Boogidy Boo!!!

As if this team wasn’t scary enough, according to our superduper undercover spy in Hempstead*, the Jets were practicing today in Halloween costumes.

Although Mangini had determined that giving them a day off wasn’t going to happen, he thought that providing a “Hawaiian Shirt Day” type of diversion might be helpful for the hapless Jets. What fun!

We were told that the day culminated in a parade with awards for best costumes and then according to our source, “the players even had the chance to knock on assistant coaches’ doors and ask for more plays for their playbooks.”  We’re sure Brian Daboll and the gang saw the guys and thought they looked so cute, they stuffed a couple extras pages into their notebooks much to their mom and dad’s reluctant OKs.

Here are a few of the costumes in which some Jets showed up on the field today. From what we hear, the entire defense was all going to show up as the Invisible Man, but that was shot down by the coach.

If you have other scoops on costumes that were worn today, definitely let us know in the comments.

Darian Barnes (Black Panther) — A classic choice by this comic book junkie, BP was one the first black superheros.

Jonathan Vilma (Wolverine) — J-Vil thinks he has superregenerative powers … we wish it were so!!

Leon Washington (Mighty Mouse) — Heeere I comme to saaave the daayyy!!! The littlest playmaker on the Jets picked a costume that seems to fit his role, too bad the problems Mighty Mouse fixes don’t really matter.

Chad Pennington (Leon Trotsky) — A tad too obtuse to get his message across? Probably. It was that or “Random Dude With Knife Stuck In His Back.”

Anthony Clement (Britney Spears from the VMAs) — His physique most closely matches hers at this point, so it was a natural and culturally relevant choice.

Adrien Clarke (Casper the Ghost) — This one is sort of self-explanatory I think …

Abram Elam (SCUD Missile) — Indiscriminate destruction of all in it’s poorly guided path.

Ben Graham (Jacko) — An homage to the fellow former Aussie Ruler, instead of punting and holding kicks, he threw giant batteries around and yelled OI!!!

Bryan Thomas (Circa 2006 Bryan Thomas) — Ahh … those were the days …

Nick Mangold (Grizzy Adams) … What? You think it’s too easy of a costume for the bearded one? He’s been working on it for almost two years!!

McCareins (The Incredible Shrinking Man) — Apparently, more a self-statement on his behalf than a real costume from JMac.

Victor Hobson (Master Chief from Halo 3) — While wearing this costume, believe it or not, Hobson was actually slower in practice than normal.

David Barrett (NFL Player) — You might as well dress the part!

*That statement could or could not contain actual truthiness.
