Nets Continue To Make Infamous History At 0-18

As most already know, the New Jersey Nets have made history.

They are the first team in NBA history to start the season 0-18!

The Nets got blasted by the Dallas Mavericks 117-101 on Wednesday night, ending the reign of assistant coach Tom Barrise as head coach. Barrise went 0-2 in his two games as head man of the Nets, while Lawrence Frank lost the previous 16.

Now it will be up to Kiki Vandeweghe to turn this thing around. This being a man who holds the title of General Manager in the Nets orgainization, and really doesn't do much as the GM, since it is Rod Thorn who picks, drafts, and signs all of the players. In short, Vandeweghe is a figure head, who needed something to do.

He could have easily taken over as soon as Frank was fired, but decided not to become known as the guy who was coaching the first team to 0-18. Now he can coach them to 0-19 and beyond.

This coming from a franchise that fully expects to move to Brooklyn, a project that has been delayed for over five years, and is not even close to getting approved by the city of New York. Add that to the blatant fact that the Nets believe they can be players for the services of LeBron James and/or Dwayne Wade.

One has to wonder why either James or Wade would want to play for this pitiful franchise, easily one of the NBA's worst teams to exist on the face of the earth. Just goes to show you that the Nets just don't get it and never will.

By the way, the Nets are heading toward another record. 23 straight losses. Only the equally woeful Vancouver/Memphis Grizzles accomplished that mark in the late 1990's.

Keep it up Jersey.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
