THE FRONT PAGE AND GET SOME OF THE BAD NEWS. BUT I FOLLOW
SPORTS, NO MATTER
WHAT IT IS: BASKETBALL, FOOTBALL, BASEBALL. WHATEVER IT IS. AND
I'VE WATCHED VERY CLOSELY. IT'S NOT ONE OF MY FAVORITE TEAMS
BUT IT'S REALLY FUN TO WATCH, AND THAT'S THE NEW YORK JETS. NEW
YORK JETS, YES. NEW YORK JETS. COACH RYAN, HE'S GOT A PROBLEM.
HE HAS THREE QUARTERBACKS. SANCHEZ. HE'S GOT TIM TEBOW. HE'S
