    Did you want him to screa b/c we went up by 8?

    I thought the duo was fine and I thought they were giving us tons of credit and were very fair evaluating some of the close calls.

    Finally we agree on something Junc, or maybe you will find a reason not to, anywho I thought they were fair, they were giving Cromartie alot of credit for shutting down Moss and they mentioned how Cromartie made adjustments to how he defended Marshal, forcing him to the outside and taking away the inside.

    Collinsworth is one of the best analysts on TV now and Michaels is always great. People just say everyone is anti-Jets unless everything they say is Pro-Jets.

    Ah, but it is still possible. I was able to do it last year, but it's a pain in the ass for me to get 1050 at home.

    Use this program,
    http://www.daansystems.com/radiodelay/

    Plug in a 3.5mm male to male audio cable from the headphone jack on a radio to your microphone port on your computer. Fire up the program. Let it play over a set of speakers and put the delay to match the TV. Bingo!

    Did he ever lose to the Jets in the playoffs? Was he on that team that got beat by Walt Michaels the year of the mud bowl?

    He was. He was going to leave after that for the USFL but I don't think he ever did.

    I always felt like Al MIchaels hated the Jets but the past ten years or so that we've been good he seems to give us a little more credit.

    Collinsworth is a jerk. What aggravated me was when on the Jets opening drive he said Mangold was 'destroyed' by the Dolphins DT Paul Soliai when if you watched the replay, Mangold was pulling and barely touched Soliai as he was running by. Mangold was not 'destroyed' on the play.......just silly.

    to be honest I didn't notice; I think they're as good as it gets to be honest.

    Colinsworth sounds too smug for me. Michaels is good though. I enjoy when he randomly brings up hockey too.

    Did you see the graphic they showed of all the local NY/NJ teams and when they last won a championship? Of course my two most beloved teams, the Knicks and Jets, took up the last two spots. As I've said many many times, thank god for the Devils.

    Heh, your boy Maaaarty doesn't have many years left. You better hope that Kovalchuk deal works out for you, otherwise you may be turning into the Thrashers north when Marty retires.

    That and the touchdown to edwards where he made a turf excuse for Allen. Like leaving him on a island against a much taller better experienced receiever did not matter.

    I HATE Collinsworth! He is the worst color guy ever. I went and got my radio and turned the volume down late in the game because I was getting so frustrated with his shitty comments.

    Would it have made you feel better had Michaels called the LT touchdown like he did the USA Hockey win in 1980?

    "And LT runs in through the right side, do you believe in miracles?! YES!!! TD JETS!"

    I agree.

    I actually really like Collinsworth and Michaels...but last night was clear they were NOT thrilled about the Jets winning this game.

    They didn't even call the game ending interception....

    In the pre game they were crying about Braylon and how he should benched for the entire game. They were talking heavy shit on the Jets before the game. They would have liked to see the Jets lose. Al and Chris, Fuck you haters.

    Not with Lou in charge. That's why he did the Kovalchuk deal, because the league is more about offense now and Marty won't be there much longer. Now we have a guy in place to build around, as long as a cap remains and we have Lou we'll be fine.

    The TD was kind of anti-climatic. First down on the one.

    I totally disagree. I think Michaels and Collinsworth are the best booth team doing NFL games right now. I'll take their intelligence and lack of enthusiasm over all the false enthusiasm and blatant stupidity of the rest.

    The only thing that bothered me was the way Tony Dungy was saying he would have benched Edwards for the game yet I don't recall him saying that the Colts should have done that for Fili Moala's DWI a week before the season started. The difference is Edwards is a star and Moala is a scrub but the standard should be the same. I wonder if it's because Jim Caldwell is his boy and he doesn't care for Ryan?
