Everyone Has Confidence in the Jets?


It's week one and you're making your survivor league pick. You win you move on you lose you're out. You get to choose from any team in the NFL, so what to do. Do you pick the Patriots, who definitely are going to win so that you can assure that you move on to week 2, but then you can't use them anymore. Or do you pick a team with a bit more risk to save the juggernauts for later. Well the above picture shows the distribution of picks on Yahoo's survivor leagues and not surprisingly the Patriots are first but, at least to me, it's surprising how much confidence the nation has in the Jets. Enough confidence to make them the 4th most confident pick.

Perhaps its my limitless pessimism, but until I see the Jets win a few games this season I'd stay far away from utilizing them in a survivor league. Favre should be a considerable improvement and on paper the Jets should make a push at the playoffs, but until you have any form of proof they are still a 4-12 team playing on the road against a division rival. A division rival whom also has a new quarterback, a new coaching staff, a healthy running back squad, etc, aka a ton of unknowns.

For my sake I hope the nation is right, but I think they're pretty stupid for taking the Jets week 1. I'm taking the Pats.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
