Rosemary Molina, 43, and her son, George Molina, 19, have their complaints about the Q train, but say it’s still better than other lines in the system.

New York City showslove for the Q train

Ride the Q? You’re in luck: The line wins top place in a survey of the entire MTAsystem Report finds the Q cleanest, has the most seats and fewest delays {page 02}

KEVIN C. DOWNS/METRO

New Yorkers love the Q train.For the first time in more

than a decade, the Q topped theStraphangers Campaign’s“State of the Subways” reportcard this year, meaning it’s thebest ride in town.

The Q stops at many cityhubs, ranging from near ParkSlope on Seventh Avenue inBrooklyn to Union Square andHerald Square in Manhattan. Itthen winds up through thetoniest parts of Midtown beforeheading out to Astoria.

“I take the subway from Av-enue U, and I’m always on timeto my office on 42nd Street,”David Saadia, 64, told Metro. “Idon’t think I’ve ever been late.”

Also making the Q hip? Af-ter the N switched over to run-ning local in Manhattan, the Qis now the swiftest way on thatline to zoom through the city,hitting all express stops.

“Riders on the best line —the Q — have much more reli-able cars, frequent service, sub-way car cleanliness and car an-nouncements,” StraphangersCampaign attorney Gene Rus-sianoff said.

For the report, released yes-terday, the trains are tested onthe frequency of service, regu-larity of arrivals and cleanlinessof subway car floors and seats.

Coming in after the Q werethe 7, J and Z trains as the nextbest lines in the system.

The Q line, which last wontop honors in 2001, tied forbest on audible announce-ments and was above averagefor delays by mechanical break-downs, seat availability andcleanliness.

Mary Williams, 30, a Brook-

lyn painter, told Metro she ap-preciates how the stops are dig-itally listed and announced.

“Even though the B is fast, itis always crowded,” she said.“This is much less crowded,which is great.”

According to the report, theQ is scheduled to come less of-ten than other trains in the sys-

tem — about every 6 minutesin the morning as opposed tothe system average of 5 min-utes — but arrives regularlyabout 79 percent of the time.

And Viviana Garcia said theQ makes all the right stops.

“It goes to almost every stopin Manhattan,” she said. “The Qexpress on the weekends helps

me beat the construction de-lays and changes, so I can getmy day of fun in at Coney Is-land without too much trou-ble.”

Amid the controversy overChick-fil-A, the headspokesman for New York Uni-versity hinted Tuesday for thefirst time that the fast-foodshop may not be on the NYUcampus for much longer.

Chick-fil-A President DanCathy’s comments “are out ofstep with NYU’s views on thismatter,” spokesman John Beck-man said, according to the NewYork Daily News.

The school’s University Sen-ate will “re-examine” this fallwhether to keep the chain oncampus, he said, according tothe report.

“The University Administra-tion will ask the University Sen-ate to take up the issue ofChick-fil-A’s status on campusagain when it reconvenes thisfall to make a recommendationon how to proceed,” Beckmansaid, according to FOX.

City Council Speaker ChrisQuinn said she’s still standingstrong to her desire to seeChick-fil-A hightail it out ofNew York, but admitted Tues-day that she has no legal powerto kick the chain out of towndue to Cathy’s statements thathe does not support same-sexmarriage.

“I don’t want businessesthat hold discriminatory viewsand feelings, but I don’t have

any legal recourse or reason toblock this company,” Quinnsaid.

“We are asking Mr. Cathy toreconsider, open up his mindand really overcome his homo-phobia and stop investing hismoney in efforts to limit therights of LGBT Americans,”Quinn added.

Over the weekend, Quinnlaunched an online petitionthat declares Chick-fil-A is notwelcome in the city, as long asthe fast food chain’s leaderscontinue to espouse anti-gaymarriage views.

Her opposition to the chainis notable, as Quinn is a strongcontender to become the city’snext mayor. CARLY BALDWIN

NEW YORK. Manhattan DistrictAttorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. an-nounced yesterday the sen-tencing of Lamont Brunsonfor running an underage pros-titution and sex trafficking op-eration via the website Back-page.com.

Brunson, 33, admitted thathe ran a trafficking operationthat included coercing his 17-year-old victim into prostitu-

tion for four years. He adver-tised her services throughBackpage.com and brandedhis victim’s body with a tattooof his street name, “L$,” to

demonstrate his ownership,the DA’s office alleges.

Brunson even went as faras requiring the victim to signa fake contract that stated shewould stay with him “untildeath do us part.”

Branson also set a quotashe was forced to meet eachnight. If the 17-year-old failedto meet it, she was beaten.

In 2009, the FBI and NewBrunswick police responded toa 911 call about suspicious, ter-rorist-like activity in an apart-ment that was undergoing codeinspections. The 911 caller toldpolice the room had surveil-lance equipment, literature onMuslims, photographs of ter-rorists and little else.

The culprits? Members ofNew York’s finest, the NYPD,spying undercover in New Jer-sey on Muslim Americans.

According to a new bookthat will hit shelves next week,some of the first responders tothat apartment three years ago,the FBI, were furious with theNYPD’s spying program whenthey uncovered it.

“The Secrets of the FBI,” bybest-selling author RonaldKessler, found that the FBI alsodetermined that the NYPD’s ad-mitted spying invaded civilrights.

“What never came out is

that the FBI considers theNYPD’s intelligence-gatheringpractices since 9/11 not only awaste of money but a violationof Americans’ rights,” wroteKessler in the book, accordingto the New York Daily News.

The FBI deemed the contro-versial policing to be a “wasteof money” and has barredagents from dealing with thepolice department’s intelli-gence division.

The book’s claims stand in

stark contrast to a WhiteHouse, which has declined tospeak out against the NYPDspying — even as federal grantmoney funds NYPD projects.

The book also goes againstFBI Director Robert Mueller’scomplimentary remarks inMarch saying the departmenthad done a “remarkable job inprotecting New York.”

FBI: NYPD Muslimspying program a ‘waste of money’

New book that hits shelves next week says the FBIdisapproves of NYPD’s Muslim spying program Fedsources tell author the agency thinks spying violatesrights, and won’t allow agents to work with NYPD on it

Controversial

surveillance

The NYPD’s Muslim spyingprogram has been widely crit-icized as both an illegal act ofracial profiling and a massiveexpansion of the depart-ment’s jurisdiction since it wasuncovered by the AssociatedPress last year.

The AP found that the NYPDwas trailing Muslim Ameri-cans in New York, New Jerseyand Connecticut.The police followed Muslimstudents on whitewater raft-ing trips, recorded sermons,hung out in hookah bars look-ing for dissidents and usedminor traffic infringements toforce Pakistani taxi driversinto informing on their owncommunities.

FBI sources told book author Ronald Kessler they will not be party to the NYPD’s surveillance ofMuslims in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

$50U.S. cities have become increas-ingly segregated by incomesince 1980, with the greatest di-vide found in fast-growingTexas metropolitan areas, thePew Research Center reportedyesterday.

This rising segregation isseen in 27 of the 30 biggestmetropolitan areas and stemsfrom the long-term increase inU.S. income inequality, Pewsaid in its study of Census data.

Residential segregation byincome is less widespread thansegregation by race, eventhough U.S. black-white segre-gation has been falling fordecades, the report said.

The analysis shows that 28percent of lower-income house-holds in 2010 were in a mostlylower-income neighborhood,up from 23 percent in 1980.

Eighteen percent of upper-income households were in amajority upper-income Censustract, twice the level in 1980.

Rising income inequality“has led to a shrinkage in theshare of neighborhoods acrossthe United States that are pre-dominantly middle-class ormixed income,” wrote Paul Tay-lor and Richard Fry, the report’sauthors.

The share of neighborhoodsthat are middle-class fell to 76percent in 2010 from 85 per-

cent in 1980.Among the 30 biggest met-

ropolitan areas, San Antonio,Houston and Dallas show thegreatest segregation of neigh-borhoods by income, accordingto the report.

The least segregation wasseen in Minneapolis-St. Paul,Minn.; Portland, Ore.; and Or-lando, Fla.

Most of the metropolitan ar-eas showing the greatest in-crease in segregation have seensignificant population growthas people moved in to the area.

For example, Houston, Dal-las and San Antonio are amongthe fastest-growing U.S. cities,with growth partly fueled bylow-wage immigrants movingin, along with better-paid high-skill workers and well-off re-tirees. REUTERS

Zimmermanjudge refusesto step down ORLANDO, FLA. A Florida judgeyesterday rejected a motionasking him to step downfrom the murder trial ofGeorge Zimmerman.

Zimmerman’s lawyer,Mark O’Mara, in a motionfiled July 13 asking the judge

to step down, accused JudgeKenneth Lester of bias, citingwhat he called “gratuitous”and “disparaging remarks”Lester made in a July 5 rulingraising Zimmerman’s bondfrom $150,000 to $1 million.

The ruling followed abond hearing held afterprosecutors accusedZimmerman and his wifeShellie, who has beencharged with perjury, of ly-ing to the court about their

finances.In his order dismissing

the motion for him torecuse himself, Lester wrotethat, by law, he mustassume O’Mara’s allegationswere true.

“The court is not permit-ted to deny the allegationssupporting the motion as un-true, reject them as unfound-ed or comment upon them atall,” Lester wrote in his order.REUTERS

Obama ahead in three key states, poll showsWASHINGTON. President BarackObama has the edge over MittRomney in three keybattleground states in largepart because voters find himmore likable than theRepublican challenger, a pollreleased on yesterday found.

Quinnipiac University’ssurvey of more than 3,500

likely voters in the Nov. 6election found Obama aheadby 11 percentage points inPennsylvania (53 to 42percent), and 6 percentagepoints in both Ohio (50 to 44percent) and Florida (51 to 45percent). Obama won all threestates in the 2008 presidentialelection.

At least 50 percent ofrespondents in the threestates expressed a “favorable”opinion of Obama comparedto about 40 percent forRomney, according to thepoll, which has a margin oferror of about plus or minus2.9 percentage points. REUTERS

2Loyal Word readers may havenoticed that Robert Pattinsonand Kristen Stewart have beenabsent from our pages for twofull days. But all good things, ofcourse, must come to an end.

After moving out of the LosAngeles mansion he was shar-ing with Stewart, Pattinson isshacking up at friend and “Wa-ter for Elephants” co-star ReeseWitherspoon’s super sweet Cali-fornia ranch, reports Us Week-ly. Pattinson remains “incon-solable” about Stewart’s affairwith Rupert Sanders and ismore of a “total mess” thanusual, sources say.

As for Kristen, she’s foundsupport with “Panic Room” co-star Jodie Foster. “As soon as sheheard the news, Jodie contactedKristen,” a source tellsRadarOnline. “Jodie told Kris-ten to take no notice of the me-dia bashing and said if she

wanted to cry her heart out toher, she’s always available.”

Reese Witherspoon’s ranchversus Jodie Foster’s shoulder:We’re going to have to handthis round to Pattinson.

Pattinson’s gota wingmanAlthough he’s cut off contactwith Stewart, Pattinson didmake one thing clear aboutthe terms of their split: Hewants full custody of theirdog, a rescue named Bear.

“Rob was so hurt by Kris-ten’s actions he decided thathe wants the dog to help himget over what happened,” asource tells RadarOnline.

And yes Kristen, by “getover” he means “bed the onegirl in L.A. who isn’t im-pressed by his car.” Godspeed.

1 Whites of our eyes“Our highly mobile eyesare put to good use insocial signaling. It’sastonishing how much canbe conveyed by a simpleflick of the eyes.” Angelina’sgaze is intriguing andcomplex.

2 Eyebrows“The signals we give outusing our eyes areemphasized by eyebrows.”Angelina has the perfectarch.

3 Exceptions to average“If there are faces that arenaturally better thanaverage, they must havesomething extra, and itshould be possible to findout what that somethingis.” (We can easily identifywhat part of Angelina’s facemakes her exceptionallybeautiful.)

4 FemininityAngelia’s high cheekboneshelp make her facestrikingly feminine.

It’s simple to tell if a personis attractive, but what is itthat makes someone so?Pointing out the traits that

characterize beauty proves dif-ficult, but David Perrett usespsychological studies and com-puter-generated faces to un-cover the science of attractionin his book, “In Your Face.”

“In the book I mentionedhealth, symmetry, sex typicali-ty and youth,” Perrett says.“But I do spend most chaptersshowing how despite theseuniversals, beauty is still verymuch in the eye of the behold-er because of our unique up-bringing, our unique friends,our unique experiences in loveand so on. And each of thesebuilds in our minds a unique

sense of what’s attractive infaces.”

Perrett’s book explains whywe’re attracted to individualswho resemble our parents andpinpoints the traits that makeor break beauty.

He says that though we can-not change the face we’re bornwith, that face can make uswho we are.

“I think people’s future be-havior is being shaped by theirface,” Perrett says. “I’m a greatbeliever in the feedback be-tween the face and how theworld treats us and therefore,the creation of our own per-sonality.”

Many peo-ple in “working poor” jobsare capable of so much moreif given the opportunities togrow, and such incentives cancome from the right, left, cen-ter — frankly, I don’t care aslong as they get a real“chance” at making theAmerican Dream a reality andnot a pipe dream.

Romney lacklusterdecision-makerRecent polling suggested thatwhile Obama was more like-able, Mitt Romney is kingwhen it comes to decision-making. If Romney were pres-ident the past four years, hewould have told the auto in-dustry to drop dead when itcame to bailouts, whichwould have led to bankrupt-cies and a job bloodletting.

Mitt felt it a waste ofmoney to get Sammy BinLaden, even though he wassurfing the Web to plot an-other terrorist attack. Nowwe have rumors of Mitt’s re-luctance to release 10 yearsof tax returns. If I weredeciding to run forpresident, I would’ve madesure I paid something in tax-es for fear of it biting me lat-

er on, when my goal is tocommiserate with the work-ing class for their vote. Deci-sion-making like this is notwhat I want from a manwishing to lead this country.DAVID DIBELLO, BROOKLYN

More to presidencythan business senseI agree with Metro readerJohn McLaughlin. Mitt Rom-ney is a very smart, success-ful, wealthy businessman,which is an excellent qualityfor a CEO. However, suggest-ing Romney is mostqualified to be president ofthe United States solely onthe basis of his business suc-cess is analogous withsuggesting that a successfulsports coach is qualified tobe commander of NATO. TheU.S. government is not a

business and cannot be runlike one. If Mitt Romneywants to sell himself to therest of us, perhaps he shouldfirst realize that the U.S. Con-gress and the U.S. SupremeCourt are not a rubber-stampboard of directors and U.S. cit-izens are not shareholders.LARRY D. FOWLER, THE BRONX

Chick-fil-A flapvery overblownHas this country gone com-pletely insane? Mayors ofmajor cities telling a legiti-mate business that it shouldstay away from their city be-cause of the beliefs of thehead guy running it? And tomake it worse ... ON TWIT-TER?! There is no reasonChick-fil-A should be blownup on the news and by politi-cians because of someone’sability and freedom to thinkas he likes. Why don’t all thepeople ridiculously “defend-ing” gay rights stop buyinggas? I’m sure Saudi Arabiahas an anti-homosexualstance.TONY MARKIE, STATEN ISLAND

FREE1/2 Hour

Massage & Consultation

(some restrictions apply)

After suffering a heart attack at41, Simpson Wong decided tofocus on healthier alternativesthat never sacrifice flavor —and the results are on display athis restaurant, Wong, in theWest Village. Tucked into Cor-nelia Street just off Sixth Av-enue, the restaurant is a cozyplace to take in the deliciousfare, from succulent pork bladewith lime pickles and summersquash fries to lobster egg fooyoung, all of which blendsAsian technique with local fla-vor.

What inspired your summermenu?We go to the market and seewhat they have, and we bring itback. We talk to the farmers,

they’ll tell us what they willhave, so we usually say that ifyou have it, save it for us.Where do you shop for ingredients? We go to the Union Squaremarket four times a week. Wego to the one in Borough Hallonce a week, on Thursday.Everything is hand-carriedfrom the farmer’s market: allthe greens, collard greens, allthe salad greens, all the peas,eggs. We buy a case of eggs,fish.A lot of the dishes seem regionally inspired. Do you tryto use food from the NYC area? It’s a lot of work. You have to gothere every day to look for it.The only thing as far as proteinthat is not that local is the

shrimp is from the Gulf of Mex-ico. Lately we’ve been featuringshrimp from Maryland. Theyknow what we are and what wedo. They will bring it over, andif we like it we will order. What’s your favorite dish right now?The Blue Moon Boat Black Bass,with sour curry and lots of sum-mer vegetables, eggplant, okra,tempura wax beans. We alsohave a lot of whole fish, from

the Long Island Sound. We’reselling fluke a lot because flukeis not too expensive, you havethe same benefits, same nutri-ents. If you eat local, if you buythings local, it’s going to saveyou money and it also benefitsyour heath. The menu seems healthier thanothers — tell us how the heartattack changed the way youcreate menus. We only use butter for one

dish, the scallops that arecaramelized. We don’t use but-ter at all and then sometimeswe use olive oil. We use morecanola oil to sautee stuff, it’snot as much cholesterol, andthen we’re doing a lot ofsteamed stuff. We watch out forthe fat content, so we have a lotof grass-fed steak on the menu.

Chef Wong’sstreamlinedsummer fare

Do you cook at home, oris cooking work to you?I have a beach house in theHamptons, so when I’m thereI don’t leave the house — Ijust stay in the area. I evenbuy the vegetables and theseafood from the farmersmarket [in New York] and putit in the trunk and drive outthere because it’s so expen-sive there, and I don’t want todeal with people going outto eat. I just cut the herbs,and then I eat pretty well.Just this past weekend I hadsome pesto pasta, and then Ihad shellfish, mussels. … Youcan eat a lot because it’s solight.

Q&A

To keep his menu healthy, chef Simpson Wong makes time toshop at green markets around the city a few times a week.

Hot chef

ALISON [email protected]

Farm-to-table is a hot buzzphrase in NYC’s diningscene right now, butwhat does it really

mean? Unlike organic food,which requires certification,farm-to-table is often left opento interpretation. As one chefput it, “A carrot served at Mc-Donald’s could be consideredfarm-to-table.”

Luckily for New Yorkers, thecity’s chefs who tout a farm-to-table menu take the responsi-bility to source locally seriously,by changing their menus sea-sonally and making genuineconnections with the farmerswho provide their ingredients— sometimes making the tripto the farm themselves.

We delved deep into thefarm-to-table phenomenon, get-ting to know the chefs of theseEarth-driven eateries who makethe motto their personal mis-sions. You don’t have to leavethe city to find farm-fresh fare.

Greensquare Tavern5 West 21st St.212-929-2468Situated in the Flatiron district,this restaurant uses locallysourced ingredients, rightdown to the chocolate in itsdesserts. Its diverse menu offerseverything from fresh soft-shell crabs to Italian favoritesincluding Monday-nightlasagna, not to mention an im-pressive cocktail list. Whenasked what farm-to-tablemeans to him, chef John Marshdidn’t hesitate to answer, “Iknow my source.” Bonus: Graba “Real Bar” on your way out;it’s a delicious organic energybar (yes, there is such a thing)made by Marsh and his wife.

Bell Book & Candle141 West 10th St.212-414-2355It doesn’t get more farm-to-table than lowering fresh pro-duce down to the kitchen in abucket from an aeroponic tow-er garden on the roof of thebuilding that houses this cozyWest Village restaurant. It’s notchef John Mooney’s first rodeowith the setup — he’s growngardens of the aeroponic vari-ety for restaurants around the

world, including several in In-dia. The sprawling greeneryagainst a city skyline backdropwith the scent of fresh herbsmingling in the air is inspiring,to say the least. The lobster tacoand the “Gin & Tinoc” wildsalmon are standouts.

New Leaf1 Margaret Corbin Drive212-568-5323Tucked away in lush Fort TryonPark, this romantic restaurantchannels its surroundings via afarm-fresh menu. As an exten-sion of actress Bette Midler’sNew York Restoration Project,New Leaf’s very existence isbased on utilizing available re-sources and restoring NYCparks, so it’s appropriate thatchef Scott Campbell calls on lo-cal growers like Paisley Farmsand Windflower Farms for in-gredients. Reserve a table onthe restaurant’s spacious patioand order the baby artichokeand avocado salad and the ba-con banded pork tenderloin.

Arthur on Smith276 Smith St., Brooklyn718-360-2340This fairly new addition to Car-roll Gardens has alreadygarnered a devout following ofregulars who line the bar comedinnertime. Chef Joe Isidori (ofrecent Iron Chef fame) openedthis casual-chic Italian farm-to-table as a tribute to his late fa-ther, Arthur, also a chef. Isidoridraws on a long list of local

farmers he knows personally tosource a fresh menu that hesays “changes when MotherNature tells it to change.” Besure to sample the smoky Span-ish octopus “a la plancha.”

Chef Kevin Adeyfrequently makes the drive toKing Arthur’s upstate NewYork farm, where he feeds theboar homemade treats andmentally braces himself forhis first time slaughtering ananimal. It’s an experimentalstep in the restaurant’s ambi-tious plan to move toward awhole-animal menu in whichcustomers will dine nose totail on locally sourced animalsuntil all of the meat has beenconsumed — at which pointthe menu will change.

Good advice: Always order the special at a farm-to-tablerestaurant, such as these scallops at Northeast Kingdom.

3At lunch hour, the

award-winning Masalacurry house sits empty.In fact, most of the 60

eateries on London's historicBrick Lane, a typically populartourist attraction, are ghosttowns.

It’s the same story for count-less businesses across the U.K.that are unlucky enough to belocated some distance fromOlympic Park. The hope hadbeen an economic boom ofepic proportions brought toLondon by the 2012 Olympics,but the effect has yet to be felt,according to some businessowners.

“We are still waiting,”Masala’s owner, Guljar Khan,told Metro. His curry’s awardsare proudly displayed on thefront of the restaurant, butthey’ve done little to attractcrowds, even though curry hasarguably replaced fish andchips as Britain’s national dish.

In fact, sales are worse thissummer than last summer.

“Athens had the same prob-lem eight years ago, and I don’tthink they picked up, but weare hoping we can get morecustomers in the doors here,”he said.

More than £11 billion (about$17 billion) was invested to im-prove the city’s transportation,adding hotel rooms and build-ing new retail spaces before anestimated 2.2 million visitorsarrived, according to a reportby Visit London. With that in-vestment came looming warn-ings for locals to steer clear ofpublic transportation, brace fornightmarish traffic and workfrom home — or get out of Lon-don all together.

Meanwhile, those 2.2 mil-lion visitors who have broughtwith them money to spend inLondon are typically lingeringnear Olympic Park. The West-field shopping center attachedto the Stratford tube station,where spectators exit for thepark, is packed with tourists atany given time — a stark con-trast for small businessesacross London.

“We have two weeks of thegames and business is probablya little bit quieter than expect-

ed,” Robert Williams,spokesman for the London bor-ough of Tower Hamlets, toldMetro. “I’m not personally con-vinced that talk of the legacy of£19 million boost to the econo-my was ever entirely accurate,but I don’t think it should bemeasured in two weeks.”

Giants’ Sashaccepts blame,goes forwardOne day after the Giantsfound out cornerback Ter-rell Thomas would be outindefinitely after reinjuringhis surgically-repaired ACL,the team learned theywould be without fellow de-fensive back Tyler Sash dueto a drug suspension.

Sash spoke to the mediafor the first time yesterdayand seemed to be at a lossas to why his suspensionwas upheld by the NFL de-spite providing a prescrip-tion for Adderall — thedrug for which he testedpositive.

“I just put something inmy body that I had aprescription from my doc-tor for,” Sash said. “But Iam a professional and Ineed to handle myself in a

professional manner,meaning I need to know allthe rules. At that time I wasnot informed and I have toown up to my mistake andsuffer the consequences.”

Yet teammate AndreBrown failed a drug test forAdderall and the NFL over-turned the suspension onappeal due to his having aprescription.

“That’s a good question,because I would like toknow that as well,” Sashsaid when asked whyBrown’s suspension wasoverturned and not his. “Ican’t comment on anythingthat happened with him be-cause I don’t know all theins and outs of his casecompared to my case. I hada prescription, but thingshappen. I guess the leaguelooked at my situation dif-ferently from Andre’s, andnow I’ve got to deal withthis.”

Defense goesinto the blackIt goes against conventionalwisdom, especially in theheat and humidity of latesummer, but the Jets can’twait to put on their blackjerseys before practice.

The black jerseys are a

new initiativethis year forthe Jets, givenout beforepractice tothe team thatdominated

the day before. They debutedfor the first time on Monday,as the defense wore theblack jerseys and wore them

with pride.Head coach Rex Ryan de-

cided to wait until the firstsession in pads, which cameon Sunday during the team’sthird practice of trainingcamp, to determine whowould get the black jersey. Itwill rotate every day basedon the best performing unit.

“I want that jersey not

just tomorrow, but everyday. It’s kind of like the tro-phy system,” tight end JoshBaker said. “We want thatjersey and we want to bewearing it next practice.”

“Black jerseys have a littlemore swag to them, even ifthey’re a little hotter,” Bakersaid. “I’ll take that.”

METRO/KD

The self-proclaimed second-best wide receiver on the Jetsplayed only cornerback yester-day when the team returnedto the practice field.

Jets cornerback AntonioCromartie, who has takensome snaps during trainingcamp at wide receiver, took aswipe at the team’s targetswhile talking with ESPNTuesday.

When asked about theteam’s receivering corps, Cro-martie said, “I think I’d putmyself as second [on the depthchart at the position]. I can putmyself as the second just withraw ability and talent.”

The receivers respondedyesterday and Chaz Schilenswas clearly not pleased.

“I kind of thought it was ajoke, but I guess he said it andthat’s how he feels,” Schilenssaid. “It’s my job to fix that sit-

uation. We’ll see; we’ll seewhat goes on in practice, buthe’s entitled to his opinion.”

Cromartie dissected eachreceiver’s strengths and rela-tive weaknesses, adding, “Ican run every single route inthe route tree.” The formerfirst-round pick out of FloridaState has never made a catchin the NFL.

“He’s a pretty confidentplayer,” offensive coordinatorTony Sparano said. “He’s gotsome swagger.”

er as a senior in highschool. He had 30 catch-es for 642 yards and sixtouchdowns.
