Jets football GAMEDAY!

Johnny loves scheduling quirks and we sure have one at the New Meadowlands today. The Baltimore Ravens make a second trip to Jersey in back-to-back weeks, last week vs the Giants and this week vs the woeful Jets. Last week the Giants beat the Ravens 16-10 after which Odell Beckham Jr. had sex with a kicking net. This week we think, though they have lost three in a row, the Ravens should be favorites.

Sure, there are signs that this is one of those games the Jets rise up, score 31 points and get a special teams TD or a huge day from someone, seemingly every NFL team has one of these games a year where it all comes together. The Baltisnores have only scored four more points than the Browns for heavens sake. Surely the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets can do something there to take advantage. Their defense hasn't been great but this offense they are playing today is middling at best. Middling with a really good QB who could suddenly take advantage of a bad Jets D whereas the chances of the Jets QB (Geno Smith at press time) suddenly coming up big and thrashing an average Ravens defense are much less.

The Jets are smelly and the Ravens less so. Trust us, nobody wants the Jets to start winning games than Johnny. They are in danger of somehow taking Johnny's Browns' #1 overall pick. The Brownies are 0-6 and the Jets 1-5. Too close for comfort, the Jets and anyone else with one or two wins needs to win today and certainly the next couple weeks. The Browns have worked too hard at being this bad and that #1 pick is theirs. Therefore:

New Jersey Jets 11

Giants and Jet--er, Giants football Gameday!

The Jets are off until Monday, screw them.

The Giants are home today, all alone in last place in the NFC East where Philly and Dallas don't look so shitty after all. IF the Giants are to make any kid of charge and move up the standings, it HAS to start today. The Ravens are in town and they just fired their offensive coordinator so Joe Flacco will be going through a new offense at the New Meadowlands today. The Giants have to make a stand and they get a 3-2 team to try with. The G-Men are slight favorites but the way things have gone one gets the feeling they'd actually feel better about things being an underdog today.

Eli Manning and Flacco are both Super Bowl winning QB's who are off to terrible starts. Both have thrown for 5 TD's and 4 INTs. Not really Super Bowl stats BUT the Ravens did get a game vs Cleveland in already so that probably helps Flacco's numbers. As you can see from the team stats below, these teams on paper are pretty even-Steven:

Two even teams but the Giants are at home and it is a glorious fall day so there will be no weather issues. Big Blue HAS to win this game today if they want to keep pace in the division.

New Jersey Giants 30
Mordor Ravens 24

If you're kicked out of an NFL game peeps, get ready to go back to school

The NFL has decided that drunken louts, or maybe just regular louts need some schoolin'. Should a patron get kicked out of the New Meadlowlands (again, we're not getting paid to promote a corporate entity), or the Patriots home digs you'll need to attend a class and pass a test to be allowed the "privilege" of seeing NFL football live.

Look, we're all seen people who make us uncomfortable at sporting events. We've seen it again and again and again.

Is a class really going to make someone behave better?

But Johnny, the NFL says if you don't take the class you can't go to another game. Yeah, right, pull this one, it plays jingle bells. If you want tickets to a game yet you can't access your regular season tickets because the privilege of paying The Ballclub a personal seat license has been revoked there are a myriad of ways to get them, no class needed (hey a little joke there).

Again, the NFL uses fairy dust on a real problem and then tells everyone they are out ahead of said problem. No, they are not. Johnny quit going to NFL games at the end of 2008 after years of enduring years of loutish and drunken stupidity (In Detroit and Cleveland) which became so bad one afternoon in Cleveland Browns Stadium he physically had to punch out drunken toads who became violent after using racial slurs after pouring beer on Johnny, his wife and an African-American couple next to them. Getting to the point where you must physically protect yourself and your wife was the last straw. Think those group of guys who pulled that are having any trouble seeing Browns games?

It ain't worth it, class or not. The NFL has a horrible problem they refuse to address, booze inside the stadium after hours spent drinking outside. When you want to discuss THAT NFL then Johnny may consider going back to an NFL game. The inmates run the asylum at these events and threatening a fanbase with a bad behavior class will change nothing. It only gives the NFL a fallback.
