THE SANCHEZ-BOT

Word on the street is that Jets starting quarterback Mark Sanchez, who hurt one knee a couple games ago, then for fun, hurt the other knee last game, is said to have been tossing the ball around briefly in practice before going to get his knees worked on.

He's probable for the game this Sunday in Tampa Bay, though he'll be wearing TWO knee braces. He's worn one on his old trick knee he hurt in college, but now he'll be wearing TWO.

He'll look like a SACHEZ-BOT.

(One-legged Sanchez-bot, from his college days @ USC)


When asked if any QB's have worn 2 braces in a game before, Jets coach Rex Ryan said Joe Namath...

And Miami legend Dan Marino...

Two GREAT quarterbacks. BOTH however wearing braces so big they look and move like robots AT THE END OF THEIR CAREERS. NOT something you want your 23 year old rookie doing YEAR ONE.

One big hit he can't escape, or because he flinches in anticipation of knee-agony and BAM. There goes our 50 million dollar California golden-boy.

I say rest him a game. Let the dood heal. Not to mention he's not taken full repetitions with the team in practice. He's been inside using the thigh-master. (and rightfully so)

Let Clemens run the offense and that awesome running game, peppering in some long throws that he's got the arm for. I saw him lead the Jets to victory over the Steelers last year at the stadium (the only game I got to that year - was before my dad got 2 upper deck season tix) and he did great. He's got the stuff enough to run the show.

Get well Sanchez and God Speed. We need you for the long haul. Rest up for the Falcons, Colts and Bengals. Clemens can take on Tampa. (they're 1-11)

But if Rex plays you, I prescribe this (as fan doctor). Run down to Ybor City before the game. They'll fix you up REAL good. You won't feel a thing...

(those of you who know Ybor City, you know the deal. Others, here's a clip. I leave the more racy clips for you to explore...) Ybor City Clip (3:47)

GO JETS. BEAT TAMPA.
