Thanks for nothin

Last season, the Jets pissed me off by signing Brett Favre to a one-year, $12-million deal. The man was done, eeking out one more season, and the Jets were building a team. Not the right time for that deal. In the end, the Jets didn’t make the playoffs, Eric Mangini was fired for going all-in on Favre and losing, and Favre retired. So the Jets are left in desperate need for a quarterback and a coach.

They’ve got both. They signed Rex Ryan, and I’m psyched about that. But Mangini left the Jets after his failed attempt with Brett Favre, and landed with the Cleveland Browns. The Jets, in their desperation, needed to trade up in the draft to be able to pick USC’s Mark Sanchez. And they did. They traded their 2nd round pick, 2 starters, and one potential starting quarterback.

And who’d they’d trade to? The Cleveland Browns. Go to hell, Mangini.
