Jets assault an unwilling Brian Jackson in training camp on a hazing-free campus.

August 20, 2010 By Hank Nuwer Leave a Comment

Hey Newsday.com–what in blazes does your subhead “rookie entertainment” have to do with your coverage of a hazing incident in which first-year player Brian Jackson was NOT a willing participant in a taping. 2) Jets–you are a guest on the campus of SUNY Cortland which has tried hard to eradicate campus hazing. When you visit someone’s “house,” you live by their rules. SUNY Cortland President Bitterbaum–perhaps you might inform the Jets that Cortland tries to be a hazing-free campus. Just my thoughts. Here is another link
New York Post

CORTLAND — On the final day of training camp at SUNY-Cortland, Jets rookie cornerback Brian Jackson didn’t take kindly to some veteran punishment.

Jackson, an undrafted free agent from Oklahoma, found himself tied to a goalpost and doused with Gatorade after yesterday morning’s practice thanks to linebacker Bart Scott and nose tackle Kris Jenkins.

Jackson went ballistic in response to what Rex Ryan described as rookie hazing — “a training-camp tradition,” the coach said. But players said it was payback for Jackson spouting off to secondary coach Dennis Thurman.

“I haven’t talked to Brian yet, but I heard he’s taking it as a personal thing, which is unfortunate,” Ryan said between workouts.

Jackson redeemed himself in the afternoon, hitting the goal post with a 65-yard throw after Ryan told the rookie that he would end practice early if Jackson were successful.

Ryan appeared to endorse rookie hazing, which has been a hot topic recently after Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant refused to carry Roy Williams shoulder pads and Tim Tebow endured a “Friar Tuck” haircut from teammates.

“I’ve seen way worse than [what Jackson endured yesterday],” Ryan said. “We all saw the Tim Tebow haircut. That would have been a disaster for most guys.”
