This cracked me up, good spoof of the classic VH-1 talking head shows and at the Jets expense. What’s not to love?

Bart Scott just got released by the Jets. I’d say thanks for the memories but I’m not thankful. But I certainly enjoyed this video even at the expense of TFB.
Today we’re excited to welcome Joe Caporoso of the great Jets blog Turn on the Jets to the podcast, for a discussion that was sparked by this article last week:
The Fellowship of the Miserable: How Boston Sportswriters Got So AwfulBoston Articles
We’ll discuss the role of the media in Boston and New York and how we see our blogs fitting into the scene. We also assure Joe that we won’t bring up the Buttfumble.
5 Keys for Patriots vs. Jets
The Patriots are coming off one their most embarrassing losses in two-plus seasons, and who better than to help them refocus their efforts than the good old Jets? A solid win over a divisional rival could be just what New England needs to get on track. And once they do get on track they’re going to reel off a lot of wins and be very tough to beat. Just the kind of game the Hoodie ordered!

It just feels like piling on at this point, but this had me LOL’ing for real.
Mark Sanchez making the AFC title game in his first two years is akin to you letting your kids win at Connect Four twice in a row. It’s really cute to watch, but then it’s finally time to DROP THE HAMMER. He’s not a real quarterback. He’d be awesome at being an actor PLAYING a quarterback, but as an actual quarterback, he looks like a boy among men.
Jets and Dolphins offenses will attack Patriots much differently
One of the things we’ve learned this preseason about the Dolphins and Jets is just how polar opposite their offensive philosophies will be. The Jets will feature a return to the ball-control ground and pound, including using Tim Tebow in a variety of Wildcat and short yardage situations, while the Dolphins are going with the no huddle and trying to play fast.
The question is which philosophy is the right one to take down the Patriots? Everyone knows that the division has gone through New England for the last decade so if you’re not specifically trying to take down the Pats you’re not really trying.
There’s no question that the Pats pass defense has been a weak link over the past few seasons. Though the Dolphins don’t feature an elite quarterback at the moment, and have a collection of, in the words of Jeff Ireland, “a lot of 3, 4, and 5 receivers” but no clear 1’s or 2’s, there have been quite a few no-name offenses including back up quarterbacks who have thrown all over the Pats D, just look no further than Dan Orlovsky and the Colts last season.
But there’s also no secret that the Pats have gotten away from their run stuffing 3-4 base defense personnel. They will still use the 3-4 as they did on the fly against Tebow the first time they saw him in 2011, but there’s a clear lack of run stoppers like Richard Seymour and Ty Warren on the roster now. Could the Pats transition to more of a nickel-front base expose them to teams who want to run it down their throat?
