A rather auspicious occasion, hitting the century mark here. Alert the media! Oh wait, that's me!
I think 100 episodes means we’re ready for syndication, which is where the big bucks are. I kind of wish I had something significant to report for Number 100 (or Numero Cien as Chad Johnson would say). Instead, I’ll just relay one of the fun happenings from Jetsville on this Halloween Eve.
Eric Mangini was still deciding on his costume today, a day before he takes his kids Jake and Luke trick-or-treating. The Mangini Men were all set to go out as the Finding Nemo family with Jake as Nemo, Luke as Squirt (he’s the surfer-dude little sea turtle for those uninitiated) and Eric as Marlin. But the coach started to back away from that a bit, not sure if he could pull off the clownfish costume. “I don’t think I’ll go in the whole gear, maybe just a hat,” he said. (How about a Florida Marlins hat, which would work on several levels???)
Then Mangini said he might go as a penguin, referring to his nickname among the players. That presented a whole new set of options. “I have a couple of different ideas, the Batman Penguin or Chilly Willy,” he said. “There are a lot of different avenues.”
Someone suggested he wear a tuxedo for his penguin costume.
“I just don’t know of kids today relate to Tennessee Tuxedo the same way,” he said. “I would hate to be the dad everybody is looking at, ‘Who brought this guy to the party?’ I want Jake to have a cool dad.”
It was quickly brought up that if Mangini goes door-to-door with the kiddies, he might quickly be engaged by a neighbor over the Chris Baker play. That added a whole new wrinkle to the costume drama.
“Maybe I’ll wear a mask,” he concluded. “That’s probably the safer route to go.”

Can we please get the reporters to shut their cell phones off during press conferences? I might be sick if I see Chad dance to a bad ring tone again...
Woody, The Jets need their own stadium in Flushing Meadow Park..Bring them back to where their real fan base is and give the team it's own stadium where they will have a home field advantage without all the no-shows and all those none Jet fans who refuse to cheer on the team..The NFL is notgoing to give you the funding you want and Mara wants to keep things the way they are with the Jets being 2nd class citizens in a stadium called Giants..
Sex offenders should be, should not be castrated
I've basically been doing nothing to speak of. Basically nothing seems worth thinking about. I feel like a void, but that's how it is. I've just been hanging out doing nothing.
I haven't been up to much recently, but whatever. I just don't have much to say lately. Basically nothing happening to speak of. So it goes. My mind is like a complete blank. Such is life. war I've pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning. I haven't gotten anything done today. I haven't been up to much , but oh well. I've just been staying at home waiting for something to happen, but so it goes. Pfft.
