So Favre has a month to learn a new system. Not the same as baseball everyone. You don’t just say “go deep and I will throw it to you.”
What happens tonight by the way? Does Clemens play three quarters? What’s his motivation?

Favre And Jets: All That Is Wrong With Sports
I can still picture Joe Montana and the Chiefs hugging the Super Bowl trophy. Juhnny Unitas “Mr. Charger” had one of the great runs of all time. Who can ever forget Joe Willie Namath guaranteeing the Rams he would play in 4 games!
Brett Favre to the Jets is all that is wrong with sports. Never mind that Favre takes on the Curse of the Jets and the Madden Curse at the same time (expect him to miss 10 games, that Madden Curse is a tough one).
What’s the point?
If the Jets win it all..so what? You won with the guy from the Packers. He will always be a Packer. He will never ever be yours Jet fans. Don’t waste the money on the #4 jersey at Modells.
For Eric Mangini, how long until Favre wants one of his guys to come in and run “his” system not this crazy Jets system you have?
You know what Jet fans get? The right to pay $20,000 personal seat licenses. Get ready for “blah blah increased expenses blah blah commitment to winning blah blah.” This is all about the new stadium. Get your wallet out, you get to see 39 year old Brett Favre learn a new system!
Brett, welcome to the Jets. I hope you enjoy going 6 and 10 and getting crucified on WFAN every day.
How Interim Is Jerry?
I couldn’t be the Mets Police last night because I was being The Police Police so I have zero to say about Monday’s game – but on the way home I got thinking:
How Interim is interim manager Jerry Manuel?
Obviously if he wins he stays, but what if the current AAA Mets wind up three games out? Does he stay? Do they hire Tommy Dodgers Lasorda? Do you want him back?
I like what I’ve seen from Jerry and hope he stays.
Major props to Jerry for being invisible when this was Willie’s team. This guy was around for years and I had no idea how feisty he was – he never undercut or overshadowed his manager.
Olympics Rough Ride Begins
First a mini-controversy with the American cycling team showing up wearing black face masks (not the bank robbing kind, the “I don’t want SARS” kind).
Now this morning a story of a protest banner being unfurled.
Although there is some soccer this morning, the Olympics Proper don’t start for two more days. Should be interesting.
I bought 7 TVs, plenty of uppers and quit my job so I can watch NBC’s coverage all 225 hours a day.

I’m losing excitement. Looks like the same thing, but on the wrong side of the street and with equally hideous parking.
