SMOKEY BOB

Mangini is fired!!
Syonara!!

A thought on The Horrible Jets

I don't care who agrees or disagrees with me, but Mangini and the coaches should be fired as early as today. I know the players are the ones on the field, but coaches have a responsibility to make the right moves and these guys just don't know how to do that. I also wish Woody would sell the team to someone who has a football background. The Mara's, the Rooney's, those are owners who know football. Leon Hess and Woody Johnson have money to own a team, but they have no football sense. Tannenbaum should go too. This team will never win another Super Bowl, until they get REAL football people to own and run this team.

Doomsday Scenario?

This is like a movie script, but with a potential for a not happy ending for the Jets. Don't get me wrong, I want to see the Jets make the playoffs, but the scenario is setting up for something else. Consider this: The Jets get Favre.
Chad is released and signs with the Dolphins. The first game of the season, Chad has a chance to beat the Jets, but falls short. If the Dolphins had won, you would have heard the words revenge, payback etc. But this Sunday's game has much more at stake. Chad can knock the Jets out of the playoffs. Consider this too: if before the season, someone said to Chad about these games, which scenario would you like better, you don't have to be a brain surgeon to figure which one he would rather have. I will be there Sunday with my usual tailgate crew, and hope for the best. I hate to say this, but the tailgate party may be the best part of the day.

A bit of hockey...

With all of my recent talk of football, I will just mention this about the Rangers. They had a 4 goal lead last night only to squander it against the Craptials and lose in OT. Now the Flyers (GRRRRRRR)are only 2 points behind them.
WAKE UP RANGERS.

Now that I have calmed down....

The Jets are a joke. I have been watching them since 1967. I have had season tickets since 1983. Yes there have been some good seasons, but the majority have been bad and if they don't make the playoffs after being 8-3, this will be one of the most disappointing seasons ever. Mangini has to go as well as Schottenheimer. Favre will probably retire, so next year the QB situation will once again be up in the air. This is a sorry franchise. I wish Woody Johnson would sell the team to someone who knows what the hell he is doing!

3 Words

THE JETS SUCK!!!!!

Forever Young

Well, to take a break from sports here, I have to say a word or two about the concert I went to last night at Madison Square Garden. Neil Young with Wilco and Everst. Never heard of the 3rd band, but they had a nice Pink Loyd quality. Wilco, I had heard of, but never saw. They are most excellent. Jeff Tweedy is amazing.
But now to a fellow by the name of Neil Young. He rocked the place out. Just toal gonzo on stuff like Hey Hey My My, Cinammon Girl, Cortez The Killer and other rockers. It was a long show too. He first didn't come ontill 10:00 and played till 12:30. I am glad I took today off. Thank goodness for Rock and Roll!!!!

WHEW!!!!!

Yours truly, Smokey Bob, just got back from today's Jet game. As usual a great tailgate party, with the usual suspects. However the sloppy Jets nearly blew this one and are VERY LUCKY to have won this game. Maybe it's me, but ever since they beat the Patriots and Tennessee, it seems they are not giving the same effort. The last 2 games they lost proves that. But I am glad they won. Now it is time for a nice hot shower and a hot meal and watch more football.

What's In A Name?

All I will say is this. The Mets got a pitcher by the name of Putz. He better do good, cause I can hear it now....."So how come the Mets got this Putz of a pitcher?"

Not good...

The only thing I can say after today's Jet game is this,
To paraphrase Tony Bennett, The Jets left their brains in San Francisco.

Moron!

Being that I am a Jet fan, I will only deal with the recent moron on this team. Giant fans can discuss that other moron in their blogs.
Shaun Ellis should be suspended for his marijuana possesion. He is a professional athlete and should know better. Plus, his timing is also questionable, since the playoffs are around the corner, and if he is suspended, the Jets will be without one of their best defensive players. The NFL has an anti drug policy, and since the last time I checked, marijuana is still illegal. What is wrong with these people?
