Do The Opposite

“The Costanza Effect”

George Costanza should run N.Y. Football

Watching football in N.Y. has become a garish sight. Watching the absolute worst coached and quarterbacked teams in football has become par for the course. Year after year for a decade, N.Y. teams are by-and-large out of the playoff race by the first week of October. In eight of the last ten years, both the Jets and Giants are out of contention in their division quickly, leaving many N.Y. fans scouring the league for a team we can adopt and root for because we literally have nothing. Last night’s disgrace by the N.Y. Football Giants was inexcusable. The G-men have a $140 million-dollar QB playing against a 12-year journey man in Geno Smith and looked like they were a Division III team playing Georgia. The penalties, the lack of blocking, the decision making and the blind faith in two QBs who will most likely be playing flag football at Johnny. Manziel’s new league in a few years is just frustrating for the fans but more importantly the league. When is Roger Goodall going to do something about these dumpster fires in the largest media market? After all, this will hurt ratings which will in turn hurt the television rights they sell to the networks. When is enough, enough?

The N.Y. Jets:
How many more Head Coaches, GMs and Quarterbacks do they have to hire to finally realize that whatever they are doing is not working? It is almost like the episode of “Seinfeld” when George Costanza decided to do the opposite of every inclination he had and to be brutally honest. Within days he was an executive for the N.Y. Yankees and dating a hot blond who liked the fact he was unemployed and living with his parents! ( Opposite George Costanza )The Jets should hire George and do the opposite of everything they want to do. Instead of hiring Robert Salah as head coach, they should trust in a Pop Warner coach in Piscataway, NJ who won a title last year. Instead of selecting Zach Wilson as the second pick in the draft, they should have signed Colin Kaepernick to a free agent deal. How much worse can it be? Instead of drafting Mikhail Becton (6’7” 350 lbs.) in the first round to play tackle, take a stab on Mickey from Seinfeld. He could use those shoe inserts to make himself look taller and would be injured less.

The N.Y. Giants:
While the Jets have been a dumpster fire, at least they realized after 2 years that perhaps we should bring in an expensive 40-year-old QB in Aaron Rodgers. The G-men however thought that 15 TD passes, and a 21-34 record was worthy of $140 million and are now locked up for the foreseeable future. Once again, they should have consulted with Costanza and perhaps bring in a low-priced Baker Mayfield or Geno Smith? At this point a those two are a combined 6 – 2. Watching Jones last night reminded me that no matter how you train a player, you cannot fix stupid. I am not sure what is wrong with him upstairs, but his internal clock is so bad, and he is constantly running and fumbling the football. He literally does not take a snap and count to three and then throws the ball or tuck the ball securely. Instead, he runs away thinking he is facing Wake Forest, not the Dallas Cowboys or Seattle Seahawks. How many more times can this scenario play out game after game?

New York deserves better and right now it looks like both teams will be in the running for Caleb Williams of USC and the coaches will be fired. Again. Wash, rinse, repeat. My hope for both teams is that when they fire the GMs of both teams, one of them hires George Costanza and the other hires Cosmo Kramer. How much worse can it be?
