The frat party is over for Ryan and the Jets now it’s time for change

Well my fellow Jet fans the hope for the 2012 season disappeared faster than snacks in front of Rex Ryan.  In a season that can be summed up in one glorious word, “Buttfumble,” the Jets moving forward toward 2013 have to make significant changes. While  Mike Tannenbaum has been removed from his position of power, the circus that is the New York Jets continues. We can talk about the quarterback situation until I’m blue in the face, but I’ll save that for draft time. The biggest problem for the Jets is that they can’t find a GM and the reason for this is Rex Ryan. Despite two AFC championship games on his belt, Ryan’s bravado and loudmouth tendencies have worn the media and fans thinner then the club’s depth at wide receiver last season. While I do believe Rex is a great coach and deserves at least one more season to prove his worth, if it’s preventing a good general manager from coming in then Rex must go. Even if the Jets do get a good GM Ryan could be a dummy coach like Lovie Smith was for the Chicago Bears this past season. GM’s want to hire their own head coach and coaching staff, not be told this is your staff. Bottom line is the Jets have to be focused on winning, but on the football field not the back pages of the paper. This team needs an overhaul from top to bottom and the correct attitude. If not the Jet fans will leave this team faster than Patriots scored those three touchdowns the last time they visited Metlife.

Behind every Manti theres a great mystery woman

Manti Te'o like most of the country don't know what to say about the hoax

Manti Te’o like most of America is speechless about his “fake” girlfriend

My how the luck of the Irish has soured over the past few weeks. After getting embarrassed in the national championship game against Alabama the Irish are in the middle of one of the most confusing sagas I have every seen. Star linebacker Manti Te’o must have been worried that all those missed tackles against Alabama would hurt his draft stock but now he has a whole new set of troubles off the field. We’re still getting new information but this is what we know. The story began a few months again when hours after the passing of Teo’s grandmother he tweeted about the death of his 22-year-old girlfriend Lennay Kekua. While these deaths inspired the linebacker and the rest of the fighting Irish to get to a national championship there was just one problem, she didn’t exist. While it is unclear if Te’o is the victim of a sick joke or is somehow the mastermind behind the plan in order to promote himself for the upcoming draft. While we will not know all the details for a while one thing is clear and that is it will have an impact on the draft. Now teams how were coveting the linebacker who has been compared to Ray Lewis will now have to question his character and if they want to bring in a distraction of this magnitude into their locker room. Check out my poll in the link provided to tell me what you think this scandal will do to the star linebackers draft stock?
