Does this 1:39 video not sum up a professional football franchise with the worst management in the game or what?! For anyone who watched the ESPN 30 For 30 Elway to Marino the other night, you painfully saw the Jets select Ken O’Brien over Dan Marino in the 1983 draft. In 2008 we watched them pick Vernon Gholston with the 6th overall pick. I could only imagine what Jets fans are thinking today with their team having TWO high picks in the first round. Will new management bring new hope to NY? Will they actually draft positions they need this year? Or will Idzik hit the ‘simulate draft’ button on his controller and go back to sleep?

With the 9th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select the backup punter from East Carolina University

With the 13th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select Matt Barkley, USC

By the way, this guy is my all time favorite. Obviously the Jets know something that the people up here don’t…said no Jets fans ever.

NY Jets Invite First Female To Scouting Combine Because They Are Attention Whores

DailyMail: A 28-year-old woman from New York is set to become the first female to be given a try out for the NFL. Lauren Silberman had never kicked anything more than a soccer ball in an organized game before she started practicing long-range field goals. Now she has been given a chance at an NFL regional scouting combine on Sunday at the New York Jets’ training facility in Florham Park, New Jersey. Speaking about her chances of getting the NFL call, Silberman said: ‘I am working hard to prepare but I am also realistic about my chances. ‘I hope my willingness to put myself out there inspires others to seize opportunities and challenges. The support from around the world has been so heartening.’ Her goal for the weekend is to kick perfect 60-yard field goals. However, the odds are against her – scouts are likely to want to see her connect on extra points and chip-shot field goals with some consistency before moving on to the heavy kicking.

Cue the circus music once again. Oh wait…it’s still on loop? I guess the Revis trade rumors are not enough press for these starved attention whores. Lauren Silberman has become the latest victim of the three ringed circus the Jets call an organization. She will never make the team. I’m not saying that because she’s a female, I’m saying that because she’s never kicked a football in her life and at age 28 she’s just gonna walk onto the field and make the Jets? Well…I guess I’ve heard crazier stories but this is far from ‘Invincible.’ She’s going up against guys who have done this for a living. But don’t get me wrong, I would actually love it if she made the team, took up a roster spot, and there was controversy all season about how to utilize her on Special Teams. Imagine Lauren coming out for an onside kick to win the game? Now that I would pay a PSL to see!

Something Actually Happened At The Pro Bowl Yesterday…A Fight Broke Out

Here’s the thing about the Pro Bowl, no one including the players want to go. They had to move the game to the off week between the conference championships and the Super Bowl because of low ratings and even then I chose to watch a Full Throttle Saloon marathon over it. So I guess the 10 fans who went all got seats in the same section and brawled out to keep the day interesting. Even the players on the field were glad to see something going on.

 

For The Second Straight Year We See How Nutzo Baltimore Ravens Fans Are

Maybe some of you remember the Ravens fan who went postal when Baltimore kicker Billy Cundiff missed an easy field goal to lose them the game last year. That guy got a run for his money this year when a woman taped her husband flipping shits when the Ravens beat the Broncos over the weekend. Man tears were flowing and a couple of children may need therapy but it made for viral video gold. I would’ve hated to see if the Ravens lost this game!

 

Tiki Barber Is Now Whoring Himself Out For A Living

Deadspin: It’s been six years since Tiki Barber retired from football, which means we’ve spent six years watching him desperately try and failat becoming some kind of relevant media personality. Having washed out of the television business, Tiki is on to much sadder things. He recently co-founded Thuzio, a company that allows regular Joes like you and me to pay large sums of money in exchange for the chance to hang out with famous athletes. You can have Ryan Tannehill (!) show up at your fantasy draft for the low cost of $5,000. Ivan Nova will show up at your party for the low price of $4,000. Thuzio is like an escort service for especially lonely sports fans. The most depressing thing of all, though, is the fact that Tiki Barber is the cheapest athlete in Thuzio’s stable. Tiki’s highest appearance fee is $1,000 for a round of golf or party attendance. Larry Holmes costs $6,250 per hour. Shit, even Tim Hardaway, the noted ex-homophobe, fetches a higher price than poor Tiki. Now, it’s possible that Tiki’s fees could be marked down as a way to make him more accessible and thus drum up good publicity for the company. Still: getting trumped by the likes of Ryan Tannehill and Tim Hardaway is sad in any context. And then there’s this: an auction for Tiki’s services as a karaoke partner. So far one bid for $350 has been placed.

Oh how the mighty have fallen! Ex-communicated from your old team, ditch your preggo wife for an intern, fired as an NFL analysis on NBC, ignored by every NFL team in the league after trying to make a comeback, a failed tryout with the NY Jets Flight Crew, turned down as a peanut vendor in MetLife Stadium, and now this. Just whoring himself out to people who have more money than they know what to do with. My question is what in the hell is Ryan Tannehill and Ivan Nova doing wrapped up in this prostitution ring? Does anyone have ANY pride left??

UPDATE: We’ve got a Tiki Barber sighting!

Why Is This The First Time I’ve Ever Heard Of The Florence Fight Club?

Walking into the emergency room with your eyeball in your hand? Getting all your teeth knocked out? Possibly dying in the arena? This sport makes American football look like soccer. I mean Jesus Christ, all this for a white cow?? Imagine what they would do for a diamond studded Super Bowl ring! The JETS sure could use a number of these guys to become a relevant NFL team again. One-eyed Willy could replace Santonio Holmes and still have a more productive year, the ripped black dude would obviously replace Bart Scott, and this dude would stand in for Mark Sanchez as well as steal all his women.

Fat Dude Reacts To NFL Refs Pretty Much The Same Way We All Did

WARNING: TURN THE VOLUME DOWN!

How this enormous human being did not have a heart attack and/or stroke and die on spot is beyond me! Just a typical McDonald’s All-American right here reacting the same way we all did over the weekend once again about the replacement officials. It’s almost as if they are taunting us now. But as I read on other sites, the NFL isn’t budging to the demands of the referees because…well…they don’t have to. Ratings this weekend were UP from a year ago and people just keep tuning in to these games. As long as that remains consistent Roger Goodell has zero reason to give in and pay these refs what they want. Is the integrity of the game at risk? Yep. But money is what keeps this train running and as long as that keeps coming in, we’re gonna keep seeing venting sessions like this all over the place!

Bikini Roller Hockey League Replaces The NHL Season

Welp, this is what it’s come down to guys. Replacement officials in the NFL absolutely butchering the integrity of the game, NHL picking up and moving to Russia, and is baseball still even going on?? Now it’s Lingerie Football and Bikini Roller Hockey. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing I’d like to see more than chicks dangling each other and going bar-down on a breakaway or chicks plastering each other against the boards but there comes a point where a man just needs normalcy in his life. And now is far from normalcy. Can’t even watch a regular hockey game, can’t do anything but cringe and fall asleep to these dragged out football games, and baseball is about as entertaining as golf right now.

Money has always ruled the world but the NHL and NFL need to treat their respective sports as a commodity and put money in to get money out. The whole lockout thing is getting old in every sport and they need to remember that they play for the fans. That’s who really loses here. It’s not about the players making millions or the owners losing money. Please the fans and the rest will fall into place.

Check Out Forbes List Of The 10 Most Overpaid NFL Players

No surprise three Jets players land on this list and I’m actually shocked Mark Sanchez isn’t on it. I get Cromartie has about 52 mouths to feed but dude, your production to salary ratio blows dick! Santonio hasn’t been relevant since the Jets playoff run a couple seasons ago and David Harris still plays? I thought he owned a used car dealership in Jersey.

EliteDaily:

The List:

1. David Harris

New York Jets

2012 Salary: $12 milllion

Good linebacker, but the second-highest paid defensive player in the league? Harris has been All-Pro once (second team in 2009) in five years.

 

2. Karlos Dansby

Miami Dolphins

2012 salary: $10.7 million

League’s second highest paid linebacker has been a steady performer for eight seasons but never an All Pro.

 

3. Johnathan Joseph

Houston Texans

2012 salary: $9.75 million

Terrific last season, but the corner drafted in the first round in 2006 has started a full 16-game season once (2009) and been named All-Pro once (2011).

 

4. Marcedes Lewis

Jacksonville Jaguars

2012 Salary: $9.6 million

Receiver’s big 2010 season (58 catches, 700 yards, 10 TDs) was his only standout performance in a six-year career.

 

5. Santonio Holmes

New York Jets

2012 salary: $9.25 million

League’s sixth-highest paid receiver has broken 1,000 yards just once, with Pittsburgh in 2009. Steelers let Holmes and his questionable attitude go for a fifth round draft pick to the Jets, who promptly gave him a five-year, $45 million.

 

6. DeAngelo Williams

Carolina Panthers

2012 salary: $8.7 million

Running back was very good in 2008 and 2009, otherwise limited contributions through six seasons.

 

7. Antonio Cromartie

New York Jets

2012 salary: $8.25 million

Corner sees a lot of action as opponents prefer to pick on him instead of Darrelle Revis on the other side.

Cromartie’s high-risk, high-reward style leads to big plays but also a lot of burn marks.

 

8. Sidney Rice

Seattle Seahawks

2012 salary: $8.2 million

Wide receiver has had trouble staying on the field throughout a five-year career, doing little beyond his 1,312-yard All Pro season of 2009.

 

9. Vernon Davis

San Francisco 49ers

2012 salary: $8 million

Tight end had 78 receptions and 13 TDs in his 2009 Pro Bowl season. Didn’t approach those numbers in any of his other five seasons.

 

10. Darren McFadden

Oakland Raiders

2012 salary: $7.8 million

Running back has played just 46 of a possible 65 games since the Raiders took him No. 4 overall in the 2008 draft. McFadden rushed for 1,157 yards in 2010; no more than 614 in any other season.
