J-E-T-S, W? T? F?
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
The Jets just signed Vinny Testaverde.
That's what you call plugging a leaking hole with a strainer.
As both a Jet and Packers fan, I have only one thing to say:
Hello, hockey season.

Shut up, you.

Val, Vinnie's signing bonus is a year's supply of oil. That part's guaranteed, too, so they can't cut him without taking that hit on their salary cap.

Gatorade will no longer be found on the sidelines of Jets games. The new formula will be Geritol!!!

At least this time the 3rd string QB isn't really a kicker...

Can it be long before Boomer or Dan Marino are signed as well?

When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all your life . . .

Plan B if Vinny fails.

A colorblind quarterback can always smell the green.

As long as Plan C isn't Ken O'Brien...

Hey!
Try not to be so down on Vinnie! He could surprise all you pundits. He's a good fit with the coach and offensive coordinator, and his passing style matches what the Jet's coaches are looking for.
He'll also add some much-needed experience to a team with a lot of young players. Vinnie's a leader. Don't count him out just yet. And he still has a rocket-launcher attached to his right shoulder.

I said much the same thing when Vinnie came to Dallas. Then he bacame a virtual lock to throw 1-2 interceptions a game.
You have my sympathy. You can see it behind my smirk.

And thanks to Green Bay and the former NFL team called the JETS, my two fantasy studs in Amhan Green and Lavern Coles are killing me.
and say what you want about Vinne, I bet he still throws harder than Chad has this year.

Vinnie's about the same as every other replacement quarterback; okay as long as you don't expect him to actually win games.
Posted by: Brainster | September 27, 2005 07:06 PM
he was one helluva Brown

Vinnie still has a great arm, better than many staring QBs in the NFL.
That being said, he's about as mobile as an oak tree and usually crumbles under pressure when the stakes are high.
On the bright side, the Jests have a great chance of winning the Matt Leinart sweepstakes!

Welcome to hockey season.
I saw the Flyers vs. Islanders in Trenton last week.
With the new rules changes (especially cracking down on obstruction), expect a LOT of penalties. They should rename the league the National Penalty League.
It would make a good drinking game.
1 shot for every 2 minute penalty
an extra shot for 5 on 3
a shot for every delayed penalty (when there's SO many in the box that they can't start the timer until another penalty expires)
You'll be passed out by the 3rd period.
(The game DID go faster without all of the offsides calls - over in 2 hours 20 minutes even with TV timeouts)
