I guess beating Indy wasn't that big of a deal

Interesting that they leave out the fact that Scarnecchia worked for the JETS between New England and Denver, and that the Superbowl walkthrough issue is still "allegedly".

I say Jon beats up kids. No, I have no proof of this absurd charge and it will be rightfully dismissed, but would anyone still use "allegedly" when referring to the spurious charges? Of course not. So why does ESPN think it's ok?

I don't beat up kids. But I do sacrafice kittens to Cthulu, show up to elementary school plays and heckle, and prank call members of the clergy.

When were they sane to begin with? Their coach does bad standup routines and they're one great moment was provided by a man who wore panty hose on TV.

TBA- on the bright side, you can root against officials. Or you can mock John Gruden and his bizarre comments. It's fun for the whole family!

That's the one good thing about GLM not posting that much any more. I'd be stampeded like a straight midget in front of a Twilight book signing.

Sure, the Patriots have often scraped the bottom of the barrel while looking for motivational fodder, but this attempt by the Jets may be the most absurd yet:

Earlier this week, there seemed to be a respect-fest between the Jets and Patriots, with each praising the other’s play and 9-2 record.

Jets coach Rex Ryan, though, didn’t feel like the Patriots were being sincere.

“I know they say we are a great team, and I see the sarcasm,” he said yesterday. “Well, they are going to find out if we are a great team or not, I can tell you that much.”

Asked where he sensed sarcasm, Ryan continued.

“I just sense it, because they all have the same comment,” he said. “That, ‘Well, we’ll just say this and this.’ We’re coming. We’ll show up and see what happens.”

Some of Ryan’s players felt the same way. Fullback Tony Richardson said he saw Patriots sound bites on ESPN and wasn’t buying what they were saying.

“I heard a few guys talking how great we were, and they never give us credit, so that’s a bunch of bull,” Richardson said. “It is what it is. Playing a little Jedi mind tricks, that’s fine. You can talk all that stuff, but bottom line, you’ve still got to play the game. Doesn’t really faze me too much.”

Defensive end Shaun Ellis said the Jets’ experience under coach Eric Mangini, part of Bill Belichick’s coaching tree, taught them to be wary of taking the Patriots’ comments at face value.

“We know they try to feed us a lot of stuff they really don’t mean,” Ellis said. “It’s kind of like, you take it, but you’ve got to look at what’s underlying it.”
