Eat My Sports: And we have sputter off

Week one of the NFL season is in the books, and it’s time for us all to rush to judgment about everything. Time to revise all the picks and justify everything after one week. Well, if you did this every year in the NFL, you’d be wrong about almost everything. However, there is one fact that I can tell you about the 2010 season just from watching one game: the Jets are coming nowhere close to the Lombardi Trophy.

The defense was fantastic, don’t get me wrong, but your offense has to be able to do something. Well, the Mark Sanchez led offense did:

  • 6 first downs
  • 60 passing yards

  • complete inability to have any sort of continuity

Pilots: they’re sometimes drunk, they’re sometimes lifesavers, but they always for some reason call themselves “captain.” Chinese pilots are no different. They are humans like the majority of people you know.

Apparently, back in 2008, nearly 200 Chinese pilots had lied on their resumés. Typically, if you apply for a job in China and you lie on your resumé, you are taken out back and executed, but the Glorious People’s Communist Paradise of China showed mercy on these errant aviators. In fact, a good amount of them were allowed to retrain and are back in the air flying today!
