Jets Officially Suck Eggs
It's true. There's no denying it. Yesterday's 3-13 loss to Buffalo proves it. Interestingly, at least among Base10's friends, was the speculation about a quarterback controversy when Kellen Clemens was put in at the end. Jets fans cheered, but Clemens threw two picks. No speculation there. I think the big thing is to focus on next week against the 'Skins before going into the bye. The bye gives a little time to regroup and try to end the season with a bang to build for next year.

The Giants played Miami in London yesterday for an NFL first. The Gints prevailed 13-10 in what was a proverbial mud bowl. The announcers pointed out that the turf on a soccer pitch is not durable enough for pro football--no matter what they call the sport in merry old England.

The big news, of course, is the Red Sox sweep of the Rockies last night. Although Base10 was nodding off at the time of victory (I hate 8:35 starts), he was reminded by Mrs. Base10. Boston 4-3. Not so much talk about curses these days, eh?

In other baseball news, in a surprise announcement, probable AL MVP and post-season choke artist Alex Rodriguez opted out of his contract with the Yankees. The Yanks have pretty much ruled out signing him if it wasn't in the context of an extension. Speculation about where he will end up will keep the sports pundits in business the entire off-season. I find it curious, though., He had three years and $150 million left on his contract. A-Rod's a great player, but statistically at least, at 32, he will likely get worse from year to year rather than better.
