Aren’t we looking at this the wrong way? I mean ordinarily a Pats undefeated season or the Jets cross town rivals peaking at the perfect time would be totally unbearable, but at least seeing one of these teams on the losing end would dampen the blow somewhat.

And so, I regret that Woody didn’t appreciate that Leon wasn’t paying “Little Bill” that million dollar bonus money to stay around because of his satorical excellence, but because “Big Bill” only flashed his championship smiles when “Little Bill” was doing his magic act with the Jets defense.

According to at least one newspaper report, Belicheck asked if he could come back as the HCNYJ for a third time after he lost his lawsuit, but was told that negotiations were already well along to give the job to rah rah Al Groh.

Big mistake, as we know how that turned out.

(The first time the hooded one was officially the HCNYJ was for the period before Kraft extracted a king’s ransom from the Jets for letting Parcells out of the last year of his Patriot’s contract.

Before his resignation — after he became aware of the Patriot’s interest — Little Bill” had lobbied “Big Bill” unsuccessfully to have his contract reflect the then-current going wage if he became HC, not the number he signed on for three years ago. No dice, because of the numbers couldn’t be changed while the team was being sold.

Of course, there was also the element that “Big Bill” and his needle would still be Little Bill’s master.)

So, I have to give credit where credit is due and root for the Patriots because their scheme is what the Jets may turn out to emulate successfully, sooner or later.

I really don’t think that Tom Coughlin flapping his arms on the sidelines when things don’t go his way is an intelligent act. Indeed, his coordinators — particularly the defensive coordinator –are probably much more responsible for the Giant’s success than he is.

So, I pay respect to Billgenius, and hope that we will all be able to do the same when a Mangenius nails his own pelts on the wall.

YMMV

The only way to look at is this way…19-0 will last forever. If the Giants win, the story will fade over time. I can get over the Giant’s winning faster than I can if the Patriot’s win.

Belichick’s face will be shown every year and anytime a team goes 5-0, 6-0, 7-0, etc… and we will have to hear about 19-0 over and over and over…the easier pill to swallow is if the Giants win!

Meanwhile, after some Pats fans felt that the Jets struggles this year were bad karma for Mangini being a rat, now ESPN’s Jemele Hill believes that Randy Moss’ success this year after having mailed it in over the last few years in Oakland is good karma…seriously:

I thought it was irony you Americans weren’t supposed to understand, not karma. Don’t any of you watch “My Name is Earl”? Nah, me either…
