It's On! Jets RB Blasts Favre

It's probably a safe bet Brett Favre won't be very welcome back in the New York Jets locker room. Frankly, he should have stayed retired.

Jets fans are not the only ones upset with Brett Favre.

It is becoming clearer he was not beloved in the Jets locker room. Running back Thomas Jones publicly blasted his quarterback in a radio interview Tuesday. Appearing on Hot 97 FM, Jones ripped Favre for his rash of late-season interceptions.

"We're a team and we win together ... but at the same time, you can't turn the ball over and expect to win," Jones said. "The other day, the three interceptions really hurt us. I mean, that's just reality. If I were to sit here and say, 'Oh, man, it's okay,' that's not reality.

"The reality is, you throw interceptions, I'm (ticked) off, I don't like it. You know what I'm saying? I don't like it, I know everybody else on the team doesn't like it."

Favre threw three interceptions in the Jets' 24-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. Head coach Eric Mangini was fired a day later. Favre had nine interceptions in the team's final five games.

Jones said he thought Favre should have been benched.

"If somebody is not playing well, they need to come out of the game," Jones replied. "You're jeopardizing the whole team because you're having a bad day. To me, that's not fair to everybody else. You're not the only one on the team."

Jones laid the blame for the Jets' failures at Favre's feet.

"You're playing to win, you're playing for the Super Bowl," Jones said. "That's what you do all this work for ... So when you get to the wire and somebody is just giving the game up, I mean, it's just not (fair)."

Comedy Gold: 'Black Hole' Now Racially Insensitive

Oh brother. Talk about the language losing all meaning.

A special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets turned tense and bizarre this afternoon.

County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts.

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections "has become a black hole" because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.

Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud "Excuse me!" He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a "white hole."

That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

Mayfield shot back that it was a figure of speech and a science term. A black hole, according to Webster's, is perhaps "the invisible remains of a collapsed star, with an intense gravitational field from which neither light nor matter can escape."

Seems we'll never escape this politically correct insanity.

Ace links. Thanks!

Update: Looks like this crank Price lives in the land of make believe. Hey, what do you know, he believes in change!

John Wiley Price's brand of advocacy and activism can be summed up in this way: John Wiley Price addresses real issues, advances real change and achieves real results. He has earned the full respect of the constituents within his district and in the County at-large. Additionally, he has placed himself in the vanguard for those who have been historically locked out, especially for African-American people.
...
To many, he is a seeker of truth, a warrior for justice, and a visionary leader. He’s been called a motivator and a liberator.

Not to mention a kook.
