BBB Betting On The Jets

So, what have the mighty media whores of the Jets done this season?

Amassed a stellar 3 – 6 record.

Lost their last three games in a row.

Lost the last two games by a combined 58 – 16 score.

Registered the following stats:

21 sacks
7 fumbles
9 interceptions
-53 point differential

And now the players beat up on a guy who has a total of 33 plays all season, a better passer rating than your starting QB, a matching team average for rushing stats and, oh by the way has none, ZERO, of the said turnovers listed above?

Really?

Now lets contrast this with another 3 – 6 team which is equally media friendly.

The Washington Redskins:

They have the following stats: (note: very similar to the Jets and – like them – have lost three in a row)

A -22 points differential
21 sacks
9 fumbles
5 interceptions

And despite a perceived tossing in of the towel by the head coach after their last loss, does the team throw anybody under the bus?

No.

They vote their QB offensive Team Captain. I’m not sure I can remember the last time a rookie was voted team captain.

Coach Shanahan certainly can’t.

I wonder why I feel a lot more comfortable betting on the Skins than I do the Jets?

Rex and the Jets lose the Circus Label

Are the Jets really that good and is Rex really that smart to have duped us all with their pre-season performance – or lack thereof?

Have the Redskins started the next QB-ing MEME? Griffining!

Griffining !!!

I take my hat off to Mike and Kyle Shanahan!

They game planned around Robert Griffin and his talents.

The result was a stunning win and performance by the whole team.

They should get the game ball this week.

It seems even the Democrat Party and Bill Clinton want to catch some of that Kevin Ogletree popularity.

His fantasy stock ownership has risen from a paltry .4% to well over 21% in less than one week!

Guess I should have picked AP over CJ in the draft. Sorry I doubted your recovery time dude.
All the experts were putting McFadden right up there with the rest of the best. OK, well not quite the best, but still a lot higher than he should have been. There are a lot of really upset McFadden owners out there today.
Tampa learned how to tackle!
Miami still Sucks!
Matt Forte is still pissed.

Oh and speaking of hate and discontent.

With lots of Fantasy Leagues (including mine) with bonuses kicking in at 300 yds per game for QB’s . . . Flacco’s Stats: 21/29 for 299 yards. Seriously dude, you couldn’t get 1 more yard? Really! Sheesh.

The Real Quarterbacks of New York

Mar 262012

Yes folks, let us all welcome the new reality TV show “The Real Quarterbacks of New York”. After a couple false starts and leaked news / video clips the producers of this new show, the New York Jets, officially kick it off with a media news conference introducing their newest co-star; Tim Tebow.

The other co-star, Mark Sanchez, is no stranger to media attention and the glamour of the show and is firmly entrenched as the bumbling prima donna of the sitcom. With his temper tantrums, and frequent off field activities with wine, women and song, he has a firm hold on the starting role; for now.

Tim Tebow brings a new world order of sorts with his own brand of ethics, on field and off field drama, and heroics. In addition to his football talents and innate leadership talents, he is also known to dabble in the art of healing hands and exorcisms (of sorts).

When Brian Dawkins missed playing time last season with a pinched nerve in his neck, he shared an encounter with Tebow that few were witness to.

“In our Bible study sessions, when my neck was pretty bad and I’m hurting, (Tebow), along with our chaplain and (Broncos director of player development), Jerry Butler, laid hands and prayed on me pretty good,” Dawkins told FOX Sports “They brought snot and tears to my eyes and all that type of good stuff with prayer.

Snot and tears to your eyes!

Now that is entertainment!

So now we have the start of a brand new Reality TV season with The Real Quarterbacks of New York” playing out in front of us on a daily basis.

Mark Sanchez will continue to swing childish taunts to his teammates. Tim Tebow will win them over with his natural healing and leadership talents.

Mark Sanchez will continue to swing in the nightclubs with his lady friends. Tim Tebow will be seen swinging golf clubs with Trump on the golf course.

Tim Tebow will be moving in right next door to Mark in The Donald’s very own private community.

Yes folks, pull up a seat, get your tissues ready, pour yourself a drink and get ready to watch! This guarantees to be a fun filled action packed season of “The Real Quarterbacks of New York”.

I wonder if Tim’s locker will be right next to Marks as well?
