I must admit that I wasn't able to catch about 75% of the Dolphins second victory over the Jets this season, as I was helping a relative at their new place.
I had no idea the Dolphins didn't even muster 150 yards on offense. What I did see was a team that made a final stand ON THE ROAD in a MUST-WIN game. A team that would probably tell you that it wasn't pretty (more like Marshawn Lynch-esque ugly), but they left the Meadowlands (which I have just decided to call the Ghettolands) with a win and Rex Ryan with a big frown (preferably crying, but I'll take a frown, especially when his 5 chins add to the effect).
Of course, you can't expect the Jets organization to handle much of anything with class, as has been put on prime display week after week by Ryan and his team. It makes victories over such a horrible organization that much sweeter. If I haven't admitted this already in an earlier blog post: I laugh at the Bills, but I hate the Jets. The best part about it is that Mark Sanchez and Rex Ryan make it so easy, too (as does Bart Scott and his post-game comments about how "awesome" our offense was).
That's why I love the NFL. No rankings, style points, voters, computers, BCS, or bowl selection committees. No beauty contests. Just wins and losses.
At the end of the day: a "W" for the fish and a "L" for the paper airplanes.
I must be honest again when I say that I thought the Dolphins would lose. If you had told me that we'd only muster about 150 yards of offense, I would've told you big-time revenge blowout. Surely Ted Ginn wasn't going to score two touchdowns. I mean, that's crazy.
Yes, it was crazy but wholly appropriate for the day after Halloween. Teddy entered the "Twilight (End) Zone" twice, the second of which reminded me of ex-Kansas City Chief Dante Hall. Just a ridiculous effort by Ginn.
I heard (name redacted) radio personality Mike Greenberg practically break down Monday morning upon mentioning his beloved Jets. It brought a smile to my face.
I hope all Jets fans like him did cry. I want to taste their tears (it's water, so it will also be good for my diet).
Oh, and by the way...
Teddy Ginn is still running.
