The New Apple

I’m torn about this entry – every blog in the blogosphere has already covered it, but I complained enough about the Mets apple that I’d feel weird ignoring it.  Hit Mets Blog where there’s a video of the new gigantic apple (I still prefer the old rickety one).

Jets fans need to embrace 6 and 10.

Jets fans, today I am here to help not hurt.
You are not going to like what I have to say, but it is for your long term interest.
Deep down you want to be one of the elite franchises.   You remember back to the Patriots being a joke, now look at them.   You are tired of being the little brother to Big Blue.   I am here to help.
You need to embrace a six and ten season in 2009.
Last year you went for it all and brought in Brett Favre.  It didn’t work out.   Now it’s time to learn from the Ravens and the Falcons and bite the bullet.
Don’t wait on Brett.  He’s like the hot girl in high school.  Consider yourself lucky that you got to go on a date, but you mean nothing to her.   Move on.
Either draft a QB or ride forward with Clemens, but either way move on.   Brett might give you another 9 and 7, but then what?  You’ll just be reading the same article from me a year from now.
With a new coach and a new QB you won’t be winning the Super Bowl.  It’s OK.  
Don’t think about 2009, think about how great the 2010’s will be at PSL Stadium.  Rip off that band-aid and look to the future.   Look to the Ravens.  The Falcons.  Even the 49ers with Shaun Hill and Mike Singletary are better planned at returning to glory than the Jets are now.  Another year of Brett just drags out mediocrity.   Brett is not the future.  Brett is Same Old Jets.  Coach Ryan and QB-TBD are the All New Jets.
Embrace the 6 & 10.  It may even be a 4 & 12.  It will be OK.  In 2010.

17 Years Later I’d Still Rather Have David Cone Than Jeff Kent

August 27, 1992.   I call my friend Juan from Jones Beach.  “Holy cow they traded Cone!”
 
The they was the Mets, and what they got back were two bums Ryan Thompson and possible Hall of Fmer Jeff Kent.  Thompson was just useless, Kent was one of those guys that was just plain unlikeable.
 
January 21, 2009.  Jeff Kent announces he will retire.  As I said all those years when Kent was putting up MVP numbers, I would still rather have David Cone.

Ryan To Coach Jets

Looks like Rex Ryan will be a good choice for the Jets.

I’m not going to pretend I’m an expert in NFL coordinators, but I know this – in all sports a good defense beats a good offense, and defense wins championships.   The Ravens had a good defense.  Yes you still need players, but players also need a leader to lead them to their potential.

Apparently Ryan is a firey guy. Good. The Jets could use that.  Grab some headlines. Be entertaining. Enjoy the back and forth with the media.  Look how well threatening to stab someone worked for Jerry Manuel.  Overnight he went from someone we weren’t excited about to a really fun dude.

Ryan should consider punching Favre in the nose after his next interception.  It might just be the wakeup call this franchise needs.
