    I, a New York Jets fan, and a friend of mind, a New England Patriots fan, had a pretty vociferous argument over whether Pennington or Brady would have a better career. The thing is, in the moment I sorta won.

    I’m always in awe of how fantastic the nickname Phi Slama Jama was.

    Banana peels are extremely slippery. I saw one on the sidewalk one time, decided to do some science and stepped on it. I was lucky to catch myself before doing the typical cartoon spill. If I wasn’t paying attention and accidentally stepped on it, it definitely would’ve made me slip.

    When I was a kid, my mom made me shovel our elderly neighbor’s driveway.

    And your QB situation is enviable!

    I get so used to weird sports names that I never put 2 and 2 together for this one. It took my wife being in the room for one of his games and saying “wait, his name is poo-holes?” for me to actual realize it. And this was long into his career, I think he was on the Angels by that point. 

    This one was a tough read, I loudly sighed multiple times and zoned out a couple times daydreaming about what those teams would’ve been like.

    Maybe you don’t get it, 69 is a sex position.

    I might be the last person to find out that he isn’t actually Isiah’s son. I always just assumed that was the case and I guess didn’t really care that they look nothing alike.

    Damn, suddenly got dusty in here. That’s a hell of a story.

    The absolutely had it and ESPN would rerun it during some slow times over the summer. They were so awesome.

    That’s all I kept thinking while reading this story. The unbelievable stupidity is just overwhelming. After finishing this article, I had to go back and confirm that, yes, he actually told this story during a meeting with leaders of congress.

    Ugh, I hate how much I like this post.

    Reading your post is the first time that I realized his name isn’t “Brisket”. I was already working on my BBQ and Deli puns for Thursday Night.

    I wasn’t old enough for Namath or Todd, but Namath is easily number 1. I would say Vinny 2, O’Brien 3, then throw two of Fitzpatrick, Favre or Pennington in the 4 or 5 spots.

    I got unreasonably excited when Foles got released because it almost guaranteed the Jets were going to have either him or Fitzpatrick as QB this year. Before you laugh, consider this...

    Ah yes, I can’t wait for the Post’s back pages, they’ll make me feel young again. Calling him “Jeff Horny-sex” was a staple of shit I found hilarious in middle school, which is right in the wheelhouse of the Post headline writers.
