Jets proving to be all talk while franchise crashes
The New York Jets need to shut their pie holes. The Jets (3-6) are terrible. This is an understood truth. They've scored one touchdown in their past two games, and that was in garbage time during their 30-9 loss to the Miami Dolphins. They've proved they're all talk and no walk.

Can’t we all just get along?
I'm not a Democrat. Or Republican. I think politicians are overpaid and don't fulfill their promises. Instead of watching the debates and the candidate's inspirational promotional videos, I prefer to watch the Bad Lip Reading versions of these videos on Youtube. I don't agree with President Obama about a lot of his political agendas and views. I ... [Read More…]
