What a year 2010 was for the New York Jets. They started from humble beginnings as one of the most underrated teams in the NFL, then transformed into a group of arrogant, pompous, egocentrics that grabs more national headlines than the Hilton sisters did in the early 2000's. The Jets endured a DUI arrest, a scandalous texting triangle, a sexual harassment case and relentlessly over-analyzed a handsome, Mexican bachelor for 6 months. 2010 sounds more like a season of the OC than a professional football campaign for the Jets (remind me again why I have season 3 on DVD). Recently, Rex Ryan's ability to put the 'foot' back in football has raised eyebrows and, once again, raised questions about the professionalism associated with the head coach and his staff. The upper management in New York is just starting to realize why background checks are an integral part of the hiring process in contemporary society. They are also simultaneously figuring out that despite what people say, judging a book by its cover is the best way to go about life in terms of making decisions about people. It is the foundation by which relationships are built. How many really ugly friends of the opposite sex do you have? Zero, right? Me too. So the Jets decided to buck societal norms to hire an overweight, foot-fetished nymphet who laces his everyday speech with licentious profanity. Sounds like they would have been better off putting Artie Lange in charge. Is he still unemployed?
With all the incidents that have surrounded the Jets this season, it seems like football has actually become the distraction in the soap opera taking place in the New Meadowlands. There aren't enough Mary J Blige Cd's in the world to convey the message of her single, "No More Drama", to the New York Jets. As fans, we are tired of hearing about it. I would rather watch a 3 hour documentary on the UCONN women's basketball team than see any more tidbits of coverage on the Jets and their flubbered forerunner. But with the Bears playing the Jets on Sunday, unfortunately it's inevitable. Normally, any time in which sexual preferences and personal fetishes are intertwined into NFL interviews, I'm all for it. Imagine if we could get insight into whether Jake Delhomme has ever actually slept with a woman? Or, think about finding out that Wade Phillips is fully interested in bondage? That's entertainment! Look at how much fun the Jets have sucked out of life--it's heartbreaking.
With all of that being said, it's obvious that I want nothing more than to watch the Bears steamroll the "other team" from the Big Apple this weekend. Not to mention, if the Jets lose, their season is virtually over. Personally, I would rather see the Jets season come to an end rather than halting world hunger. Let the Bears eat!
As for Pick of the Day, the Pulse Man is looking to rebound from the double defeat he suffered at the hands of St. Johns and the Dallas Mavericks earlier this week. For tonight, the Pulse Man is taking San Diego State on the moneyline over the Naval Academy.
Pick of the Day: San Diego State (-3) vs. Navy- SDSU, moneyline
Record:(41-30-0)
Now I'm done. Rack me
