[The following isn't directed at all Jet fans. If you are able to read this message and comprehend it, you probably don't fall into the blanket statement.]

I was just pondering, in between classes, the exact ratio of mentally competent, sane Jet fans, versus those who utilize a football team as a creative outlet for misery and contempt. I'm thinking 50-1 is a solid ballpark hypothesis.

some ESPN crap

Ha, ha, ha. ESPN kills me. Honestly? I LOVE it! They actually toss out statistics at the bottom of the article, in a sad attempt to lend credence to the latest mindless spewing of everyone's favorite amateur sociologist, Gary Sheffield. Seriously, how lost is ESPN? And how insulting are these comments to everyone besides Sheffield? [Latin Americans, executives of every ilk, the entire sport in general] You know if ESPN HAD any journalistic credibility, one of their columnists would absolutely RIP Sheffield for these moronic statements in the coming days. But, I'm not counting on it. After all, ESPN isn't in journalism business, if that were the case, they wouldn't be so scared of the NFL. Excuse me, has anyone seen Playmakers? Anybody? How `bout Ron Mexico?  An in depth profile regarding the deeds of Terrance Kiel perhaps?

Bueller?    

But how can we be shocked? From the same network that informed Americans everywhere of their latent racism if they happened to hate Barry Bonds, comes another paradox:

Labeling Latin ballplayers subservient: OK. [So far]

Moronically dubbing female athletes as nappy headed hoes: Not OK.

No, Sheffield can't be fired for his opinions, but he can be taken to task with equal vigor.  

Go ahead, ESPN.

Surprise me for once.

In terms of classical pitching match-ups, Pavano versus Ponson doesn't exactly invoke memories of epic duels past. Yet, the erratic career paths of these two highly touted right handed hurlers does add a layer of intrigue to an April affair between a pair of suspected contenders.

Sigh... my dad says often, with a sad smile, that his revolution got bought and sold. I offer that it may have simply been misplaced somewhere in a sea of bong smoke, but that's neither here nor there.

I don't want to write anything for about two months, honestly. I will of course, but I might not enjoy it.  

I'm completely burnt, beat, exhausted.

 Just to get back in the proverbial swing of spring, I offer a "notes" column on the AL East. You know, something along the lines of Peter King's " Five Things I Think", without the sonnets to Brett Favre. [I'm a fan of King, but man...]
