Welcome to this week's edition of Post of the Week, boys and girls, I hope you are all enjoying the best of mornings in your various places of work or play. Me, well, not so much - I work in a dark, cold, secluded basement. I feel like a mushroom, not a legume, but what can one do, right? It all reminds me of a song -

"Growin' up rusty shack,

all I had was hangin' on my back.

Only you know how I loathe

this place called Tobacco Road."

Ahhh, life in the ACC....

We're out there early today for your pre-long weekend enjoyment. :)

Here's this week's fun:

(Editor's note: I'd like to apologize to the entire POTW audience for missing this post from the 21st of March. ANY post with a good reference to dingleberries must be honored. My apologies to that dingleberry Smizzy (do I get a nom or what?))

1) I bet if you took a private vote, many here would say that some of the newer posters suck. I've had some of those sentiments told to me in private. Oh those darn PM's! I mean, if you enjoy Big Brother threads - maybe you can incorporate them in your new, super sexy, men only, private JN section.

2) I rarely bash the Jets. Jets fans, on the other hand, yes.

3) I guess everyone is "tolerant" of me. I guess everyone is "tolerant" of you too.

4) This is a Jets football site? Really? Since when do you make football related posts on the football forum? LOL! I know it's a Jets site, foremost. A football site, second. A great baseball forum. And a lively lounge act that serves as the glue that keeps the forums together. Yah, so?

5) You want me to shut up? Dude, you obviously don't know me very well. LOL! Lets turn that around a little. Why don't you stop pushing sexism?

6) What is wrong with a difference in opinion and some banter back and forth? Because you feel attacked? It's a messageboard full of dudes. C'mon, your back is covered.

7) btw - this sensitivity thing goes both ways now, doesn't it. hahahahahhaaa...

8) Have a lovely evening.

How about them new fangled sexual lubricants. They sure do a swell job.

My problem is the principle of ripping off your fans and charging them full price for a meaningless product. It's like buying a case of beer and having 4 bottles half empty because they are the pre-season beers. All teams in all sports pull this crap (except baseball) and it is a blatant extortion of the consumer. Just because the players are wearing Jets jerseys doesn't make it a Jets game, when most of the players will be working in construction jobs 2 weeks after the game.

(Editor's note: DNA, you are looking at this all wrong. Does it get you out of the house and to a tailgate? See, isn't that better?)

He looks inside the bag, calls me an a@@hole and throws it to the ground.

So, my question is: who's the a@@hole? Me, for buying him food, or him for rudely declining it? I'm thinking it's me.

I kept smashing them into the net until I finally got the hang of it. I proceeded to smash three of them over the net and hit the guy's wife. There was nothing she could do. She couldn't even get out of the way much less swing her racket. Needless to say they didn't ask us to play tennis again.

So, if you have any questions you would like us to ask, please post them here, and we will narrow it down to the best questions for our interview.

Thanks,

And this week's winner:

Yet isn't that what sports is all about? At least at one time for all of us, we believed. We just knew it was going to happen. With our heart and soul we felt like if we didn't doubt our team that they would win it all. In 1996 the Yankees were down 2 - 0 and I was called a homer for believing they were going to win that series. Sure we are all wrong much more than we are right. But that is the fun part. Believing.

With age reality might set in and wash some of that away. I just actually admire the people I see called homers. Because they represent something pure. Call me a purist but life has enough realities for me as is. Enough things that are definite. I am not saying that you have to take the company line and think of no other possibilities. But there is a lot of hate. That in itself is a problem imo.

The Jets are going to win the Super Bowl next year. I believe that. People will blast me for it, but that is okay. Because believing is what makes sports fun for me.

Congrats to our fearless Jets website weblord supreme, the Maxman, on his return to the winner's circle this week. I guess I was feeling nostalgic reading this post and it really got me thinking about how sports have changed since I was, say, 6 (1975) or so. Us late 30's peoples are the last of the fans that experienced, even if young, sports before they were the huge business machines. I miss those days, I'm sure a bunch of us do. Kids like 124 and Barton, unfortunately for them, will never experience sports without the BS. So, this post wins - it made me think about a lot of things. Congrats to you and be careful with that damned laser.

The Assist of the Week goes to both joebaby and johnny green balls, the Abbott and Costello of JetNation. Nice work with the banter this week, boys.

Special thanks to SoFla and BP for the nominations this week - these guys make POTW a lot more fun each week for us. If these guys did not make all of the nominations they both make, I'd actually have time to talk to my family. Thanks guys. ;)

That's that - hope you all have a long and enjoyable weekend. The Beans are off to Myrtle Beach, SC visit sister Bean and find Easter eggs.

Y'all be cool -

my buddy BP even nominated me for a POTW at JI...there are a lot of great posts each week and I think if a post cracks you up and actually makes really laugh out loud it should get a nomination......Greenbeans deserves about 3 or POTW noms for his comments alone in the POTW threads.....I still think Green DNA was great especially yesterday

oh yea congrats Max (fix!!)

No, he is a avid Mets fan.

Thats all he takes about at the Jets Bar.

Well he and Heelz also talk about this guy alot:

Good lord, the Mets and that sell out Jarvik in the same post. I'm a Yankee fan (why root for the JVs when the Varsity is in town) and against great medical minds selling out to advertise drugs.

How did this not win? :confused:

I'm on a roll. That's two weeks in a row that I nommed the winning post- no, three, including Alk's historic win :) and co-nominating Tabor's photochop.
