSSS.Hating on our enemies aside, while the Giants are busy not franchise-tagging one of their better players because of his coverage skills despite Landon Collins playing in the box on 60% of his snaps (OK, maybe we weren’t done hating on our enemies quite yet), the New York Jets are sitting on a svelte $102 million in cap space and according to this report, they’re trying to use it to have Le’Veon Bell play against New England twice a year instead of the annual Pats-Steelers Invitational.And in what may be a first for the Jets in recent memory, they actually have a decent backup plan if Bell doesn’t work out.From Pro Football Talk:First off, anybody have any guesses on what Le’Veon might actually end up signing for? If he’s allegedly turned down the Steelers’ offer that allegedly was good for 5 years and an average of $15 million a year, does that get it done now, or is that going to get you laughed out of the building?(Hey, we never said his expectations were realistic)Second, and maybe this doesn’t matter at all, but the 2019 J-E-T-S aren’t exactly stacked with Pro Bowlers like Pittsburgh was, and with a new head coach in Adam Gase and a sophomore QB that’s probably going to have to learn a whole new offense, they’re clearly not built to contend this year (pending a monster free agency, of course), and by 2020 Bell’s going to be 28 years old, and that’s at least one, maybe two years of your prime that’s probably going towards a rebuilding project. Maybe Le’Veon’s more like Ndamukong Suh and as long as the money’s rolling in White Devin McCourty Jerseys , it’s all good, or maybe a shot at a title actually matters. Obviously so far, the former seems to matter more than the latter, but who knows.Either way, when you’ve got that kind of money to burn and a quarterback on that half-price-wing-night contract, the Jets could certainly find worse ways to spend it. ATLANTA (AP) — If you’re on the lookout for Super Bowl tickets, be prepared to fork over several thousand dollars.But if you make it through the gates, here’s a bit of good news for your wallet.A hot dog can be had for a couple of bucks. A slice of pizza will set you back a mere $3.Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which made waves in the sports industry by becoming the first facility to introduce so-called “fan first” pricing at its concession stands, is keeping those budget items on the menu for the biggest event in its short history — Sunday’s NFL title game between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams.“It’s what you would want if you went with your family to a sporting event,” said Scott Jenkins, the stadium’s general manager. “It’s good food, and it’s at a fair price.”So, if your stomach is growling but your bank account is light, consider a pretzel or popcorn. Like the hot dog, each of those stadium staples is just $2. For that same price, you can wash it all down with a bottle of water or a soft drink that comes with free refills. If you’re in the mood for something stronger, a domestic beer checks in at $5.“When I’ve been around, scouting out big events, the prices are high and they go higher,” Jenkins said. “We made it clear when we bid that our prices were fan first Devin McCourty Jerseys 2019 , and we’re keeping them for the Super Bowl.”The $1.5 billion stadium, which opened less than two years ago and is best known for a complex retractable roof that opens and closes like a camera lens, is also looking to make a Super splash with some of its higher-priced food items.Especially those that show off the South’s culinary heritage.A hefty order of chicken and waffles, accompanied by sorghum butter, creamy cole slaw and sweet pickles, checks in at $12. But the item likely to make the biggest splash with fans is the “C.O.S.” — the Closed On Sunday chicken sandwich. That is renowned chef Kevin Gillespie’s take on an Atlanta staple, the Chick-fil-A sandwich.While the $14 price tag might sound a bit hefty compared to some of those aforementioned budget items — and certainly to a Chick-fil-A offering — it’ll probably seem worth it when you’ve finished off a fried chicken breast (sorry, the seasoning is a closely guarded secret) lathered in spicy pickled mayonnaise and served between two honey butter buns.“We’ve taken our record-setting day, the most we’ve ever sold, and we’ve doubled that,” said Gillespie, who also runs two of metro Atlanta most acclaimed restaurants. “We’ll see if we run out again on Super Bowl Sunday.”There’s actually a Chick-fil-A stand within Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but as everyone in this part of the country certainly knows: the fast-food restaurant is closed on Sundays (hence the name of Gillespie’s creation).Yep, even on Super Bowl Sunday.That spot will be occupied by another vendor, so Gillespie has the big game’s chicken sandwich spotlight all to himself.“We feel like a lot of folks have probably read about this stuff, so we want them to have a chance to taste it,” he said. “We decided to stick with the same menu, stick with the exact same pricing, don’t turn it up just because it’s the Super Bowl. We’re pretty pumped about it. We think we’re going to have a pretty busy day on Sunday.”The Mercedes-Benz cooks also came up with several items to honor the Super Bowl teams.The “L.A. Chicharron Dog” is an homage to the team from La La Land — a hot dog covered with pinto beans, jalapenos, garlic White Isaiah Wynn Jerseys , roasted poblano pepper strips, cotija cheese, tajin-seasoned chicharrones (essentially, fried pork rinds) and cilantro. Not exactly for the faint of heart (or anyone with heart issues).Speaking of an angioplasty waiting to happen, the offering for the AFC champion Patriots is the “N.E. Beantown Frank,” which is covered with northern beans, maple syrup, Nueske’s bacon and green onions.“This is us playing in the kitchen,” said Matt Cooper, the executive chef at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. “Once we saw the teams that were playing in the Super Bowl, all us chefs got together and came up with some ideas for New England and LA.”His favorite?“I’m going to lean toward LA,” Cooper said. “That’s where I’m originally from.”On the drink side, there’s the PaLomA (yes, the “L” and the “A” are capitalized for obvious reasons), a libation comprised of tequila, ruby red grapefruit, soda water and a blood orange wedge. Patriot fans might prefer to opt for the New Englander — vodka, cranberry and soda water adorned with a lime wedge.Much like the teams that will be looking to claim a title on the field, Mercedes-Benz Stadium is eager to grab a prize of its own in the kitchen.The champion of Super Bowl stadium food.“We have a lot of eyes on us,” Cooper said. “It’s going to be a fun one.”
