We're not professional athletes or anything, but it sounds like eating diet cookies and shakes just before NFL training camp isn't the healthiest idea. Where's the Campbell's Chunky?! But Jets defensive tackle Kris Jenkins has been on the Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet since May, and beat coach Rex Ryan in a weight loss competition by shedding 33.6 pounds. Ryan only lost 20 since issuing the challenge, though he has lost 55 pounds since getting lap band surgery. As a reward for winning, a donation will be made to Jenkins' chosen charity, Life Pieces to Masterpieces.

Giants & Jets Send 13 to Pro Bowl; Start Bickering Now
Eli Manning will be in the same Pro Bowl as his brother Peyton. History is made! (But how does Matt Ryan feel about Eli's inclusion?) The Giants will send six to Hawaii, including both punter Jeff Feagles and placekicker John Carney. Combined age? 86. Their vaunted defense will have only one representative in Justin Tuck. That seems funny. The Giants' stellar offensive line did get some love. Guard Chris Snee will start, and center Shaun O'Hara will be a reserve.
Early Moves in Free Agency Affect Giants/Jets
For the Giants, the opening of free agency saw them lose three players. Kawika Mitchell went to the Bills, Reggie Torbor to the Dolphins and Gibril Wilson to the Raiders. The loss of Wilson will hurt the most, but remember he was once a fifth-round pick. GM Jerry Reese proved last year that he is very good drafting players and won’t overpay in the free agent market, so don’t panic the Super Bowl champs will be just fine.
