Jessie James Decker announces she's doing concert during halftime of Jets-Pats game

If Jets fans thought they heard the last of Jessie James Decker this season, think again.

James Decker, the tweet happy wife of Jets receiver Eric Decker, announced Thursday morning that she will be doing a concert during halftime of the Jets-Patriots game on Dec. 21 at MetLife Stadium.

How did the country singer — known for defending her oft-injured hubby on her social media accounts — give fans the news?  By Twitter of course:

So excited to announce I'm doing a Holiday halftime concert at the #Jets game on 12/21 w/ @JetsFlightCrew !! #happyholidays

Bet she sings "Stand By Your Man."

Eric Decker blows off Jets practice to attend awards show with wife: Report

Newly signed New York Jets wide receiver Eric Decker skipped the team’s OTAs Wednesday to attend the CMT Awards in Nashville.

Decker is married to country singer Jessie James and the duo were scheduled to be presenters at the show.

Decker, who signed a five-year, $36.25 million contract with the Jets in March, decided to hear Kenny Chesney play instead of going over the playbook with Geno Smith.

Jets coach Rex Ryan, who likes to brag about his team’s offseason attendance, said he did not have an issue with Decker, who will also miss Thursday's voluntary practice.

“Well, speaking as a married guy, absolutely recommended that you would go to that,” Ryan joked.

"So that would be recommended I think. You ask for their support. You need to support them, too. This really is voluntary camps, there’s no doubt about it. Things like this pop up. This is the time to do it. It’s not like it happened during the season. Certainly we support Eric and things. He’d be treated no different than any other teammate regardless of how much they’re making."

It seems like an odd decision considering Decker is learning a new offense and the Jets are limited to 10 OTA practices. Decker will return to the team Friday.

Michael Vick believes he can take Jets to Super Bowl: Report

Michael Vick may have been talking like a backup quarterback this past week, but that doesn't mean the Jets' new acquisition isn't making predictions like a starter. 

Taking a page out of the Rex Ryan book of eye-rolling prophecies, Vick said he can take the Jets to the big game — contradicting what he said earlier the same day about conceding the opening day spot to Geno Smith.

“I just feel like I can help any football team, any organization, particularly this football team, get to a Super Bowl,” Vick told the New York Daily News on Thursday. “It’s tough at this stage of my career because I still feel like I’m a fairly young player and I can still keep up. People make it seem like I’m getting older and things are not the same. I beg to differ.”

The explosive and injury-prone Vick will be 34 next month still believes he has what it takes to get the Jets to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1968.

Kind of like what Kurt Warner did with the Cardinals in 2008 after he was considered washed up and had to win back his starting job from Matt Leinart.

“Kurt was blessed with unbelievable talent and uncanny intelligence,” Vick said. “That helped him get to where he was. Most important, the Arizona Cardinals believed in him. People just got to believe in you. They gave him a shot. He got his opportunity and he took advantage of it.”

Vick didn't mention that Warner had All-Pro receivers Michael Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin catching the football during that magical run.

The Jets have bolstered their skill players in the offseason with wide receiver Eric Decker, running back Chris Johnson and rookie tight end Jace Amaro. Vick says in the past his teams didn’t have it together in all three phases to help him get to the Super Bowl.

“Sometimes, I feel like I’ve been dealt the short end of the stick because I haven’t had all those components over the years,” he said. “I never complained because this is an unbelievable league, it’s a great league and I’ve been blessed to play in it. Of course, I wish I had a Super Bowl and wish I could have accomplished more things. But, hey, I still got an opportunity and that’s what I am thinking.”

Despite Vick's apparent confidence, he still sounds like a backup.

“I think Geno is going to be the starter. I think he is going to start this season off,” Vick said. “I think Geno has every opportunity to go out and have success. He is going to get that opportunity.”

Maybe it's reverse psychology.

Jets' Eric Decker, Jessie James have baby girl: Report

It's been a week of big news for the Jets new wideout Eric Decker.

Decker — who signed a five-year deal with the Jets on March 12 — and wife Jessie James just welcomed a baby girl, Vivian Rose, into the world Tuesday.

James is a country singer. Both he and the new mom are also star of E!'s reality show "Eric and Jessie: Game On", though the birth wasn't filmed for the show reported  E! News.

It was the couple's first child.

The NFL star's wife shared an Instagram photo lying in a hospital bed at the start of labor with the caption, "Lots of tears, nerves, smiles and excitement! Just so anxious to meet our baby girl."

The first go-round proved to be a false alarm Friday when James thought the baby was coming.

"Jessie went into the hospital yesterday at 3:30 p.m. and at 5:36 a.m. this morning, Vivianne Rose Decker was born, weighing 8lbs., 2 oz. with a full head of hair!" a rep for the pair told  E! News.

"Both mom and daughter are doing well," the rep added.

Eric Decker spotted on flight to Newark for meeting with Jets: Report

Was Eric Decker headed to New Jersey for a visit with the Jets? That certainly seems possible after multiple people tweeted they were with him on a flight to Newark.

By piecing together information from some of their other tweets, it’s apparent that two people at least believe they saw Decker on United flight 1730, which took off from Denver at 5:59 p.m. MT and landed at Newark at 11:17 p.m. ET.

The report was later confirmed by multiple sources.

The last time Decker came to Jersey he all but disappeared during the Super Bowl. But the former Bronco is still one of the top wide receiver free agents on the market and the Jets desperately need to revamp their receiving corps.

And Decker's country singer wife, Jessie James, would be a nice distraction for Gang Green fans.

Broncos' Eric Decker Leapfrogs Lance Ball After TD

The Green Bay Packers may have the made the Lambeau Leap the most-widely imitated post-touchdown jump in the NFL, but now comes its little brother-- the Mile High Leapfrog.

Eric Decker's hop over Lance Ball, who caught a TD pass from Kyle Orton, was ultimately in vain, as the late score couldn't help the Denver Broncos vault over the Oakland Raiders in the second game of Monday night's doubleheader.

With 3:43 left in the game, and a driving storm and a sea of orange calling for Tim Tebow raining down on Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium,  Orton completed a pass to Ball who hurdled a Raiders player at the two yard-line and rolled in for the touchdown.  It capped off an 80 yard drive.  The extra point brought Denver to within three points of Oakland despite an error-turnover-penalty-filled Bronco performance.

More importantly for Orton, the Broncos quarterback wouldn't have to worry about the popular Tebow hopping over him for the starting job-- at least for another week.

Denver could not stop Oakland after the kickoff and the Raiders held on for the 23-20 win in the scuffle-filled game.  The difference was Sebastian Janikowski's record-tying 63-yard field goal to close out the first half.

Janikowski, who's most famous long kick before tonight was a comical 76-yard miss in 2008, joined Jason Elam and Tom Dempsey in the record books

The victory snapped Oakland's streak of losing the previous eight straight season openers.
