NOW WE'RE TALKIN'!
Talk, talk, talk was all the Jets did all last week. Rex Ryan, Kerry Rhodes, Kris Jenkins. Then the game happened and the sold-out crowd talked as loud as they could, as per Rex Ryan's voicemail request. And who woulda thought, they backed it up. The Jets beat the Pats in the Meadowlands for the first time since the Mets were in the World Series. Yeah, that's long. The defense allowed precisely zero (0) points in the second half, and 9 overall to Tom Brady and his bunch. It's as great as a week 2 could possibly be for the Jets and their fans. 2-0, first place alone in the division. Plus my home-town team made it 2 for 2 on upset Perfictions. Good stuff. Here's what happened the rest of the week.
The Montauk BeverageWorks Delicious Performance of the Week:
Frank Gore, 49ers. Fantasy points, anyone? Two touchdowns of 79+ yards and over 200 yards rushing. The 49ers are starting to make my preseason outlook of them look pretty stipud right now, sitting comfy at 2-0.
- Other teams making my preseason outlooks look dopey after 2 games: Philadelphia and Seattle, (banged up QB's) Baltimore and Atlanta, (looking wow-good) Oakland and Denver, (looking strangely un-crappy) San Diego (not looking so Super)
- Teams making me look pretty darn handsome after 2 games: New Orleans, (looking Super offensively) St. Louis, (looking like my predicted-worst team in football.) Minnesota, (looking the best of an increasingly-shaky division) Tennessee (looking pretty bleak in a shaky division), New York Jets (This)
- The Cowboys stadium is pretty grandiose, as the NBC Sunday Night telecast told us 3 times before every snap of the football. The Giants escaped with a nice win, but plenty to be worried about on both sides. Such as Tony Romo treating the Cowboys and my fantasy team like Rambo treated the army in Burma.
- Sorry that clip is so violent.
- Snoozer game of the week: Redskins 9, Rams 7. The game was even uglier than the ghastly score suggests.
- Best game of the week: Probably Ravens-Chargers. Featuring Ray Lewis circa year 2000.
- Tonight's game: Miami beats the Colts, 24-20. Yeah, I went there. Chad Pennington won't stand for 0-2. This is Chad Pennington's world, we're just forkin' over rent.
