New York Jets Concede All 16 Games HEMPSTEAD, NY ? Emerging from a tearful team meeting to speak with the press, Jets head coach Eric Mangini announced today that his football team has collectively decided not to play this season, and therefore will be preemptively conceding all 16 of their scheduled games. ?The New York Jets have decided that they do not stand a chance of winning any of their games this season,? said Mangini to a shocked assemblage of reporters. ?Therefore, we have decided as a team not to play at all. We officially concede all 16 regular season games on our schedule.? http://www.bsnews.org/articles/146
To be honest I think we all knew this was coming. It's only sensible. This way we solidify the top draft choice and don't have to sit through 17+ weeks of rubbish. Fair play to them.
it's a sad day for Jets fans... unless of course they hold open tryouts. I've always wanted to play QB for the Jets.
I'm all for it Darth! As long as you can "use the force" with out getting a flag! By the way; Does your helmut meet league regulations!
hendersg: thanks! I hope people read the whole article. I think it turned out really well. kbgreen: Join me, and together we shall rule the NFL as father and son!
Good stuff! :up: I needed that laugh. Vilma sharping up his Madden game. :rofl2: But this was my favorite.
Funny stuff, but I kind of prefer the article The Onion wrote at the end of last season, in the same vein... New York Jets Finish Season January 12, 2006 | Onion Sports RUTHERFORD, NJ—Despite the doubts of many football fans, media figures, and people within the Jets organization itself, the New York Jets have indeed finished their entire 2005-2006 season. "We might have lost 12 games, our coach, and possibly our starting quarterback," said GM Terry Bradway, who called the season a "qualified success" in a subdued press conference Tuesday. "But in spite of everything, we fielded a team that played 16 regular-season NFL games. There are only 31 other teams out there who can say the same thing." Bradway would not comment on whether the Jets would be able to complete future seasons, saying that, for now, team management was concentrating on making it through all seven rounds of the NFL draft.
?I can?t believe it?s come to this, but today I?m ashamed to call myself a Jet,? said a fuming Martin. ?I was the only one in that room who didn?t vote to concede the season. I still want to run. I want to get another 1,000 yards. I?m going to contact the NFL front office to see if I can?t play all the games on my own. God willing, they?ll let me.?
awesome! :grin: I'm glad you guys like it, I made it for us. This season looks like it's gonna be pretty bad. But Curtis Martin is still my favorite Jet. He's all heart. UKJets: I love the Onion. I post links to them on my front page all the time. I had forgot they did that, but that was a good short one.
“While going winless in ’06 may sound like a bad thing, it’s actually very positive,” said Pennington. “For example, my throwing arm still feels like a bag of wet noodles swimming in jello, so I’m looking forward to another year of rehab and strength training. Plus, I've always wanted to try my hand at playing the piano, and now I'll finally have some time for that.” Tooo funny!
Just read the whole article..that is a classic..loved it..my favorite was the last line. The Jets front office promised that the team will "most likely" return to compete in the fall of 2007, assuming that they make some serious talent upgrades in the interim. the "most likely" part...lol...great job.
