When You're A Jet...
Normally, I'd react to the news that the Jets are thinking about hiring JaMarcus Russell with a quick and easy honking list of Com Oh Dee, because, um, well, those things write themselves. But really, kids, I have my limits, and this just feels too much like what the kid in the special ed class soils himself, then puts his hands in it and tries to paint. More sad than fun. A lot more.
There is, of course, a place for Russell to play football again; there always will be, because the fact is that any #1 overall pick will always have some team that wants to look at the old scouting reports and see if there's something there. If Cam Newton can have a career, well, the guy who made people doubt Newton in the first place can too, right?

During their Super Bowl over-analyzation Tuesday, the ESPN couldn’t help themselves from talkin’...
New York Jets: The Revis Debate
