Gotta love the NY tabloids. The Jets are finished, so someone’s gotta be shot in the head. Eric Mangini? You’re outta here! Brett Favre? You’re … OK until we see who we can get to replace you. But the people who created this debacle? The owner? The nice thing about being an owner is you can’t be fired until you run the business into the ground.

I’ve been rooting for Jets since they were the Titans. I remember Emerson Boozer, Matt Snell, Johnny Sample, Gerry Philbin and, of course, Joe Willy Namath. Of course, I remember all the other disappointments. But I’m a Jet fan. A Wayne Chrebet Jet fan. A Chad Pennington Jet fan.

This year I rooted for Chad and Chad won. I hope the Jets will get back to being Jets so I can root for them again. What do they have to do? Well, start by picking a quarterback who can be counted on to not throw interceptions in December (or January) when everything’s on the line. Chad’s not good enough? OK. But for chrissakes, go find someone who is actually better than Chad. You know, better than the guy who should, by all rights, be the NFL’s MVP this season.
