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.

For fans everywhere of speaking loudly for the sake of trying to make a stale point sound important,  I’m sure you’ll all be real fired up to hear that Jon Gruden inked a multiyear extension with Monday Night Football today. Plus, they’re gonna let him be a part of like five other projects.

Via the ESPN.com wire services…

ESPN “Monday Night Football” analyst and former longtime NFL coach Jon Gruden has agreed to a multiyear extension with the network.

Gruden, who joined ESPN in September to replace Tony Kornheiser in the MNF booth, will also appear on ESPN’s Super Bowl week and NFL Draft coverage, will call the 2010 NFL Pro Bowl and will serve as an analyst for ESPN Radio’s 2010 Rose Bowl and BCS title game broadcasts, where he will again team with MNF play-by-play caller Mike Tirico.

That means multiple more years of Gruden insight (“this guy’s a football player”) and in depth analysis (“this guy’s a running back”) on MNF. Personally, I can’t get enough of his inability to keep a straight face during those rare moments where the camera focuses in on the booth. Unprofessional, yes. A clear-cut indication that he’s just tuned Jaw’s out, why hell yes.

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: Brandon Meriweather of the New England Patriots.

Last week, the retired Rodney Harrison said of his strong safety protege, “Brandon Meriweather will be putting his helmet down [Terrell Owens'] throat.”

Though Owens was held to just 2 catches for 46 yards, and no TDs by the Patriots secondary, the brand of raw aggression that Harrison, who’s apparently maintained his maniacal nature, is referring to here was best on display during that stack-up hit by Meriweather on Bills’ Leodis McKelvin during that kick-off return late in the 4th. ESPN failed to mention Swayze’s passing during the entire broadcast of the game, but they did show about 15 angles of Meriweather holding up McKelvin while his teammates ransacked him. The Pierre Woods forced fumble – recovered by New England kicker Stephen Gostkowski – and impending TD drive sealed the victory for the Pats and ripped the proverbial neck out of the Bills’ upset hopes.
