I guess if you're going to lose, do so in spectacular fashion. Indeed, the Jets proved themselves to be the biggest of losers yesterday, falling to Kansas City 27-7. It wouldn't have been that good if it weren't for a Jay Fiedler engineered scoring drive in garbage time in the fourth quarter. Questions abound. Chad Pennington was close-your-eyes awful, fumbling several snaps. Coles couldn't catch a cold when a sure-to-score pass sailed through his hands. Rookie kicker and second round draft pick Mike Nuggent flubbed a field goal attempt. In short, everything that could go wrong, did.

There were some bright spots. Aussie rules football player turned punter Ben Graham was delightful. And Chris Baker the tight end seemed to be the only player that showed up at the game. Was he the only one at practice last week?

At least there are the Mets. Base10's beloved Mets proved that they can win one game out of seven on the road by dispatching St. Louis 7-2.

Indeed, the other New York teams did well too. Our crosstown cousins, the New York Giants dominated Arizona after a shaky first half beating them 42-19. Remember this is only the Cardinals, but Eli Manning showed why he was a number-one draft pick.

The Yankees also beat Boston 1-0 in a Big Unit dominated pitching duel.

Base10 won his fantasy football matchup as well, mostly on the shoulders of Marc Bulger with a little help from Larry Fitgerald and Steven Smith.

More comments on the Jets later when I read what Herm Edwards said in the post-game press conference.
