Favre vs. Sanchez (Week 2)

Just for fun I think its time to start a a bi-weekly column where we compare the seasonal performance of the Gunslinger and the GQ Kid.

After two weeks of the NFL season I think both fan bases can be pleased with their current quarterback situation. The Jets have a QB that they hope will become a franchise quarterback while the Vikings have a QB with experience and wisdom at the helm who is an upgrade over Jackson and Rosenfels. And of course both teams sit at 2-0 despite the two QBs doing entirely different things.

In two games Brett Favre has forgotten that his greatest asset is the Arm Punt. As a Jet fan, I'm almost befuddled by his stats. Zero interceptions? 265 yards on 37 completions? Does he throw the ball down the field at all? Is he simply just handing the ball of to AP and dumping passes off to Harvin and crew? That's not the Brett Favre we came to love as Jet fans in weeks 13-17.

Meanwhile the Sanchize has started to get Jet fans very excited with two wins over potential playoff contenders. He's done so by mostly being a 3rd down god. On 1st and 2nd down Sanchez has a QB rating of 71 and 61 respectively, on 3rd down Sanchez's QB rating is 119. He's completed 17 of his 23 3rd down passes for 228 of his 435 total passing yards.

The season is still young but through 2 weeks the offseason shifting of Brett Favre has worked out well for both teams.

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.
