Cut the crap with Geno Smith (at least for now)
Emotional posting. No rational writing here. My feeling. Cut the crap on Geno Smith, media. Kill it, fans. Enough already. Like other Jets fans, I’ve been reading the bad ink on Geno Smith. It’s unavoidable. And it’s getting ridiculous. While I’m not like many other members of Gang Green Nation, passionately obstinate in their disdain [...]
Leaving the Island: Darrelle Revis takes off for Tampa Bay
Jeez. Hall of Famer. All-time Jet. Rockin’ a Yuck-a-neers lid on a private plane. One more jersey to put up on EBay. Not. Ready. For. This. Or this so much… Or…for the love of! Soooo…it’s been 24 hours or so. As you can see, I’m coping well so far. I’ve only had a dozen of [...]
Jets turn to craig’s list for signal callers
It’s gotten bad for the Jets. We’ve tried to look away, but there’s just so much wreckage. It’s OK. It’s going to be like Sandy and the Mets. Resign yourself to a few years of pain in the hopes of a brighter tomorrow. Besides all the free agent defections, and the lack of any significant [...]
Jets fans looking optimistically towards free agency (sarcasm)
I really do love Jets fans. We are such a miserable bunch. Ever the ultimate pessimists. You know what, though? It may actually be warranted this go-around. I’m pretty sure our 2013 Jets are going to be even tougher to watch than last year. That is a frightening thought. The good news is that Gang [...]
Madden candidates can say a lot about your team
Madden 25 is coming. Kudos to them for making this whole cover thing pretty much one of the great PR plays of all time. Think about it. There’s a f-in BRACKET. There WILL BE VEGAS ODDS. The winning player will undoubtedly go on a massive media tour the day he is announced as the winner. [...]
Donald Driver surprises biggest fan
We’re getting softer and less snarky in our older age. We like feel-good stories. So, on a blustery day in the Northeast, a warm-your-heart tale is just what the doctor ordered. Our thanks to Donald Driver. Driver, the lifelong Packers receiver who announced his retirement at the end of the season, is one of those [...]
Denver Mayor makes good on bet, does the Ray Lewis dance
The tradition of sports bets between city mayors goes back throughout history… or at least that’s what we’re told. Regardless, the practice seems to be getting more commonplace, creative and public in this recent age of social media and the Interwebs. Luckily for us, some politicians are seeing these bets as what they can be [...]
NFL bad lip reading is epic
This video is making the rounds, and it deserves all the pass-along “viral” love it’s receiving. Ever wonder what’s really being said on NFL fields and sidelines every Sunday, Monday, Thursday and Saturday? Well, imagine no more. The fine folks at Bad Lip Reading have done the professional football fan (and the world) a wonderful [...]
Cap crazy: New post-game interview lids for Mets
Honestly, WTF. W. T. F. The photo to the left is what one Mets blog is reporting is the latest in a specialized cap arsenal from the New York Metropolitans. Let me correct that and clarify. This is not a phenomenon exclusive to my Mets. It’s a league-wide thang. First, it was “batting practice hats.” [...]
Cowboys fan uses guns and explosives to destroy Tony Romo jersey
Let’s just close the voting on “favorite video of January” right now. This gem really speaks on its own, so we’ll keep the description and lead-in straight factual. Any personal time you need to reconcile it all, well, that’s on you. The following is a video posted to YouTube by an apparent Dallas Cowboys fan. [...]
Who to root for? An unaffiliated fan declares playoff allegiances
Well, here we are again. A Jets fan with nothing to cheer for as the NFL postseason begins (well, maybe at least one thing but more on that later). Although there is much to complain about in Jetland, our non-playoff “plight” is not one deserving of remorse. Gang Green nation is only a few seasons [...]
Jadeveon Clowney hit (that is all)
For those of you who hadn’t heard about Jadeveon Clowney, the holy-f-in-sh*t South Carolina sophomore who many believe is a future #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, we’re not sure where you’ve been. The kid has been dropping jaws since his ridiculous high school highlight reels. He’s also been wreaking havoc during his first [...]
