Looks like Thomas Jones still has a thing for granting interviews to radio stations.

Jones, who didn’t speak with the media after ending his boycott of the OTAs nor did he make himself available during minicamp, was on Houston radio station KILT last week while he was in town preparing to pick up an award. It wasn’t a very in depth interview (these things rarely ever are) so there’s nothing earth shattering.

But it’s the first thing we’ve heard out of him in a while. He addressed the comments he made about the guy who’s name has been banned from this blog and here’s what he had to say:

“Well the situation with me is I was asked a couple of questions [last year] and I answered them,” Jones said. “First of all, I have the utmost respect for Brett Favre – he’s one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play. It was an honor for me to get a chance to play with him. I played against him in Chicago for three years in my division. But it was an honor to play with him. He brought a lot of fun to our team; he brought a lot of energy and excitement to the huddle last year so I was definitely happy I had an opportunity to play with him.

“The deal with the interceptions and all that – it was kind of blown out of proportion, it’s just part of the game. You make one comment or a couple comments and they’re turned in to something else. But I guess he’s not ready to give it up – and when you’ve played as long as he’s played, that’s pretty much all you know. I’m not saying he can’t do anything else but football’s his life. So you know, I wish him the best of luck, I hope he don’t have mixed feelings about what he’s doing. But hey, at the end of the day, if you can still play and a team wants you, then why not play?”

As for Sterger, the apple of many a Jets’ fans eyes, she’ll be performing at the sports-comedy show 12 Angry Mascots later today. Sterger will be there long with Green Bay Packer running back Ryan Grant, who hails from Rockland County.

So if you’re longing for another glimpse at Sterger, here’s your chance. The show begins at 8 p.m. at Comix. The club is located in Manhattan at 353 West 14th Street, just east of 9th Avenue.

Better make those last-minute plans now.

The Jets claimed G Mike Fladell off waivers today. Fladell, a 6-7, 334-pound Rutgers product and Howard Beach native, was a member of the Giants practice squad and was waived last Wednesday.
