I'M BACK!

2008-10-08T17:43:00.004-04:00

Due to popular demand, I have decided to resurrect this Jets blog. Yes, if I'm lucky 2 or 3 people will read my postings, mostly to make fun of me I'm sure, but the important thing is that I continue to profess my love of the Jets, and men in general. Kidding (about the Jets part).

Regardless, the Jets are 2-2 and Brett Farve (Something About Mary and Levis commercial fame) is the new QB. This Farve person also played on a football club in Wisconsin, and from what I hear he is pretty good. (Of course, he has thrown a lot of passes to the opposing team over the years).

Anyway, I have a bet with one of my buddies as to who will have more victories, the Giants or the Jets. The loser has to give the winner oral. Kidding, 40 bucks is on the line, and I personally think the Jets will win 9 or 10 games this year. The problem is, the fucking Giants are probably going to win 11 or 12. Fucking Giants.

That is really it for now, because I blew my creative load on my fantasy football board post. I can never stop laughing when I write that shit. Of course, I'm probably the only one who thinks it is funny.

Go Jets!

I bid thee farewell....

I honestly think it's a mistake and I hope they got a first rounder for you (as of press time it was "undislosed round").

I don't see why the Jets insist on using a defense that doesn't fucking work just because Bellicunt used it. Regardless, I honestly loved watching Vilma play, I have his jersey (as does my son) and I am going to keep rooting for the guy. He is fucking good. I think that Vilma and Harris would have fucked shit up, but we'll never know. Not to mention the fact that Vilma would call the FAN's Joe Beningo every fucking week and listen to Joe bust his balls when the Jets were playing like shit and he would still be a gent. I am sorry to see him go.

Good Luck Mr. Vilma!

In other news -
Kris Jenkins? Why did we trade 2 draft picks for him? I doubt he'll be worth it but the Jets never learn when it comes to the D-Line. Dwayne didn't play that poorly last year, but now he is the odd man out. We'll see.

MORE MOOKS FROM THE DEAD....

RANTS FROM THE EMAILING/BLOGGING ZOMBIE HIMSELF ...

I THINK HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE NFL...

I hate the NFL but I'm glad the Giants won for NY's sake. And because I hate New England. I mean there teams used to be cute. Awww, Boston is so cool. Not anymore...they shall receive no quarter from me from this point forward.

But I digress...

It's just gotten ridiculous. Football teams can have like seven guys (starters mind you...not borderline bench players) fail drug tests on the same team and yet the media only wants to talk about Clemens' wife's breast augmentation & baseball's supposed "black eye". God forbid they say anything about the holier than tho' NFL. Who, mind you, is officially the most greedy sport in America. Oh, how's that you say?

Well, for instance, their NFL network is just a blatant money grab. They're trying to make the cable companies look bad for not picking up the package and putting their costs on the rest of us who couldn't care less about replaying the Arizona Cardinals vs the Detroit Lions from the week before last. Now the satelite companies have announced that they are cutting the regions that receive the NFL network in half. This all means that out of the 300 million homes in America that have televisions only 3 million of them feel the need to pay for the NFL network. But the cable companies are a bunch of meanies for not wanting to put that cost on their customers. That's a crock of shit in my opinion...

The NFL already swindles their players (past and present) but altogether with their tax exceptions from the government, their insane antics from players and coaches, and all the ridiculous self promotion it has become completely unwatchable to me. Look at the NBA...I see a league at a crossroads and they aren't exactly that far off from deserving a similar type of derision, a similar type of attendance, and a similar type of unwatchability.

Baseball has it's problems, I know. But at least I can see them and they've stopped trying to sell me on how I'm lucky to be a part of it like the NFL. Or do you guys like watching doogans prancing like peacocks? I know all about Jose Reyes last year. It killed me but it also killed him. People were willing to give him away after his antics last season. He admitted an error. When was the last time you saw an NFL player act like an idiot without getting rewarded for it? Or apologize for bad sportsmanship? You can almost predict the penalties but the guys still do it. Fines? Who cares...I'm going to pull out my cell phone after a TD, call my ho and still get a deal pitching NIKE. Yuck, I just can't stand the NFL.

Sorry for the rant...but...
I just watched a great Seton Hall road win last night. With Coach Gonzalez, the Pirates are a step away from becoming the premier basketball program to go and watch in the New York area (they have the #6 best player in the nation locked up for next year, the reigning Big East rookie of the year in Eugene Harvey, a first team All Big East player in Brian Laing, the next big scorer in the league in Jeremy Hazzell, etc., etc.). And yet I turn on the FAN for my morning commute and I have to listen to idiots talk about what they think of the Jets releasing Justin McCaraeins. It really just stuck all up in my craw. And if I called Fatso & the Angry Puppy and told them how I was excited about the program and the growth SHU has shown you know what they would say? It's not relevant because they aren't as good as Louisville or Georgetown, how UConn is better, blah, blah, blah.

It's really sad. In my opinion, It's the NFL and it's glossy magazine cover self image that has distorted people's perspective on what is rational and reasonable dialogue and what should be news. People want fries with that shake. They're sad and shallow. I'm not saying that SHU should be the lead story in the sports section today. Or that it should be headline news that we have two of the three best high school basketball teams in the nation playing in our backyard (St.Benedict's and of course St.Anthony's). Maybe that is what I'm saying. And as always, that's why I will take baseball or hoops over the NFL. I'd rather read a good novel than a glossy magazine.

PSS - I think this means that I won't be blogging about football too much in the coming months.

PSSS - If I shat a turd that looked like LaDamian Tomlinson, do you think Roger Goodell would try to sell it to you guys? Do you think you'd have enough to buy it? If you did, do you think he'd still keep a share of the aforementioned crap because it was part of his league? Yeah, that's right...I called you guys a bunch of dorks for still supporting the NFL. I still love you though...

LETS GO METS!!!

Remember Barry Sanders?

2008-02-27T13:05:00.003-05:00

Look at this fucking photo from his college days below. I remember cutting this thing out of Sports Illustrated and taping it to my wall, where it lasted until well after I finally moved out of my house.

I just put a copy in my office at work. The guy was awesome (although no Eric Dickerson) and could have probably been the best if he just kept playing. I wonder if never having won a championship bothered him. I bet it did. Fucking Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl and Curtis Martin never did? The list could go on, but the Jets better do something and start winning again, because I want to see some of those guys holding a trophy like the fucking Giants did as soon as possible.

Fucking Go Jets!

Enjoy Jets Fans

Thoughts of Green

2008-02-12T11:29:00.000-05:00

Ah, we have entered the long off-season of discontent. Except for me.

Eric Mangini certainly has his work cut out for him this upcoming NFL season. He is going to have to do some lights-out coaching and preparation.
The AFC East is already humming with activity. The Patriots are just picking their heads up from their shocking defeat in the Super Bowl. Bill Parcells cut 9 guys yesterday including veteran QB Trent Green and will probably pull off another unbelievable draft this year. I think the only guys on the Miami roster over 31 will be Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor. And you know something about Buffalo? They have a damn good core and a suddenly deep and respectable roster. The Jets?

Well, when is the last time anyone even heard from them? I hope Mangini is locked away somewhere drawing up some grand designs because the challenge will never be greater for Gang Green next year.

The draft will be very important, your cross-town and stadium-sharing brethren managed to win the Super Bowl with major contributions from 10 rookies. I am advocating for Offensive and Defensive line help. I suppose some good news is that Vilma doesn't appear to be going anywhere, so if the Jets pick up a quality DT, that frees up Vilma to play like Ray F'ing Lewis. However, the Jets running game was sorry this last year and that has to be a huge concern. The ability to run the ball takes the pressure and the coverage off of new QB Clemens (who I think is a gamer). RB's Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are a more than adequate 1-2 punch, they just need the hogs up front. So where do they go with their pick? Right Guard (not the deodorant)? Left Guard and potentially put together one of the best left sides in football, with Mangold, draft pick and D'Brick? Ball control solves a lot of problems with your defense, they won't be on the field as much. Ball control also helps out the QB immeasurably: Managing the game with throws under 20 yards instead of being forced into trying to make big plays.

Ball control is the way to beat the Patriots, even with that prolific spread attack that Brady orchestrates so well. Parcells COVETS ball control and the power running game and he tries to assemble behemoths up front, e.g. the Dallas Cowboys offensive line. The Buffalo Bills have a good one-two combo with RB's Marshawn Lynch and Anthony Thomas and very unheralded O and D lines.

I'll tell you what free agents could help the Defense out: Jared Allen, Terrell Suggs, Assante Samuel, Albert Haynesworth.

I'll tell you what free agents could help out the O: Rueben Brown, Ryan Lilja (guard from Colts), Alan Faneca, Max Starks, Flozell Adams. It is an EXTREMELY rich year for Offensive linemen in free agency this year. Pete Kendall defecting in Training Camp hurt the Jets a lot this year.

Eighteen and DOH!

2008-02-05T10:54:00.000-05:00

One of the most shocking Super Bowls in history transpired last Sunday. And, the New York Giants upset the heavily favored and undefeated New England Patriots 17-14. We are out there, but there are very few of us Big Blue Rootin' Crew that actually thought that the Giants could do it.

I pulled out all the stops, doing everything I could think of that might help the team. I wore Giants clothing to work all week, sported at t-shirt/Eli jersey/Giants sweatshirt combo at church Sunday morning (which was spent in intense meditation and visualization and pleading to God to allow the Giants to beat the unbelievably dangerous Patriots), and other rituals not fit to mention on this family blog. It all paid off, especially the church.

The game that unfurled was BETTER than when the Giants upset the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV 17 years ago. The Patriots were UNDEFEATED. But the Giants could call their playoff run 'The Revenge Tour'.

The Dallas Cowboys had beaten the Giants twice this year, surely the #1 seed would handle these Blue Upstarts one more time.

OK, they managed to squeeze out the win against Dallas. Lucky. But now the Giants would have to go up to frozen Lambeau Field in Wisconsin, in which the legend of Brett Favre only got better as the temperature went down. Game time conditions were at -20 below zero, there would be no way the young, inconsistent Giants QB would fare better than Favre in those conditions. Tack on the spirit of the Packers playing to get Brett Favre to the Super Bowl and there was no way the Giants could win this game. The Packers also had beaten the New York in Giants Stadium Week 2.

Oh my God, the Giants are going to the Super Bowl. To face the never-before-done 18-0 new England patriots, who had set NFL offensive records all season long on their determined march to their place as the best team in NFL history.

It would take a Herculean effort for the Giants to pull off, what I consider a bigger upset than Broadway Joe Namath and the NY Jets beating the formidable Baltimore Colts in 1968. The Colts that year were not an undefeated team in a very competitive and complex era of salary caps and free agency. The Patriots were.

The Defense would have to play lights out and get to Tom Brady the way no other team had all season long.

How long, Jet fans, have you waited for images like these this season? August? September?

How about Jerry Reese, GM of the Giants? Not only did his last four drafts pay off in spades with all the contributions from young players this year, but he signed versatile D-lineman Justin Tuck to a 30 million dollar contract before the Super Bowl. All of it was worth it on this image alone:
Tom Brady got NAILED all game long. 5 sacks, a fumble, and 18 other knockdowns. When Brady tried to throw deep he got creamed on the step into his throw. He didn't complete a pass longer than 20 yards, so the big play was taken away from the best offense of all-time. Wes Welker did some damage with 10 or 11 catches but he kept out the end zone. The Giants defense did a great job with the Patriots screen game, and Lawrence Maroney had a grand total of 39 yards rushing.

The game was extremely close. That Patriots had a capable defense full of smart veterans. One play could break and the Patriots would run away with it. The game was 7-3 Patriots heading into the 4th quarter. And in the 4th quarter, a player known only in Giants circles as a stout Special Teamer, QB Eli Manning had to check down to his 2nd, 3rd and 4th options on most pass plays. The 4th option is a guy named David Tyree, who caught a TD in that critical 4th quarter to put the Giants up 10-7. However, Tom Brady is on the other sideline and there were 4+ minutes left in the game. Sure enough, Brady to Moss with 2:40 or so to go.

This is the stage that a QB dreams about. And Eli Manning, so often crticized for not being his brother, not being fiery enough, lived it. Manning to Tyree could go down as one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history: 3rd and 5 at the Giants 40-yard line, the pocket collapses on manning, he is jostled around by various Patriot defenders as the pull at his jersey, SOMEHOW Eli gets out and scrambles to his right and heaves a desperate 32-yard pass upfield to Tyree who SOMEHOW trapped the ball to the top of his helmet while up in the air and hanging on despite a scratching and clawing Rodney Harrison :
And, is this an emotional enough QB for all the critics? Here he is after tossing the game-winning 13-yard pass to Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds left in the game.

After Brady threw 4 desperate heaves that went nowhere and the clock expired and it all hit me: the Giants won the Super Bowl! My knees got weak. Then came the shower for the much-maligned head coach Tom Coughlin.

Look at Murph over to the left. Awesome. I don't know if it has all the way set in yet. The victory parade in New York City is on the NFL Network and I will watch the game again on NFL Replay Wednesday night.

I know that I have been on an island the last four years, defending Eli, Giants management, Coughlin, the Defense, one thing after another. And now to have them as the Super Bowl 42 Champions with none other than QB Eli Manning as the MVP (sorry Defense) I think all those years on my heels are over. It's in the books, the Pats were the best team of all-time and Eli pulled off the biggest 4th-quarter comeback of all-time.

Thanks all you jet fans for giving me this tribute on the blog the last couple of weeks. I know you are happy that the Pats finally lost, and it was really worth waiting all season for that loss, because it is when it really, really counted.

There is one media member I would like to send a Giant 'ha-ha' to:
How comical are those leadership skills now dumbass? Lets' call into questions YOUR decision-making. We are the best team WITHOUT you. YOU were the whole problem. F' off Tiki Barber, sit in it.

Simply Amazing!

To Quote Bruce, "..Waitin' On A Miracle"

2008-01-31T12:03:00.000-05:00

Before I even write anything:

IT IS GOING TO TAKE A PERFECT GAME FOR THE GIANTS TO BEAT THE PATRIOTS.

That said, here's maybe a glimpse to how:

Obviously, the Giants can't turn the ball over. If they do, they somehow have to WIN the turnover battle vs. the Patriots. I don't like those odds, so not turning the ball over - period - is the best recipe for success.

Secondly, the Giants MUST get pressure from UP THE MIDDLE on Tom Brady. Brady is a killer when he steps up in the pocket. Brady's completion percentage drops significantly when he rolls out. And if he rolls out versus the Giants?

You get to run into Mike Strahan and Osi Umenyiora, and it's damn hard to keep your eyes downfield when those two guys are within arm's reach. That said, Brady gets rid of the ball in less than one second after the snap. Even unblocked, it is impossible to get to him that way. I say, delay the edge rush by ONE STEP and push up the middle, then when Brady had to take off to the his left or right - here comes the Strahan/Umenyiora surge. That might make it difficult to get the ball off to:

Wes Welker, the assassin of the short-passing game. Welker and Moss MUST GET HIT and get hit a lot. Even if they catch it. The Giants defense is going to be playing like Team Rabies. There is no tomorrow, there isn't another meaningful football game until next September, so I expect bloodthirsty madness for 60 minutes. I think the Giants are very hungry, if they can make no mistakes on offense, special teams and defense, they will win.

The Giants running game doesn't need to dominate, but that would help. I think the wild card this time is rookie running sensation Ahmad Bradshaw, whom the Patriots DID NOT play against in the last game of the regular season at Giants Stadium. Bradshaw is a GAME BREAKER. The new England defense is very good, but they are not that fast. If Bradshaw sees some green, he is gone. Jacobs brings in a tremendous dimension. The big fella can really wear a defense down. In the 2nd half, look for a lot of Bradshaw as the Pats D gets tired.

So, if all of the above manages to happen, there are still 3 other playmakers who can change the game:

The patriots will run, but only reluctantly or to wind the clock down. Brady would prefer to throw for a three-yard gain than for Maroney to grind it out. If the Giants D Line and Linebackers can shut maroney and the short-passing game down, the Super Bowl will still come down to a crazy play or two from Belichick.

You absolutely cannot let up against the Patriots. No lead is ever big enough. Only till when that clock reads 0:00 can you count on winning. I think the Giants realize that and you will see a team play with reckless abandon. I think this is going to be one of the best Super Bowls ever. It will either crown the best team ever or (hopefully) will be the greatest upset ever.

I know it will hurt, but Jet fans, you need to pull for the Giants. You hate the Patriots and at least you will get the regional pride. Good luck, Blue.

And finally, regardless of the outcome of the Super Bowl, it is real nice to see Eli finally getting some respect around the League. Also, an interesting note, Jeremey Shockey isn't even with the team at the Super Bowl, opting instead to stay in Florida.

What the f? This is a very bad sign. Some guys on ESPN were saying stuff about Shockey just having surgery and not suppossed to be flying and whatnot. That is a bunch of crap. I think he's sulking in FLA and his ego is sore because the Giants have played their best football without him. And Eli's passer rating has shot way up, no interceptions. makes you wonder how many of those picks are Shockey's fault for shitty route running. By my count this season, at least 5.

Tom Brady Owes Mo a Ring!

2008-01-28T15:49:00.000-05:00

I am calling out Tom Brady right now to give a little credit where credit is due. Back in 2001, our own Mo Lewis laid a hit on Drew Bledsoe so hard, that the Patriots were forced to put their unknown, second year quarterback in to fill his shoes. The moment Mo laid made that hit in Foxboro, a dark cloud immediately covered the stadium. As they wheeled Bledsoe off the field on a stretcher, every Pats fan and their brother thought the next 10 years were going to be filled with futility.

On the contrary, the next 7 would bring 3 Superbowl Rings (soon to be 4). And the most dominant quaterback in NFL history.

When Mo made that hit, he was not trying to kill Bledsoe. In fact, he thought Bledsoe was going to run out of bounds. So Lewis just held his ground to protect a possible first down (that he didn't think Bledsoe would be stupid enough to try for). But sure enough, Bledsoe tried to make Lemons of Lemonade and the rest was history.

After that play, Bledsoe went to the hospital for a three day stay to get fluid drained out of his body and such. And in came the unknown Brady. And of course, Brady went on to take the Pats to their first Superbowl win that year. Then won two others. And is on his way to winning his third (unless the G-men pull off a miracle).

In a recent article on Yahoo (or something) Lewis said he never has spoken to Brady, except the second time they played the Pats after his hit on Bledsoe. During that game, Brady broke out of the pocket and went to run for a first.

Lewis was about 10 feet away and Brady went down into a slide. After the game, Mo went to ask Brady why he went down so fast. Brady responded that his coaches told him that if you see number 57, immediately fall down. Mo laughed.

But here we are. Brady has everything in the world. He's got the hot chicks, the big money endorsements and is on the verge of his fourth ring.

My question is this: Does he think of Mo? Does he every think of what would have happened if Mo didn't make that hit? Does he ever think of how obscure he would be right now?

He would probably be a back up journeyman right now. He'd probably be backing up Brad Johnson somewhere.

What about Mo? I think he lives in Texas or somewhere down south. He goes fishing. He helps the poor. He does charity.

But he never got a ring. After 13 years as one of the best linebackers in the NFL, he never won a Superbowl. Never even got to one. In fact, Mo will not even watch the Superbowl. It is too heart wrenching to watch, knowing that he never got to one.

So, I am calling Tom Brady out. I am here by announcing to the world (by world I mean, Figgy the Mick and Fakehead...and possibly Val Halla) that Tom Brady should donate one of his Superbowl Rings to Mo Lewis. In fact, I think he should give him his first one. That is the one Lewis really deserves.

Without Mo Lewis, there is no Tom Brady. So Brady, if you are reading this (which I know you are), give a brother a bone. And I think you should not just give him one. But rent a hall and invite all his friends. Make it a suprise. Tell him that it is a charity event, but at the beginning of the party, get on the microphone and give your speech and hand over the rock.

That is the way to do it. In fact, invite me and my buddies.

So Brady, you are making history. But don't forget who buttered your bread!

Happy Wednesday

2008-01-23T11:17:00.000-05:00

Hola Jets fans! Let's talk about the Jets' mysterious drafting powers, how on Earth can so many drafts come up bust?

Remember this guy? Bonus points to whoever can resist reading further down this sentance to find out the answer. Hint: he's your top 1991 draft choice, suppossed to be the Franchise QB - may I re-introduce you to Mr. Browning Nagle.

This particular individual you may not recognize (but I think should be a first-round pick at DT, what a run stuffer). This furry fella came off the back of Eli Manning recently. It wasn't a monkey on there, it wasn't a gibbon, a lemur or a baboon either. That shit was a gorilla.

The level of ass-kissing currently commencing on ESPN has me in blinking disbelief. I've waited years to hear the things that they are finally saying. It felt like I was on an island defending Eli for all these years. Especially from casual football fans who could be watching a game and not realize what they are seeing. Sometimes taking a sack is a smart thing, sometimes the receiver runs the wrong route (ummm, Jeremy Shockey 1 out of 3 routes) and the ball gets picked off - but oh, wait THAT was the quarterback's fault!

Especially all the tabloid football broadcasters (you hear me Collinsworth, Costas and ESPECIALLY Tiki Barber?) who trounced this guy at every turn, every slim opportunity. The ESPN guys have been less 'sensational' about it, correctly analyzing plays and noting when an INT is the QB's fault or not. But more than not, they have always put the Kid down.

Fuck off, critics! All the hard work is paying off now.

In other news, TO's bonus option will be picked up. He's another year older and I hate that he is still in the NFC East, but at least it's not Randy Moss and Tom Brady. I have to admit that the guy is a fierce competitor though. When he was crying 'about' Tony Romo I think he was just in total shock that his season was over. The Cowboys just KNEW they were going to the Super Bowl this year. It is hard to be Lead Dog all year long and to keep it up.

Sad ro hear of Heath Ledger dying. I wasn't a big fan or anything, but it sucks when talented people die young from their own recklessness. And weird when someone who 'has it all' does that and dirt poor motherfuckers living in a slum in Calcutta drink effluence, eat rats and would never think of taking their own life.

The Snowball's Chance

2008-01-21T11:00:00.000-05:00

Much was made about Sunday's NFC Championship Game, and all the pundits and 'experts' thought it was a foregone conclusion: the Green bay Packers charmed season would continue and everyone would get to see their favorite sentimental match-up in the Super Bowl - Favre vs. Brady; the weather would be too cold and inconsistent QB Eli manning was a disaster waiting to happen; the Giants formidable pass rush would be able to get no footing to pressure the savvy veteran Favre, whose short passing game and yards-after-the-catch big-play ability would overwhelm a banged-up Giants secondary.

Well, it was cold. Didn't seem to bother either team very much, however, and all the talk all week long about it being a major factor evaporated right away. Moving the ball wasn't a problem for either team and neither QB seemed to have a problem throwing the ball. Minus one big play for Green Bay - a 90-yard pass to Donald Driver -the Giants pretty much handled the Packers. Long drives by the Giants offense was only resulting in field goals, but that served to ice down Favre and that explosive Packer offense on the sideline, not allowing them to create a tempo in their drives.

What can you say about Plaxico Burress? The man had a career game. He didn't score any TD's, but he abused a top cornerback in Al Harris. Green Bay's defense relied on one-on-one coverage and to make plays through the pass rush, much like the Giants. Except the Packers have supposedly better cornerbacks: Charles Woodson got his ass RUN OVER in the first quarter by Brandon Jacobs and we never heard from him again, Al Harris got beat like a bitch all day, and all game continued to talk, and all game Plaxico made him look like a sucker. I was most surprised by Plax's success and Eli's no fear in going after him.

The Defense won the day again. I can't underscore how important the defense is, even if the stat sheet doesn't even explode at you. The pressure applied by the Giants front defensive four is the paramount ingredient, not so much getting a lot of sacks, but making the QB uncomfortable in how he throws - not being able to step in, when they step in knocking them on their ass, etc. You have seen in three playoff games three top-tier QB's in Jeff Garcia, Tony Romo and Brett Favre become unravled late in games, making bad throws even when there is not necessarily that much pressure. I believe the term is called ' happy feet'. In the play in which Favre tossed the INT to the Giants in overtime you could see Favre threw the ball before he was really ready to. How come? He heard the footsteps coming.

Corey Webster has been playing incredible lately, the injury to Sam Madison giving him the opportunity to shine. Not enough praise can be heaped on the front four though, especially in the second half of games during this remarkable playoff run: DE's Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyioura and DT's Fred Robbins and Justin Tuck. The pressure they apply without the benefit of blitzers is the reason we are where we are right now. That, and no turnovers by the QB.

How about Lawrence Tynes missing two potentially game-winning field goals in regulation, only to drill a 47-yarder in Overtime to give the G-men the win.

I love to see scenes like this. The team has really embraced Eli as the leader and it is all coming together at the right time. Eli has played like Peyton this post-season and I can't help but feel like we are goingt to be a competitive force in the NFC for years to come. Our last few drafts have been huge, with players such as Webster, Ross, Tuck, Jacobs, Bradshaw and the whole Offensive Line playing heroic, postseason football.

Oh yeah, Mike! Now, let's spoil the Patriots' perfect season!!!!

How comical is Eli's leadership now, Tiki? I'll tell you what's comical: The Giants are a better team without you. How dumb do you feel right now on the Today Show while the Giants are in the Super Bowl? Or sitting on that glib and tabloid set that they call NBC football. Because, as memory serves me, in the first game of the season (Giants vs. Dallas) Collinsworth and Costas and Tiki had a riot taking apart Eli and dissing him and saying he doesn't have what it takes. Well, all you motherfuckers, how smart and 'expert' are you now? You are a talking fucking head and you wear make-up. Karma has never been richer, cause now as Tiki schleps around NYC people look at him and laugh, "What a dickhead, he could be in the Super Bowl right now if he didn't run himself out of the locker room by dissing his coaches and teammates." Serves him fucking right in my Big Blue opinion.

I hope I see these faces all together for years to come. Strahan has at least two more years in him if he can get some training camp concessions. What a great year. Serious strides have been made on this team and it makes me happy, thinking back to my birthday four years ago when the Giants traded for Eli Manning, and here we are on the cusp of the Championship, up against the juggernaut Patriots. Of course, no one will pick the Giants to win because hardly anyone picked them to beat Tampa Bay. Then nary an expert except for Mike Ditka picked the Giants to upset the Cowboys. And then NOBODY in the whole damn country save for the Giants fans themselves gave them a SNOWBALLS chance against the Packers. This is just the way we like it. We'll travel to another continent to play a game, to Wisconsin, Dallas, Arizona, the Moon - it doesn't matter: 10 straight road wins! Bring on the damn Patriots!

O YEAH!

Man o man, what can I say? I'M LOVING IT!!

I am savoring these moments. And I hope our 'road warrior' mentality pays off yet again up in the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field. Taking care of the football is of paramount importance in bad weather conditions.

There are many shout-outs needed, so let me gets these out of the way before all the pictures:

Eli- way to go, kid. Now everyone can shut the hell up. Especially if we sneak out a win in America's Siberia. His playoff performance has been impeccable and I couldn't ask for anything more. Great management of the game, not forcing bad throws, no fumbles, great job at making line changes, play audibles and taking what the defense gives you. And what can I say about the 47-second TD drive to tie it up at the half of the Dallas game? Elway-esque?

New York Giant Defense - unbelievable job. The QB pressure gives me a hard-on. We keep losing guys and the back-ups are stepping in and playing their butts off.

Offensive Line- though the Giants are not exactly mashing opposing defenses in these playoffs with the run game, and the big guys up front have let up a few sacks - overall, they are playing well and I cansee they are fighting for their quarterback.

How about the contributions of our young guys?!? Steve Smith (2nd round WR) has had several big catches in these playoffs. The rookie had a reputation for great hands, route-running and football IQ coming out of USC. Late in the season, he is finally making an impact. CB Aaron Ross, RB Ahmad Bradshaw, Safeties Michael Johnson and Craig Dahl are all rookies playing in must-win games.

What a 2008 playoffs for the Well-Dressed-One, all-time Giants receptions leader Amani Toomer.

Thank YOU, Jessica Simpson. And I appreciate the patriotism you display here.

Last yet foremost, let's give credit to the biggest free-agency pickup of the previous off-season south of Randy Moss: Steve Spagnuolo. With that said, here's hoping that he doesn't go be a head coach after this season. What a marvelous job this guy has done. Aside from the QB pressure that he is generating, I think his greatest work this year has come during halftime of games and the defensive adjustments he has made. A SUPERLATIVE performance this year.

I know you guys are Jet fans, but this is good for your area too. C'mon! Let's go Giants!!!!

No one but us loyally blind fans gave Big Blue a chance against Tampa or Dallas, so there is no reason why we can't pull another one off!

Real quick -

2008-01-11T14:48:00.000-05:00

There are a few things I need to discuss - (what the fuck is all this advertising shit before you get to the post Unruly? What has happened to this site while I have been on the DL?)

1. The Jets got the worst pick in the draft for a 4-12 team, that is so fucking lame. I'm still glad they beat the Chiefs. I bet Herm Edwards lost on purpose, he is the type, fuck him.

2. Chad vs. Kellen Clemens - it's a toss up, but Clemens blows. I have a feeling the Jets are going to use Chad as trade bait though. We'll see.

3. Speaking of Clemens, I almost like the guy now, and I'm talking about Roger. I love the fact that he is going down fighting, taping the rat, suing the guy for defamation, going on 60 Minutes, the shit is bananas!!!!! I think he is the poster child for roids (throwing a bat at somebody after you hit them = roid rage) but I also have a huge problem with the fucking feds getting involved and basing their case on the word of a guy trying to save himself from jail. It's bullshit.

4. The writer's strike is killing me. How many more fucking reality shows must I endure? I really wish they would legalize the public executions of anyone on MTV or reality shows that blow. I don't have a problem with shows like the "Biggest Loser" because it encourages something good, so no need to put them before the firing squad (I do NOT watch that show, by the way) and the Home show where they build houses for kids with dead parents and shit, that's okay. But, any reality show on MTV and pretty much every other reality show needs to have the contestants killed. I say put on the Yule lug year around or maybe MTV can play some fucking MUSIC VIDEOS. Tina Tequila should be publicly raped and killed. The Hills stars should be put in a gas chamber. Paris Hilton should be shot in the knees and eaten by a tiger, and so on. OR, since I believe that all reality TV is completely FAKE and scripted, they should just admit it's not "reality" like the WWF and the like admitted it's not a sport. I would be okay with that because then they are just bad regular tv shows and you can blame the writers. Speaking of reality TV, last night I watched part of two reality shows, Celebrity Apprentice and Celebrity Rehab. First of all, everyone on each show should be beaten, maybe killed. Regardless, the Apprentice isn't bad but only for one reason ...

Dude, Ivanka Trump is pretty hot. And she sounds smart, for some reason I keep thinking she will sound Swedish or something, but that is her mom I guess. Regardless, the more Ivanka the more I watch. But the term "Celebrity" Apprentice is pushing it. I don't know any of the celebs on the show except a Baldwin, Pussy and some sports people (not real sports, shit like fighting, boxing, softball?). That cunt Omorosa is on again, which is a joke, but even worse (and a clear example of why reality isn't real) is that when she fucked up the first mission and was a cunt to everyone the Trump didn't fire her because everyone loves to hate her so he needs to keep her around in case somebody is watching. Well, it made me stop watching pretty much, except for the Ivanka Watch. (Oh, Trump's son is on as well, the kid is a fucking ugly idiot and clearly is resting on his (dad's) laurels for the rest of his life). Anyway, Baldwin is annoying as fuck but I am rooting for him.

Speaking of Baldwins, Daniel Baldwin is on "Celebrity" Rehab. That show is one for the ages. First of all, "Dr. Drew" is as much of a doctor as "Dr. Nick Rivera" on the Simpsons is. What are his credentials to run a rehab? Right. The good doctor is in over his head and clueless and I hope nobody EVER lets him diagnosis or go near a patient after this show ends. The hands down best part of the Rehab show was when the guy from Grease and Taxi (the old show) can't even speak and Dr. Drew shits his pants and calls real medical professionals to take care of him. I wish that guy died (either the doctor or Grease guy), it would have been awesome. There's a porn star who tries to smuggle dildos in the rehab AND used to fuck one of the loser musicians (one-hit wonder band) who is also there - gee, what a surprise!!!! Speaking of losers, China and Bridgette Nielson are there, of course, as they are making their reality show rounds, as are some stinkbox from American Idol and finally, "Jamie Foxworth" from the Erkel show. Her mother's last name is Foxx, but I guess there is only room for one Jamie Foxx in Hollywood, especially when the loser one is a somewhat hot but pothead loser girl. One great thing VHI did (please, please let their corporate headquarters get bombed in the next 9-11) was show "Home Video" of the celebs doing drugs and going out. Except, they must think America is a bunch of dumb fucks because the "home video" is professionally shot with a cameraman!!!!!!!! Reality????? Please.

From clips of the season to come, it looks like Daniel Baldwin calls out the doctor on what a sham the rehab program is, the porn star gets strangers to come into the facility and get naked with her, and Dr. Drew walks out on them at one point. I swear to fucking God, Mary Ellis-Burham is in the 7th Circle of Hell right now ( I think that stinkbox died of cancer, thank God) for what she hath released upon the world. I think Reality TV is to blame for global warming and 9-11 as well. Anyway, Dr. Drew should have the license he got out of a cracker-jack box seized from him and he should have his stupid glasses shoved up his ass before skinning him alive. All of the "celebrities" on the Rehab show should be strapped with explosives and dropped from a plane on Afghanistan, except Daniel Baldwin. Why do I give the Baldwins a pass? Alec saves them. I think Alec is fucking great, funny as shit in real life, as evidenced by the message leaked by his cunt ex-wife to the press, and on 30 Rock. Anyway, that's my two cents.

5. The Giants vs. the Cowboys - enjoy it Giants' fans. When I say "Enjoy it" I mean the drubbing the Cowboys are going to give your precious team. My prediction is 'Boys 34 - Giants 13. Eli is going to wear brown pants (with the permission of the NFL) to hide the shits he will be taking when he get sacked and picked off. Two okay games in a row for Eli when it matters? Not going to happen. And then there's the secondary of the Giants, which did a great job on whoever the Bucs' receivers were. Now they have to face Tony Romo, who is not gay nor a shitty QB like Jeff Garcia is, and TO, Terry Glenn, even Crayton isn't bad, throw in Jason Witten and there is a situation. And Kevin Boss is no Jeremy Shockey (as evidenced by the fact I picked up Boss for my FF team one week and he didn't even catch a fucking ball!!!!! But Romo is banging a certified hottie, Jessica Simpson:

Plus the Cowboys have the Cowgirls, aka hot cheerleaders, as evidenced below:

The GGirls don't even have cheerleaders (fags).

All that being said, for the Giants fans that I actually like I wouldn't care if the GMen won. I just hope it is an entertaining game because I plan on having a few beers somewhere and watching it.

I will have more on the Jets later, but there isn't much to say until draft time ...

Happy New Year!

Yeah Boy

2008-01-08T10:21:00.000-05:00

LET'S GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jets screw us by winning today!

2007-12-30T05:52:00.000-05:00

This is a picture of Fakehead and myself before we could afford jersey's.

I am predicting that Mangini will put a cherry on top of a miserable season by winning today's game vs. Kansas City and ensuring that we will not have the number 2 draft pick next year.

What will happen is he will start Chad Pennington who will look like Vince Young as he puts on an audition for Herm Edwards and says fuck you to the Jets as he does whatever he has to do to win this one.

I will actually be at the game today with Little Unruly. We are taking one of his buddies and his dad. Oh, the only reason I am going is that we are 20 seats up from the field. But we get one hint of rain or snow and I am staying home.

But you know what, I will be cheering Chad. He did a great job for us. He brought us to the playoffs a few times. He had the spirit of 20 guys. He took a pay cut for us. He got injured like crazy. And our organization is telling him to beat it.

But I tip my hat to Sir Chad. And no matter where he goes, he will always be a Jet. And if I get in shouting distance from him today I will let him know that he will always be our QB.

With that said, my stomach is bothering me. I think I have the HIV. My throat is all weird too. Every night it gets all like horse.

At any rate, I will be wearing my Pennington jersey. L.U. (Little Unruly) will be wearing his Santana Moss jersey (we haven't upgraded yet). Actually, next time I get a Jets jersey it will be like a Nameth or a Gastinau or maybe even a Jeff Lageman jersey. Everytime you get a jersey, they guy switches teams and there goes $100 down the drain.

On that note I have a funny story. Last year I was on this big eBay kick. And to save money I was buying everybodies presents for Christmas on eBay. My nephew (on my wife's side) is a big Mets fan. So I found a Mets jersey with the tags still on it for like $5.00. I was so pyched. So I got it, wrapped it and was actually really excited for the little guy (who was 9 at the time).

When he opened it, there was the name Park (or Nomo) on the back. I am pretty sure it was Park for that Jap who was on the team a few years back. The kid was completely demoralized. I actually felt really bad. Lesson Learned: Always read the descriptions on eBay.

SCORE:

Jets 34

Chefs 33

Gooooooooooooooo Jets!

Musings Of The Mick

2007-12-19T11:57:00.000-05:00

Aha! The Achilles heel!

Of course, my team totally shit the bed last week, so who am I to talk, but FINALLY a chink in the armor of the Dallas Cowboys. You take away the big play and make Tony Romo a pocket passer, game manager and you can win. Corralling Juluis Jones and Marion Barber is tough too, but it can be done. ESPECIALLY when the quarterback is being distracted by his new celebrity romance. I mean, c'mon, tell me he doesn't walk into team meetings and everyone is thinking about and joking with him about tapping that ass? Its Daisy Duke for Pete's sake!

Okay, enough about those fuckers. Let's talk Jets. I know last week is probably a sore subject, but it was a game! I didn't like all the Bard Smith though, he made a couple of nice plays, a few first downs, but he also looked like he would fumble or get picked when he threw the ball. You have to be happy about the way they played considering the first Jet offensive play was a pass that sailed right to the Pats' Eugene Wilson which he walked into the end zone with for a three-yard touchdown. In addition, Clemens was down for the count, a victim of a nasty sideways pancake courtesy of DE Richard Seymour. Here is where I realized something: playing Pennington is probably the better move. But who trots out series after series? Chad, the guy who beat them in Foxboro last year? Nope. Brad F'in Smith. I couldn't believe it. And they kept running the same three plays over and over again. It drove me crazy.

But despite all that, the J-E-T-S were still in the game. You gotta be happy about that. Tom Brady threw nary a touchdown, the Jets the first team in the league to do that.

Let's talk draft choice. Who do you think the Jets will pick? Will they trade down for more picks? Miami is going to have the first pick, but what do they do with it? You have Ronnie Brown for the next few years, and he was emerging as a big-time threat in the ground game and through the air catching the ball out of the backfiled. So do they take McFadden of Arkansas? The kid is sick, absolutely sick and loves big games. He beat LSU this year nearly single-handedly and LSU is one of the top defenses in college football and they were entirely keying on McFadden. Yet he still shredded them. I don't see how the Dolphins can resist him. They have an aging defense however, and could maybe select that Dorsey kid from LSU. Then again, their QB situation is a problem so whose to say that they won't pick Broehm from Louisville? Or, they too could trade their pick to someone else for more picks down the line.

Then comes the next pick, NO. 2, which is very up in the air still. The Jets, the Falcons and the Rams all have 3 wins currently. With two games to go that situation can change very quickly. Plus, there is the Ravens, Raiders, Chiefs and 49'ers with 4 wins at the moment. So if none of them win a game from here on out, they will be in the running for that No. 2 pick. I don't think the Jets are going to lose out the season either, so they could really be looking at draft picks 3, 4 or 5 probably. So I ask you, the Jets faithful, who do you draft? What position needs the most immediate help?

Bill Parcells appears interested in becoming the manager of football operations with the Atlanta Falcons. Fucking Damn it! It is sheer anathema to me that he is not in Giants blue. Come manage our shit! You and Coughlin are friends!

I think the Colts are going to give the Pats the ultimate run for their money this time round. They are getting healthier. Not having Dwight Freeney is big, and potentially no Marvin Harrison, but the field and weather conditions don't favor their games anyway. Its all about the Colt O line and Joseph Addai. He runs like a mudder, nimble and great vision and field awareness. The Colt D is very good and getting better for their playoff run. Bob Sanders is the shit. Tell me you guys aren't going to be Colts fans when the AFC Championship rolls around.

I realize the Giants are going anywhere, MAYBE past the first round because we are actually a good football team on the road, but I am sure we are dead after that. I am happy if we win at Buffalo to get in, because there ain't a snowballs' chance in hell we beat the Patriots the last week of the season. Though that is a great game to take Brady out in.

So if Blue can't do it, I'm a Packer fan all the way! Breatt Favre rescued my fantasy season for me. My original QB, Mr. Drew Brees, had me go 0-5 to start the season, then I dumped his ass and went with Old Man Favre. Favre got me to the 8th seed and into the playoffs I went against the No. 1 seed who had Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson AND Chester Taylor, Braylon Edwards, etc. And I won! Our league just ended this weekend and I finished third which means I get my money back. My girlfriend finished in second so she gets 100 bucks, so our household made out pretty well this fantasy year. I understand Unruly has been kicking ass too.

Finally, I had to admit loving watching the Dolphins/Ravens game this past weekend, where Miami earned their first victory of the year. I was rooting for them. It was a great, dramatic finsih too. A 60-yard walkoff TD pass. Scored by a fast white guy no less. Man, it was like they won the Super Bowl. I'm happy for them that they got that feeling for one week this season. So many teams win joylessly these days, it was really nice to see genuine thrill.

Then the Giants blew it, so I went back to being pissed off.

See you F'ers soon!

Quick Predicts

2007-12-16T01:46:00.000-05:00

The Mick Returns!!!!

Endless well deserved props go to Fakehead! Great articles.

Here are my (very) early playoff breakdowns:

Lets get the easy part over with:

NFC

Dallas and Green Bay obviously have the first round bye. Seattle has its division wrapped up and Tampa virtually has there's. The Giants need to win vs. Washington and they're in as the first wild card and then Minnesota, one dangerous fucking team, looks hungry and headed for that 6 seed.

Predictions past there? I don't mind if I do. You heard it here first folks: Eli Manning gets his first playoff victory at the expense of the Tampa Bay Bucs. The Giants are road warriors this season, so its almost to our benefit to be a wild card. 6-1 right now with one road game to go at Buffalo. The only road loss was the first game of the season at Dallas, in a game that the G-men almost snuck away with. The Giants win at Tampa.
Seattle is a tough place to win at. But the Vikings are a downright nasty, physical football team. I like them to sneak it out at Seattle.

Of course, this is probably where the road ends for these two teams. Dallas is just bananas and lucky. Green Bay hopefully will get healthy and give them a run for their money in Dallas. I'd love it if Favre were in the Super Bowl again.

The AFC is considerably harder to sort out in terms of the Wild Card picture, but here it goes:

Pats and Colts have first round bye and the Steelers face Cleveland for the third time this year, but at Heinz Field where the field is ketchup due to contractural stadium obligations I think the Steelers will prevail yet again, though I love Romeo and what they have going on in Cleveland, Jamal Lewis is a mudder type of RB, but the Steelers win. Jacksonville at the Chargers is harder to call, I like the Jaguars. Of course, this is where it ends for the Steelers and Jaguars and the inevitable showdown at Foxboro between the Colts and the Pats. Addai is the superior runner in this game, but the Colt O line just isn't the same in pass protection this year on the left side, the Pats win, damn it.

Miracle in Massachusetts?

2007-12-13T16:04:00.000-05:00

Um, I don't think so.

The Jets travel to Foxboro this Sunday and are currently favored to LOSE by 24 points. To be honest, I think that is giving the Jets more credit than they deserve. Let's face it, these Jets are not the Jets of 1969, who were 18 point underdogs in Super Bowl III against the Baltimore Colts, who were 13-1 at the time. Ah, to have those days back, Where have you gone, Joe Namatheo?

There are several reasons for the Pats to run up the score on the Jets, (Spygate, Mangina, Bellicunt is a fuckstick, etc.) but I think the Patriots OWE the Jets for getting them all fired up this season. Were it not for the Jets ratting out the Pats, then they would have no motivation to go undefeated and show the world they can win without cheating. What other motivation do they have? They are a bunch of jerkoffs otherwise, with nothing to prove, everyone knows they are awesome, they are all fucking models, whether those models are their wives or not, and so on. So fuck them. They should BE GRATEFUL the Jets alerted the NFL about their reindeer games! So grateful they should at least take Tom Brady out of the game when it is 73-0. We'll see.

Honestly though, I hope that the Jets can put some points on the board and at least make it interesting. In a perfect world, they would knock Brady out of the game, but that could be a double-edged sword if Cassel comes in and still kicks the Jets' asses.

My legit prediction is: Pats 59 Jets 17. I hope I am WRONG and it is a lot closer, but I'm scared.

OTHER STUFF

1. MLB is a mess. This whole Mitchell Report this is a disaster. I know roids fucked up the game, but as long as they try to keep it out from now on what can you do about what happened in the past? Is everyone going to get an asterisk? Besides, where is the concrete proof any one of these guys took roids besides a fucking rat singing to make his jail sentence a few years less. It's bullshit. I wouldn't trust half of the "sources" the report cites, but they apparently do. Of course Clemens and certain hitters were on roids. I was suprised about Paul Lo Duca, but fuck him, he is a National now anyway. At least Beltran and Wright weren't named. The fact remains, however, that you can take as many drugs as humanly possible, but they haven't figured out a drug you can take so you hit .345 every year, react to a Pedro Martinez curveball or see a Mariano fastball before they end up in the catcher's mitt. Hitting a baseball is fucking hard to do, no matter how many illegal drugs you take! So I am conflicted about it all, but in the end I don't really give that much of a shit, because like all sports, it has no real effect on my life.

2. The GMen play the Redskins this week. I think the Giants should win this game. Washington really isn't that good. I guess we'll see who shows up to play at QB for the Giants this year. It will be Peyton Manning's little brother or the retarded kid from "Life Goes On" or maybe a combo of both (retard in first half, little bro in second). I don't understand how Jacobs is always injured. What a fucking pussy. He needs to man up because the Giants need him.

3. I heard a rumor that Jake Gyllenhall has agreed to play Joe Namath in a film about the Jets QB. That would be pretty fucking cool. I hope it happens. I'm not a huge fan of Jake, I always confuse him with SpiderMan (the actor who plays him). They are like, the same actor. One should kill the other, because the living murderer one would get all the dead one's parts offered to him. Anyway, they should make more movies about football. I would watch them in the theater or rent them. (Although I haven't seen "Invincible" yet).

4. I cannot wait to see "I Am Legend." It looks awesome. Something about the last man on earth thing always gets me. Plus, I like how it is just him and his dog. Unfortunately, it looks like the dog doesn't make it. That would be pretty depressing for me to watch, because I am going to be miserable the day my precious dog dies. I fucking worship my dog.

There she is at the beach. She loves the beach. Honestly, nothing beats a dog as a pet. That animal will love you no matter what. That's why I was pretty happy Vick got 23 months. The guy deserved some time. I hope that these other dog fighting fucks will close up shop for the deterrent value of the sentence alone.

5. It's almost Christmas. This year I asked the fat douchebag in the red suit for money, money and mo money. That motherfucker better deliver. On a serious note, I was watching Family Guy the other night but I only caught the end of it. Well, Brian the Dog and Stewie were in Colorado and Stewie lost some skiing race and the two ended up not having a way to get back home so they carjacked some guy. It had to be the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. Something about that dog Brian is the best. Maybe it's the fact that he talks, or maybe because he drinks, I don't know, but it's comic gold.

6. Finally, hot or not? This week's selection is none other than the Dutchess herself, Fergie Motherfuckin' Ferg

I am almost 98% sure she is hot, but sometimes she looks like a French whore on crack. (See first photo above). Some guys like that sort of thing though, so I am going to go with a "hot" for her. Plus, she does have those "lovely lady humps" whatever the fuck those are (fucking weirdo Black Peas).

GO JETS!!!!!!!!!

A bunch of crap. Read it or don't - I don't give a fuck. (GO JETS)

2007-12-06T16:33:00.000-05:00

First things last, the Jets battle the stupid Browns this weekend. The Browns are surprising a lot of people as they are 7-5 and could be headed to the postseason. Derek Anderson, who was cast off by another team, has found a new home in Cleveland (mostly because my 5 year-old niece is a better professional quarterback than Charlie Frye) and is playing well. So well that the Browns have to figure out what to do with gay Brady Quinn, their number one draft choice. (I have to tell you, judging from those Subway commercials Quinn is in, he is has a lot to learn about how to act and throw. He throws those sandwiches like some stinkbox girl).

I think that Anderson is saying "BAAAAALLLLLLLSSSSSS" in the photo above.

Anyway, the Browns defense is crappy, so the Jets have a chance. However, the Browns' offense is fucking good, Mr. Anderson, Drug Dealing Jamal and B. Edwards at WR are legit threats, not to mention that dolt Winslow who almost killed himself on a fucking motorcycle. The Jets' defense is going to have to step it up big time, or their offense is. That being said, I think it is going to be close, and both teams are going to score some points. It is the Browns' game to lose though, because the Jets have nothing to lose and the Browns are playing for the playoffs. That means they are more likely to make the bed the color of their uniforms, as they say.

Interestingly, both Kellen Clemens and Derek Anderson are from Bumblefuck, Oregon (pronounced ORE-GON not ORE-GIN for those of you who are retarded). They actual battled in the Oregon State Playoffs and twice in college, where Clemens went to Oregon and Anderson went to Oregon State. Clemens only beat Anderson once, and Anderson's numbers were better overall. However, I think it is pretty cool that they are meeting up again in the NFL.

If I had the time (and talent) and didn't write all these gay blogs I would write a movie based on these two, or least based on 2 rival quarterbacks from bumblefuck towns in weird states that play in high school, college and eventually the pros and SuperBowl (just to make it interesting). In my movie, one of the QBs would be a fucking drunk, womanizing fuckhead but a great leader on the field. (I.e., the opposite of Eli Manning, who I will discuss later). The other QB will be a family guy who is also a great leader, but not a fucking drunken mess and womanizer. Basically it would be like Micky Mantle and Roger Maris, but they are on different teams. There would have to be a few scenes of them meeting (Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro in "Heat" style) but they would have to hate one another. The question is, who would play these two? I'm thinking Leonardo DiCaprio could play one of them (more on him later) and maybe Heath Ledger as the drunk quarterback, but I'm not sure how big Ledger is. You could always throw a girl in the mix, like sober QB is married to one of the stinkboxes drunk QB used to bang or something, but it might be better just to focus on the football. Maybe you have one of the drunk QB's teammates die and it changes him right before the playoffs start and he gets his shit together to make a run to the Super Bowl. I don't know, it's a work in progress. It would be funny, dramatic and action packed, with plenty of tits, trust me. I don't want Michael Bay directing it though, maybe somebody like Ridley Scott. (Like he would EVER!). For the coaches, maybe James Gandolfini for drunk QB (always yelling at him) and Ving Rhames for sober QB's coach. For the drunk QB's father you will strike box office gold if Jack Nicholson agrees to do it, and he's crazy enough he probably would. For the ladies, you have to find a spot for the Transformers girl and the cheerleader from the TV Show Friday Night Lights, Minka Kelly or something? She is a piece of ass.

Anyway, enough of that nonsense.

Let's going into the "Bag O' Crap" to see what other shit I have talk about today.

1. Rumor has it Leonardo DiCaprio is trying to be friends with his ex-girl Giselle (granted, the "rumor" part is something I learned while reading one of my wife's awful tabloid magazines while I was pinching a loaf earlier in the week). But it begs an interesting question, which would you rather be, a hall of fame quarterback who wins 4 superbowls or a world-famous actor? Granted, I am and will never be either, but whatever. The reasoning behind this question is straightforward, what gets you more glory (and ass).

Above is Tom Brady's girlfriend. Have I mentioned that he also knocked up an actress? Granted, the actress is okay, she's no Giselle, but she's still pretty good looking. Anyway, if you are a world famous QB then you have fame and fortune and ads but you are only "hot" for so many years. Granted, I'm sure Dan Marino still can get laid at will, but do you think Terry Bradshaw is banging as many chics as Jack Nicholson? It's not even close. I bet you that if it is between John Elway and Jack Nicholson for the girl below (who is apparently some sort of actress) that it's Jack in a heartbeat.

Granted, playing a sport and being awesome at it and being part of a team and winning championships would be fucking AWESOME. What's the super bowl of acting? Winning an Oscar. Big fucking deal. If little gay Italian dudes can win them then you aren't more of a man for winning one. A Super Bowl makes you a fucking man, because there are 300 lb guys looking to literally kill you on the field. Winning an Oscar meant you had to deal with catered food while you were "on location" for a few fucking weeks. Not to mention the fact, if you play a "mental" you are in the running to win an Oscar, when if you are a "mental" then you can't even play football. Wait, what the fuck am I talking about? Oh yeah, my point is, when it comes to ass, acting probably gets you more in the long run. Nobody give the fuck about some old quarterback, but an old actor can get a young actress a job just for blowing him.

Glory can go either way, but football has the opportunity for both personal and team glory, when acting is pretty much an individual thing. Plus, let's face it, sure, being an actor is sort of a gay job, even you have to "work out" for a role you have a personal trainer and you could be a super hero on the screen and a homo in real life. Plus you have to deal with crazy annoying people, whereas football is pretty cut and dry, either you are good or you're not, you get paid money, you don't have to worry about annoying or eclectic directors, producers, etc., "selling out" etc. I don't know, acting is an "easier" job I would say, especially because you don't usually run the risk of getting killed or paralyzed or not being able to walk when you are 50 (except of course if you are related to Bruce Lee) but football would be much more fun. Granted, when you are an actor you can do all sorts of drugs and drink and be crazy and you don't get "suspended" from acting. So that's cool. There are "cross-overs" like OJ Simpson and players can always be announcers and shit like that after they are done playing, but girls don't give a shit about the host of "Gameday Live" or else Chris Berman would have 10 illegitimate kids. So in the end, I would want to play football and have a nice run of women and glory (and I would be drunk a lot too, especially in the off-season). Acting is too much work and it could last forever. Plus the fucking paparazzi. I wish all the paparazzi would die horrible, awful deaths. They all blow.

2. Brooke Burke is still fucking hot.

I don't know how old she is, maybe she is in her 30s, which is like 120 in model years, but damn she is hot. I forget what she is famous for, maybe being on E! I think, and obviously modeling. But she is definitely the type of girl an actor/producer dates. She would be good for the best years of a football player's career too. For example, Tony Romo, Derek Anderson, Vince Young could probably bag Burke, but Chad Pennington wouldn't have a chance. He's probably kicking himself for not taking advantage of his starting status as far as poon-tang goes.

3. Did you know there is a third Manning child? His name is Cooper, and he is eldest of the three. He is the tallest in the photo below, and looks the goofiest. Peyton has a smug look on his face, and Eli, well, he looks cute to be honest (besides his awful clothes).

Cooper was an All-State WR and played on the same HS football team as Peyton, who was the QB. Of course, Cooper had 76 catches for over 12oo yards that year. Before he went to college he started having numbness in his hand and fingers and eventually he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal canal. Basically, he had to get surgery, could never play football again and had to relearn how to walk. I think this story is interesting because was Archie Manning that fucking good at football? I mean, Christ, he was before my time but he almost got all of his sons to the NFL. Cooper is fine by the way, he makes money and lives in New Orleans with his wife and kids and blah blah blah. I have to be honest, I would have enjoyed seeing Peyton throw passes to his brother. That would have been a good story. Maybe the talent gene in the Manning family decreases with each child. Maybe Cooper was the best, Peyton is great, and Eli is like Danny DeVito in the "Twins" movie.

Speaking of Eli, rumor has it he screams like a girl when he is about to get sacked and every week he has to request new pants as his are stained with defecation from when is about to be hit. That's just a rumor I heard, it may or may not be true.

4. My furnance is 21 years old. It was just repaired (thanks to PSE and G's "Worry Free" Contract) and they said I will have to get a new one soon. This blows. They cost around 4-5 grand. The worst part is, if the "heat exchanger" cracks then carbon monoxide will poison my house and kill everyone inside. Yes, we have a CM alarm, but my family's life is going to depend on a fucking Duracel battery? It's a scary thought. I don't care about me, but I don't want anything happening to the rest of my family or my dog (Cat I could give or take). Fucking carbon monoxide. Bullshit.

4. On a serious note, another jerkoff stupid loser went on a shooting spree in Nebraska. This drives me so nuts I can't even take it. He wanted to "go out in style" and be "famous" according to news reports. Honestly, if I was related to one of the victims, I would sue NBC and the rest of the media outlets for making that stupid zip who shot up Virgina Tech famous by airing his "manifesto" last year. These crazy losers who can't get laid get guns and kill people, then they are proclaimed as the anti-Christ and any myspace, video, diary, etc. they write/shoot becomes their legacy and if you watch the news it is shoved down your throat and analyzed by experts and blah blah blah. It only enables the next stupid cunt to pick up his gun and "go out in style." SO I say sue the major networks for intentional infliction of emotional distress, something, just put it out there so maybe networks won't be so quick to make these psychos' "fame" last one second longer than after the bullet they shoot to kill themselves penetrates their skull. (Pussies, all of them, by the way). Who cares if it gets dismissed, they will have to pay lawyers to defend themselves and maybe something good will come out of it. I'm fucking serious about this. It has to stop.

Plus, as I've said before, can anyone learn something from Flight 93 during 9-11? Fight fucking back! Nobody wants to confront these fucks, who as long as they aren't shooting right at you aren't paying attention to one or two people. Use anything as weapons to try to stop these lunatics so more people don't get killed. I know it is easier said than done, but there is no other option.

Finally, all these kids need is to get laid or some fucking alcohol. That would help these stupid, loser geeks to stop writing about Satan in their notebooks or myspace pages and help them see that the world is a lot better than they think it is (at least until they get older and realize that it's not). Fuck their parents too, and their families. Asleep at the switch is an understatement.

6. Finally, I hate Rolling Stone magazine. My subscription runs out in February, but I may cancel it earlier. It's so ultra-liberal I just can't take it anymore. I'm not even conservative, but it drives me nuts! Anything anti-Bush or anti-government is awesome and the best. Movies, albums, artists all get great reviews if they are anti-Bush, pro-environment, etc. I mean, RS actually believes Bush caused 9-11. They also blame the entire war on drugs on the Bushes, when not for nothing, it was well engaged by the time Bush Jr. took over, so why not blame it on Clinton as well? Democrats can do NO wrong according to RS! It's so one-sided it is a joke. In their "Signs of the Apocalypse" article they cite the number one "sign" that Imus is going back on the air. This means the world is going to end. I have a question, what happened to free speech? Imus (and I don't like the guy and what he said was dumb, joke or not) apologized and did everything humanly possible to make amends and he still got fired. Now he is back, big fucking deal, don't listen to him! What a joke.

On a side note, and I'm ending on this, is that I had a buddy who I used to work with named Pat Charles. That was his whole fucking name. I loved that guy's name. He used to work for RS. We lost touch after we stopped working at Bennigan's together. I saw him while I was working at another restaurant and he was out to eat with friends and he told me once that he would send me some shit from RS. Two weeks later, true to his word, he sent me a few issues and a RS hat, which I still have to this day. The guy was a gentleman and a scholar. Anyway, ever since then, I wanted to name my pet or kid "Pat Charles" for a girl, "Patricia Charles" but alas, my wife won't let me. Needless to say, I don't think he works for RS anymore, so fuck those fucking assholes, they can go shit in a hat.

An Interview with Sam Garnes

2007-12-05T13:34:00.000-05:00

Former NFL defensive back Sam Garnes spent some time with me this week talking about something that he feels very strongly about; helping young athletes to be the best they can be.

The 6’3, 225 lbs Garnes spent 7 years in the NFL from 1997 to 2004. He was drafted by the Giants in the fifth round and played with them for five years. He was a big part of their defense when they played in the Superbowl in 2000. Then he spent the remaining two years as a part of the Jets, helping them to make the playoffs as well.

Within a few minutes of talking to Garnes, I realized that football was not something that he just fell into, but something he worked really hard at achieving. Garnes’ message he wants to get across to young athletes is that if they want to move to the next level they need to work for it.

He said that many people he played with in high school were at the same talent level as him but didn’t have the right guidance to take it to the next level. “Our running back was Sheldon Cooper. He was definitely good enough to play in the NFL.”

Currently Garnes spends a lot of his time running clinics, camps and one-on-one trainings to help players get to that next level. His approach is all about teaching fundamentals so athletes can improve their skills necessary to excel in football. His goal is to help the people like Cooper who with the right direction and coaching can make it to the next level.

Garnes would really like to see football have more resources dedicated to it in the tri-state area. “In Texas they play football year round. There are so many talented players in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. If there were more focus on developing these kids, this area would put out a lot of great players to colleges and pro's.”

“There is so much money pumped into this area and they should really allocate more to sports for kids. In the city, kids either do battle on the streets or on the playing field.” Garnes said. “When the season ends, the kids go back to the streets.”

Garnes works in partnership with Primo Sports in Florida, NY and Legends Resort & Country Club Vernon, NJ to help youngsters learn skills from a real professional. His football academy is set up for youngsters from 9 to 14 years old. “We want to get them started young before high school because at that level the coaches bring them to football camps in the summer.”

Garnes also spends time doing private training lessons for many local high school atheletes who are serious about excelling. “Being a defensive back, you get to know about every position. I help quarterbacks with their three-step drops. I teach running how to run. We teach runningbacks how to run. We teach the right fundamentals so when they are on the field it just comes as an instint.”

Earlier this year, he helped out with the Montclair High School football team, which ended up making it to the State Finals in Giants Stadium.

When Garnes was in High School at DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx, he was a defensive back and a wide receiver. Then he was given a scholarship to go to the University of Cincinnati. “I considered myself a wide receiver. I thought I was going to be the next Al Toon or Jerry Rice. But in college they thought I would be better at defensive back.”

Garnes attributes his attitude to his success on the field. “When I was in college, I had an edge that since I was from New York I was tougher than everyone. Not that that was necessarily true, but that was the motivation I used. Our coach said to use whatever motivation works for you, and that is what I did. I told myself that I was better than the kids from Texas and Florida, because I grew up in New York City.”

On his vision to get to the NFL, Garnes said, “I knew I was good enough to play in the NFL. When I was in college my friends used to bust on me because I was so confident about getting to the NFL. It wasn’t a question of ‘NFL or bust’; it was ‘I am going to the NFL’. I didn’t matter, I was going to work as hard as possible and do whatever I needed to do to get to that level.”

Once in the NFL, Garnes made the most of his opportunity. In his first game as a pro, he intercepted a pass and returned it 95 yards for a touchdown vs. the Eagles. “That moment let me know that I could play at this level.”

He also discussed what it was like playing at the Superbowl. “I can’t even describe in words. It was just a dream come true. The two weeks before the whole country is just focused on the game you are about to play. It was really amazing to watch all those camera flashes coming from the stands during that first kickoff.”

Garnes also talked about how he understands how deflating it was to lose that big game. “It was like you worked so hard and played at the highest level you possibly could to get there. I understand how difficult it is for teams to come back and do it again.”

Garnes actually retired in 2003 after starting every year for the seven years he played. “I played a very emotional and physical type of game. My mind and passion were still there, but your body just cannot bounce back as easily when you get older. It was really hard to retire.”

Now Sam lives in New Jersey and is dedicated to using his experience to helping others. If you are interested in talking to Sam or getting private or group training from him just go to his website at http://www.samgarnesfbc.com/ or email him at sg@samgarnesfbc.com.

Goodbye No. 1 Draft Pick, Hello Integrity!

2007-12-03T13:32:00.001-05:00

The Jets won a game yesterday, and I am fucking proud of them. As I have always said, I would take wins over playing for draft picks, I don't care if McFadden from ARK is available or not.

The Jets kicked some major ass yesterday, beating the Dolphins 40-13! They had three sacks (one by our boy Harris) and three interceptions (one by Rhodes - awesome read; and Revis, the rookie can play) and scored 4 offensive TDs. Who were these guys?

Let's start off with the man who inspires these bastards, LC. Coles played despite having an injury that would have kept most pussies out for two more weeks.

He had 5 catches for 69 yards, including a great 32 yard catch on a well thrown ball by Roger Clemens. Speaking of Clemens, the kid wasn't too shabby, going 15-24 for 236 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT. Granted, it's only the Dolphins, but it should give him some confidence going into a game next week (Cleveland) that is winnable.

The defense played great (Rhodes with his 4th INT) and showed some signs of life, thank God. My man Jonathan Vilma was on the sideline on crutches watching the team, which is good news for me, because maybe it means that he doesn't want to go anywhere next year. There has to be room for both him and Harris, and the defense would be much better with both of them on the field.

Finally, Jonesey finally FUCKING SCORED A TOUCHDOWN! I even started him on my fantasy football team because I had a feeling this would be the week. He carried the ball 24 times for 75 yards and a score. Thank Fucking God.

L Wash was great and a nice transition from Jonesy, running 10 times for 68 yards and two scores. I love that fucking guy. The best part about L Wash is that you can tell he loves to fucking play.

Ted Nugent has been much better, making the 17th of his last 18 FGs. But Ben Graham continued to be shitty, with two punts for less than 40 yards (1 26 yards and the other 35). Do we have to send this fuck back to Australia in a body bag? What the fuck? Maybe he should go back to that fucking island and play rugby with the rest of the convicts there. F him unless he punts better.

Other than that, as I Jets fan I cannot complain this week. Again, it was only the Dolphins, but still.

I would rather have the Jets win games then play for a fucking draft pick. I want to see them beat the Cunty Patriots in Foxboro and spoil their undefeated season. Of course, I know that is a pretty much a pipe dream. They will have to score 56 points to beat the Pats and sack Brady a bunch of times, and neither is likely to happen. But, I digress.

GO JETS!

OTHER, MORE INTERESTING STUFF...

1. The Giants - I don't think I need to rip into Eli Manning, the press in NY is doing a good enough job of that. But in the end, the guy woke up from his suck-induced coma and engineered a drive down the field at Soldier Field to win the game. I don't know why his head was so far up his ass the first 3 quarters but I can't fault the guy too much because he won the game on that last drive. Although, if it weren't for the Giants defense and Rex Grossman (in general) then the G-Men aren't even in that game. So, a victory is a victory for you Giants' fans, but the question remains, what is up with dude Eli? Is it because his name is so gay? Is he retarded? Sometimes I think he is, which is great for retarded people, because it shows you can be a QB in the NFL. He looks a little retarded, a little slow. I will call him "special" either way.

2. The Redskins - after the tragic loss of Sean Taylor they started the game on defense with 10 guys. I don't know whose idea that was, but it was fucking brilliant. Honestly, shit like that is why I like sports, the camaraderie, the teamsmanship (is that a word), the whole fox-hole mentality, I fucking love it. I love team sports and I feel bad for Taylor's family (although his stinkbox half-sister has some sort of link to the alleged perps, so F her). Of course, the 'Skins shit the bed and lost the game, which is a pretty lame send-off to ST, but what can you do. Unfortunately, dead players don't always spurn victories. (Although it did for Newark West Side, who won their state championship 20-0 (interestingly, the deceased player's number was 20). If it definitely helped teams win, I would kill Andre Dyson on the Jets, because it would improve the team and maybe help inspire them. Basically, it would be a win-win even if the Jets didn't win.

3. The word "Stinkbox" is probably one of the best made-up words ever. Or it at least holds a place in the top 5 if there is such a list. It is probably as offensive as the word "Cunt" but it doesn't pack such a punch, so you could try to get away with it every once and a while. I didn't make the word up, my buddy did, and he is like Stiffler from American Pie, so you can see how he could come up with such an awesome word. It is one of the many reasons why I look up to him.

Regardless, if you want to use the word to insult a girl without actually calling her an "SB" (another great way to mask the word, just call a girl an "SB", and they won't know what to do), ask her if she got her minor in "Stinkboxology" in college. That always gets them angry, but not as angry as if you actually called them a stinkbox.

4. It's almost Christmas, that means people want donations. A couple of days before Thanksgiving, I went to Wal-Mart and the fucking Salvation Army dude was there ringing his fucking bell. Well, I put a DOLLAR in his stupid bucket (which isn't a bucket anymore, it's a hanging plastic container with an opening the size of the a nun's twat) and the fucking stupid fuck of a "Santa" was shooting the shit with some other hillbilly and didn't see me put the dollar in. Feeling like Costanza, I actually stood by the container for about 7 seconds afterword with my hand near the opening so the "Santa" would see me and acknowledge me. However, the stupid shithead was talking to Bobby Joe or whatever the fuck the other guy's name was about probably fucking their sisters or the sale on Dale Earnheart stickers for their pickups and he never turned around. I went in and bought whatever it is I needed at that awful cheap store and came out and the fucking Santa was there and of course I had to pass him, and he said "Happy Thanksgiving" and looked right at me, I said "You too" and walked by without putting anything in the red twat. Then, shithead that I am, I forget to pick something up while in the store, so while I was there, I decided to go back in and get the item (I think it was a shower curtain or something). So I walked in past "Santa' again and he said "Happy Thanksgiving" again to me, so I said "Happy Thanksgiving" to him, without paying heed to the ringing bell or stupid fucking donation bucket. When I left I had to pass him again and he said "Happy Thanksgiving" again. I just shook my head at the guy and refused to put more money in his tight stinkbox. Either he was being a complete jerkoff and busting my balls, or maybe he was just a drunk stupid fuck who actually didn't remember saying Happy Thanksgiving to me 3 times.

The point of this story is that there is no point donating money if nobody sees you do it. Just fucking forget it. You know what that jerkoff Santa thinks of me? He thinks I am some cheap asshole in a suit who doesn't care about the Salvation Army. He probably thinks I am a jew too. Well, he is right about one thing, I don't give a flying fuck about the Salvation Army, but I ain't Jewish, and I do want people to think I give a shit, especially during the holidays, so I will give a few dollars here and there so as to avoid the appearance of being cheap and/or jewish. (Disclaimer: I'm kidding, not all Jewish people are cheap!)

5. Megan Fox from Transformers is hot, but crazy with all those tats.

Why doesn't she just carry around a fucking book with all those sayings. The easy joke would be to any guy LUCKY enough to get her naked, "Am I supposed to read you or fuck you?"

I'M HERE ALL THE TIME, DON'T FORGET TO TIP YOUR BARTENDERS!!!!!!!!

Unruly's Ramblings

2007-11-29T20:57:00.000-05:00

Let me just warn you that this post will make barely any sense to anyone reading it so if you have gotten this far you are just as insane as me. So moving right along, what is with all this losing? If there is a football game, the Jets will make sure they lose it. I mean lets face it folks, this is worse than the Rich Kotite era.

And last year I started out not liking Eric Mangini. Then by the end of the year I thought he was a little genius. Now I am back to hating him again. I just don't get him. He has no emotion. Just like Eli Manning. If you lose, act like you are pissed. When you show no emotion you scare everyone.

The only bright spot is David Harris. This guy is one bad motherf*cker. He is all over the ball. Between him and Vilma, we are stacked for the next 5 years. But they are going to trade Vilma his year for no reason except the fact that we are the Jets and we haven't done anything completely retarded in awhile.

As for Brad Smith...in my opinion this guys should be the quarterback. I think he is a total spazz but something about him I like. He seems to have the smarts to be in the right spots. He just drops too many balls. But I say, let him be the QB for the rest of the season and see what he can do.

I like what the players are saying about Sean Taylor. He was a great player. But these young players get hooked up with these idiot hanger ons who cannot do anything with their lives except mooch off people like Taylor. This even makes me feel bad for Michael Vick because it reminds me of these jerkoffs that only care about mooching. Although, I still think Vick is a complete dick.

I am not sure what to say about Roger Clemmens except, you better start fucking winninng. But the way, I never used to swear on this blog. But Fakehead just brings it out in me. And it actually is very theraputic when taking about the Jets. At any rate, I am so sick of losing. I actually want to throw my Pennington jersey in the garbage.

Chad thinks he is a starter in the league. I am not sure if he is or not. I think his mind and body are. But his arm is very suspect. Just looking at Chad completely disheartens me. Because he was supposed to be our salvation. But of course he spends his whole time here injured.

And finally, if it were not for Fantasy Football I wouldn't even watch the NFL. Actually Fakehead got me into this league with all his lawyer buddies and I am kicking ass. I have won 7 games in a row and I already clinched a playoff spot. I have TO and Randy Moss as my receivers. Romo is my QB. I don't even need anyone else on the team. I don't see myself losing any more games.

At any rate, I guess this was not as random as I thought.

Trivia Question: Who is Fakehead's favorite character in the feature film "Two Girls, One Cup"?

Jets Shit the Bed Again and other stuff....

2007-11-26T11:41:00.000-05:00

Wow, it wasn't even close. 34 to fucking 3? 3 fucking points? Kellen was shit, 12 for 27 for 142 yards with an interception and really never got anything going offensively. The one thing I thought he did that was pretty cool was when he was trying to avoid a sack he got a pass with his left hand to throw the ball away (he is right handed). That was pretty impressive. He did get sacked 3 times and basically rushed a little too much for him to deal with. I don't know about Clemens yet, he needs to beat Miami or the Jets may have to waste another pick on a QB next year. (Although I think they should go with the kid from Arkansas, McFadden, if he is still around).

Regardless, the battle of the Jones' brothers was somewhat anti-climatic, with Dallas's Julius Jones rushing for 64 yards on 14 carries (26 yards receiving as well) and our boy Thomas Jones only having 40 yards on 17 carries. TJ has STILL not scored a touchdown and the Jets have played 12 fucking games. How is this even possible? (Yet I still have him on my FF roster).

The only bright spots were that Kerry Rhodes made a nice INT and Revis played pretty well (minus the one play) on TO. TO didn't know who Revis was, which was a dis but TO is TO, so the statement itself doesn't suprise me. After the game Revis spoke to TO and said the conversation went "well." Next time they play Revis is going to be at the point where TO is going to know he his when Revis gives TO a fucking concussion.

Regardless, I thought the 'Boys were going to spank the Jets and I was right. But deep down I thought they would put up a little bit of a fight, which they did for the first quarter or so. But you know its bad when your coach challenges a spot on a third-down play, hoping to trim a yard or two off fourth and three. (The challenge was unsuccessful, by the way). The second half was a complete disaster, as the Jets didn't get a first down until there were 5 minutes 19 seconds left in the game. Awful.

All I can say is that the Miami Dolphins are frothing at the mouth hoping they avoid a "defeated" season when they play the Jets next week. Show us something Clemens!

Go Jets!

OTHER STUFF....

1. Did you guys know the Jets Cheerleaders are called "The Flight Crew". They are sort of hot, but it is hard to tell from this photo.

Maybe we should blame them for the Jets sucking so bad. I think during home games you can get a photo with them in the Bubble. At least before the Steelers game people could, and I have to tell you, there were more fucking Steelers fans than Jets fans getting pictures. Fucking ridiculous. I'm so glad the Steelers lost, but what the fuck? It's no wonder the fans were waving their gay "Terrible Towels" during that game, there were thousands of Steeler fans at the game. Shame on those Jets fans who sold their tickets to Steelers fans.

Anyway, I think the Cowboys cheerleaders could kick the Flight Crew's ass in a "Hot Piece of Ass" matchup as well. Here's one of them:

She is pretty easy on the eyes. However, it should be noted that the Cowboys' Cheerleaders have been doing this for a while and are pretty much the New England Patriots of NFL Cheerleaders.

Anyhoo, back to business...

2. Eli Manning is awful.

Honestly, he should have just stayed on the ground and starting crying. They should have carted him off the field for being a pussy lame-ass loser. How about these stats: 21 for 49 for 273 yards with 1 TD and 4 INTs, with three of those INTs run back for Minnesota TDs! Granted, it's not completely Eli's fault that 3 of his INTs were run back for scores, but it is pretty fucking pathetic.

This is a game the G-Men should have won, and they completely shit the bed. And they got slaughtered too, 41-17. (I wish I had MN's Defense on my FF team). It was just a disaster across the board. They have 8 million running backs, and all the good ones were hurt. Fucking Eli can't win a game if his life depended on it, their defense let Tavaris Jackson beat them (10 of 12 for 129 yards and a TD and 38 yards rushing on 5 carries) and did I forget to mention that the Vikings were 4-6 coming into the game? How can the Giants beat the Lions one week and look like a fucking Pop Warner team the next week?

Eli continues to disappoint, and I know Figs is going to defend him (again) but come on!!!! Eli's no Peyton, and he is not even close to catching up to his big brother. Speaking of Peyton, I like that guy more and more. He's a funny mother fucker with all those commercials, and he won his ring, so he can just chill out now.

Anyway, the GMen better step up against the Bears next week. I think they will most likely make the playoffs, but don't expect them to make it past the first round. (That being said, it is a hell of a lot better than the Jets are going to do, fucking Jets).

3. The fucking Pats won again. I didn't think the Eagles were going to make a game of it, but they did, with JO Feeley no less. If the Eagles had a good quarterback maybe they would have won. Fucking AJ just wanted to throw the ball to the Patriots last night, that stupid fuck. Fucking Tom Brady. I hope teams learned something last night and blitz the shit out of Brady and then maybe somebody will beat those fucks.

4. You who else blows, Keith Oberman. This jerkoff has his "Worst Person in the NFL" and I'm assuming he has the same stick on his "Countdown" show, and yesterday he blasted the K for Denver for kicking to Devin Hester. Maybe Oberman's right, but where does he come off saying somebody the "worst" in anything? This fucking jerkoff used to be on "Sports Center" and now he considers himself a real "journalist". Hey Keith, a real journalist writes articles for newspapers like the NY Times or the Washington Post, you fucking sit on a panel with Chris Collinsworth and talk about football once a week. Chris Collinsworth is one of the biggest tools in this world. I rank Collinsworth in the top 5 tools of the world, and that includes the leaders of Iran, North Korea and Venezuela. He is right up there. My ranking may go something like this:

1. Osoma Bin Laden
2. Leader of North Korea
3. Leader of Venezuela
4. Chris Collinsworth
5. Leader of Iran

Regardless, Oberman neglected the fact that there are 11 people on the field during a kick and everyone has the same job, tackling the fucking guy with the football. The guy with the least responsibility is the kicker, because he is the pussy of the group.

5. We played our annual Thanksgiving Football game and it was a lot of fun. We ended up playing against a bunch of in-shape younger guys who didn't have cleats, so we managed to beat them for a while until they just used their best player to run for a TD every time he touched the ball. The fucker was impossible to tackle. They ended up winning 13 TDs to 10TDs or something. I am still sore.

Regardless, Unruly threw the football like a champion, hitting almost all of his targets and not throwing any interceptions. It was the best I have seen him throw in years, and even though two years ago many in the MFL were calling for his retirement at the QB position, he stuck it out like Brett Farve and he proved the critics wrong just like Farve did. Way to go Unruly. I hope you bring it Christmas time when you are battling Figs. (We better fucking play). By the way, I can honestly say that the Mendham field BLEW and that we are going to have to move the game back to Florham Park where it is level and straight. We'll discuss that at another time, but I see a good game on Christmas Eve morning developing, me, Unruly, Figs, the cousins and nephews, Rupert, the Jew, McMahon, etc.

FINALLY, GO JETS! KICK THE DOLPHINS' ASS THIS WEEK!!!!!!!

Fucking Scumbag Jets Fans are going to ruin it for the rest of us drunks...

2007-11-21T16:49:00.000-05:00

Here we go again... First they boo Chad Pennington's injury, now they harass women to take their tops off. Fucking jerkoff Jets' fans.

According to the fuckcocks over at the New York Times (who, like Rolling Stone magazine, is the most liberal piece of garbage ever to be printed on paper) at every halftime at Gate D the fans stand on the causeway and harass women to take off their tops and when they don't they harass them and throw shit at them.

Security, according to the New York Times, does nothing about it. The police also ignore it, according to the Times. And when some snot-nosed jerkoff reporter asked a security guard about it, they questioned him and seized his pussy little recorder. That to me is funny, because fuck the New York Times and their homo reporters. What is not funny, however, is that these stupid mother fuckers have to hang out and harass people.

Here is the problem, which these stupid cunt motherfuckers don't realize. Now that the Times has written an article about this shit, the Jets are going to do something about it. Hey, here is a possible solution, STOP SERVING BOOZE AT GAMES. That way the stupid cunts don't get drunk and yell and throw shit. Will that solve the problem? Fuck no. But they will do it. That will ruin it for people like me and my other buddies who like to have a few drinks like gentlemen while cheering the Jets on. Instead, we'll have to be sober and watch them get their asses kicked. It's not fair and it's not right. But these stupid fuckers who can't handle their booze will try their hardest to ruin it for everybody.

My question is to these people, What the fuck is wrong with you? Yes, there is no question that tits, football and beer are a great combination, but you know what, you don't go to fucking Jets games to see tits or pussy, you go to watch your favorite team and cheer them on. A large percentage of these stupid fucking fans take it upon themselves to curse, harass people and act like stupid cunts the whole game, thus ruining it for the families and normal fans around their seats. It's a joke and it's pathetic. I can't even think about bringing my kid to a Jets game until he is old enough to fucking at least vote. The shit the fans say, the fights, the drunkenness, it is appalling and I've had enough. It's bad enough our team is bad, but now certain fans are making the fans look bad too? Guess what, if you want to see tits at a football game, bring a fucking porno magazine with you you stupid fucks! Or print this photo out and carry it in your pocket you cocksmoking loser!!!!!

Give me a fucking break!!!!! I think I am an elitist, because I really consider myself better than a TON of people. Stupid, unrefined fuckheads with no class whatsoever make me sick to my stomach. These are the type of people that play softball in a beer league and are part of a bowling/dart, etc. team and or are members of a lake community. Fucking losers, all of them, no matter how hard they try to act like a civilized member of society. The world would be better off if they were all murdered. Jail is too good for them and it wouldn't help. And their stupid fucking kids usually grow up to be just like them, pieces of shit. Put them out of their misery and poison their Schaffer's Beer.

With that, I end this portion of the post by sending out a few "fuck yous"

First, fuck the Jets fans who can't control themselves at Jets games and ruin it for the other REAL fans.

Second, fuck the New York Times for being such a pain in the ass. Stick to harassing Republican politicians and leave the Jets alone.

Finally, fuck people who are members of lake communities.

OTHER SHIT...

Oh yeah, the Jets are playing on Thanksgiving. Well, I plan on being intoxicated that day so I won't feel so bad when the Cowboys score at least 35 points against them. That's not to say the Jets won't score some points and make it close (which I will take at this point) but I don't think the Jets can keep up with the Cowboy's offense. I hope they do, but I'm not optimistic.

Either way, GO JETS!

Tomorrow Unruly will host the 15th annual Turkey Bowl game, this time in Mendham, NJ. It should be a great turnout and I have to hand it to Unruly for putting it all together. I can't wait to play and it should be fun. Unfortunately, I am out of shape and I'm going to be sore for a fucking week after I hit the ground once. Apparently Figgy is playing the same type of game in Denver at the same time (in a different time zone of course).

The Giants play Minnesota and I think they should win this one, especially because AP is out. We'll see.

Finally, I hope all of you have a good Thanksgiving, except if you are one of the fuckheads I mentioned above or you work at the New York Times, if so go fuck yourselves and choke on a turkey bone. (And of course I'm only kidding about 67% of the people who are in lake communities)

It's a fucking miracle, I was right for once! Go Jets!

2007-11-19T12:04:00.000-05:00

Well, my pseudo-prediction came to fruition last night, as the Jets dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers 19-16 in overtime. Clemens (14 for 31 162 1 TD, 1 INT) fucked up several times but in the end he did his job and led the team down the field to set up a FG to put the game into OT. And then in OT after the Jets D stopped the Steelers on a 3 and out L Wash gave the Jetropolitans great field position with a great punt return to set up the winning field goal, which Ted Nugent actually made. Yeah!!!!!

Thomas Jones was solid as usual, yet he couldn't get into the fucking endzone yet again. He hasn't scored since he was a Bear. Regardless, he ran for 117 yards on a defense that only lets up 72 yards or so every game. And the Steelers hadn't allowed a 100 yard rusher since 2000 fucking 5! Great job OLine and Mr. Jones!

The defense, WOW! It was like they were a different team! 7 fucking sacks! I think Ben Rothensburger or whatever the fuck his name was like Butch Cassidy and kept asking his linemen, "Who are those guys?" They held Willie Parker to 52 yards and made some key stops during the game.

The fact that the Jets couldn't get more than a few field goals despite being inside the 10 yard line 4 times (they did score 1 TD) doesn't bode well for next week, when they play the 9-1 Cowboys, but at least they won this week.

To be honest, I'd like to think that Curtis' presence at the game had something to do with this victory. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it was the bye week. Or maybe it was just the fact that they are sick of losing. Either way, they need to carry this feeling with them. They will be the underdog for the rest of the season save one game (the Dolphins) and they have a chance to at least be a spoiler and win some games. To that end, I hope they kick some ass and take some names.

Go Jets!!!!!!

OTHER FUCKED UP AND RANDOM STUFF

1. "Terrible Towels" at a Jets game? It's true. Chris Baker said he took it personally and I hope that those fuckers waving them got dosed with beer after the Steelers lost. Fuck them.

2. Chad Pennington was cheering like a motherfucker on the sidelines. He is a gentleman and a scholar and he yet again shows why he is a class act and a team player. I hope he is quarterbacking the Falcons or Minnesota next year.

3. Can Brad Smith please catch important throws? The fucking guy probably keeps telling Mangina that he is a quarterback and Mangines won't listen. But he isn't making that great of a WR. Pretty pathetic bunch yesterday after Coles got injured (again).

4. I fucking hate fantasy football and I'm letting it affect my rooting for the Jets. When Chris Baker scored yesterday I was pissed it wasn't Cotchery. What the fuck is wrong with me? Fantasy football has ruined my life. Fucking fantasy football. Speaking of which, Unruly's team set the record for scoring this week, he has Owens, Romo and Moss, and they kicked ass.

5. The Giants beat the Lions. It was a good victory for them and I'm so proud of Eli Manning. He is the best quarterback in the world and if I had a choice between Eli and almost anyone else at QB I would want Eli, because he never makes mistakes and should be exempt from any criticism whatsoever. Go Eli, you are my hero. NOT. Fuck him and the Giants. How many times were the fucking Lions in a position to win the game? They fucking suck, and Kinta should change his name to Cunta. It's easier to spell and pronounce anyway. Although I have to say, the refs made some awful calls against the Giants in that game, so that was bullshit.

6. I watched a little bit of the Pats/Bills game last night, and I have to say that Tom Brady is one of the best QBs I have ever seen play in my life. The guy is poised, has a great arm and finds the open receiver. Of course, he has all day and he's got Randy Moss, but still. He is as calm as a motherfucker, even when the pocket is collapsing. I'm not saying Peyton isn't great too, but I mean, Brady is fucking good.

7. I had a dream that I drove my car off a bridge that was out last night. I drove off the bridge and the car flipped and landed in the water and then I was in like slow motion trying to open the door, which wouldn't budge. I think you need to be opening your windows when your car is going over the bridge, or else the pressure won't let you open the door or window once you are submerged. Needless to say, it wasn't the kind of "wet dream" I like to have. ha ha ha ha

8. I wish I was my own boss. Then I would open up my own office and hire a hot slutty secretary. Don't ask me what kind of business I would run, that requires too much thought. I would leave the business ideas to my slutty director of operations.

9. Does anyone actually believe anything political candidates say? Honestly, I don't believe a word out of their stupid lying mouths. I mean, George Bush never came out and said that he was going to get the ball rolling for WW III and have everyone in the world hate us, but Goddamn he came through on that plan. Imagine if that was his platform? "America, I promise you your sons and daughters will shed their blood on the soil of Iraq even though we won't steal the oil there so it will be all for naught" and so on. I think he would have still won because Kerry was such a pussy it didn't matter. Anyway, all of it is such bullshit and rhetoric it makes me ill. That being said, at least we have the opportunity to vote for our leaders so that's good. One side note, since when is torture such a bad thing? Shit, they are only suspected terrorists, who cares? If it's good enough for Jack Bauer than it's good enough for me.

10. Speaking of Jack Bauer, this writer's strike is getting really annoying. All these fucking losers picketing and crying because they don't get money for this or that, fuck them. Just keep entertaining me and shut the fuck up. I don't care if you don't 5 cents every time some idiot downloads the Office onto their computer. Just keep writing and do your job monkeys. Honestly, if not then I will volunteer to be a scab writer. I'm telling you right now, I would have more main characters killed off on every show faster than the shows would be produced.

Some of my brilliant ideas if I were a scab:

In Heroes, I would have that Jap get killed in the Hiroshima nuclear blast, (isn't he traveling through time or something, I don't know because I would rather watch a fucking baby being born on TLC, that's how much I can't stand Heroes).

I would produce a Charlie Brown special where he shoots himself in his bald head and Snoopy discovers his body. Further investigation would reveal the decaying corpse of Lucy, whom Charlie raped and murdered earlier in the week. Linus would get stabbed and strangled with his own blanket to death in the Pumpkin Patch by an unknown assailant while waiting for the "Great Pumpkin" (later to be revealed as Sally). Peppermint Patty would come out of the closet by making the moves on the other little girl she hangs with (don't know her name) and would later hang herself when the children make fun of her for being gay. The girl with the natural curly red hair turn out to be a porn star and eventually would be managed by the kid who plays the piano.

MTV - I would turn every single reality show into a version of this show called, "Last Person Standing" Basically, every show on MTV would be the same, but instead of the losers in the competition being voted off or dismissed by the woman/man who is the prize, those people would be murdered, on camera, for the world to see. Eventually everyone gets killed until there is one person left. That person would have the option to kill themselves or take the prize money. Hopefully they do the latter. For the "Real World" series, I would create a show whose prize is to walk into the Real World home with an uzi or a Tech 9 (or shit, maybe even just a Desert Eagle or something) and try to take out as many of the characters as possible. "Real World" would air first at 8:00, followed by "I want to be the next Real World Mass Murderer" at 8:30. Anyone would half a brain would love it, because you have a reason to hate the stupid fucks on Real World and by the time the Mass Murderer show came on you would be excited to see who would get the chance to kill all of the Real World idiots.

In fact, this idea would be expanded on for every single reality show in America, from American Idol to Survivor. The premise works on almost every show, it would be instant ratings. Speaking of American Idol, for all the people who know they can't sing and just want to be on TV, they would all be lined up and shot like it was Nazi Germany in the 1940s or shit, Russia during Stalin or whenever people were mass executed. All these people "need killin'" and there are too many people in the world anyway. In the end, it would hopefully achieve what I've always wanted, the end of reality TV. In my version of reality TV, "The Simpson (Jessica and Nick)" would have never ended in a divorce, it would have ended with Nick cutting Jessica's father's head off then putting a screwdriver in the back of Ashley's head (Goodfellas style) and Jessica shooting Nick in the balls at the end. It would have been the first billion-dollar making show.

Fuck Reality TV, this writing strike is going to just make the Network execs want to put more of this shit on, much to dismay. The only good thing is that reality shows need good writing too, and trust me, if you think reality TV is real you need to get your head examined, because it's bullshit. (You think "Surviorman" is real? Kill yourself or try to do what he does without a camera crew and a stash of food and water, the result will be same). So who knows. All I know is that I want new Offices, 30 Rocks, 24s and Shields. Stop crying writers or else you will just be replaced by insane bloggers and reality tv hacks!

GOOOOOO JETS!!!!!!!!

Oh, since I am going to hell for this post (along with a million other reasons) I have decided to turn my office "green" by buying a recycling receptacle. That's right, my office doesn't recycle, and I'm going to change that. I should be awarded the "Environmentalist of the Week" award. Unruly, think you can write an article about me in the Mendham Observer Bee and how great I am? Thanks.

Finally, I have to repost this picture I found from Unruly's yearbook. He really looks awesome in it and it still makes me laugh.

Yo, Fuckheads, the Jets are playing this Sunday!

2007-11-16T14:16:00.000-05:00

I smell an upset! Why? Why the fuck not? The Steelers aren't that fucking great. Their QB, Ben Rothenscunter or whatever the fuck his name is, is overrated and plays not to lose (except that one game where he had 5TD passes or whatever, but look at his performance in the Super Bowl, they won IN SPITE of him).

The biggest problem the Jets are going to have on Sunday is making sure Chad Pennington doesn't get into the game. What I'm saying is, they need to protect Kellen and let him throw the fucking ball!!!!! 6 or 7 sacks will spell disaster for the Jets. Running the ball is going to be tough, but the Jets don't believe in running the ball this year anyway, that is probably why they only signed a running back for fucking 20 million or whatever.

Regardless, the Jets have a shot on Sunday, believe me. It's going to be a close game and who knows, maybe after the break the Jets have a new lease on life and will play better. Fuck, they have nothing to lose except the top pick in the draft. And any player or team that plays for a draft pick should fucking quit the NFL today. That is bullshit, pussy-ass faggotry at its most pathetic. PLAY TO WIN!!! Fuck draft picks, they are playing for self-respect at this point.

You know else they should win? Because at half-time they are honoring arguably one of the best Jets ever, Curtis Martin. The guy was awesome, and a class act on and off the field. I have nothing but respect for guy, even though he used to be a Patriot. Curtis, you rock!

Look at his guy's fire! Let's see some of that from the current players!

Let's Go Jets!

OTHER SHIT

1. A-Rod is staying with the Yankees?! I'm pretty surprised this happened, but hey, I give AJob some credit. Good for him. Interestingly, Gay Jeter is in some trouble because he said he lived in Florida from 2001-2003 to allegedly avoid NYC taxes. Guess he's not perfect after all. And he has to deal with ARod for 10 more years, clearly a better player than he.

2. Barry Lamar Bonds got indicted. Who the fuck cares? Nobody likes him, ARod will break the HR record, he is just going to be another chump. He is a miserable bastard and he took steriods, big fucking deal. Not for nothing, steroids don't make you a good hitter. They may make you stonger and last longer (although he is probably falling apart now) but they can't make your hand-eye coordination improve. Whatever.

3. Vinny "Old Bastard" Testaverde is starting again this week. I pray that one day I will be as in shape as that mother fucker is at his age. What is he, fucking 48 years old? I'd like to see Joe Namath come out of the Jets in the final game of the season. At that point they could have nothing to lose.

4. The fucking cleaning people in my office only come once every two weeks. I have two small garbage cans (one is a Mets garbage can) and they are full of fucking garbage. It's like NYC when the garbage haulers go on strike, there is just shit everywhere. Newspapers, soup containers, sandwich wrappers, it's fucking disgusting. I have am starting to enjoy it at this point. I am going to buy plastic rats and put them around the office to see if bothers anyone. Every garbage is jam packed. This place is a fucking disaster. Fucking cleaning people, those fucks.

5. I hate fantasy football. It ruins football for me and I vow never to play it again after this year. It's too stressful.

6. Paterson, NJ is a shithole. Dont' go there unless you want to buy crack. It's so annoying, the citizens just walk in front of your car, there are a million streetlights and construction everywhere. If you have a choice of taking your own life or driving into downtown Paterson, think about what you to lose with both options. It may be easier to blow your brains out.

7. I hate the Patriots so much it makes my blood boil. I think that in 10 years a good movie would be called, "We are the Patriots" staring Matthew Fox as Tom Brady and the dead guy Jack Palance as Bill Bellicunt. Seriously, they could just dig up the body and use strings to make his mouth move. Palance's corpse would be more believable than a living Bellicunt.

8. The Giants came back down to earth last week and proved everything I have been saying about Eli Manning since he was in college. He fucked up on those game delay penalties, he can see the fucking clock and he can't call time out or run a play? He thinks he is Peyton pointing and yelling and shit, somebody should say, "Hey, fuckstick, you want to call a play or sit here and cry about a roving DB all day?" Some leader. Next. The GMen play the Lions this week, and if they lose they are going to be awful the rest of the year. If they win (and it would be a good victory against an upstart Lions squad) then they will have proven something to me a little bit at least.

9. I have been having a recurring dream of getting attacked by zombies. I fucking hope zombies don't rise from the dead and go looking for human flesh. It would suck. The logistics of it all would be a nightmare, I live near a cemetary and if it's anything like "Dawn of the Dead 2007" then at least I have a short drive to a mall. I don't know which mall would be better to hang out in, the Livingston or Short Hills. I think the food selection is more diverse at Livingston, and I fucking hate that shithole restaurant in the Short Hills Mall, "American Joes" It should be callled, "The Worst Restaurant in the World" because it is.

Anyway, I'm thinking I need to buy a gun in case zombies do rise from the dead. But at the same time I probably shouldn't put that on my "Reason for Buying Gun: ________" part of the application. It could raise some flags.

10. Seriously, the Jets might win this week. Have some fucking faith for once, you miserable fucks!

GO JETS!

At least they can't lose next week...

2007-11-05T11:51:00.000-05:00

Holy shit. The Jets suck. I though they had that game in the bag, up 17-3, their offense was moving the ball, their defense was stopping the 'Skins when it had to, and then it all started to fall apart and that stupid kicker on the Redskins made kick after kick after kick and BAM! It's over. Portis had the best game of his season (not hard to do against Jets' defense) and the Jets' offense was plagued by a huge fumble and several dropped passes. It's a fucking shame.

Clemens was decent, 23 of 42 for 226 yards with 1 TD and no INTs. He also ran the ball very well (7 for 48 yards) which impressed me. He has way more mobility than Chad, along with a better arm, so there is hope to found. Thomas Jones was useless, (13 for 49), again, aren't they supposed to run when they have a lead?

A definite ray of light, David Fucking Harris, or the "H-Bomb" as I like to call him. (Nickname trademarked). I hope that nickname doesn't offend or affront any of this blog's Japanese readers! (right...)

The fucking guy had 24 tackles yesterday (20 solo) and has 41 tackles and 1 sack in two games. Not too shabby. It's just too bad nobody else could make a play on defense. I mean, the Jets made Jason Campbell look decent, which is pathetic. Not to mention fucking Portis, that jerkoff. Oh, and the Jets need to release Andre Dyson, he is FUCKING AWFUL. Portis destroyed him all game and he runs away from a ball carrier, not towards them. "Oh, you can get the first down and I'll try to push you out of bounds like a pussy" is his motto. Sit him down, there has to be somebody with more heart on the bench to replace him.

Like I said, the Jets won't lose this week, thank God, and when they come back from their "bye" week they have to face the Steelers, who are having a pretty good year. Great.

OTHER CRAP...

1. I wish I had Adrian Peterson on my fantasy football team, the guy breaks the single-season rushing record with 296 yards and already has over 1000 for the season. Good for him.

2. Figs owes me 20 bucks since the Colts shit the fucking bed against the Patricunts. I cannot believe they lost that fucking game! They were up by 10 in the fucking fourth quarter and they lose? Pathetic. And there is Tom Brady, headbutting his fucking lineman like he is a tough guy. Can somebody please decapitate that fucking guy? I'll be the first to admit I am jealous of Brady, he is good looking, awesome at football and is dating a huge piece of ass. (At least I get to see my son though, so I am a better father than him - yet given the chance he would probably out-father me as well). But now, he has gone from "aww shucks" to "I am the fucking man, nobody can fuck with me and my boys!" and it makes me sick to my fucking stomach. I don't want the guy to get killed or paralyzed but how about a shoulder injury to put him out for the season? I would say kill Bill Bellicunt but I think he is already dead. Guy probably sleeps in a coffin under Gillette Stadium. Fuck him, and the Colts blow.

3. College Football nonsense - Notre Dame really blows, how is that possible? ... Speaking of blows, Rutgers lost to Connecticut, which is retarded. What is more retarded is that Connecticut is going to win the Big Least this year. ... I hope Oregon wins the National Championship this year, I can't stand Ohio State, but if Oregon loses, they should be forced to change that fucked up get-up they call a uniform to something less heinous. .... Boston College is lamer than the fucking Colts, Florida State blows and they can't even beat them. I'm sick of fucking teams dropping the ball when they are faced with pressure.

4. Brian Williams hosted SNL this week. I didn't see it, but can anyone think of somebody less funny to host? Next week I heard they have Pervez Musharraf, should be hilarious.

5. Hot or Not? Since people were tired of "funny" girls, this weeks' stinkbox is a certified actress, none other than Kate Mara, the daughter of the Wellington Mara (or some sort of relation there) former owner of the Giants. You may remember her from such movies as "Shooter", "We are Marshall" and "Brokeback Mountain". She was also in a few episodes of "24" last year, as one of the CTU busy bees.

I like the underwear/shotgun shot, it really demonstrates her acting skills. Regardless, she's hot.

Go Jets!

Let the Clemens era begin... (it's too bad he has such a shitty last name though).

2007-11-01T10:53:00.000-04:00

Don't look so glum Kellen, the Pennington Era has ended. The woeful Jets will try out their "boy" Clemens and see what he is made of for what I'm assuming is the rest of the season. I don't know if he can save this awful team (ranked 30th in the NFL in offense and 29th in defense) but it's worth a shot.

There is no getting around the fact that Clemens has the worst last name in sports, the obvious reason is that fuckstick Rodger Clemens shares it with him. I still wish Mike Piazza would challenge Clemens or his meathead son to a "Battle Royale" steel cage match battle to the death or something, but Piazza is a CA boy now and has probably turned into a pussy.

That aside, Clemens hasn't had many opportunities, but besides the alleged comeback against the Ravens he hasn't been that great. His QB rating is a paltry 46.0, he has completed less than 50% of his passes (29 of 59) for 362 yards and only has 1 TD against 4 INTS. Granted, one of the INTs was a Hail Mary so that one doesn't count. He also could be missing Mr. Coles, who had the shit knocked out of him last week while making his only catch of the game. In Coles' place would be the 2.4 million-dollar-a-year-making-4-catches-for-49-yards-dropped-two-passes-that-could-have-tied-the-Ravens-game Justin McCariens. What a waste of fucking money. Halfway through the season, the guy has 49 yards receiving and makes 2.4 mil? I wish I could play football (that would first require me to wish I was a foot taller, unfortunately only about 40 pounds heavier, (but all my existing fat turned into muscle) and fast. I do have good hands though. (That's what she said). Regardless, I hope McCariens can redeem himself should he get the start, because apparently Clemens and him have some sort of gay connection from their work together in the off-season and training camp.

Anyway, the Jets play the 'Skins this week in Washington. The Redskins are 4-3 but they just got their asses handed to them by the Patriots. The 38-14 drubbing the Pats gave the Jets looked close compared to the trouncing the Redskins received. Speaking of which, I'm surprised the Redskins haven't gone all PC (especially in that town) and turned into girls and changed their names. Here are some suggestions if they do become lame and give in to an ever-dwindling Native American population (most of whom is too drunk to notice anyway):

The Washington Blowhards (salute to the politicians living there)

The Washington Faggots (because they gave in to the Injuns, but that could bother a certain segment of the population as well).

The Washington Little Girls (nicer way to explain their giving in to PC nonsense)

As far as the game goes, there is no reason why Washington should lose. By the way, Pete Kendall is quietly rejoicing in the fact that he got the fuck out of NY, but not giving the Jets any locker room material with his comments. That being said, I think the Jets have a chance this week. Kellen will be all hyped up, Thomas Jones is fucking good if the Jets ever decide to use him correctly, and Harris could lead the defense even better than he did last week. Let's face it, the Jets could have won the last two weeks but just shit the bed. The Redskins aren't that fucking good to begin with, so I think the old Jetropolitans have a chance in this one. The QB for the 'Skins is awful and their two main WRs (Randle-El and Moss) don't even have any TDs. Portis is Portis, he can be shut down and he defended having dog fights, so fuck him. The Redskins are a couple of lucky breaks away from being 2-5. They can't live on luck forever and the Jets luck has to change for the better sooner or later.

We'll see what happens, but I think the Jets have a chance.

OTHER SHIT...

1. The kicker for San Fransico got fined $7,500 for giving fans the finger last week in San Fran. Joe Nedney should be commended for flipping off the fans. Let the poor guy get out some frustration, because kicking is a thankless job. Either way you considered a pussy, you are expected to make everything and when you miss everyone hates you. Kickers aren't getting laid like QBs, even if they score more points than the QB. Do you really think some chic is going to latch on to a fucking kicker if they can bang the RB or QB? The only way a lady (term used loosely) wants to hang with a kicker is if: 1. He is roomates with Tom Brady or 2. Everyone else is passed out or left the bar already. Seriously, how good is the pick-up line "I kicked the winning field goal today." When the QB is saying, "Yeah, I led the team down the field so my faggy field kicker could do his job and not lose the game I won." Imagine this one, "I haven't missed an extra point in 35 attempts this year." Or "I was 24 out of 31 in field goals last year and 3 for 3 over 50 yards!" Whoa!!!!!!!!!! The only chic who will dig that type of shit must own a fantasy football team.

Regardless, I think players should be able to do something when they suck and they get abused by the fans, because the fans are doing a lot worse to them. Throwing beers, snowballs, racial epitaphs, swears, etc. at them when they can't do anything? That's kind of lame. And I bet $7500 is a lot to a kicker, right? What Nedney should have done is said "Fuck your mothers" or something like that, where they can't get a photo of him doing it or read his lips too well. Lastly, it is kind of funny when fans throw beers on players. When Chad Johnson did the "Lambeau leap" instead of embracing Johnson like most of his seatmates did, one dude poured his Budwiser on him. Fucking hilarious. And trust me, beers at NFL games are fucking expensive, so it was probably a gut reaction or natural instinct kicking in. Good for that guy.

2. Lions QB Jon Kitna is getting his balls busted for wearing a Halloween costume. He wore a "naked guy" costume and apparently it has pissed some people off because one of the Detroit coaches was caught driving around naked.
His wife was a fast-food employee or something. Kitna apologized, but come on, he didn't need to, it is fucking funny!!!!!! It's even funnier that one of the coaches got picked up for driving around naked. First, that coach is a shithead and possibly a kiddie-toucher. Second, maybe Kitna didn't like the coach and was like, "Ya Burnt!" It's not like a coach had cancer and Kitna wore a bald piece on his head to make fun of that coach's chemo treatments, come on!

Either way, I don't like Kitna because the guy hasn't won an important game his entire career, but he is adequate so he will continue to get starting gigs wherever he goes. Fuck him as a player, but good for him as a human. As for his wife, she looks like fucking Sarah Jessica Parker. That would have been a better costume for that stinkbox. I would say he should do better, but he's only Jon Kitna, he doesn't even know how to spell John. (Or at least his parents didn't).

3. Rutgers plays Connecticut this weekend. I think the Huskies are going to kick the Knights' ass. Will Connecticut do much the rest of the season? I doubt it. They are a joke too.

4. Finally, "Hot or Not II"

Her name is Kristin Wiig:

This chic works on Saturday Night Live and was in the movie "Knocked Up" where she was pretty funny. She is going to play at least one of the main character's wives in the soon-to-be released Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and that looks funny. So, she is pretty funny and doesn't have any major facial scars, but is she "hot?" I don't know how smart she is, I don't think she went to Harvard or anything like that, but then again, she could probably get in now, with or without a high school degree. That's the thing about Harvard, they let in anyone who is famous, those fucking cunts. I hate Harvard and my kids will never be allowed to go there on principal alone. (Even if they get their mother's brains and have a chance to get in). Are you telling me that fucking Claire Danes and the lead singer from Weezer are smart enough to get into fucking Harvard? Please!!!!!!!! What a fucking joke. In fact, if I ever become famous, I will fucking go to Harvard and get a Masters' in "Fuck-around-ology" which is what I'm sure the two aforementioned fuckheads got their degree in. Harvard, Ya Burnt!

I think Wiig's okay, but the way, but she needs a new last name.

On a side note, my pumpkin had this indentation or scratch on it, so when I carved it I called it a Tina Fey O'Latern. (See the prior post for an explanation). Needless to say, it was a little hot.

GO JETS!!!!!!

I think I'm in the final stage of grief for the fucking Jets... (and other stuff)

2007-10-29T10:57:00.000-04:00

First of all, I want to say, on behalf of all Jets' fans, thanks to Chad Pennington. He will always be one of my favorite Jets because he has heart, grit and great leadership skills. His career with the Jets is likely over, and it's unfortunately time. Let's hope he mentors Clemens and Clemens learns a thing or two the last half of the season, because Chad will likely be gone after this year.

Now, as to the title of this particular post, I think I have finally overcome the five stages of grief as far as the Jets go. I was definitely in denial when the Jets played the Giants. I thought FOR SURE the Jets were going to win, up until the 4th quarter. I thought, "This can't be happening" as the Jets shit the bed and lost.

Then, when the Jets played the Eagles, I was in denial but it quickly turned to anger as they again shit the bed and lost a game they should have won. I complained that it was "not fair" and "why me", especially after the other team I loved, the New York Metropolitans, ripped my heart out and stomped on it after being in first place for 160 games of the season.

Then, with the Bengals, I started the bargaining process, "Just let the Jets win and I won't kill myself today." Ha ha, not that drastic, but I was just thinking if the Jets could beat the awful Bengals then the rest of the season could be at least okay with a few wins and Chad could show the rest of the world that he was still a starting quarterback in the NFL.

Finally, I went through the last two steps of grief, (depression and acceptance) yesterday. After Evans caught that ball that ended the game (although it was over once the Jets punted on their last real drive) I was depressed. I got more depressed when Clemens came out, although I was relieved in a way that it was finally over for Chad. Regardless, he looked depressed just standing there, like "Fucking A. I can't believe it's finally over." I saw him talking to my other favorite Jet, J. Vilma, who apparently wants out and the two were probably commiserating with one another. Then Chad was alone, just watching the game like any other back up player, and it was depressing. Finally, the game was over, and Clemens threw two interceptions and about three good passes, I finally accepted that yes, the Jets blow this year. Their season is over I hope they get some good defensive players in next year's draft. They may or may not win 2 games the rest of the season, maybe 3 if they are lucky. Vilma is going to be gone by the end of the year and I don't even understand what happened to him. Chad is done and will likely never start a meaningful game again (although I hope he does somewhere). Clemens is the future and he needs the rest of the season to have Chad mentor him and to get some experience.

Now that I have accepted that the Jets blow I feel better. There are still traces of depression but there's nothing anyone (including, apparently, the Jets' coaches) to stop the Jets from sucking this year. I hope Clemens can make it interesting. I am not looking forward to when the Jets play the Pats in December. I see the final score being 80-17, and I'm not kidding. No matter what, I'm still going to root for them, and it will be interesting to see how Clemens develops the rest of the season. Oh, and if Mangina doesn't start Clemens now, he needs to be fired, immediately. But you know what, it's going to be okay!

With all of that said, Go Jets!

OTHER RANTS....

1. Let's talk about the mother fucking Patriots. I fucking HATE them so much it makes my stomach cancer flare up. These cunts keep running up the score on teams like fucking Bobby Bowden used to do (when he had good teams) in college. 52-7? Bellicunt goes for it on 4th down when he is up 38-0 and 45-0? They keep passing the ball? And that fucking cunt Brady (who was wearing the gayest hat in the world at the post-game press conference and yes, I know his girlfriend probably bought it for him and I am jealous but still) can't even give the ball to his fucking running back but he has to hog all the glory and score two TDS himself? Not only is a jerkoff, but he is fucking killing my fantasy football team (I have Maloney or however you spell it and I lost to fucking Unruly - losing in FF almost hurts my heart as much as a Jets loss)!!!!!!! What the fuck!!!!!!!!! There is no reason to like the Pats. Their coach is a cheating tool, the quarterback is an absentee father, and they are too fucking good for their own good. I hope the following things happen:

1. The Simpson erase the episode Brady guest starred on forever and never release it on DVD.
2. Brady breaks his fucking leg in 20 places. (What ever happened to putting bounties on players? Why can't Mangina show some balls and put a bounty out on Brady, that would be the most awesome thing in the world!)
3. Bellicunt's sons or whatever offspring he has get another DWI and embarrasses him again.
4. Bellicunt gets hit in the head by an errant Peyton Manning pass (hopefully intentional) and he needs brain surgery and misses the rest of the season.

While I want all of that to happen, what is probably going to happen is that the Pats will go undefeated and win the fucking Super Bowl. The Colts have no chance next weekend, unless they score 65 points. Oh, the Simpons creators will never pass up on opportunity to make money, so forget about getting rid of episode of a DVD release. Shit, Brady will even commentate on that one.

2. England saw the worst football game of the year yesterday. Yeah, that is going to make them love American football, a 13-3 mudbowl with the shittiest team in the NFL and the most boring. Give me a break. Send the Bengals over there, with the gay crackhead, he would have riled up the crowd. There was no TD celebrations, (of course because boring Eli scored), no fun plays, nothing. It was as boring as a regular season baseball game between the Kansas City Royals and the fucking Pittsburgh Pirates. Who the fuck cares? Oh, and do the players have to keep complaining about the field and the long plane ride and the small hotel rooms. It's fucking Eurpoe! Get over it! No, it's not the same as the fucking Los Angeles Radisson, the room is smaller, and guess what the fucking food is a little bit different too. Jesus, you would think the game was being played in fucking Japan or some shit. It's England, you can at least understand everyone, right? Yeah, it's just like America, except most people have fucked up teeth! (Seriously though, they don't. There are a lot of hot chics in England). (If they were in Japan they would say, "Everyone is talking in this fucked up language and I can't understand what they are saying? Don't they speak American? NO! You shithead, you are in fucking Japan!) Regardless, if I were a Giants player I would have gone to the pubs and gotten hammered, especially after the game. There would have been an international incident. I also would have never cried about the time difference and how my schedule was fucked up. Waaa! Waaaaa! Why is Strahan in such a hurry to get back to America, all that he has to welcome him is an empty house, a cunt ex-wife, bills from lawyers, solicitations from dentists all over the world, and probably some cokehead strippers (okay, that's pretty cool).

3. The Red Sox won the World Series. Hey Figs, how was the walk back to your house from Rocky Stadium after that happened? I'm sure it was great (for a Boston fan). The Sox are the team to beat this century so far. With Gay-Rod opting out he'll probably play for them next year. I hope that cunt never wins a World Series.

4. Rutgers shits the bed again. I have no respect for them after the Navy booing, so fuck them and all those stupid fucks who paint themselves red to watch the games. The sight of the dejected look in their eyes after the third quarter (as they sat in the pouring rain, still their red paint glistening but never washing off) I laughed at their patheticness. This could have been their year too, oh well.

5. Do you think Tina Fey is hot?

I have been watching "30 Rock" and it definitely one of the best shows on TV. I can't figure out whether or not Tina Fey is hot. Let's face it, she has some crazy scar on her face and I don't know how it happened. She refuses to talk about it but said it happened during her childhood. Also, her ears are rather large and seem to be slanted or something. But, he is cute, she has her moments when she looks okay and she is smart and funny. So what do you think? I ask you, two readers of this blog, whether or not Fey is hot... I will say, "a little." However, she is a different kind of hot than Alexandria Ambroisia or however the fuck you say her name, because double-A is smoking hot, no matter what ridiculous get-up Victoria Secret makes her dress up in.

Time To Take Out the Patriots

2007-10-25T23:28:00.000-04:00

Is anyone else f%#&^* sick and tired of hearing the media whack off to the New England Patriots yet? It's week 8 and I can't take it anymore. Something needs to happen....

Defensive Ends, far and wide, heed this call: Take out Tom Brady. I'm saying make it a blatant late hit if you have to. Other DE's in the NFL will mail you money to cover the expense of your suspension and fine. I'm willing to send a hundred bucks right now, millions of others who want their teams NFL season to count for something will follow suit. You won't feel the slightest financial pinch, I assure you.

I'm talking, really take him out. Leonard-Marshall-on-Joe-Montana style in the 1990 NFC Championship Game between the New York Football Giants and the San Francisco 49'ers (aka The Greatest Game Ever Played). Flushed by an edge-rushing Lawrence Taylor, Cool Hand Joe stopped to rear back a pass, what he didn't know was that Leonard Marshall had fallen behind him and had gotten up and was ready to kill him.

KA-PLOW!!!! Marshall creamed him from the back, ball came out, Giants recovered and won the game. But the part I want to emphasize is that Marshall not only slammed Montana down and came down with all his force and weight, he bent Montana's throwing hand back on the way down.

Do I feel bad about recommending a dirty play? FUCK NO! That shit happens under every pile up in every game anyway. It's like the Spygate scandal. An unsavory and unspoken part of the game. Just look at this down here, tell me your Jet fan heart wouldn't be bursting with joy if you saw a crumpled Tom Brady lying broken just as Montana in this picture below:

And tell me every other team in the NFL wouldn't spontaneously rejoice all at once all across the country. I want to see Dwight Freeney striding away just like good old Lenny here. I am the biggest Colts fan in the world come next weekend. I want them to knock these smarmy Patriot motherfuckers out. I want their zombie fucking coach - Belichick- to choke on a pretzel just like Dubya. Only Belichick, I'm sure, probably has food tasters or just blends it all up in a blender and drinks his meals because it's 'more efficient'.

DOWN WITH THE PATS!!!!

Ok, back to business! Jets are going to win this week or else...

2007-10-25T11:22:00.000-04:00

I'm going to write another gay blog? Ha ha, no! I only did that because I lost a bet in my fantasy football league. I am losing too many bets this year in both the fantasy and real world, and it's starting to piss me off. Or maybe it's giving me stomach cancer, but more on that later.

The Jets are going to win this week against the shitty Bills. Why? Because they have to, and Chad is playing for his job every week. Frankly, I'm surprised they didn't bench him this week with the season practically over, but hey, I like watching Chad run the Jets offense so I don't have a problem with it. (Although if they lose again this week Mangina has to start Clemens, no question about it).

You know who I would like to see have a breakout game and actually SCORE A TOUCHDOWN?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, OUR MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR RUNNING BACK, THOMAS JONES! I mean, look at this fucking guy, he is huge! He has been running the ball pretty well when given the chance. I just don't understand why the Jets aren't using him more. He carried the ball 12 fucking times against Cincinnati, and they needed to run the ball in the second half in that game!

Regardless, Jonesy only got 35 yards against the Bills the first time out, so they better be looking to give him the ball more this time.

As for the defense, I prayed to God today that they would stop that little homo Trent Edwards and the rest of the Bills offense this Sunday. God sent down lightning bolts at me but amazingly missed, because Him and I don't agree on a lot of things. Like, for instance, He thinks I should be a good person, and I am fucking dickhead. He thinks marriage is sacred, and I have a thing for Tiauana whores. (Kidding!). Anyway, God won't answer my prayers, but maybe the Jets defensive players will. Let's face it, we're stuck with this 3-4 nonsense, and it works about as well as appeasement did prior to WW II. Regardless, the Jets have to do their best with it. It amazes me that the media is calling for Vilma's head, when he was a stud in the 4-3 defense. Yes, he's not built for the 3-4 and he's having problems, but the guy is still fucking good!!!! I don't want the Jets to get rid of him, because 1). I have his jersey, so does my son and 2). He's fucking good! (More No. 1 than No. 2, but whatever).

Anyway, I'm hoping the Jets win this week, and I'm not going to make any predictions, because they are always a load of shit and I just randomly pick numbers. I make predictions on Unruly's Iron Hills blog, because I don't care. But I just want the Jets to win, I don't give a shit what the score is.

Let's Go Jets!!!!!!!

OTHER NEWS...

In my personal opinion I think I have stomach cancer, or at least an ulcer. I'm going to the doctor today to see what's up. Regardless, all this thought of cancer has made me think of a brilliant new reality TV show called "Three Months". Basically, the premise is the "star" has three months to live, and cameras follow him around for those three months while he gets into adventures showing that everyone should live life to its fullest because you never know what can happen. At the end of the three months, the "star" of course dies. However, if he hangs on for longer his contract will contain a clause that he has to blow his brains out at the end of the three months. It's only fair. If the guy has 4 months to live they can call it "Four Months". Regardless, I think that in today's fucked up reality-obsessed times it would be a huge hit! I'm kind of hoping I have stomach cancer so I can be the first one on it. (Of course, I would have to forego treatment, but who wants treatment anyway, I'm not giving up boozing and eating red meat no matter what). It would just be me, my dog and my camera crew. I can see the promos now, "This week on 'Three Months', Brian visits the Bunny Ranch and goes bareback" Or "Tonight, on 'Three Months', Brian needs money and is forced to rob a Commerce Bank, will he spend the last three weeks of his life in a Texas jail?" This is gold. I hereby patent this idea!

Oh, and don't feel bad for me if I actually get stomach cancer, because 1). I probably deserve it after this post and 2). It's still funny if I get it and 3). I'll be rich of my TV idea and at least my family will be taken care of!

GOOOOOO JETS!!!!!!

Let's Get This Thing Right

2007-10-23T11:33:00.000-04:00

Okay Jets fans, the ship is listing, it's true. BUT WE ARE NOT SUNK YET.

Does anyone remember the 1999 New York Jets team, coached by your legend and mine- Bill Parcells? They started out 1-6, had the Bye in Week 8 and then won 7 of 9 to finish with a respectable 8-8. It wasn't respectable about the record itself, but they were one of the best teams in the league despite their record. NO ONE wanted to play them coming down the stretch because the Jets would put a serious dent in their playoff hopes. The Miami Dolphins that year lost to the Jets TWICE in four weeks. That New York Jet team had the attitude that it was going to the playoffs even though there was little hope.

Well, listening to Mangini's press conference after the Catastrophe in Cincy, he sounded like he was ready to fight somebody. The frustration is there because the Jets put together 2/3 a game and that other 1/3 remains elusive. Take this Cincy game, the Offense explodes! Special Teams does their jobs! Defense took the second half off.......

The Giants game. Defense scores a touchdown! Special Teams scores a TD on a 98-yard kickoff return! Offense dominates in the fist half! Then takes the second half off....

What I am saying is: the Jets show glimpses of that team last year. The losses are frustrating and they keep us from seeing any progress that might be made each game. I didn't think Chad could throw a ball 55 yards in the air, but he did it a Cincy on Sunday. Thomas Jones was starting slow, we thought maybe he doesn't have it any more, then he runs for 139 yards.

What we need is one week where all 4 quarters the Jets stay even keel and focused. Focus only on the job at hand, the next play.

Next, we acknowledge what isn't working. The Jets defense is a 4-3 and plays to the talents of their defensive players better that way. Vilma is a middle linebacker, not one of two middle linebackers in the 3-4. The D line is better with 4 guys than with 3, which frees up Vilma to use his smarts and speed to play like Ray Lewis. Revis is the real deal and Kerry Rhodes can lead the secondary. Mangini, organize who you have. not what you would ideally like them to do. The 3-4 is a better way to DISGUISE your defense, but guess what? 4-3 defensive teams win the Super Bowl too.

After that, focus only on running the football and stopping the run. I'll tell you where Chad can be super effective, -play action. You've got burner receivers in Coles and Cotchery.

Simple football. Forget the record, the playoff chase, the fucking bad karma Patriots. Win this week.

Tom Brady should have more bastard children (and by the way, the Jets blow...)

2007-10-22T11:15:00.000-04:00

Can you blame the guy for leaving Bridget Moynhan? I mean, he left her for this:

This woman is smoking. As much as I'd like to say that Brady has been affected by the fact that old Bridge is blowing him off and, according to stupid fucking entertainment reporters, not letting him see his son, Brady is like a robot and just playing football, bastard child or not. The guy threw 27 TDs in 7 fucking games. Six yesterday! It's insane. Maybe because he has this to look forward to after games:

Maybe that is why he is playing so well? I highly doubt she has a Annie Savoy/Ebby Calvin LaLoosh type of relationship with Brady that is leading him to play so well, it is most likely the opposite. She promises him gang bangs with models for every game he wins. Oh, and to you two morons who thought MIAMI was going to give the Pats problems, nice predictions! You are worse than me managing my fantasy football team! The Pats/Fins game was over in the first 10 minutes when it was 14-0. The Pats offense just cannot be stopped. Why? I have one answer:

The Pats are going to win the Super Bowl this year, write that shit down. It's happening. The Colts/Pats playoff game will be entertaining, but the Pats will roll (even if the Colts beat them in the regular season, who cares). Bellicunt apparently took offense to the fact that everyone in the world thinks he is a big, fat loser cheater, and he has something to prove. I'm sure it must be miserable to be one of his players, but they are responding to his tactics and they sure like to win. The only weakness I see is their defense, but when you score about 38 points a game (or more) who the fuck cares. They can stop other teams enough to win. On a side note, the NFC blows. They shouldn't even allow them to have a team in the Super Bowl this year.

As for the Jets, well, they fucking blow. Chad played pretty well all considered. Playing Clemens will not change anything. They need a defensive transplant, or a new coach that plays a fucking defense that allows it to use the weapons it has, (i.e., Vilma, Hobson, Robertson, etc.). The defensive scheme the Jets are using blows. Clemens can throw the ball harder, but does it matter when the other quarterback can fucking sit down in a lazyboy and do the New York Times crossword puzzle before he has to even think about throwing a pass? It's a fucking joke.

Honestly, I echo Unruly's statements, (minus the myriad of spelling errors) there isn't much to say or do at this point. Changing the QB may be an option, but this week it wasn't Chad's fault, unless they blame that interception in the 4th quarter with deciding the game (it didn't). Who knows?!

Anyhoo, the Giants won again, yeah for those fucks. Tom Coughlin is apparently more relaxed and actually jokes with players now. Maybe because what the fuck does he care, he is a lame-duck and has nothing to lose. I hope he does well and they re-sign him so he can turn into the old Coughlin next year and the Giants will suck again. I have to say, their defense did look pretty good for the most part, even old gappy-tooth man Strahan is getting a couple sacks here and there. That Osi guy is pretty fucking good too, but I digress, fuck them, they aren't going anywhere in the playoffs even if they win 12 games this year, which they won't.

The bottom line is that I'm losing a lot of money and pride on bets involving the Jets and Giants this year, and it's bullshit. Can't the Jets just win for me for fuck's sake? Don't I matter to them? ha ha ha

Speaking of bets, my next post is going to be about how I want to have gay sex with a Dallas Cowboy to be named later. Why, you ask? Well because I lost a bet when my fantasy football team got spanked this week. I of course thought for sure I was going to win, so it was very upsetting when I realized last night that my FF team shit the fucking bed and now I am going to look like an asshole. Oh well! Such is life. Serves me right for having confidence in a team that gets your hopes up every year and you think is going to do great and really should win, especially this week. I should know that it is pointless to root for teams because they just let you down, week after week. First the Mets, then the Jets, now my fucking cunty shitty fantasy football team. Motherfucker.

Wown wown (that is supposed to be a fading trumpet sound)

2007-10-22T06:20:00.000-04:00

Ok Jet fans, no reason not to be optimistic here. No need to make other plans on Sunday's. Don't give away your tickets. Stop cutting out eye holes in that paper bag.

Nope, just keep bending over because eventually it will hurt so bad it will feel good. And if you don't say, "thank you Mannenbaum, may I have another", it will keep hurting. So just go with the flow on this one.

Actually, I am not sure what to say, write or even do anymore regarding the Jets. I have been a Jets fan for 30 years now. I have been a Jet fan, longer that I have done anything else. Longer than I have been married. Longer than I went to school for. Longer than I had pubic hair.

So...what that hell do I do? I don't really have a salution. What is so frustrating is that you can't really blame Chad. The guy is the only thing we got going for us. But the fact that he doesn't have any velocity isn't helping.

I guess they should put in Clemmens only because, "why not?" But not for any other reason. Not because Chad is S**ting the perverbial bed. Because he is not. You only change the QB because, "Why not?"

So with that said, I will go back to bed and wait another 10 months before I can have anything Jet related to be excited about.

Smell ya later!

2007-10-21T23:58:00.001-04:00

I'm afraid to even write anything............

Can they please just win this week?

2007-10-18T11:26:00.000-04:00

I mean, really. The fucking Bengals blow. Granted, they have some serious offensive firepower, (Palmer, Chad, Rudi is going to play, and that other WR with the fucked up name).

Look at this fucking guy! If he wasn't wearing a football uniform you would think he was a fucking gay crackhead if you just saw him on the street. That being said, I like the fact that he is nuts and he backs up his shit talk, so that warrants my respect.

Regardless, the Jets have to do some things right to win on Sunday. Here are things I think are important, but again, I am just some stupid fuck who writes on this fucking blog because my buddy asked me to and I happen to be bored at work today, so my opinion means absolutely nothing.

Keys to Victory:

1. Run the ball like they did last week! T Jones was running roughshod all over the Eagles, who have a much better defense than Cincy. (That's not saying much of course).

2. Better Playcalling - give the fucking ball to TJ when it is (insert down here) and 1. Let's stop with the fucking Hanover Park High School play where the QB does a sneak up the middle. That play works once every 5 tries and the defense knows it is coming EVERY TIME! Get a fucking clue.

On a side note, Chris Baker was reprimanded for telling the Star Ledger that they should have given Jones the ball when it is was second and one. They should have given Baker a fucking bonus for having the balls to call it like it is. Please! At least they didn't fine him though, maybe because they knew they were fucking stupid for not calling that play.

3. Chad cannot make mistakes. I'm not saying the guy has to throw for 300 yards with 4 TDs, but stop throwing interceptions for fuck's sake! There is no question that Chad is playing for his job from here on out, and for his sake, he better not fuck it up. Maybe a good outing will give him confidence for next week. If he is playing poorly, I would not be surprised if a new QB is starting the second half this week.

4. The D needs to make plays like it did last week. They gave up a shitload of yardage, but they made some important stops when they had to. The Eagles only scored one TD last week, and again, some better tackling would have helped stop that lucky score.

5. The mental aspect that they know they can't lose this game. If they do their season is effectively over, not like it's not now, but they still have a shot if they get their shit together this week.

I think they will win this week, I don't know if Chad is going to play the whole game if he starts out by playing like shit, but we'll have to wait and see.

My prediction (and they have been awful so far this year):

Jets: 27
Homos: 24

Who the fuck knows, but I know it will be close and they are both going to score some points.

All I can say is: Gooooooooo Jets!

RANDOM NOTES:

Can you believe Vinny Testaverde is still fucking playing? Unbelievable. That guy is going to be playing in 2020, and calling timeouts to change his fucking Depends diaper.

The GMen face another "Trap Game" this week. That means that when a team gets lucky and wins some games, every game is a "Trap Game" for them because they a sham and everybody thinks they can lose to shitty teams. How many "Trap Games" do the Patriots play? None, because they are expected to beat everyone because they are good.

Speaking of the Pats, fuck them, their pretty boy QB and their cheating cunt of a coach. I hate them. That being said, I don't see anyone stopping them from winning the Super Bowl this year. I don't even see anyone making a game out of it. The AFC Championship game between the Colts and the Pats is the Super Bowl, so get your popcorn ready for that game.

GO JETS!

TRADE CHAD!!!

2007-10-15T05:56:00.001-04:00

The guy is the face of our franchise. He is doing more than his part. He is a true leader and a real NFL quarterback. He can win in this league. These are all reasons the Jets should trade Chad Pennington. Go on without us Chad! Save yourself.

We are pathetic and need to just realize we are "rebuilding". We have Clemmens. Lets just allow Clemmens to have his day. Lets not waste any more of Chad's time and health.

He can go with dignity and we could probably get a nice second and/or third rounder for him.

Where Is Some DDT When You F@#%$^ Need It?

Allright! I'm back to being a Jets fan, ESPECIALLY this weekend when the J-E-T-S take on my most loathed team in the NFL, the Philly Eagles.

The Iggles are coming off a Bye week and are looking for their second win of the season. But, as we all know, the Eagles reside in the NFC - where you can make the playoffs these days at 8-8. The Jets live in that all-competitive AFC, where 5 losses means you are fighting for a wild-card berth. 5 losses in the NFC gets you home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

My point, gentlemen and lady, is that the Jets are going to have to want this one more. I thought they played one great half of football in last week's first half. But look at what the Giants had did to the Eagles the week before, 12 sacks. 1 sack on Pennington.

The Jets defense needs to make McNabb uncomfortable early and has to limit Westbrook's damage. I think the Jets linebackers are up for the challenge, Barton, Vilma and Harris. The Philly D is not as stout in the middle as it once was. You can run the ball on them. Jevon Kearse is just another DE against the run but excels in pass rush.

Screens are absolutely key against the aggressive blitzing defense of Eagles Def Coordinator Jim Johnson. Why do you think Tiki Barber had all those big games against the Eagles? He either had a 50-yard TD rushing or on a screen pass every game. L Wash, as he is now known, could fill a similar roll. Thomas Jones can wear them down all game. Limit Chad to no more than 25 passes.

Mangini, I know you are out there scouring blog world for these coaching tips by armchair geniuses. Well, listen to this one! As a Giants fan, I know the Eagles all too well. We also know how to beat them. Put the game on McNabb and keep him in the pocket, his throwing accuracy goes down the stiller he becomes. Don't leave your gaps with McNabb because he is as shifty as they come, a strong dude who can hurl it 60 yards no problem while falling backwards.

My prediction: Jets 17 Eagles 13

Meet Fakehead.

Meet Fakehead's boy.

It's funny, crow tastes like chicken. Five reasons why the Jets lost to the fucking Giants...

2007-10-09T17:44:00.000-04:00

1. Chad Pennington - Wow. Talk about at least one God-awful throw. It was atrocious. It's like he just threw it up for grabs, (which he did), and he didn't even look where it was going. That was the beginning of the end. The second pick that Ross ran back for a TD was a better throw and a great play. Either way, Eli actually outplayed Chad and it wasn't pretty. Does Chad ever not throw at least two picks a game now?

2. The Jets Defense - couldn't stop the run late in the game and Eli did what he needed to do to win the fucking game. They didn't step it up, but I have to give props to Kerry Rhodes (finally showing the potential that was untapped last season) and Vilma, who played well considering. And Figs was half right about Revis - he played okay but missed some tackles and and looked a little lost at times. Dyson should be ashamed of himself when let Plax take him to the house. Go low young man! And Jeremy Shockey caught some balls and scored? How does that happen? It hasn't happened all year. Did they forget that if he is left alone and the conditions are perfect (i.e., the moon is aligned, he got sex from his boyfriend the night before, nary a strand of his flowing locks is out of place, etc.) he can actually catch a pass and move his body forward? Just because it hasn't happened all year doesn't mean you leave him to his own devices! He was wide open! And of course, Eli had 2 years to throw the ball on most plays. At one point he dropped back, pulled out a carton of milk and a little cereal box and made himself a bowl of Apple Jacks, ate it, and then threw a 18 yard strike to Plaxico. I mean, he put the empty box down before he threw the ball. That's how long I'm talking here. Granted, they got to that punk a couple of times, but Eli, being the girl that he is, threw the ball like a little sissy to avoid the sack. On those plays, the tech crew at CBS said they heard Eli screaming while he was running like a five-year-old girl who saw the boogeyman.

3. Thomas Jones - who? The guy gets 30 yards a game and hasn't scored a TD yet. This is their replacement for Curtis? It's like replacing Eric Dickerson with fucking Blair Thomas. It's a bust so far. Part of the problem is that they are only giving him the ball 10-15 times a game, but how are they supposed to run more when they are always playing from behind? Give me a fucking break.

4. Playcalling - The Jets fell completely flat in the second half after getting the lead 24-14. They proceeded to get outscored 21-0 from then on. That is pathetic. Instead of throwing interceptions, the Jets offense should have been busting open holes so Jones and L Wash could gain some ground and chew up the clock.

5. The gayer team won. Rumor has it the Giants players offered to give the Jets players oral in exchange for a Jets victory. That's how gay the Giants are. The Jets refused and the Giants played one of their best games of the year. I heard that Cowboys and the Packers said that a lot of the Giants give good head (especially Shockey).

Let's face it, now that the Mets killed me, the Jets are following suit. Maybe I'm the problem. Everyone knows I am going to hell for a host of reasons, but do I deserve to have my favorite sports teams suffer my fate just because I like them? Maybe I should become a Giants fan.

The Jets need to step it up, 2nd place is a cake walk in their division if they just win a few games, and who knows, a playoff spot isn't out of the picture, yet. I'm not sure what to do about Chad. I love the guy, but something needs to click with this offense. It's anemic at this point. And seriously, if Jones doesn't get a 100 yards and a TD soon I'm going to go nuts. Philly is next on the horizon, and that is going to be rough. They cannot afford a loss if they want to keep any hope whatsoever alive of making it to the playoffs. And what did the fucking cheerleaders do? Those skanky ass hos!

On the plus side - L Wash rocks, (that's a trademarked nickname, whether it is good or not)special teams were good, except for that missed kick by Ted Nugent. He needs to get his shit together. Some great grabs by L. Coles, who is so money he doesn't even know it, and as I said earlier, Kerry and J Vilma finally did something. Yeah!

I'm not giving up hope yet. I'll say it again, Go Jets!

'Nuff Said

2007-10-08T19:24:00.000-04:00

I take just a little pride in enduring months of ribbing and ridicule and sweating through it until the very day of the game. My jets friends were never going to let me live it down if the Jets pounded the Giants. I flew home specifically to back up my team.

And for 2.5 quarters me and Big Blue were deserving of every backhanded remark. It was one of those games where last year's teams would've folded it up and taken a mental vacation, going through the motions until the clock read 0:00. Chad Pennington was picking us apart with short and medium passing. The Jets defense scored a TD on a Brandon Jacobs fumble off his second freaking carry. The play-calling was atrocious; trying to out-duel a ball-control and efficient opponent like the Jets by passing on 1st down, running on 2nd down and forcing yourself into a passing 3rd down. Just when things were looking up, the Giants marched down the field on the opening drive for a TD, the Jets multi-faceted RB Leon Washington returned his second 98-yard kickoff return of the season for a TD.

Everything was going the Jets way.

Then, crafty veteran Sam Madison left his man shallow, watching Chad's eyes, and picked off a pass intended for the sideline. The Giants and their highly beleaguered and rudely and wrongly criticized QB (especially on THIS site), Eli Manning, moved down the field and Shockey caught a TD. Just as, I must point out, people watching the game were saying that the Shockster hasn't done anything this year (which they were right about). But you speak of the devil, and he appears.

Then, rookie 1st round selection- CB Aaron Ross made a huge interception just as Chad was answering with a Jets drive of his own, by picking off a pass at the end zone. The refs ruled he was down at the 2-yard line. Time for the Jets defense to make a play? A safety perhaps?

Nope. Big Blue's running crew was makin' green stew. Ward and Jacobs gave them a little breathing room and then - BAM!!!!!

Plaxico Burress, He of the Not Practice, caught a 6-yard pass, made a little move and then stiff-armed Jets CB Andre Dyson to the ground. Burress was about a foot from the sideline, just a little push and Plax would go out of bounds. But when a playmaking wide receiver who is over 6' 5" applies that llllllllloooooooooooonnnnnnnnngggggggg stiff-arm to the crown of the DB's head (much like an older brother does to younger brother while the younger brother swings wildly but can't reach), unfortunately that DB is not getting much of a push at all.

If he can stay on the field, Plax is all over the pro Bowl. He has 7 TD's in 5 games. His career high was 10 last season.

G-men took control in the 4th quarter, Umenyiora collected his 7th sack of the season, and then Aaron Ross put the nail in the coffin. Intercepting the usually careful Pennington for a third time. And to add injury to insult, Ross returned it 43 yards for his first career touchdown.

The bright side is that the Jets offensive line played really good. The Giants bring the nastiest pass rush in the league at the moment. 1 sack. D'Brick did great. Strahan didn't do a goddamn thing. Vilma played a good game and rookie linebacker David Harris looked good too. Revis is the REAL DEAL and he did the best job on Plax than anyone had all year, for the 1st half anyway. The TD was not on Revis. Bright spots Jets fans. Leon and Thomas Jones will get more on track, especially if the D get get something going. They pressured Manning pretty good on Sunday, better than the Giants were pressuring Pennington anyway.

FIVE REASONS WHY THE JETS WIN ON SUNDAY...

2007-10-04T13:10:00.000-04:00

The New York Jets are going to beat the Giants for several reasons on Sunday, but here are five in particular:

1. Chad Pennington. That's right, old rag arm can lead a team better than his counterpart in blue, Eli Manning. I'll say it time and time again, Eli ain't no leader. Chad is the epitome of a leader, and his will alone will help the Jets overcome the Giants on Sunday. That being said, he needs some goddamn time to throw the ball! The Jets' o-line will make or break him.

2. Special Teams. Which Jet is going to run back a kick this week? The Jets' special teams are better than the Giants, and Leon Washington could have a huge impact on this game. Speaking of...

3. The Jones/Washington Combo. Yes, it hasn't wowed anyone yet, but this is going to be the week when the two get their shit together and do some damage on the ground. The Giants defense, while a work in progress and admittedly getting better, still has some problems against the run and the Jets need to exploit this.

4. The Jets have more heart. I have a feeling the Jets "D" is going to step it up this week. Why? Because bragging rights and pride are on the line. It's bad enough they have to play in "Giants Stadium," but now they can finally show the tri-state area who is boss by beating the shit out of the boys in blue in the regular reason. Don't forget, they don't play in the regular season again until 2011 or something. Holding bragging rights that long means something to both clubs, but the Jets have more heart than the G-Fags.

5. The Giants are a bunch of pussies and crybabies, and for the most part their fans blow. (Figs and some others excluded). Wow. Did anyone think that would be a reason? You bet your ass it is! Because it is a Giants game, you can bet that all those old white motherfuckers in their stupid Bill Parcells blue Giant sweaters and their fucking tailgates with the tablecloths and brie and wine and crackers will be set up, and they'll all be saying excuse me on line to the bathroom, and when they see a pretty girl they will be like, "Well Chip, I must say that the young woman over there is somebody to write home about, ha ha ha" Please. Jets fans see a hot chick and they are like, "Hey stinkbox, show us your tits!" They may be pushy fuckheads who get a bit rowdy, but at least they have a personality. A little adversity over the years has made them stronger. Whereas Giants fans have had more recent success, have more money, and think they own the world because the fucking stadium is named after their team. They consider the Jets renters and they own the fucking building. And they still talk about the fact that they made it to the Super Bowl in 2000. That is when they are reminded that they almost got shut out and fucking Trent Dilfer beat them.

Oh yeah, and look for Chris Baker to contribute, as opposed to the Giants loudmouth loser Shockey. Baker quietly does his job with great results. Shockey, while admittedly quieter this year, can't get the job done and drops more shit than he catches. Baker could make the difference when it comes down to it on Sunday.

Sunday is the day where the Jets can garner some much-needed respect, especially after the whole booing Chad debacle, (which I thought was deplorable). They need it. They want it, and they'll get it. Plus they need the fucking win!

My prediction:

Jets 24 Giants 13

Write it down bitches! I'm so confident I got some cash on the game, even with our resident Giant fan, Figs.

Oh, one more reason why the Jets will win - they have fucking cheerleaders now! Granted, these bitches don't know what the fuck they are doing, (at least they didn't opening day, but maybe they got their shit together by now), but I think they are hot (couldn't tell from upper level) and rumor has it Unruly is going to interview one of them soon. Unruly told me he got a hotel room for the interview and it is only costing him $400 an hour. Wait, I'm not sure if the woman is even a cheerleader....

Go Jets!!!!!!

Oh, and here is a photo from the Jets facility being built in the best town in New Jersey, Florham Park! Once the team has relocated there I will be checking out training camp and giving reports live from the field. Presently, I just go to the construction site wearing my jersey and start J-E-T-S chants with myself. Needless to say I may be forever barred from the site before it is completed.

GO JETS!!!!!!!!! BUILD THAT SHIT!

It's A Copycat League...

2007-10-03T09:48:00.001-04:00

I think that a lot needs to be said about Ken Whisenhunt and the way the Arizona Cardinals have been competing (and winning) games. Insomuch as I think Mangini should glean a page or two out of his book. Hear me out on this one fellas,....

My hat is off to Whisenhunt's resourcefulness - anything goes in order to win games. We have all heard about the two-running back approach that was made popular by teams like the Denver Broncos. Now most teams in the NFL like to feature two running backs to share the load and/or create favorable matchups against the defense. Well, why the hell not do the same thing with your quarterbacks?

Arizona has won two big games in a row by subbing the accurate Kurt Warner for a sometimes struggling Matt Leinart. It seems that the Cardinals do this when they need to mount a comeback or have to play a timing-based passing offense. There is no one better for a three-step drop and throwing the ball to a spot, except maybe Peyton Manning, than former MVP Kurt Warner. He was the one who guided those great Rams teams (The Greatest Show On Turf) to back-to-back Super Bowls. Warner processes information faster than Leinart at this stage of their careers. It's smart football and has the Cardinals on their way to respectability.

We would think nothing of Mangini bringing in Leon Washington on a 3rd and 7 because he is speedier and shiftier than Thomas Jones, right? In fact, we would be yelling at the TV to do that if he didn't. Why the hell not do that with our QB's? What if Clemens were in there for that sideline route at the end of the Buffalo game that Bills cornerback McGee intercepted to seal their win? Chad cannot throw the hard sideline routes that were needed to advance the ball while stopping the clock. He can manage the hell out of the game, work the middle of the field and such things, but what would the harm be for Clemens to trot on out and heave a deep ball or two, zing a couple of out patterns to the sidelines or thread the needle on deep patterns against Cover 2.

It would also be beneficial in keeping opposing defenses on their heels. They would figure Clemens comes in for deep and sideline stuff, right? Bam! Tight end seam pattern right the middle. Chad's back in? Play close to the line. Laverneous pulls a hitch-and-go and Chad floats a 35-yarder as the safeties were all playing shallow versus Chad's weak arm.

Anyway, it's food for thought. The worst by-product of Whisenhunt's QB tinkering is that their 'franchise' QB is the young and struggling Leinart. And because Leinart was such the Golden Boy at USC where he was surrounded by top talent, he is not used to failing, struggling, getting clobbered and turning the ball over. His psyche is what's at stake here, and that's dangerous because Kurt Warner CANNOT be The Guy.

It technically is no longer Leinart's rookie year, but he probably only has 10 or so starts, it is going to take some time. He needs to stand in there and make a few mistakes, but the Cardinals aren't trying to hear that and Whisenhunt sure as hell doesn't give a crap. He didn't draft Leinart so I'm not sure if he is even in bed with him as his Q. The Cardinals and Whisenhunt want to win NOW.

Don't the Jets?

Just some food for thought. I know that the QB situation with the Jets is different, Chad's the cool veteran and Clemens is the young gun. And I'm not confident that this would be the way to produce some victories, but the Jets defense has been less than spectacular and the offense has been decent but not enough to win. But damn, Chad's arm really REALLY limits the Jets offense, especially the deep and sideline plays.

A MISERABLE WEEKEND LEAVES JETS' (AND METS') FANS DESPONDENT

2007-10-02T11:26:00.001-04:00

All Jets and Mets fans had a terrible weekend. There isn't much to say, except how the fuck did the Mets let the playoffs get away and why can't the Jets get to the opposing team's quarterback.

I'll focus on the Jets and vent my frustrations about the Mets on that blog.

Edwards had enough time to read "War and Peace" while sitting back in the pocket, or at least an US Weekly. The Jets can't sack a quarterback if their lives depended on it. It's ridiculous. They need to put some pressure on, and they were trying to, that's the worst part. Chad played pretty well except for two bad throws. He's still the leader of the team and I don't want to see Clemens unless the Jets are 3-9 and the season is pretty much over. Why is Thomas Jones only getting the ball 12 times? Not only is that fucking my fantasy football team over, but it is taking away a chance to win the ball game. Mix it up Mangina! Jones only gets better as the game goes on!

Regardless, Sundays like the previous one make me want to stop rooting for sports teams all together. I already have enough disappointment in my life. And my fucking fantasy football team lost as well. Thank God for my kid and my dog.

Go Jets, big game next Sunday, we'll have to do a separate post on that!

2007-09-27T10:49:00.001-04:00

You call yourselves Jets fans?????????

A Giants fan is the one keeping the Jets blog moving along. What, Fakehead is too depressed about the Mets?

The Unruly Jet Fan is too busy providing for his family and moonlighting as the Mendham football beat reporter. What's next, he changes his name to the Menacing Mendham Minuteman Maniac?

I'm just going to start writing Giants blogs here, I could go on for hours about that. Since I'm all alone in here, why not? .....So, Eli Manning is panning out nicely now that Phillip Rivers is no longer the golden b.........................

Monday's Monologue

2007-09-24T16:03:00.000-04:00

Ah, Sweet Victory!

Despite the fact it was a shoot out with the lowly Dolphins doesn't diminish the win. The Fins are deadly division foes and never a gimmie game.

Here are five things we can take away from the contest:
1) - Chad Pennington has answered the call yet again. Another Comeback-Player-of-the-Year performance by Mr. Game Manager. Everything about Chad just told me that the Jets would win the game, despite whatever fireworks occurred - his body language, the fire he played with. He knew they would win the game too. I thought the icing on the cake was his QB sneak touchdown run. Just look at the guy. No quarterback shy of Brett Favre had more fun out there on Sunday, not even the McNabbapalooza they had in Philly.

2) - Statistics can lie and Special Teams can win games/Leon the 3rd-down phenom.That's not a real sentence and this is a tangental point, nonetheless, the Jets are a middle-to-bottom-of-the-pack team according to the numbers. Just look at last year. And yesterday, without that TD on Special Teams by Leon the Phenom , the Jets would have lost the game. More importantly, I think there needs to be a mandatory Leon appearance every third down, even in short yardage. He is the change of pace guy and the last one the defenses want to see in the 4th quarter after having Thomas Jones run into them all day. I think they should do a minimum of three either screen of passes in the flat to Mr. Washington per game.

3) - Thomas Jones is the thunder to the Jets attack and through him the whole offense, defense and complexion of the game resides within the Jets control. Ball control. Smashmouth. Between the Tackles. Slobberknocker. All buzzwords associated with TJ's game. Or at least they should be. The man will find a crease and give you 3.5 to 4 yards on 1st and 2nd downs. Chad's short-passing acuity and Leon's shiftiness can take it from there. Move the chains. Chew the clock. Win the game.

4) - This Ronnie Brown guy is the real deal. The pundits all talk about the way new Dolphin head coach Cam Cameron is going to awaken Ronnie Brown's slumping game. After all, didn't Cameron give LDT his wings in San Diego for all those years? Yesterday's game was the first hints of that. Man, Brown is going to be good and a pain in the Jets' ass for a while. After watching the game my suggestion would be to play a nickel package against the Fins, deploying instead of your third best cornerback your backup safety on Ronnie Brown. The thinking is that the extra speed of the safety over a linebacker and the extra muscle over the cornerback is the ideal match to tie Brown up until help arrives.

5) - The Jets displayed that same spirit they had last year:

G!-U!-T!-S!!! Guts, Guts, Guts!

There may be more talented teams, but these guys in green are gamers, they believe they have the edge in being more prepared than the other team, so that when it gets close the J-E-T-S are never out of it (provided they are within one score).

As for me, my esteemed Editor-In-Chief remarked that I was starting to sound like Jets fan the other day. The simple truth is that, being a lifelong Giant fan, I never had anything against them, so why would I not like them? It's not like its a rivalry or anything, the two teams are in separate conferences so they don't collide much, only for an annual pre-season match-up that is more for convenience's sake than anything. But because I have allegiance to who I have allegiance to, I have to write this piece in Big Bad Ass Blue!
And I just love football. If I lived in Arizona I would pick up stuff and root for the Cardinals. I guess the reason that Jets fans hate Giants fans is because they got our hand-me-downs. Instead of your older brother's pants you got Bill Parcells.

Oh, and you're welcome.

Jets 31 Dolphins Zip itty

2007-09-23T10:20:00.000-04:00

opportunity hardly knocks louder than this.... Finish the Fins.
With a win today, the jets could move to 1-2, a necessary first step if they want to finish their first month of the 2007 NFL season at .500.

The Jets running game and defense need to get going, then they could pull a game out. Too bad about Justin Miller, one of the fastest guys in the NFL - gone for the year.

Well, GreeN Geo GillS, it shall all play out in a few...Gooooo Jets!!!!!!! Here is a Jon Vilma's cousin sifting through the battlefield in a few hours:

10 Thoughts about the Jets

2007-09-20T14:36:00.000-04:00

So you were waiting 10 separate thoughts that come off the top of my head? Your in luck! After further ado, here you losers go...

1) Bin Laden has a new CD out. You can down load it off iTunes for .99 cents. In his tape he call so for Alkaida to retaliate against Pakistani president Mohamad Whogivesashit for being an ally of the U.S. I think I am going to have to go with Bin Laden on this one. I never really trusted that guy anyhow and as long is is trying to kill people outside the US has to count for something.

2) Wayne Cherbet came out today in the Newark Star Ledger that he has post partem depression after playing 10 seasons with the Jets. Wa wa wa...come on Wayne! You only played good on 3rd down and now we are supposed to feel sorry for you. How many rings did you bring us you baby!

3) I can't beleive the summer is over!

4) It is Fakehead's birthday! No idea how old he is but I feel bad I didn't get him a card because the S.O.B. always gets me a card. Hey Figgy the Mick, if you get him a card put my name on it please. I'll get your back someday somehow.

5) My new favorite writer is Joe Hofmann from the Daily Record. He covers High School football. And now I am totally involved Hofmann become my top resource for Morris County Football.

6) I am running out of things to talk about.

7) 2-0 Mendham faces 2-0 West Essex tonight. West Essex is favored by two touchdowns in both papers. But I think it will be tough, but Mendham does have the goods to get it done. I say they win by a point.

8) Mookie McFly has an awesome story about Fred Stubeaus and his brother Joe. I literally almost cried...but then I laughed and started calling Mookie blasfamist for ripping a picture of the Pope on SNL in the 90's. Some people say it was some bald woman singer, but I know it was Mookie. Sorry, I am struggling to come up with ideas.

9) A polish iron worker, working on a 18 story building is about to eat his lunch. But before he opens the bag he says to his co-worker. "If there is peanut butter and jelly one more time in my lunch box, I am going to jump off this building". Sure enough, it was PBJ and he jumped. At the funeral every one was whipering around his wife about how could she had made PBJ so many times that it just made him crazy. But she turned to the scoffers and politely said, "He made his own lunch."

10) Sorry, only 9 today. Smell ya later!

Tuesday's Topic

2007-09-18T09:00:00.000-04:00

What do you do when your team starts out 0-2?

Reactions range from the unlikely to the downtrodden. Some fans might already be throwing in the green towel and gearing themselves up for another Jets season of yesteryear. I'm talking the days of Mickey Schuler and Al Toon and Kenny OB. Instead of Dan Marino and John Elway hogging all the glory and the playoff games, now its Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Still, other fans are blithely wagering that the hand of God will descend and that the Jets will run the table all the way through.

Me? I think it might be one of those years for NY. The way it is shaping up now is that they better become second half of the season monsters or they are done. Now, the NFC is CONSIDERABLY weaker and you can possibly get a playoff shot at 8-8. That's right folks, .500 ball. The AFC is a much taller task, friends. 10-6 is probably the low figure for the playoffs, you basically need an 11-5 record to nearly guarantee a spot. Then there is the daunting task of punching your way through the Patriots and the Colts. Then you look down at your roster, think back to the games on Sunday and realize............

Here is the upside! Each NFL season is like A Tale of Two Cities with the first half of the season and the second half. Anybody remember the Steelers a few years ago drop a few games early on, are 5-5 at Week 10 and then never lose again -mind you, on the road almost the whole time-and become a buzzsaw of a team that rampaged its way to the Super Bowl?

The kicker to the Jets is that there is a genuine quarterback controversy going on. Chad is one of the best game managers in the NFL, he is by far the most underrated NFL quarterback, he is year-in and year-out ranking among the most accurate QB's with well-over 100 rating at his position. So, what's the controversy?
The savior with the gun.

Kellen Clemens really showed that he was a gamer in that spunky performance at Baltimore. Justin 'Doghouse' McCairens blew chances to advance the team and tie the game late in the 4th quarter. Clemens has a live arm and can make every throw on the field, most importantly to waking up the offense: sideline routes with velocity and the deep ball. In Clemens, on has a sense that the wide receivers would undergo an awakening of sorts. The Jets have very athletic wide receivers, neither the biggest nor the fastest in the league, Coles and Cotchery and even McCairens have a nice mixture of size, athleticism, route running ability and good hands.

An awakening in the passing game would do everything for the running game to get going. Which does everything to help the offensive line, which does everything to help the defense and special teams with field position.

Me? I live in Denver and just witnessed the Broncos draft and supplant a starting QB who won 70% percent of his games in his 4-year duration and took his team to the playoffs every year, advancing once so far as the AFC Championship game and becoming the first guy in history to beat Tom Brady in the playoffs. Why would a team that is a year-to-year contender do that to the most crucial position on the field and jeopardize a tried and true thing?

Jay Cutler, that's why. Jets fans, go with the youth movement now. Give Chad a few weeks to heal his ankle and see what Clemens can do. If he drops the ball, Chad trots back on the field with a healthy foot and dinks and dunks the Jets into some wins and re-energizes the team, fans and the highlight reels.

The Disgrace!

2007-09-17T16:24:00.000-04:00

There are two kinds of Jets fans. No, check that. There is one kind of Jets fans...and then there are idiots who are retarded and should not be operating any kind of heavy equipment.

There is rumblings all over forums, blogs and talk radio shows would are calling for Coach Mangini to start Kellen Clemmens for the rest of the season over Chad Pennington. These "Jets fans" are basing this call on yesterday afternoon's fourth quarter.

Granted, Clemmens looked good. And he has got a talented arm. But he is young, inexperienced and not in the position to do anything for us this year. Putting him in will be throwing away the season.

We are 0-2. Big crap! We also played the best two defenses in the league back to back. I am not willing to watch Kellen Clemmens take his lumps while going 3-13.

Chad gives us the best shot. I don't care if he can't throw like Elway. He is smart, patient and knows how to win. We are a young team. Chad will be playing another 6-8 years in this league.

These "fans" are embarrassing our team. We have a new regime that blows away anything we have had in a while. Herm was all lip service. These guys have principals for the good of the team. We need to ride them out. We don't need to be calling for Chad's head in the middle of a game while he is lying on the ground in pain.

That is not how a true Jets fan works. Our team needs us to support and back them up. Clemmens will get his due. Just let nature take its course.

GO JETS!

Tough Guys

2007-09-16T10:59:00.000-04:00

To play quarterback in New York, you better be a hero.

#10 for both New York NFL teams are bravely trying to start their respective temas games here in a few hours, despite serious injuries to each.

Chad Pennington got his leg twisted up last week against the Pats and bravely tried to get to the sideline to save his team a time out and he was booed for his efforts. Yet here he is doing everything short of getting a new leg sewn on to make the start and help the team.

The-One-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named is also gamely trying to play for the G-men against Green Bay, despite the zillions of stories between a separated shoulder and a bruise.

Well, Football Fans...we shall see in a few short hours.......

An Interview with Brandon Tierney of ESPN Radio

2007-09-13T15:49:00.000-04:00

This week Unruly Jets Fan (a.k.a. Steven George Muha), had the honor of sitting down with one of the most knowledgeable and entertaining Jets radio personalities, Brandon Tierney. Brandon, who hosts "The Audible" directly after the 5th Quarter show on 1050 ESPN Radio, has been a Jets fan all his life. On his show, Brandon's fandom comes through with stats and facts flowing off his tongue while giving shock therapy to callers who are mostly driving home from the game.

Brandon discusses in depth his early days as a Jets fan, who his favorite Jets players are and what it was like working with Stephen A. Smith.

Enjoy the interview...

Unruly: Have you been a NY Jets fan your whole life?

BT: Since Day 1, for as long and as far back as I can remember. I vividly recall racing back from Church when I was 6, 7 years old, and while I didn't even fully understand the game or the rules at that time, I knew the team with the green helmets were on TV. More importantly, I knew that that was the team I was rooting for. Every single Sunday.

Unruly: What moment in Jets history did you say to yourself, "This is why I am a Jets fan!"?

BT: True Story...I'm sitting in our basement in January of 1983, watching the end of the Jets-Raiders game at the Coliseum, and my Dad's honking the horn for me to come outside so we could leave for dinner at my Grandma's house. I remember saying to myself..."Pops, you can honk all you want, I'm not moving from this chair until this one's in the bag." After Lance Mehl sealed the deal, I flicked off the TV set (no remote) and ran upstairs and jumped in the car. I was nine years old, and I made the hole family wait. That's when I knew. And with God as my witness, if that game goes to OT...I'd still be in that chair. Spaghetti and meatballs can wait.

Unruly: Who is your favorite all time Jet?

BT: Loved Wesley Walker growing up and always called out his name when I caught a pass in the street. Freeman was the man in the open field, and while the D-line got all the attention (and rightfully so) Lance Mehl was my favorite on the other side of the ball. Al Toon was insanely gifted, Kenny O was better and tougher than most people think, and most recently, Chrebet and Vinny really brought genuine pride back into the stadium. Right now, I feel something brewing with Cotchery.

Unruly: What was your re-action to hearing the boo's/cheers when Pennington went down with an injury last week and Clemmens came in?

BT: I've never been so disgusted, or so embarrassed at the fans. I actually replayed the incident three times, and every time...I felt more and more ashamed. Sad. Let's hope everyone learned a lesson, but I hate to say it...it was a low point for this team, at that venue. One of them, anyway. Utterly unacceptable.

Unruly: After seeing how the first week played out, do you think Tannenbaum dropped the ball with the way he handled Pete Kendall?

BT: You bet, yet, I understand Mike's position. No one is above team policy, and for a second year GM, it's important that he establish continuity within the franchise and handle things consistently. Sure, they'll miss Kendall, they already do. But to compromise what you believe is right, especially for an aging player...not good business. I know what Mike was doing. This year, it will come back to bite him, but down the road, this situation could serve him and the franchise well.

Unruly: In your radio show "The Audible", do you find yourself amongst your own people when the callers call in or do they scare you at times?

BT: Scare me? Come on now. Half the time, I probably scare them, especially when I'm fired up. Listen, I sat in the stadium for years, rooting my ass off for this franchise, and like many Jet fans, I've had my heart stepped on more than a few times. I love when callers are fired up, as long as they keep perspective. Don't waste your time, or my time burying Chad when in reality, he was one of the only players to show up against the Pats. Know what you're talking about, because I certainly will. Actually, immediately following a game is one of the best times to be on the radio, at least for me. It's an extension of shock-therapy. Eventually, you walk away feeling a little better. Bloodied and battered and dazed, for sure. But ready for the next game. It's the evolution of emotions, and it's a beautiful thing.

Unruly: Out of this year's rookie class, who do you think will make the biggest long term impact to the Jets?

BT: It has to be Revis. I love this kid, loved him at Pitt. Love him in coverage, love him tackling in the open field, love him on special teams with some room in front of him. He is legit, and will be around for a long, long time. Great draft pick. He can run, he can cover, he can hit, and he's smart. Add that up, and you're looking at a future Pro Bowler. SOON.

Unruly: Do you consider this a re-building year for the Jets?

BT: It depends. After going 10-6 last season, would you consider a 7 or an 8 win season an effective rebuilding process? I don't. It seems that for whatever reason, just when the Jets show signs of progress, rather than advancing forward, they regress a bit. Sometimes it's injury, like Vinny in '99, sometimes they lose key players to free agency. Whatever it is, it's frustrating. If they really want to rebuild, they should start with some players that actually fit the 3-4 scheme. They're playing the wrong defense for the personnel they have, and have basically turned Vilma from an athletic dynamo, into an average, under-sized player. It makes no sense.

Unruly: Do you miss being on the radio with Stephen A. Smith anymore?

BT: I miss the daily banter, the interaction, and really...the show in general, sure. We're both very proud of the work we put out together, and to this day, we both believe that over a relatively short amount of time, we made a real definitive mark together. In radio, that's not as easy as you think. It was a unique show, different from anything else on the radio, in my opinion. Still, it was always known as the "Steven A. Smith" show, and I don't feel that I was promoted as effectively as I should have been--and Steven agrees. Listen, I'm very happy in my new time slot, doing my thing, at my pace...but that's my guy. Always will be. Who knows what's in store down the road. And for all of the Steven A. "haters", I hate to break it to you: he's one of the most generous, compassionate and fair-minded people I know. I'd go to battle for that guy, and he'd do the same for me.

Unruly: In your time in radio, who was/is your favorite person to interview?

BT: I've had the chance to interview Pete Rose a few times, and that was always a roller-coaster ride. If you listen to my show regularly, you may have heard me reference my time with Bob Feller, early in my career. Mr. Feller, while I don't agree with all of his positions, opened up so many different avenues of thought, and really impacted my career early. Herm was always fun, especially since we would go at one another quite a bit. Never anything over the line, but I don't think he enjoyed my style, which was fine, because I questioned the way he ran a game from time to time, so it was a good give and take. Listen, just because someones an athlete, it doesn't mean they're interesting. If they have nothing to say, I don't want them on my show.

You can catch Brandon weeknights 7-10 on "The Brandon Tierney Show" Weeknights, and also on "The Audible" Sundays, immediately following Jets 5th Quarter Show. He also is part of the New York Knicks and St. John's Basketball Broadcast Teams. Also, you can find Brandon on his MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/brandontierney and 1050's web site http://www.espnradio.com/espnradio.com.

We at JustNYJets.com wish to thank Brandon for taking the time to sit down with us and wish him continue success!

Two semi-words: Ha Ha

The New England Patriots ( as if they weren't loaded enough on the field) were caught videotaping the Jets coaches signals during last Sunday's semi-game at the parking-challenged Meadowlands. NFL Security discovered a Patriots employee with the videocamera and confiscated it. And in all the security and urgency of reconnaissance photos of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis being whisked away to Kennedy in Washington, the Patriots camera and tape were delivered to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell examined them and decided that the Patriots were indeed breaking the rules. Apparently the Patriots had been warned about this type of behavior before. All teams received notice in a memo from the Commissioner before the season.

Mark Schlereth, ESPN analyst, described how they would use such a video taping technique at at halftime during the game; Each team is allowed to take pictures before the snap of each play and after the snap of each play, to analyze what the other team is doing and how to attack them. That said, that team can correspond the videotape to the hand signals coming in from the coaches. The advantage in the second half of the game is tremendous! The defensive captain only needs to look over to the opponent's sideline to get the call of the defense.

Now, has long has this been happening? Sports Illustrated's NFL Preview edition of a few weeks ago had a prolonged interview with Peyton Manning. In the article he mentions how the Patriots like to tape him, the Broncos and other teams and shrugs it off like it's all part of the game.

Bill Parcells, the best analyst on ESPN hands down, made a remarkable statement on Monday Night Countdown. He remembered a game in 1951 when the Brooklyn Dodgers were caught stealing the New York Giants signals in a baseball game. Parcells also volunteered a few methods to beat such activity, makes one wonder where Belichick learned it from.

Stealing another team's signals provides an important competitive advantage, much like the Allies enjoyed during World War II when they were able to decipher the coded transmissions of the Enigma machine used by the Nazis. The game of football is all-out war in between those sidelines and end zones, is it not? Millions upon millions of dollars are at stake.

The thing I think the juggernaut Patriots are so stupid for is: get a sophisticated spy camera! How inconspicuous is it to have the freaking ball boy with a Panasonic snickering while filming across the field?! Doesn't Robert Kraft, Scott Pioli and Belichick know what they can do with micro technology? Haven't they ever seen a James Bond film? Put it in Belichick's uncombed hair and have someone controlling the zoom and whatnot. Just look at him here, scratching at his lice, who's going to look in there at some suspicious bump in that rat's nest?

F-E-A-R

2007-09-11T09:34:00.000-04:00

New York suddenly has its quarterbacks going down like flies.

#10 must look like a target to opposing defenses. I present an image from Sunday's debacle to the not-loaded-enough-so-they-have-to-cheat-and-steal-signals New England Patriots, be warned that this is a graphic image and those of you who have weak sporting stomachs may want to avert your eyes for this part of the blog.

One of the NFL's gutsiest players limping off the field.

Chad's twisting leg looked nasty on replays. His heroism for trying to get off the field quickly, as to not cause his team to take a time-out? Cheering from the crowd that went crazy from Clemmens as soon as he trotted in to take a few snaps. Berman was really giving it to the Jet fans in the numerous postgame and Monday night coverage shows, at one point remarking that his producers were telling him and Tom Jackson to lay off the Jet fans but they wanted to remind the fans cheering that they were better than that.

DOH! A reprimand from the King!

Chad's injury is tough in one important way: he's one of the best game managers in the business. Composure can't be taught, like leadership. Clemmens may have a live arm, but putting him in there against the Patriots would have been like leaving an infant for the wolves. Clemmens may get the snaps for a few weeks any way.

On the other side, there are so many conflicting reports about Manning's injury. I don't know if ESPN is tabloidding it up because it's Week 1 and it means viewers tuning in for injury reports the next couple of days or what. ESPN says separated shoulder, which is real BAD, and then the Giants and Eli himself say it is just a bruise that is sore, which isn't so bad.

The Giants game was awesome because of the scoring. But the were mauling each other out there, Cowboys D-line stud Jason Fergusen (remember him Jets fans?) tore his triceps and he's gone for the year. (I wonder if Ray Lewis did the same thing for the Ravens in last night's Ravens/Bengals game?) Osi and Jacobs are week-to-week injuries, I expect them back by October the latest.

If we need to go with Jared Lornezen we are in deep shit. I'm keeping my fingers crossed all freaking week. I know you guys hate the Giants, but f-off I write enough on here to sneak in a thing or two, after all we're partners, right? (New stadium)

NEVER FEAR JETS FANS!

2007-09-10T15:35:00.001-04:00

THE NEW YORK JETS NOW HAVE OFFICIAL CHEERLEADERS! No, that's not one of them, that's the Spelling-Queen Fergie, who is a piece of ass in her own right.

Even the cheerleaders couldn't get it right yesterday, as they came on the field too early at one point and had to be told to get off before a play started. Yes, they were booed. Does that mean Jets fans hate the Cheerleaders? Fuck no!!!!! And most Jet fans don't hate Chad Pennington either. He is the QB of the Jets, like it or not. I'm sure whatever shitheads booed and/or cheered when he was injured are like most NY team fans, a bunch of drunk, stupid, cunty fucks who accept nothing less than a 16-0 season with 16 56-0 victories. They are lunatics. They are the same fans who boo A-Rod when he gets 3 HRs in his first three at-bats and Ks in his last. They have no clue about sports, loyalty, or what it means to play a game.

Regardless, we don't need people like Cunt Oberman judging Jets fans. We can take care of our own. I would like to believe a few fights broke out after people cheered and/or booed. Certainly there were thousands of real Jets fans at the game yesterday. I know in my section we were yelling at two stinkboxes wearing Tom Brady jerseys, so much so (not me as much as my insane buddy) that I doubt they will ever wear that jersey in New Jersey or New York again. Was it funny? I don't know, it was at the time. Was it mean? You bet your ass it was.

Regardless, the Jets season is not over, it's not time to bench Chad Pennington, (unless he is really injured and that would be the only reason) and Clemmens (or whatever the fuck his name is), should not be starting ahead of Chad. Chad is bona-fide leader who worked his ass off to get back to the Jets, and the job is his to lose after several shitty games, not a quarter. Let's not forget he was feeling pressure all day, while Tom Brady had enough time to have visitation with his new kid or bang a supermodel in the backfield before he threw a pass. (See my comments below on that issue).

The Jets weren't awful, but they have some things to work on. That being said, their schedule is pretty rough this year, so they better figure shit out quick or they will be 0-4 in a month. But alas, I still have faith in them, they are the fucking Jets for Christ's sake, and they are my favorite football team.
Go Jets!

Random Notes:

The fucking parking at Giants Stadium - it is an abomination!!!!!!!!!! I will never go to a game without a parking pass. It's not worth it not to. Or I will park somewhere and walk to the game. I breezed in and had no trouble parking with the parking pass (it is pre-paid for season-ticket holders only) and there were a lot of spots still available at game time. We had about 3 or 4 empty ones right near us, and we got to the Stadium at 11:30 am. Eventually most of them filled up but there were several open even as the helicopters flew over the stadium to start the game. The buses that transport people to office parking lots to park were old school buses, and you can't tailgate at the office parking lots. So you have to get on a color-coded bus to get to and from the stadium, and basically bring your cooler or whatever with you. I have no idea what people would do with their coolers when they go inside the stadium, unless they left them somewhere or met friends who got into the main lot and those friends kept the coolers for them. Insane. The lines to get on the buses reminded me of jews lining up waiting to be taken to the concentration camps. Ridiculous, sad and pathetic. Oh, and did I mention that it costs $25 to park in the satellite lots?

My advice - don't dare go to a game without a parking pass. They sell them on Ebay now, but for the Giant/Jets game they are running 140 bucks each!!!!!!!!!! I knew I should have bought them before the season started, because they were 30 bucks. I had no idea. I wish I had 20 of them, because that's a cool grand easy.

The Giants lost, which amuses me. Eli played pretty well, but their defense looks worse than the Jets. Fucking awful.

Fig's new favorite team won, (Denver) and Cutler played well, along with their new RB. I wish the Jets had the Broncos O line, because it is sick and has stretched open more holes than Ron Jeremy.

The Mets are kicking ass, maybe some of you want to visit our Mets blog as well. Go Petey!!!! Let's hope they kick the Braves' ass this week as well. Fucking cunts that they are. Losing to the Phillies was the best thing that could have happened to the Mets, because they turned it around and showed their resilience like the champs I hope they turn out to be.

GO JETS AND GO METS!

UHHHHHHHHGGGGGG!!!!!!

2007-09-09T18:50:00.000-04:00

So, how's it going? How's the weather where you are? Got any good jokes? Hey, did you hear that A-Rod hit another dinger today? How about the Mets all but clinching the division? How's your bother? No, the retarded one. OK, lets switch the subject. Do you have any hobbies? Are you still considering going back to law school? You still dating Joanne? Nice haircut. Where do you get your teeth whitened?

OK...lets cut to the chase, it is going to be a long season. Lets just hope Chad is too hurt to play this week and we can begin the Kellen Clemmens era. I know we have bigger problems than Chad but lets have something to cheer this year.

Smell ya later...

HEY F-HEADS, IT'S TIME FOR SOME FOOTBALL!

2007-09-05T14:22:00.000-04:00

LET'S GO JETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been invited to the first real Jets game of the year, and I am very excited! My boss has tickets and his son invited me and a very well-known detective to the game. We will be leaving around 9-10 am to set up shop in the parking lot (because my boss has season tickets he gets a parking pass to get us into the lot, but we have to be in one vehicle) and the game starts at 1 pm. It is going to be a sell-out and I'm sure the place will be rocking. It's going to be a tough game for the Jets, and if they win it will give them a huge boost of confidence and some swagger to start off the season.

Questions that will be start to be answered (but it's a long season so we have to wait for the final answers)
1. Is the Jets D finally working out?
2. Will Chad play well and shake off a shitty pre-season?
3. Is Thomas Jones the real deal?
4. Is Revis worth the cash?
5. Will Tom Brady's off the field dramas fuck him up on the field (we can only hope).

I plan on getting pretty fucking drunk, but I hope that I don't fall off the top tier or forget what happened at the game so I can write about it later.

Go bless America, God bless football, and God bless the New York Jets!!!!!
J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS JETS!!!!

OH YEAH, AND FUCK THE CUNTY PATS AND THEIR JERK-OFF COACH!

(Go Mets too!)

What's In A Name?

2007-08-29T09:36:00.000-04:00

The ultimate DOH!

Bridget Moynihan had Tom Brady's baby last week. Okay, everyone knows that. The bouncing baby boy had not had a name up until yesterday.

My good friend, Trey Wingo, from NFL Live called and gave me the scoop yesterday afternoon. The boy's full name is (apparently) Julius Edward Thomas Moynihan. For those of us that are slow, that translates to JET Moynihan. J-E-T.

Guess Bridget is pretty cool with being broken up and him banging the 9 other hottest women in the world.

Now, if she had named the boy Dolphin, Brady would really have been upset. That's the team that has given him the most trouble over the years.

Ben Grubbs Should Be Here....

2007-08-28T09:33:00.000-04:00

The Pete Kendall tirade and subsequent trade to the always-stupid Washington Redskins has taken its toll of the NY Jets. Now, you have a Division II guard at that spot who only blocked for an option offense at little-known Nicholls State.

Jacob Bender started the Jets/Giants game as the starting left guard next to improving LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson. And you could see the whole line collapse. Pennington and Clemens were sacked a few times and pressured into hurried throws most other times. The Jets O-line looked like it was trying to hold back Hurricane Katrina.

This means that the Jets could possibly have a difficult September. New England, Baltimore, Miami and Buffalo - three teams are in the AFC East and Baltimore is a premier AFC squad. Right from the get-go if the Jets don't go 2-2, AT LEAST, they will be in a hole early in the season.

I know, I know, September doesn't make an NFL champion, but in the very good and crowded AFC, the Jets can't afford to lose ground out of the gate. So the O line better get it together and Chad better start throwing a little harder. I've seen Rodney Harrison already dispensing hits worthy of Jacked Up! and that doesn't bode well for Gang Green receivers that will have time to drink an ice tea and take a shit while they wait for Chad's 22-yard floater pass. Plus, New England has something of a pass rush, so if the J-E-T-S can't run the ball behind that O-line, then Gang Green is D-E-A-D.

Does anyone care?????

2007-08-27T11:09:00.000-04:00

The Jets put a beating on the Giants (a preview to the regular season) but does anyone on this blog give a shit?

Importantly, the outcome gives the Jets confidence going into the regular season and bragging rights (at least until the real game). However, Pennington didn't look at great (Washington did on that pass play), the Jets defense was shit on by Eli (of all people) and the Jets' running game without Jones was non-existent. That being said, Clemens threw the ball well and I'm not scared about Chad getting hurt anymore. And they still beat the cunty Giants, so that's good.

I was at a wedding so I missed the game, but it's only pre-season so I could care less. Honestly, pre-season is worthless to watch for me. I am looking forward to the regular season starting, but right now it's baseball season. (See the Mets blog for new post).

Go Jets!

GIANTS VS. JETS (and other crap)...

2007-08-22T15:38:00.000-04:00

First of all, did you guys know that apparently, neither the Jets nor the Giants have official cheerleaders? Look at what we are missing:

This is bullshit!

Now down to business. The Giants are playing the Jets this Saturday in their annual preseason game. I have been to several of these games and I can tell you that nobody who has half a brain gives a shit who wins. Like most preseason games, I pray for no injuries to any Jets, and hope that the players get into fighting shape. Certainly, preseason is simply a stage for the non-roster invitees and other hopefuls to make a name for themselves. That usually involves them doing something stupid and injuring themselves or others. While we could have gone to the game this year, I have a wedding to go to and that means my free tickets were given to others more worthy than Unruly, Mooks, etc. No offense to them, it's just that my boss isn't friends with them.

Speaking of the wedding, I'm not going to know a sole (save for the bride and groom) but those are the best types of weddings to go to. I can be Drunky McDrunkerson and nobody is going to remember me (except when I take over the dance floor and become a star for 20 minutes).

Anyway, as for the regular season match-up, our quest for tickets continues. I agree with Unruly's prior comments, we will get into the parking lot and score tickets for fair market value midway through the first quarter. It is pretty much our plan, except that if our buddy from that awesome website "2bhip" belt buckles, hooks us up with free tickets.

As for the Jets, Jones needs to get healthy, Chad needs to step it up, and the D needs to stop the run this year. As for Revis, I hope he's the real deal. Something tells me that he may be.

RANDOM NOTES

I'm glad Vick (aka Cunthead) is pleading guilty. It shows a couple of things: 1. He must have done something wrong. 2. You can't fuck with the feds because they are a bunch of cheating fucks who will stop at nothing until they destroy you unless you acquiesce. And 3. His lawyers, if they are worth a pound of salt, spoke to the NFL prior to entering the plea agreement and were given some sort of assurances that Vick's career is not over if he serves his time and makes some atonements. To be honest, I would have thought that the only way Vick plays another down in this country is if he went to trial and won. I'm sure he is guilty though, so he decided to take a chance and I guess hope that the NFL will let him back in one day. I doubt the World Football League or CFL will pay him as much. Shit, I don't even think Unruly's League would allow him to play in it.

Check out the Mets blog, there is a new post on it.

I rented the show "Dexter" and while I have only watched one episode, it is pretty fucking cool. The "hero" is a serial killer who kills other murderers. Interesting. It reminds me of what Figs would be like if he had not managed to suppress his urge to kill. (Thanks to MJ!) ha ha

Music is a wonderful thing. I wish I could play the guitar. Plus, it gets you tons of ass. Speaking of which, Bruce Springsteen is coming out with a new CD this October (Magic). I plan on purchasing same, along with tickets to his ensuing tour. I hope Mooks and Figs and Unruly join me at the concert (or at least Mooks and Unrules, who still live in NJ).

Question of the day:

F, Marry or Kill:

Heidi Klum

Tyra Banks

Sharon Stone

My answer: Kill both Tyra and Sharon (make it look like a murder suicide) and Marry Heidi Klum, because then, hopefully, you get to bang her too. That's why this game is stupid.

Oh yeah, Go Jets!

Ouch!

2007-08-14T18:09:00.000-04:00

Camp starts to wind down and there are a few sour notes in Jets land.

MRI on the big free agent's calf? RB Thomas Jones should rightly sit the rest of the pre-season and rehab that calf. Eat bananas maybe.

Darrelle Revis has missed all of training camp. He's acting like he's the No. 1 pick of the draft and then some. Jets may have another draft day lemon. I can't imagine what Revius is thinking, sitting at home while the whole NFL is going on around him. His agent , Tom Condon I believe (?), needs to meet a falling brick with his face while simultaneously stepping on a rake that pops up and hits him in the balls. Take the 6-year fucking deal and be just slightly less rich, is this kid just a dumb country fuck or what???

Read a funny camp report in a Sporting news magazine today. Laverneous Coles was quoted saying that LB Jonathan Vilma is the team's biggest suck-up, hands down. Suck-up is obviously another word for kiss ass. Coles said that the team calls Vilma "Little Penguin", an affectionate poke at head coach Eric Mangini's nickname. Interesting...wonder if Vilma would just pound Coles as he's going over the middle in practice one day for that.

Know Thine Enemy (even if you may only play them in January)

2007-08-09T14:11:00.001-04:00

The key to preparing for battle is knowing your enemy. And nothing beats personal, first-hand experience. One could almost qualify my work as espionage, but I prefer to think of it as coincidental reconnaissance. Now that I am safely relocated and living under an assumed name in the Spy-Fan-Witness-Protection-Program, I can provide Jets fans with some cursory details and observations against a potential playoff opponent, the Denver Broncos.

I have been living out this way a while, so I procured some local traditional garb, donned it and went to camp with my camera and binoculars. Securing a sight that provided both visibility and earshot of the coaches, I observed:

The Broncos new acquisitions ( and there are a lot) looked pretty good. There were some dead legs out there but that is to be expected during the stretch of the second week of training camp.
The Broncos appear to be recommiting themselves to the running game. Travis Henry is like a bowling ball with legs, when he starts seeing those seems in the Broncos' famed zone-blocking scheme, he is going to be a nifty runner more than a blazer like Clinton Portis was. Henry could put up Portis-type production if he stays healthy, however.

The Broncos also appear to be going with a base offensive set that is ambiguous to opposing defenses. Mostly two-tight end sets, with the addition of Dan Graham at TE, him and a rotation of Tony Scheffler and Steve Alexander provide the Broncos with the ideal situation of being able to both run the ball and produce yards with their passing game on any given down.

Denver's offensive line has gotten significantly bigger in recent years, which should help their awful Red Zone TD percentage. Having a light, mobile O-line is helpful between the 20-yard lines but you suffer when you get near the goal line and are unable to punch it in.

The Defense was ahead of the offense, with players flying around making plays. Linebackers were coming up with interceptions, cutting the angles down on busted plays in which the QB would sneak. In one notable play, QB Jay Cutler rolled right on a bootleg play action and tried to sneak it, LB Ian Gold came from nowhere flying at him screaming, "Are you kidding me?!" and in the hawk-like swooping stance as if he would completely blow him up if it were a real game.
The defense also dropped a few interceptions.

And it's funny that the LB's were making all sorts of plays on the passing downs, because that means that the QB's were not throwing towards the wicked cornerback combination of Dre Bly and the immortal Champ Bailey, who stands alone, on an island, not only on gameday but in the spotlight of being the best at his position in the NFL.

The Broncos defense base package is the nickel. The very versatile third cornerback Dominique Foworth put in much of practice at John Lynch's free safety spot but also played the nickel corner when not at safety. LB's Ian Gold and DJ Williams will be a bear of a combination. And the Broncos are much, much, much thicker on the defensive line this year. DT's Gerard Warren, Sam Adams and Jimmy Kennedy are huge run-stoppers, and fourth-round draft pick Marcus Thomas from Florida is a diamond in the rough. Thomas is 6' 1", 315 pounds and can do a standing back flip. No shit.

So beware Jet Nation. If Cutler and Henry stay healthy, the Broncos should win the AFC West, besting the Chargers who were gutted of almost their entire coaching staff. Of course, San Diego has the best player in the NFL in LaDanian Tomlinson, or as we Giant fans refer to him - LDT.
But the Broncos always play them tough.

I have a formal report going to Mangini, of Course. But the information is undergoing a sophisticated encryption at the moment in my Enigma machine here. So long as the vans come to get me and whisk me to safety, I'll be allright. Unless the Bronco security happened to notice the big doof standing up front using binoculars and a camera simultaneously and followed me back here. I wonder if the three windowless black vans in front of my house are here to protect or harm me. Guess I'll just open my door and find out...........

D-Town's Jets Jabber

2007-08-06T09:53:00.000-04:00

Welcome to Monday, football fans. Why should we be happy that its Monday? Well, today is Monday the 6th of August - that means that NFL training camps are in full swing and teams are gearing up for their first pre-season contests.

The Jets are having a surprisingly quiet camp, and though their Big Blue brethren across town grab all the negative headlines with this Strahan business, the Jets have some issues as well. First round draft pick Darrel Revis' holdout does not bode well. Gang Green was counting on Revis jumping in there and improving a defense trying to crack into the Top Ten. Randy Moss and Tom Brady are looming on the schedule and even if Revis reported today, it is doubtful he would be ready for the steepest matchup challenge of the year.

Veteran Guard Pete Kendall is unhappy with his deal and wants more money. Is it just me, or didn't this same situation arise with Kendall while he was with Arizona and Denny Green, a 'player's coach'. Mangini hails from the Kraft/Pioli/Belichick school, who dangled like a worm on a hook in the trade waters Brady's favorite target and former Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch, never caving in on any holdout demands and letting Branch miss all of training camp and the start of the season before Seattle finally bit and took him. The Patriots parlayed that into draft picks which they in turn traded mostly away this year for more next year and spent uncharacteristically on free agency and trades of veterans like Moss.

Are the Jets management so shrewd? As training camp continues, the urgency builds more on getting the youngster into camp and ignoring Kendall's sour grapes, the Jets can squeeze in a decent guard and the O-line will be allright. Kendall has been pretty vocal in the media and Tannenbaum and the Jets front office do not appreciate THAT any.

Getting Revis in should be the biggest priority. Chad's looking good and with his accuracy and smarts he doesn't make many mistakes. If the defense can take that next step up into a top-10 unit and the Injury Bug doesn't bite too bad, the J-men and Playoff Bound again this year in the ultra-competitive AFC.

Sneaking a victory from the juggernaut Patriots will be a mighty task, but ball control and the fact that Mangini knows that system and those players so well only helps the Jets. Especially if they can beat them up in Foxboro. There will be no sleeping on Buffalo and Miami however. Ronnie Brown could blossom under Cam Cameron, remember what Cameron did with LaDanian Tomlinson all those years? And Trent Green taking over at QB gives the Dolphins a steady-hand game manager much like Chad Pennington. Green has great awareness and accuracy but not a great deep thrower. And the Dolphins have always had a stalwart defense.

Buffalo is going to be tough this year I tell you, as long as they have a running game. Marshawn Lynch looks good.

I'm sure you are all salivating, just like me. September 9th, across the country, there will be feasting and celebrating at thousands upon thousands of NFL Ticket parties. I'm personally pumped for the Thursday night kickstarter game, Saints vs. Colts. Could be a fantasy bonanza right off the bat.

Jets play the Giants TWICE this year! The annual bragging-rights brawl-in-pads that is the final pre-season game every year AND a rare regular season matchup for the Battle of New Jersey. The J vs. the G, in a matchup I would love to come home and see, and get jumped by the rest of my high school friends that are all Jets fans. Especially when the Giants win, Eli goes for 3 TD's, Plax 2, Shockey 1 and Brandon Jacobs ran the fuck over Kerry Rhodes (he's OK though - I really like Rhodes and am considering drafting him) AND late-to-training camp CB Darrel Revis on his way to a 50-yard touchdown romp.

Giants 34, Jets 27.
Mike: $5,000 worth of dental surgery, $10,000 hospital stay, wearing Eli jersey triumphantly in my hospital bed: priceless

First of many important posts from #1 Jet fan Living in Beantown - Tough , Real Tough

2007-07-22T11:58:00.000-04:00

If your reading this blog then your either a die hard Jets fan like myself, die hard Jets hater, a huge NFL football fan like myself who can't wait for training camp to begin or just someone who came across this link by surfing the web. Well either way. I hope you enjoy.

Let me first state that I have been a NY Jets fan for as long as I can remember. Starting out in the early 80's going to the Meadowlands on my birthday with my dad, uncle and cousin to go see my first NY Jets game, a preseason game vs the Denver Broncos. I can remember like it was yesterday. Sitting a couple rows from the front row and their they were, just like on TV, #14 Richard Todd, #24 Freeman McNeil and a bunch of guys who I had no idea who they were and remembering asking my uncle who was the huge Jets fan and his reply was their trying to make the team. Good chance they won't be here when the season starts so don't bother trying to remember their names. All I can remember from the 80's was my main man Ken O'Brien. Guy could have had hall of fame #'s if he didn't spend half his career on his back. I remember shutting off the TV when Kenny O and Wesley Walker single handedly led the Jets come back in dramatic fashion in what would be one of a couple Miracles at the Meadowlands , Jets vs Dolphins.

What can we say being Jets fan. I think I can sum it up like this. We are the team of , would have, could have and should have. If this didn't happen or that didn't happen. I must say like my colleague Unruly Jets fan I am a very excited Jets fan. If your any wheres near my age and you grew up in NJ than you remember how tough it was being a Jets fan. It was always about the Giants. The Jets are like the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL / football teams in the Metro NY area. They get no respect. And even when they do something bad usually happens. Can you say, 1999 Vinny T goes down in the home opener. I believe Tom Tupa a punter made it in as our backup at one point in time. I remember sitting in the parking lot of the Meadowlands with my neighbor who if you could do a google image search of a Jets fan he would most likely show up. Shirt off, big belly hanging out, drunk out of his mind and why because like everyone in that parking, we were all saying, this is the year. Well as you know or can search the record books, we have some good years, a bunch of bad years and never " that year ". I'm really hoping it happens some time in my lifetime. Living up in Boston, being a die hard Jets fan as my name states is " real tough". Yes, the Pats have picked up a lot of talented free agents, have a foundation that's built of brick and mortar, coaches, players, owners and fans and every odds maker in Vegas saying their the favorites of winning the Super Bowl, but I really think we, the Jets are headed in the right direction, again. After watching many disappointing seasons, either because we have lost in the playoffs, most recently Oakland, Pittsburgh and New England to name a few. This 2007 team has a couple intangibles that I will happily point out to you.

1. An owner that has a ton of money, keep buying JNJ products folks, who listens to the football experts. Mangini and his coaching staff, Tannebaum and their scouts.

2. A coach, yes young, but wise beyond his years. If your a huge Jets fan, yes it hurts but admit it Parcells and Belichick know the game of football and what it takes to win. How to take charge of a bunch of guys making good or great money for a game they love or once loved.

3. A smart talented leader on the field, who has been under allot of pressure since replacing Vinny T and is due " for that breakout year " if he stays healthy.

4. Finally, a hard nose, fast , powerful running back that can take those 25 - 3o carries a game averaging more than 2.5 yds per carry. Instead of the dink and dunk 2 yard swing pass that could potentially blow up in your face which wasn't tricking anyone. Not even my 89 yr old grandma.
Can you say change of speed back, Leon Washington, enough said.

5. LC, just shut your mouth and go to camp. That's what we pay you to do. Such a talented, player who plays at 150% all the time. Definitely no fear crossing the middle. J. Cotchery, thank you Tannebaum. Well deserved extension as well. McCarreins, the apitamy of this is his year. Keep hearing great camp, now just show us.

6. O-line, give Kendall the extra $$ he's looking for. One of the young cornerstones goes down, we don't want to be scrambling looking for a talented fill in. Has shown hes a leader on and off the field and can play center, G, and T.

7. Defense, still nervous. All I can see is L. Moroney and Corey Dillion getting 8 yds on their first down carries, T.Brady completing timing pattern after timing pattern and a D-back biting at the wrong time, TD bad guys. Only time will tell with the new defense, one year in, and our new bunch of new D-ends, LB's and DB's. All I can say I hope it works. I remember doing that switching people frequently thing and still getting burned. LB's, what can you say. Tough when your D-linemen can't stuff the run. Young and talented, great pick up of Harris. I think Kiper was sporting wood on draft day with that pick. DB's, lots of supposed talent, just need them to mature and develop some shut down capabilities.

8. Special teams, good day mate. Ben Graham, great weapon. Nugent continues to get accurate. Need more touchbacks on kickoffs.

With all this said, I hope I convinced you I am a die hard Jets fan. I have lived through many tough seasons, have had times where I have cried for joy and with great sadness. I leave you with this, my next blog will be of my breakdown of the this years upcoming schedule with predictions. In the past, I have been either spot on or 1 off, besides 2 seasons ago disastrous year. Not even Nostradamus's could have predicted that. I hope you enjoyed my first brain dump of my trials and tribulations of being a long time Jets fan and my thoughts of this years team.

An Interview with Chad Pennington

2007-07-18T15:16:00.000-04:00

In an off season break between mini-camp and training camp, New York Jets quarterback Chad Pennington took a few minutes to answer some questions with Just NY Jets' own Unruly Jets Fan.

Reports out of Spring camp have indicated that Chad is looking better than ever and he seems to be recovering just find from his two back to back shoulder surgeries. All indications point to Chad having one of his best seasons yet.

Chad talks about his off-season workouts, his relationship with Randy Moss, the Jets chances this season and much more as he discuss's life as a Jet with Unruly. Enjoy!

Unruly: How awesome is it being a star quarterback in the greatest city in
the world?

Chad: It has been a lot of fun, and jet fans are the best fans in the NFL.

Unruly: What would surprise people about being an NFL player that most
people would not know?

Chad: I think people would be surprised by the amount of hours we work during the season. For me, I put in about 55-60 hours between Monday and Saturday to prepare for Sunday. It is definitely a grind for 6 months.

Unruly: This spring, Coach Mangini has reported that your throws have been
stronger and crisper than he has ever seen them. How do you feel about
your shoulder coming into this season?

Chad: I have been working hard this off-season, and I have enjoyed working with my teammates on and off the field.

Unruly: What in the off season that you do, do you think helps you out the
most for the upcoming season?

Chad: Reviewing last year’s films helps me the most mentally because I can analyze the things I need to do better to help us win.

Unruly: How do you feel the Jets did in this year's draft?

Chad: I am excited about the young players we have brought in this year. I hope they will play a major role in helping us win.

Unruly: What did the signing of Thomas Jones do for team morale?

Chad: We are excited to have Thomas on our team. He is an exciting player who has been very successful in the NFL. He works extremely hard and is very versatile.

Unruly: How is it for you having a head coach that is almost the same age as
you?

Chad: At first, it was weird, but Coach Mangini is extremely smart and very detailed in his preparation. He is always looking for ways to get better.

Unruly: Do you have any feelings about facing your college buddy Randy Moss
two times this season when you play the Pats?

Chad: I look forward to facing him and I am glad he is in a better situation.

Unruly: How great would it had been if he ended up as a Jet?

Chad: I enjoyed playing with Randy in college. He is an amazing athlete. Our receiving corps is extremely talented and will be very exciting to watch this year.

Unruly: From a Jets fan perspective it seems many of the stars are aligning
for the Jets; the tactical head coach, the QB is feeling healthier than
ever, the big FA runningback is looking awesome, the cornerbacks are big
and tough, the offensive line is full of young studs, Brad Smith's
trickery, etc. I know this may appear to be a loaded question, but do you
see this as a Superbowl caliber team? (please say YES!)

Chad: Every year brings about different challenges. As a team, we know that last year’s success has no bearing on the 2007 season. We must work extremely hard and stay healthy to have a chance to be successful.

Chad also spends time working to help build better communities in New York City, West Virginia and Tennessee. His foundation, The 1st and 10 Foundation raises money help children and families in those areas. The 1st and 10 Foundation proudly boasts that every dollar that gets donated to its foundation goes right back to the community and all costs to run the foundation are paid by Chad and his wife.

Just NY Jets would like to thank Chad Pennington and the folks at The 1st and 10 Foundation for their time and courtesies in making this interview possible.

(Somehow) The Best Time Of The Year (We're All Champions)

2007-07-16T15:57:00.000-04:00

And here we are. At the most tantalizing time of the year. Everyone's team is that darkhorse-in-waiting. The team on paper is looking damn good.

The schedule looks like Omaha Beach, but you can visualize how your squad is going to pull it out. Sure, you are but a second-tier power who could only hope to ascend through a fortunate tumble of circumstances, but every year some team does - see the 2006 Saints.

This past offseason there was a noticeable arms buildup, so to speak, in the NFL's best Conference - the American Football Conference. Three teams stood out, though there were other many notable moves by other quality clubs.

The New England Patriots. Like it or not, simply the best organization in the business. Perennial contenders, a reputation I think they share with only one other club - their nemesis - the Indianapolis Colts.

Now the Colts didn't make any real moves, in fact they lost a bunch of crucial cogs in LB Cato June, CB Nick Harper, Safety Mike Doss, RB Dominic Rhodes and others. But because of the fact that they still have the greatest quarterback to ever play in Peyton Manning, the Harrison/Wayne/Clark receiving crew and emerging RB Joseph Addai, plus Defensive anchor Dwight Freeney signed long term- the Colts are now THE team to beat.

The Pats have never been more fearsome. It looks like they will get the Assante Samuel deal done, sealing up the second best cornerback in the NFL long-term. They signed the best free agent on the market in LB Adelius Thomas to really bolster an aging defense into one nasty unit. Thomas is a Terminator, the guy weighs 270+ and runs like a DB. Stronger than shit, the guy is just an animal. Richard Seymour, Vince Wilfork, Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel, Rodney Harrison and first-round draft pick Brandon Merriweather round out a savvy group of defensive stalwarts.

On the Offensive side, the Pats went out and signed deep threat/speed demon WR Lance Stallworth, solid all around receiver/special teams ace Wes Welker, and the serviceable WR Kelley Washington. Lawrence Maroney is the Man at RB, and though great all-around TE Daniel Graham departed for the greener pastures of Denver, the duo of Ben Watson and David Thomas will have the TE production not skipping a beat.

Oh yeah, on a sidenote, the Patriots also signed WR Randy Moss.

"................................................................................................................oh shit" went the rest of the NFL.

The third team that loaded up the arsenal was the Denver Broncos. Travis Henry takes the reigns as the lead RB, backed by the capable and gutsy Mike Bell. TE Dan Graham comes home to the sunny Rockies to play for his father's team and the team of his boyhood allegiance. Paired with the receiving specialist TE Tony Scheffler, the middle of the field will be a productive area in the 2007 season. Javon Walker leads the wide receivers, backed by the raw but potentially dangerous Brandon Marshall, veteran free agent signee Brandon Stokely and the still-going legend Rod Smith.

The biggest upside of the Denver offense is at the quarterback position however. Jay Cutler has an arm and a half. Faster trigger and harder, further passing ability than Brett Favre even. The ball just leaves Cutler's hand and is nearly instantly upon the receiver. Denver is a smaller market team to you New York mega-people and so you don't see them much, but get the NFL Ticket or pay attention on a Sunday or Monday night game and see what I'm talking about. Also a solid Fantasy pick up for you under the radar gold finders.

What about San Diego? Baltimore? Cincinnati? The Jets?

If Cutler can settle in and limit turnovers, Denver will again be humming along with their usual early-season success. Indy will be fine tuned and running fine on offense, but the Defense is an unknown quantity at this point. The Pats are just flat out the scariest team ever on paper, but they have yet to take the field to see how it will work. I just don't see Belichick or Brady having any adjustment problems, we can all only hope for some crazy locker room disturbance, bad weather that will cause lucky bounces and superb ball control offenses from our respective teams while engaged on the field with those Foxboro F__gots.

Shanahan plays the Patriots better than anyone. Belichick's record against him is terrible, 2-10 or something, and Shanny and Jake Plummer were the first people to beat the Patriots and Tom Brady in the playoffs in their recent Championship years. It must be a mental thing with Belichick because the adage in football is "Defense beats Offense" and Belichick is hailed as the best defensive mind in football, as Shanahan is also called on the Offensive side.

Dungy and Peyton have bested their ultimate nemesi the last four times against the Patriots, playoffs included. But THESE, the Brady To Randy Moss Patriots are going to be a different story.

Is YOUR team the David to the Patriots' Goliath? Will your Defense loosens a chink in the armor and will YOUR quarterback be the one to hurl the fateful rock?

It's all possible, right now, the most tantalizing time of the year.

Unruly's Game by Game Picks

2007-07-02T21:49:00.000-04:00

One of the reasons I am a Jets fan today is because of many years of suffering through losing season after losing season. But I feel my "story" is unique and gives me a depressing edge over most long suffering Jets fans.

The year was 1995, give or take a year (I was basically drunk every day back then). My friend Vinnie was able to buy Jets season tickets off a friend for the whole season. The Jets just hired a new coach, Rich Kotite from the Philadelpia Eagles. This was the year they were going to turn things around. And the fact that I was going to be watching all the home games that year was just the omen the Jets needed.

Well the Jets lost every single home game that year. I remember telling myself the Jets were just re-building. So Vinnie scored the same ticket deal for the following year. And we knew that this was going to be our year. And to make sure the Jets would bring victories during our second season, Vinnie and I had to buy $125.00 authentic Jets jerseys. Vinnie got his Johnny Johnson, and I got my Jeff Lageman.

And that our jersey trick must have worked. The Jets won one home game that year. Vinnie and I...actually, I wont speak for Vinnie...I was at an all time low. The Jets were stinking it up bad. And my drinking seemed to get worse during each loss.

I remember, sitting at the last row by the score board about 12 stories up in the air (that is where our seats where), wondering if anyone just noticed that I threw up in the seat next to me. I remember being depressed because the Dolphins just killed us. Then to top it off, two Dolphin fans ran up to me, took my football out of my hands and threw it 60 yards. A fight insued and I have no clue what happened.

Then there was the time Vinnie showed up in his Santa Clause suit for a late December game vs. the Bills. At the beginning of the afternoon, it was really funny watching Vinnie sing xmas caroles and slap Jets fans high five. But after 7 whiskeys I found my hands around Vinnie's throat with the seemingly clear thought that that mother fucker never got me Atari 64 in the fourth grade.

Oh those were the days. Me and Vinnie don't go to Jets games together anymore (in fact, I dont think I have seen him in person since that choking incident). But we still love the Jets. And during those years, we earned our Jets Fan Badge of Honor. When the Jets do win, all our hard work will have paid off and it will be a really special time.

So it is with that story that I declare that this is our year. The Jets have many of the peices in order. Chad's arm is better than ever. We have a versital running game. Our defense is solid at every position. And the fact, that Vinnie and I are not at every game can only help.

Here is the long awaited breakdown of the schedule:

Game 1 - Home vs. the Pats: A win. The Pats are going to be very suprised by our rushing backs and Randy Moss will not know what to do with our rookie CB Darrelle Revis.

Game 2 - Away vs. Baltimore: A win. The Ravens are washed up.

Game 3 - Home vs. Miami: A win. The Dolphins have really issues starting with QB and ending with a crappy coach.

Game 4 - Away vs. Buffalo: A win. Sorry, without Willis Mulcahy, the can't beat the Jets.

Game 5 - Away vs. Giants: A win. This is really not an away game.

Game 6 - Home vs. Philly: A win. McNabb will be hurt and so will the Eagles. Easy win.

Game 7 - Away vs. Cinci: A loss. Ok, the Bengals are for real. They will be tough this year.

Game 8 - Home vs. Buffalo: A win. I already said why.

Game 9 - Home vs. Washington: A win. Who plays QB for them? They stink.

Game 10 - Home vs. Pitts: A win. A new coach and crappy players equals a sucky season for the Steelers.

Game 11 - Away vs. Dallas: A loss. Why not. We can't win them all. Plus, I think the 'Boys will be rejuivinated with Wade Phillips.

Game 12 - Away vs. Dolphins: A win. Because they suck.

Game 13 - Home vs. Cleveland: A win. Dude, come on. How could we lose to them? Plus, we have to payback for last years bull shit loss.

Game 14 - Away vs. New England. A loss. Bellechick will have caught up to Mangini's tactics by this late in the season.

Game 15 - Away vs. Tennessee. A win. Vince Young will not be able to handle the Jets all by himself.

Game 16 - Home vs. KC. A win. And a big FU to Herm Edwards for playing his cards close to his vest when he left us. Althought I was happy he did leave.

So I am predicting a 13-3 season this year. I am breaking out my Lageman jersey and am going to make an amends to Vinnie. And who knows, maybe I will even show up at a game or two. But I will spare Vinnie the drama. And who needs Vinnie when you have Fakehead!

Go JETS!

Can we get the Unruly Football League to play at the new Jets training camp?

2007-07-02T13:41:00.000-04:00

Now that the Jets are moving their operations to Florham Park, New Jersey, it is my goal to get the annual "Unruly (his real name goes here) Football League Championship" (i.e., the one game we play a year at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas) played on an official field at the Jets training facility. We were already in the local paper, we just have to send that to the Jets with a letter from Unruly saying why we should be playing there once a year.

Of course, we will have to promise them we won't sue when somebody breaks their arm, but I can draft the waiver. And, obviously, we are going to need a crew of writers to make sure that Unruly's letter is spelled correctly and uses the King's English instead of the shit Unruly learned while at Holy Family.

Could you imagine? It would be fucking awesome! And while we're at it, we'll get Marissa Miller to be the cheerleader!

Unruly, I know you are crazy enough to take this idea and run with it. Speaking of which, I think we should start a football league with pads for older people, we would make a mint off of it! Flag football is for pussies and girls. To be honest, if you just get Marissa Miller to hang out with us it is a victory for everyone! (She may have a different opinion, but cash talks my friend!)

Random Notes:

There is a new post on our Mets blog, I'm sure none of you care.

One of my friends calls women "Stinkboxes". I find it highly offensive and I use it any chance I get.

Paul LoDuca rocks and he is nuts (see footage from when he got thrown out of a recent game).

Who cares about the NBA draft (and don't defend it Migs).

Go Jets!
