Yes, ladies and gentleman, only on this blog, J-TWO-O, do you see two of the most important questions of our time (okay, this week) addressed simultaneously.
First, the Jets (and the Patriots). The last time the New York Jets held a share of first place in the AFC East this late in the season was 2004. And four years is a loooong time for football fans, especially Jets football fans, who are not a patient (nor a polite) lot.
But with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady still being nursed back to health by the lovely Gisele, several other key Patriots players out for at least the regular season, and the Jets, with new QB Brett Favre at the helm and just signed cornerback Ty Law (a former Patriot) on a winning streak, anything is possible, even in Foxborough.
The game will be broadcast live starting at eight tonight on the NFL Network, and on Channel 11 (WPIX or "the CW," as it is now known) in the New York Metropolitan area. And I will be watching (until I fall asleep, probably at the half or sometime in the third quarter).
As for the Governor of Alaska... Is there no stopping or shutting up this woman?! Clearly, God works in strange and mysterious ways. Or maybe He/She just got tired of listening to Ms. Palin using His/Her name in vain and just stuck on His/Her hPhones and tuned out.
Attention all male pundits, politicos, reporters, news show hosts and member of Fox News (both male and female): Please take a cold shower, lay off the Viagra (or Cialis), and stop shoving your microphones in this woman's mouth. Please? Instead, go order yourself an extra large pizza, with all the toppings, get yourself a six pack or some really good microbrew, and watch tonight's football game instead. Now that's something worth tackling.
UPDATED 11/14/08 AT 8:23 A.M.: We're number one, hey! We're number one, hey! Okay, in the American Football Conference East. Who'd a thunk it, though, huh? But the Jets managed to eke out a win over former Super Bowl champs the New England Patriots last night, 34 - 31 in overtime (though I was long asleep by then) on the Patriots home turf. Well done, Gang Green. Now onward and upward, to Tennessee and the undefeated Titans (the real ones, though I personally think it would be hysterical if the Jets wore their New York Titans uniforms next week). Stay tuned, Jets fans... (Now if only someone would put Ms. Palin in her place.)

I might be able to catch the end of the game after kids' bedtime, The Office and 30 Rock, but Laura will fall asleep at the first hint of color commentary.
Re Palin and the media: When the most prized resource is soundbites Palin is the equivalent of the North Slope. Drill, baby, drill! At least it appears that Stevens will lose his seat in the vote count, sparing us from Caribou Barbie artlessly manipulating herself into a special election (brought on by the Senate bouncing a convicted felon from its ranks).
Let's see -- no Brady. No Thomas or Harrison on defense. Three top running backs also out with injuries. If the Jets can't beat the Pats this time, they should move to the CFL (no offense to any Canadians reading).
If the Jets do lose tonight, I hope Coach Mangini makes the team watch Sarah Palin speeches and interviews every day at practice. they may not lose after that all season
Is Joe Namath kissing Suzy Kolber tonight? Now THAT's Appointment TV!
I don't think SP will shut up...she obviously felt stifled in the campaign. It looks to me that she's trying too hard to defend herself, and that is never a good thing. Not sure why she's getting so much the attention.
I won't be watching the game...Office, 30 Rock (I think my new smart girl glasses look like Tina Fey's specks) and then ER w/ the return of Dr. Mark Green.
I caught most of the third and fourth quarters, and switched off after the last Jets touchdown, reasoning that even if NE scored it would go to OT and that would be too late. The Patriots did themselves no favors in that one although the offense looked good and the defense shut down Favre for much of the half.
Go Bills?
