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 ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

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...
