Curb Your Enthusiasm Roasts the New York Jets

Leave it to Larry David, long suffering Jets fan, stand-up comedian and overall comedic genius to take his love (errr .... angst) for Gang Green to the ultimate level.

In tonight's Curb Your Enthusiasm episode titled The Ugly Section, David takes direct aim at the New York Jets, the misery that had been their 2019 season, and life as a Jets fan in one fowl swoop, which has to make us wonder, why haven't the Jets been on the Curb more often? They're perfect fodder.

In the episode, David along with Jeff Green (played by Jeff Garlin) and Richard Lewis are having lunch with their golfing buddy Carl (played by Bobby Slayton) when suddenly Jeff checks his phone and finds out that ... you guessed it ... that Sam Darnold has mono!

Carl goes on a rant how the season is over, everyone should be fired, and that being a Jets fans truly sucks. (hmmm sounds familiar ...) 

We later find out of course -- in typically hilarious Curb fashion -- that Carl kills himself because of the Jets (and the Knicks too), leaving only a message, "I can't take anymore disappointment." David in response to the news tells Leon (played by fellow Jets fan JB Smoove) that "The Jets killed Carl" leading to a series of hilarious jabs at Gang Green.



Those jabs include David getting into an argument with Carl's wife, Veronica, over why the Jets didn't draft Texans quarterback DeShaun Watson in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft,  getting held up at gunpoint by a Jets fan outside David's coffee shop, and finishing off with another argument with Carl's wife over the infamous Austin Seferian-Jenkins touchdown-that-was-not against the New England Patriots in 2017.

"I haven't enjoyed a football season since 1969!" exlaimed David during the exchange. 

Yep being a Jets fans sucks, so why not just laugh off the misery.

I am pretty sure if  David gave himself another 30 minutes, he probably could rant about the "Buttfumble," Bill Belichick's resignation, the "Marino Fake Spike," Darnold seeing Ghosts, and Adam Gase's eyes. The material the Jets can provide at comedic fingertips in unending as we all know.

By the way free agency begins in a couple of weeks. How are the Jets going to disappoint Larry David further? We'll have to wait and see.

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...
