Wow and Wow and Wow!!

Well. After 2 horrible weeks, the Jets won...albeit a nailbiter to the end. Sanchez played well, including that naked bootleg on 4th and 1 which was a GREAT call. Defense had some issues...like giving up 378 yards and again time management was not so good, but it is a moot point. I am glad they won and certainly feel much better today than last week.
Oh yeah...hate to be a Giant fan this morning. And I am not gloating. As a season ticket-holder for 28 years, I have sat through many a Jet meltdown, so that is why I said that and can relate.

This is NOT Good

The Jets, who two weeks ago were tied with the hated Patriots are now 2 games behind them. First that horrible Monday night game where the hated Patriots spanked them 45-3, and now this past Sunday when the Dolphins (GRRRRRRRRRR) beat them 10-6 in horrible rain. They better get their shit together and FAST. They have Pittsburgh and Chicago on the road, before coming home for the final home game against the Bills. All I can say is OY!!

Music..for a change

I meant to write this yesterday, but was too busy watching football. This past Friday and Saturday, Electric Hot Tuna played the Beacon Theater in NYC to celebrate Jorma Kaukonen's 70th birthday.

New York Rangers

Well, being so caught up with the Jets, I haven't written about the Rangers in a while. But Thursday and Friday they swept the home and home against the Ice-Landers. The game Thursday at the Nausea Mausoleum was a sloppy game but at least they won. Last night at the Garden was a nice shutout by Lundqvist. Let's hope they continue the good hockey.
