The Anti Favre Scorecard

Looking at the newspapers and websites the past few days, those weakly leading the Anti Favre Brigade are:

The guy (from Newsday? Someone correct me if wrong. I'm lazy) who said the Jets would be 5-3 with Pennington too. I would go so far as to say 6-2 or 7-1. He would have beaten Oakland and I would say NE too. He also neglected to mention that the Jets would still have what is looking to be a 2nd round pick. I'll give him a 5 out of 10 for being anti-Favre. He kinda hid behind a pro-Chad perspective

and the Guy from the AFC East Blog on ESPN. He says the Jets are a running team (2 out of 10 on the scathe-meter). He says Favre is overrated but "not bad" (5 out of 10). I beg to differ. He says Jenkins is the MVP of the Jets (1 out of 10). Speaking of Jenkins, someone named illish79 on the ESPN Blog comments referred to him as a "hairless bear". Well done

This is giving me an idea to actually be more vigilant in monitoring who is the most Favre-scathing among journalists. The winner will get some kind of award, if he actually cares. I suppose we could also open this up to commenters or blog followers. We'll see how long that ESPN Blog guy keeps it up. I suspect ESPN is going to neuter or spay him sooner or later. If a national writer wins this competetion, what has the NY media got left? They got nothing if they are not irrational and harsh. It really would be an upset.

Election Night

It's Election Night suckas, which means we get to vote someone off the Jets (I wish).

Gonna woop it up 'Bama-style (that's a double entedre if you are clued in to the lingo of the DC youth) on Capitol Hill for the Dork Super Bowl (Sorry, ripped that off some dude named Fritz at the Washington Post). I wasnt really political until Tundra-spice (ripped that off Ali Baseball Cat) arrived on the scene.

Now that I am done ripping witty things off other people, please vote in the polls I added to the left.

Favre is only capable of screwing up once a week, so my material runs out by Sunday night. If I had more time and the NHL package, I'd consider starting up www.sidneycrosbyisabitch.blogspot.com

This is not the WGAFL

Phil Simms said the Jets showed him a lot. I'm going to put words in his mouth here: "The Jets showed me a lot. Specifically that they can overcome a huge deficiency at the QB position. Time after time Leon Washington makes something out of nothing on a 1 yard pass, fumble, or botched hand off. He also frequently returns kicks very far after Brett Favre picks that have been returned for TDs. The defense stepped up today and accounted for 10 points. It is remarkable how they can win games week after week. Well except for those games against Oakland and the Tom Brady-less Pats."

The Jets can be so much better without this bumpkin playing quarterback. I revise my earlier statement that the Jets offense has become Madden '93. It is worse. They have removed the C button from the Genesis controller so Favre can only focus on two options on half of the field.

Brett, this is not the Wrangler Grab Ass Football League. It is 11 on 11, not the 5 on 4 (Brett is the automatic QB when he plays with his buds, much to even their shagrin). This fundamental difference means that receivers such as Jericho Cotcherry might be fucking covered STEP FOR STEP.

Now we will hear cliches like "There are no easy wins in this league" and "There is no such thing as an ugly win" in rambling press conferences for another week while we sit back and watch the negative pick that Green Bay paid us to take Brett off their hands escalate from a 4th rounder to probably 3rd by now and maybe 2nd any week now.

Game balls go to the 21 guys on both sides of the ball not named Brett Favre, and maybe a couple on special teams.

LC didnt get the memo...

that the O is supposed to go 3 and out and get the D in there to score some more points. Great catch on a poor throw to keep the drive alive after he failed to make a great catch on another poor throw (and decision) prior.

Oh well, taking a break now. Jets seem to have been moving the ball in a rare moment of clarity for the idiot

The best offense is a great defense

I think usually it is the reverse, but the Jets D has taken it upon themselves to score TDs because the bretthole can't. It's a tectonic (sp?) shift in modern football theory.

Thank you Abram Elam. And a belated one to you too Revis, although you failed to advance the ball the final six yards after the hit and fumble recovery. You are going to have to step your game up

Thanks for the 3 points Bills

Way to capitalize on that big forced fumble by Revis there...

1st and goal from the six-ish: Brett doesnt catch the snap and feebly lunges forward for it while Leon Washington bails him out. That is becoming a theme this year.

2nd and goal: Some bullshit where Brett locks on to half the field and holds the ball too long

3rd and goal: Same shit as second down followed by a scramble and throw away

Of course the announcers dont say anything bad about Favre. It is good Bills coverage.

Maybe if we had a QB with an IQ higher than that of Sarah Palin we could be more creative to counter the Bills coverage, but we don't and we can't
