Jets fans, tell me, what kind of a taste does this leave in your mouth?
Patriots owner Robert Kraft visited the set of Mike & Mike this morning, who were on location at Patriots Place in Foxboro, MA for tonight’s most anticipated Monday Night Football game between the Pats and Jets.
Maybe it was because Kraft compared both Greeny’s hairstyle and allure with the ladies to that of Tom Brady (both untruths, right ladies?), but somehow he got Greenberg, a Jets fanatic, to put a Brady jersey on over his Namath jersey. Golic could simply add an oh no.
Make sure you tune in tonight for what could be the signature game of the 2010 regular season. Levy already predicted that the ratings will eclipse every single MNF game in history (save for those featuring the Dallas Cowboys of the 1990s). I’ll go as far to predict that tonight’s game will bring to end Darrell Revis’ 48-hour Twitter hiatus, for sure.
Brief update on the gutting situation at the old Giants stadium – not in reference to Rotund Rex per say – as the Jets and Giants get set to move into an enormous new building next year.
According to the ad, the unit is in excellent shape and was used by both teams during games for injuries, physical exams for Giant players, World Cup Soccer, College football games and all other events which required diagnostic imaging services.
Not sure how old it is, but it looks old.
So if you know any lucrative radiologists – they want 4 Gs for this bad sally – who are looking to wow their patients with fun facts like, this is where Dave Meggett got screened after Bill Romanowski tried to rip his finger off, pass it along.
On September 14, 2009, the great Patrick Swayze lost his battle with pancreatic cancer and passed away too young at the age of 57. Swayze had a prolific acting career, one that inspired his devoted fan base to believe that if anyone could beat this disease it was him (Swayze played a bank robbing surf ninja and villainous sky diving enthusiast in Point Break. Cancer? No problem, compadre). He was diagnosed in January of 2008 with a sickness that most people will succumb to in under a year – he held on for 20+ months. During that time period, his 1989 film Road House was the most broadcast movie on American television in the past year according to Rolling Stone – airing 45 times on AMC, A&E and CMT. Maybe you were lucky enough to flip it on and catch a riveting scene like this…
In lieu of burying Swayze with Dalton’s medical dossier, each Tuesday during football season I’ll be awarding one player the “Pain Don’t Hurt” Award to honor Swayze’s memory. This week’s recipient…Before we get to this week’s award winner, let me just say one thing: dammitall.
One week after Frank Gore rumbled for…well, let’s be honest, what I care about is that he rumbled for 40 points for my fantasy team, Gore pulls – as LL might say in an NFL ad spot – a Frank Gore and goes down for 3 weeks. The curse of the Pain Don’t Hurt Award strikes again.
These recent unfortunate events* for both myself and the San Fran Niners (who become more tragic every week it seems) does make it easier for me to select a player this week from my most hated franchise in the league – the New Jersey Jets.
Mark Sanchez stayed efficient, went for 171 yards passing and two TDs, including that unreal 14-yard rushing TD that was full of both hard-nosed determination and rookie poor decision making.
We’re gonna give Mark the award (cause I’m sure as hell not giving one of these to Favre. Not in this lifetime), but since it really grinds my gears the Jets are a shuttering 3-0, I’ve also got a foolish pic of him up on the SB Facebook page – GO CREATE-A-CAPTION!
*In no way am I rooting for anything physically unfortunate to happen to Mark Sanchez that would jeopardize his playing career, or even further jeopardize his ability to grow a mustache. If, the PDH Award can in anyway cause him to get scolded more (check out: Jets scold Mark Sanchez for putting San-chize at risk with head-first dive), well that I’m all for.
