Bart barks back at Lion's head coach

After Sunday's overtime victory over the Detroit Lion's, Bart Scott was quoted saying that Detroit was the dirtiest team in the league and that he can't wait to play them again.

Lion's head coach Jim Schwartz then fired back, saying "consider the source."

Did Schwartz think Scott was going to keep his mouth shut after that?

“Listen, I don’t have to play Detroit for another four years,” Scott said Wednesday. “I couldn’t care less what that man has to say. Don’t even exist to me anymore. Does it really matter? I don’t have to see him ever again. Do I have to see him at the Super Bowl? Playoffs? Probably not …. In the parking lot?”

He then added, "He'll be watching TV in January."

Ouch.

Slauson returns to practice

Left guard Matt Slauson returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's practice. He vows to be on the playing field on Sunday when the Jets face their former heir, Eric Mangini, and his Cleveland team.

Marquice Cole (hamstring) was the only Jet to miss practice while the rest of the team prepares for the Ryan/Mangini Bowl.
