Live Blogging the Jets

Before we start, congratulations to the Afghan people! There may be something to this democracy thing after all. It is heartwarming to see a long suffering people so optimistic about their future. Allah has a nice piece here. But there's also this.

There's also other election news on the other side of the world. The Australians--God bless their conservative hearts--have reelected John Howard as Prime Minister. To one of America's staunchest allies, Base10 says thank you.

Drudge has an interesting item here. It suggests that Sean Penn sent a scathing letter to Trey Parker and Matt Stone about their upcoming "Team America" film. Apparently Penn is not content only with burdening us with his own stupid political positions but now seems to believe that his should be the only celebrity opinion to which we are exposed. God bless you Scan Penn! Without your intervention, I might have become confused and voted for Bush.

The game begins shortly...

UPDATE

First Quarter:
Kickoff to Lamont Jordan followed by a couple of Curtis Martin runs. 1st and 10 at the 50 -- another Martin run by Martin for 3rd and 3. Trick play fake to Martin and end around to Santana Moss for The first. Sack--wait Ican't do a play by play.

Fine drive by Pennington only to be stuffed in the red zone and have an FG attempt go wide. Bwaaaa!

Fine drive by Bledsoe as well but he gets sacked and then the Bills get called for a Trip block. Bledsoe runs and gets slammed short and Bills punt.

Jets go three and out and woof a punt out to only their own 45.

Second Quarter:

Great play for a loss and Bills set stopped in 3. All John Abraham.

Jets stalled a little and needed 3rd and 15. Chrebet completes for 1st down and draws a late hit and an extra 15 yards. Long to Moss who was interfered with and the Jets are first and goal. TD pass to Baker, it's now 6-0.

Fast Bills possession but it ends with a punt to the Jets 15. Great Jets drive culminating in a long completion and a fumble. Doh! Baker again I think.

Jets drive in the closing seconds of the half leads to figgie. Score now 10-0. Unfortunately Base10 is out of juice. More insightful comment tomorrow. Who am I kidding? It'll be more of the usual blather.
