Joe Namath II So it looks like the AFC East is fun again, yay! It's hard not to get caught up in the excitement with the Faverererer trade to the Jets but, folks, you know who the real loser is in this entire deal? It's the man himself. Yes, that's right. To wind up with the Jets and to know that your market worth is a "conditional" 4th round draft pick? Yipes! I honestly don't know if he's going to be a good fit with the Jets lineup. They've got a terrible run game and now they're going to have to depend even more on the pass game with Favre. I dont even know who's on the team these days. Coles? Cotchery? Martin-or did he retire already? They're going to have to have a great backup QB also and I don't see it in that guy Clemens. As far as his surroundings go, I think he'll be able to handle the NY media and fans alright. And you can probably even compare the frozen tundra of Lambeau with the muddy swamp of Giants Stadium which can get pretty frozen during our crappy winters--so he should have no problem adjusting. I think this will give rise to another NY-Boston rivalry with the Patriots, and it'll probably last for a while if the Jets improve. I've been watching the Olympics and there was a moment where they showed Amanda Beard and some kind of crazy swimsuit that swimmers are wearing this year. I wondered what other new tech gear is out there and I found this: http://tech.msn.com/products/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=8251075 I think my favorites are the discus (disci?) and the bball jersey. It seems like R&D for olympic gear is just as crazy as the Pentagon's spending on military weapons. In a related story, I was reading about this: http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/08/11/invisibility.cloak.ap/index.html How awesome would it be if they combined the olympic swimsuits with an invisibility cloak? The possibilities...
