I got home tonight and something amazing happened. Not as amazing as say if Miley Cryus was sitting on my bed waiting to sing me a lullaby... but amazing none the less. There were THREE football games on. The Giants, the Saints, and The Jets (wamp wamp).
People have been sending me messages like, 'Yo Joe, what do you think about Brett Farve?" I've had my opinions, but I decided to hold off until the dust had settled. Now, we live in a brave new world. A world where Farve and Cheese head can't be used in the same sentence... Brett the Jet is now a reality.
Clearly from the title of this post you can tell that I don't think this is the sharpest idea in the world. Honestly, I think its a horrible idea. I think its such a bad idea, and frankly, i don't have much else to do, that I will give you FIVE reason why this is a horrible idea.
Reason #1: A man named John... last name MADDEN
Lets face it, NO ONE beats the Madden Jinx. From the minor stuff like Vince Young's first career injury, to the real freak occurances, such as Daunte Culpepper forgetting how to hit open receivers after breaking every passer record ever, Shaun Alexander's drop from league MVP to towel boy, and of course, Michael Vick's broken leg (and subsequent love of animal cruelty, which lead to jail time). Mark my words, Brett Farve WILL miss significant time this season, then the Jets will be stuck with Kellen Clemens... haha.
Reason #2: The Tom Brady section of the league, excuse me, The AFC EAST
Farve playing the Patriots defense twice a season will be as funny as watching Canada try to beat Team USA... seriously, its gonna get ugly.
Reason 3: Playing in a conference not called the NFC
I will give the Jets the benefit of the doubt here, they have a manageable conference schedule. But their out of AFC conference schedule is beast... with games against San Diego, Cincinnati, at Tennessee, and Denver, Farve is gonna be matched against some solid defenses. Except for the Bengals, who could stop the Slowskis from the Comast commercials from scoring buku buckets.
Reason #4: Your Dad's a Wide Receiver!!!!
With the exception of Jerricho Cotchery, who is merely okay in my book, the Jets receivers are soft. And Thomas Jones is not gonna bring much to the passing game. Unless Farve finds a way to run like Mike Vick at a PETA rally, that passing game is gonna be pretty bad.
Reason #5: The ghost of Chad Pennington
The Jets gave up on Chad years ago, they just happened to release him today. Its sad, because despite having a drunk erection for a passing arm, he put up respectable numbers and almost got the Jets to the Superbowl a few times. Chad is gonna be a good NFL quaterback for the right team, but until then, the Jets will pay for their poor cosmic karma they acquired from their mistreatment of Mr. Pennington. Their payment will come in the form of an over the hill, moody, drunk and spastic 38 year old from Kilin, Mississippi named Brett Farve.
If my 5 reasons don't convince you, take a look at the last pass Brett completed...
HAHA!
