I don't mind telling you, I can't stand the New York Jets. I can't stand their loudmouth coach, I can't stand their overrated quarterback, and I can't stand their obnoxious fans.
You want some more? As a kid, I couldn't stand Mark Gastineau, and I always thought Joe Namath was EXTREMELY overrated (even though he was great as a guest star on "The Brady Bunch"). If you don't believe me, check out Broadway Joe's career numbers some time.
Having said all that, the New York Jets are great for the NFL. Their coaches and players give the media their weekly sound bytes, and who doesn't enjoy watching the league bully on national television?
The Jets are obviously talented, and I'm sure they'll be in the playoff hunt come December and January. Hopefully they fall just a little bit short. If they do, I'm sure we'll move on to the excuse-making phase of the media hype machine. Either way, it should be a lot of fun.
Sorry Man, I dig Rex Ryan. I'd play for him in a heartbeat. He knows he's not bigger than the game, unlike the Manginis, Belichecks and Parcells'ses (not sure how that plural goes) of the world who think they can be excused for their behavior and attitudes.
