When you give up 2 draft picks plus two players for one troubled receiver mid-season you are doing so with the intention of getting a big-time player, someone who will make a difference. Or, if you’re the New York Jets you do that trade for Braylon “Stone Hands” Edwards. This is the same Edwards who led the league with 16 dropped passes last year, but sure, he’s probably over that…

Don’t Throw it to STONE HANDS
After receiving a ton of negative attention for eating a hot dog on the sidelines during the Jets game against the Raiders this past Sunday, QB Mark Sanchez has made an effort to atone in the court of public opinion. So he went out to the local A&P and purchased 500 hot dogs and 500 hamburgers and enough buns and rolls for all and donated them to the Community Soup Kitchen in Morristown, NJ. Now, I’ll happily rank on the Sanchise because you know, he plays for the Jets, but for this one moment that’s a pretty nice thing to do. Well played rook.

“Somebody offered one up, and I grabbed it,” Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez said. “I tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet enough. So I shouldn’t do that. It won’t happen again.” His offense? The young quarterback was caught by CBS’ cameras mustarding up, and then chowing down on a hot dog during the game. Sure, playing the Raiders isn’t THAT challenging, but that seems to be really rubbing their noses in it.
“I want to apologize for that,” Sanchez said. “I just wasn’t feeling very good, couldn’t eat much before the game. I just felt a little queasy and stuff, and toward the end of the game, I probably should’ve eaten one of those bars or something.”

Eric Mangini Hates Pig Tying
So this is random, from the New York Times:
Jets Coach Eric Mangini is one of the most cloak-and-dagger wielders of the National Football League’s injury list. The phenomenon peaks with one of the league’s most common injury areas — hamstrings — which have been pulled, strained or otherwise aggrieved 1,154 times among the league’s 32 teams since 2006.
Amazingly, the Jets have apparently had only one hamstring injury in Mangini’s three seasons. It belonged to the former receiver Tim Dwight, whose malady was listed less specifically as “thigh” almost every week of the 2006 season except for Week 4, when it snuck in as “hamstring” before scampering back.

Marshawn Lynch Gets Us All Horny
With Brett Favre and the New York Jets in town, this week’s game was a big one for the Buffalo Bills to cement their place on top of the AFC East. The fans of Ralph Wilson Stadium were pumped up and emotions were running high. Of course, you know what happens when emotions run high, hormones start pumping. Hence the security officers responding to a disturbance in one of the ladies bathrooms during the game. In the stall? 29 year old Alicia Venneman and her 31 year old boyfriend Jeramy Kemper who were having sex. Ah, the cool crisp air of a Buffalo Sunday, the smell of brats and stale beer surrounding you and of course, the romance of a 35 year old stadium’s ladies bathroom, what better atmosphere could you want. Throw in the simple beauty of Marshawn Lynch’s grills and the handsomeness of Ralph Wilson and I’m impressed that Buffalo fans don’t ALL hump at the game. With raw animal magnetism like that being thrown around, I’d imagine that there should be thousands of new Bills fans in 9 months.

Jets Fans Party the Best!
Jets fans, already showing poor judgement in actually being JETS fans, are clearly diseased in the brains. Take for example this smart person who parked their car in the Meadowlands’ lot and headed out into the game. Unfortunately for them, they parked their car on top of smoldering coals! Good thing too because I’m almost positive gasoline and charcoal are best buds. I do however LOVE the dude hanging out enjoying his cigar and surveying the scene, now THERE is a man who knows how to enjoy the finer car fires in life.
