Superbowl 2 – The Sequel
Jan/102
Well hello readership! All 10 of you. It’s nice to be back and how appropriate that it was just when Chino gave up on me and decided to write an article about his idol Tom Brady. Well, in the spirit of the impending Big Game and Junior’s return to J&C.com, I decided to start my own thread today.
A couple of housecleaning items. Chino was right, I was going through some personal issues, but they are being worked on or have been resolved and I think I can write on a regular basis.
Second, HELL YEAH SCOTT BROWN!! I have never heard our President’s supporters so quiet before. And for those of you who are foolish enough to believe that this is not a referendum on Mr O’s policies including weakness on terror, health care, and profligate spending, observe the next three years and then come back and tell us whether or not he was a lame duck. This guy ain’t gonna get crap passed or signed. He can still save his presidency and wind up with a little better standing than Jimmy Carter, but he will need to stop trying to kiss the right’s ass and (fill in the blank)ing the left at the same time. I digress.
Third, I am and have been a Jets fan for as long as I can remember. With being a Jets’ fan comes certain responsibilities, always yelling “J! E! T! S!” when you see another fan or watch a game, having a sense of humor, hating the Patriots (that’s an easy one, unless you are Chino and have a bromance with Tom Brady) and above all… never getting your hopes too high!! Well, let me tell you all something… even though my Jets lost yesterday, mark (no pun intended) my words, this team is going to be a force to be reckoned with! We already have the best defense in the NFL and the number one rushing offense and we get big Kris Jenkins and Leon Washington which will only server to further advance the cause of their respective functions in the aforementioned categories. Mark Sanchez has grown up right before my eyes and is poised to become a great QB. The team is young and full of talent. I love that I have seen lots of our top prospects being drafted and implemented into a “system” that is now ready to take off. The system is also something that our friend Chino does not believe in. Although it is not something you can touch, smell or see, a system does exist. It is what allows teams to do well despite injuries to the stars of the team. It is what has allowed the Patriots to go 11-5 with Matt Cassel and subsequently affording the Chiefs to suck beyond there years. Conversely it is what allows the Raiders to continue to suck even though they have had the top draft picks for about the last 5 years straight vis a vis the Detroit Lions. My question has been and continues to be posed to Chino as this, “would his hero Tom Brady be half or one quarter or one eighth the QB he has been with New England?” I would even go as far as to say that Peyton Manning is a much quarter back than Tom Brady. TB has had the supporting until now… and so he struggles. Peyton is like having a coach and QB combined. He has a laser precision and rocket launching arm AND he knows how to make adjustments like no other. Case in point, the Jets were doing well in yesterday’s game by keeping Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark under great coverage. So, Peyton leads his team out in the second half and picks up the Jets money in the bank blitz and begins picking them apart by going to Garcon and Collie which forces the Jets to go from man to man (which you can do when you have Darrelle Revis), to Zone (which you must do when you don’t have 4 Revises out there). For two consecutive full seasons Chino has made, “wait til next year” type remarks. He all but guaranteed that Cassel would fall on his face when I said he would not because New England has a system. He said that Brady would return to greatness right away. He now says that Brady would have to be a freak of nature to be able to pick up where he left off at the end of a couple of seasons ago. Okay, I guess once again, we will have to wait until next year. I do know this, Brady and the Pats will not be winning the AFC East for the next few years!
Sound off people… system or no system?!?! Chino says “what system? what… run the ball and try to score and make sure the other team doesn’t! hahahahaha”. I’m sure this is why head coaches make $ to $5 million a year. I’m sure this is why there are almost as many coaches as there are players. I’m sure this is why people who know about football say that the Great Teams are the ones who can spit in the face adversity, have a plan, but make the necessary ADJUSTMENTS. This is also why, as much as I hate to say this, unless Sanchez changes his ways and stops just hanging out, pulling his shoulder pads down so because they are uncomfortable and eating hot dogs on the sidelines, he will never be the quarter back that Peyton Manning. If you have a recording of yesterday’s or any Colts’ games, watch Peyton on the sidelines and see what he is doing. If he is not encouraging and pushing his players, he is studying the plays of the current game sent down from the birdseye coaches. If there was no system, there would be no need for a great player like Peyton to review. Just go out there and run the ball a lot and throw touchdowns right? I mean how hard could it be?
Glad to have me back!

I have to say it somewhere so I might as well say it here.
Before the NFL playoffs started, I saw the San Diego Chargers as the best team in the AFC and that they were a LOCK for the Superbowl.
Last week when the New York JETS flew to San Diego with their Number 1 defense and punishing running game, I still thought they would fall to the high powered offense of Ladainian Tomlinson, Phillip Rivers, Darren Sproles, Vincent Jackson, Antonio Gates etc.
Then they shocked the world by doing what no one but them and Rex Ryan believed could happen.
They won…
led by Darrelle Revis with his 2 INT’s, the defense showed up and proved why they were, and still are #1. Ryan executed a conservative, but winning, gameplan. Just pound the rock, don’t put Mark Sanchez in a position where he HAS to win it. Let him throw 1 or 2 deep bombs to Braylon Edwards just as a reminder to the San Diego defense to respect his arm. Screens, dump-offs, and pound it some mo’.
What does this mean? Well to this biased New York fan trying to look at it from an x’s and o’s objective view… I believe the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets ARE inarguably the BEST team in the AFC! Not the vaunted Colts as everyone screams from their firmly implanted seats on THAT bandwagon!
When last these two teams met, Peyton Manning was holding on to a slim lead and was having his troubles with the Jet D when he was pulled from the game. He will NOT be pulled from this game on Sunday, but it won’t be a walk in the park. As I said, he will have to do everything in his power to attain & keep a lead on these Jets, if he can. Rex Ryan and Darelle Revis and Kerry Rhodes and Shaun Ellis and Bart Scott have been immersed in tape sessions, remembering and planning to repeat what worked last time and implementing adjustments to do more damage to Peyton this time around. My personal fav Jim Leonhard, who in back to back playoff wins has inflicted punishing hits to opposing players that jarred the ball loose from their grip and gave the momentum and upper hand to his team, is preparing for the fight of his life and ready to do likewise to Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Pierre Garcon or whoever DARES to catch a ball in front of him!
In case you still don’t get it….
The Jets will beat Indy 24-17 and advance to the Superbowl in Miami.
That’s what I’m saying!

I know other Presidents, including Bush, have done similarly, but Geeeez man, just look at him. It’s disgusting, even the little emperor is laughing at him.

Fort Hood; Is It Terrorism?
Nov/096
I mean, what more needs to be said?
In the same hour that Hassan was killing 13 people at the US Army base, it was being reported that there were THREE shooters, 12 dead and up to 60 wounded: at that time I knew it was a terrorist act; I did not know he was a Muslim, I did not know his name. No one knew. I did not assume he was Muslim, in fact I was surprised to find out that he was. Even without all that information, at 3:06PM when Sean Hannity came on the air he said that he thought this might be a terrorist act. I screamed at my radio, “Of course it is!!!!!” Not a Muslim attack, just a terrorist attack under the definition of terrorism!
Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist. William Ayers IS a terrorist. Richard Reed was a terrorist. These are terrorist acts.
Now some of you with a brain in your head are saying, “duh, no sh!t sherlock! What’s your point Chino.”
Why won’t Obama call it as such and why doesn’t he want us “jumping to conclusions.” Why won’t the media call it what it is?
WHY?
Thank you Obama. Or should I say, MaoBama or Oba Mao as he is known in China? Thank you for once again reminding us what it feels like to have Islamic Extremists killing our people here at home. Would this have happened under McCain? I really don’t know, I can’t say yes or no, that would be pure speculation and unfair. What I do know, is that after 9-11, George W. Bush did not allow it. He made it his mission to make sure that it did not happen.
What is Obama’s mission?

Republicans make a clean sweep.
Nov/090
There is still hope, Republican candidates sweep Virginia races. Even New Jersey realizes the emperor has no clothes and it looks like Christie is going to win there as well.
