Everyone has something they cling to in times of distress.
Some force for good in their life that gives them emotional support in their hour of need.
Your source of comfort may vary, but everybody needs something to hang onto when times gets rough.
I suppose I fall back on All of the Above to varying degrees.
(OK, not the last one.
No matter how many women throw themselves at me, I’m spoken for.
My desirability is both a blessing and a curse.)
The New York Jets are my shelter from the football storm.
They always have been, and nothing has changed.
If anything, this year has brought me the most joy when I’ve been most in need.
Remember the reports that said ownership wanted Aaron Rodgers benched:
They’re back.
Ulbrich said he needed to watch the film before giving an evaluation.
Ulbrich was asked if he’s contemplating a quarterback change.
…
“Yeah, I don’t know.
Rodgers declined to comment on how he’d react, saying it’s hypothetical.
Glorioski, does this ever feel good.
Just exactly what I need to help every Patriots fan through this vale of tears.
And to that I add, “I felt sorry for myself because my team had three wins.
Then I cried laughing at their terrible misfortune.”
I’ll say about this what I said when it happened to Eli Manning.
Name me another Hall of Fame quarterback who ever lost his job purely due to ineffectiveness.
Don’t cite me Joe Montana.
He missed a season with an elbow injury as Steve Young turned himself into a Hall of Famer.
Eli was the first.
Rodgers might be days away from becoming just the second.
And he and the Jets are swirling this toilet bowl together.
The 2025 draft is projected to have one of the weaker QB classes in years.
Most consensus big boards don’t have anyone going in the Top 10.
And no one until the end of the 2nd round or even the 3rd.
There’ll be no Drake Maye’s sitting at No.
3, that’s for certain.
But there was last April, which makes the Patriots failure so much more tolerable than the Jets.
With that, let me just express my gratitude to their whole organization for existing in this current state.
Thank you for just being you.
If Aaron Rodgers can’t fix you and only makes you worse, what hope is there?
