Life is meaningless and full of pain.\u00a0\u00a0 At least on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Jets and the Giants did it to me again.\u00a0\u00a0 Two more losses.\u00a0\u00a0 Horrible losses.<\/p>\n
The Giants lost their first two games, but at least they were competitive.\u00a0\u00a0 They hung tough in those contests, even had a shot at winning or at least taking the lead late in the game.\u00a0\u00a0 Not today.\u00a0\u00a0 Today the G-Men looked as bad as the Jets.\u00a0\u00a0 The 49ers crushed them.\u00a0\u00a0 A debacle, start to finish… and what was worse, they lost to a backup quarterback and San Francisco’s junior varsity defense.\u00a0\u00a0 Depressing.<\/p>\n
Come the afternoon game, the Jets were miserable again.\u00a0\u00a0 The season’s first two losses were hideous, but this was the worst one yet.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Adam Gase needs to be fired.\u00a0\u00a0 Jets ownership thinks he is an offensive genius, yeah… but you know how you can tell if a coach is an offensive genius?\u00a0\u00a0 Their offenses score some points.\u00a0\u00a0 The Jets are getting worse, not better.\u00a0\u00a0 And Sam Darnold, our heralded quarterback of the future, is regressing.\u00a0\u00a0 He threw three INTs this afternoon, and gave up a safety.\u00a0\u00a0 He was supposed to be the best prospect in his draft class, but right now he is looking like the worst.\u00a0\u00a0 Gase is supposedly a “quarterback whisperer.”\u00a0 I have no idea what he is whispering to Darnold, but it isn’t working.\u00a0\u00a0 Looking at the schedule in the weeks to come, Gang Green could easily go 0-8 or 0-9, unless they win one soon.<\/p>\n
Most of the year, I work seven days a week.\u00a0\u00a0 The exception has always been Sundays in the fall, when I take off to watch NFL football.\u00a0\u00a0 This year, that is starting to look like an exercise in masochism.<\/p>\n
