but was wondering if your getting psyched about the Jets' opener tomorrow? Oh definitely! <ng> Growing up in NY, the network gestappo has always blacked out any other game while the other NY team plays. We don't have a choice but to watch the Jets. (Actually with my subscription to Dish Network I now get the West Coast feeds (along with the East) for the 4 major networks so usually I get to see whatever they are watching in Los Angeles. So typically I can pick and chose from at least 6 games. Not bad since Direct TV's Sunday Ticket costs about $240 per season where this deal with Dish Network is almost free. I typically get the Raiders and 49ers along with the big games of the week.) So I've been an observer of the Jets through the bad years and have enjoyed watching them win more recently. The Jets vs. Miami is a great rivalry with very exciting games no matter how bad or good either team is during the season. Tonight's game against the Skins has special interest for me. As a Giant Fan, I can't help but hope to see Washington get stomped on. I take special joy in seeing that team struggle. They give me a bitter taste in my mouth and hope Steve Spurrier never figures out what is wrong with his team. I hope he gets 10 more quarterbacks to try each week. The rivalry between the Giants and Redskins goes back far. We are talking football here. In real life the players are probably a swell bunch of fellas. We are all one and the same, etcetera, etcetera. But put them in uniform and it breaks all the rules of peace, love, understanding, and nature. For that Sixty minutes on the time clock, those guys are the scum that sits at the bottom of the most polluted puddle in DC area. I want to see the Jets beat them badly. So badly that the Skins will be afraid to even step on the field the following week. So badly that it makes their little twerp of an owner say more stupid remarks on camera. So badly that their pride hurts like a migrain headache during bass- drum practice. Perhaps it is now becoming evident that I have not had my coffee yet this morning and have to go to Manhattan... <g> Need to meditate... Just kidding about most of the above, but I certainly would not be disappointed to see the Skins lose this one. I notice Washington picked up a lot of the Jets players from last year. Watch for Levernious Cole (Yeah, my spelling might be way off...) He's a good WR that the Jets hated to lose. There are a few others there as well. The Skins also have a group of great defenders. Luckily for the Giants, the Skins haven't figured out how to harness all the talent on the Defense. I bet Vinny throws a lot to his ol' favorite Crebett tonight. I enjoy watching him catch. They also have Randy Moss' kid brother Santana who is maturing and turning into a fine receiver. It seems that the Jet's defense may be a bit weak this year. We'll see. Hopefully Ol' Vinny has some life left in that arm of his. He certainly is a sitting duck compared to Chad Pennington. -Clappy P.S. We'll have to bet a few megabytes in the Giants vs. Rams game this weekend. Should be a good one. That game might even get WharfRat to stiff about over here. However the Biggest game for me this Sunday will be the Mini Packers against the Hudson Valley Knights. I'm running the defense this year and hope our kids shut 'em down. Converting sweet second and third graders into Terry Tate and Warren Sapp for an hour each week is not the easiest thing I've ever done...
