The "Close But No Cigar" Episode of POTW - May 10, 2006

Recommended Posts

Holy cow!

Not one, but two perpetual "also-rans" came very, very close to breaking their POTW cherry this week. But alas, it wasn't quite in the cards for either of them. So sorry, try again next time. We do, however, have a first time winner of POTW this week.

Despite the fact that this post is yet another rehash on the story-telling skills of the Jets former bozo head coach (you know, the guy with the BBQ), it was to ogood to pass up. This will be the last - unless there is another to ogood to pass up - POTW that will be awarded on the topic. Soooooooooo, congratulations go out to Thor99 for his award winning post this week. The winning post was:

You see, a football game is like a burnt steak. Two sides to a steak, two halfs in a game. You always put your steak in the middle of the grill, you always run up the middle. If your defense spends too much time on the field, you're gonna get burned. If your steak spends too much time on the the grill, it's gonna burn.

It's like my daddy once told me. Broccoli is like cauliflower, only green and different. I took that to heart, and that's how I live my life to this day.

Congratulations again to Thor99 on his first POTW win. The other posts considered this week were:

For now, to earn your vBeads, please send your photos to greenbeans@jetnation.com and cc maxman@jetnation.com for quality assurance purposes. We'll "see" (wink wink) y'all real soon!

The ump said to me, it is not catcher's interference because the ball was hit foul. I laughed. The truly funny part is that they called it a strike.

So for the 1st 2 pitches the catcher should just lunge at the batter. 2 free strikes. Couldn't believe he called it like that. I said of course he hit it foul, the catchers glove hit his bat.

The Jets had more holes to fill than Jenna Jameson.

Dude, if you can't see the direction that Mangini and company are taking the Jets, you are completely missing the boat.

As usual, Herm's right hand man or as Herm refers to him, This guy next to me, Dick Curl came in and stopped the melee, ironically just a few seconds too late. As The T-Bone burned.

Herman Edwards did make a great speech after this incident that made everyone forget about what had just happened to The T-Bone and Gunther's face. Carl Peterson who was on hand gave Edwards a contract extension on the spot.

Sean Salisbury(Fitting last name for Herm's cooking rep) is praising Edwards for not letting a bad situation get worse.

I agree with Sean. Herm knows how to handle a bad situation that he was responsible for and still come out the hero.

Beans must have been hitting the bottle early on Wednesday to completely miss that one.

That was funny as hell.

No one nominated the damn thing. It'll be in the line-up for next week for certain. Now pardon me while Jack D, Jose C, and I settle the rest of our business from Wednesday.
