It has less to do with being preseason, more to do with being the Jets.
I'm glad that Mr. Sanchez is already a flop. Did worse than Kellen Clemens did. Our starting QB will be the lesser of two losers.

BURRESS WAS NOT CONVICTED OF SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE LEG!!!!! Please tell me why carring an illegal loaded weapon into a crowded NYC club and then mishandling said weapon should not be punished by the full extent of the NYC laws. The fact he was the one that was ultimately injured should be treated as no more than a little "salt in the wound."
If he had done it here in Denver, I would expect nothing less than the full extent of the Denver laws, and I'm sure you would want him prosecuted to the full extent of the laws of your city/county/state. Would he be spending 2 years in jail if he did that here? Probably not, but Colorado does not have a lot of gun-related problems (when compared with NYC), so I would not expect the laws in CO to match those of NYC.
NYC is and always was very strict when it comes to firearms. If Burress felt the need to carry a weapon, he should have known the laws. The fact that he understood the Florida laws (where the weapon was purchased, licensed, and where he has a permit to carry), shows he is capable of understanding weapons laws more clearly. Ignorance of the law does not excuse you from it.

sweet merciful crap! I GET IT! The crime that was committed was him ILLEGALLY carrying a firearm in NY. I do not dispute this. I do not dispute that it was illegal. I will not dispute that ignorance of the law is an excuse not to abide by it. My only contention is that the sentence of two years in prison for a first time offender seems excessive for a violation of this nature.
I'm done debating this.

^^^ nice, with all due respect...
I apologize if I carried this a little too far, but it will always make me a little mad when people make ignorant statements like "he got 2 years in jail for shooting himself" or "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

Anyways, what's the probability that Burress and Stallworth will still get drafted in at least 25% of the fantasy football leagues this year?
I hope to end the legal discussion and get the football topic back on track all in this same post.
Yes, our legal system is effed up. Back in 1962, a bunch of smart lawyers got together and wrote a criminal code that could be adopted by every state, making the criminal laws the same all across America. That model code was not adopted by any state at all. State legislatures developed their own different criminal codes, and that's why you get such a disparity in what constitutes a crime and how they are punished from state to state. That's why Stallworth gets a slap on the wrist and Plaxico gets a harsh sentence.
The same laws apply in every state for how banks must treat checks and how merchants contract for the sale of goods, but that's boring stuff. When it comes to the criminal law, there are high-profile cases and politics involved, and that makes opportunities for legislators to get their names in the paper.
Anyway, is the ACC better than the Big Ten now? And is Notre Dame overrated? I say no to the former and yes to the latter.

Burress and Stallworth...Vick, I have read about some DBs and DEs in jail too. Does that bring you memories of a movie about former football players in jail playing against the correctional officers?

I think all professional athletes that commit crimes should be put in one prison that has it's own NBA and NFL team. The players that are sentenced to prison are forced to play on the team, and all revenue produced by the team goes back into the prison system. Make the assholes pay for their own (and others) incarceration.
Wow. That's an awesome idea! I think this should be incorporated into the Dleg's presidential campaign.

Yes, the ACC is better than the Big Ten and yes Notre Dame is overrated.
There are only 3 teams from the Big Ten in the top 25, Iowa, Penn State, and Ohio State. By the middle of the season there will only be Penn State and Ohio State.
There are 4 teams from the ACC in the top 25, Virginia Tech, Georiga Tech, Florida State, North Carolina. By the middle of the season I would expect that Clemson and Miami will move into the top 25. The reason the ACC is so underrated is becomes the teams are all on the same level. They beat each other up in the regular season so you don't have any team that can make it into the National Championship game. Last year the ACC sent 10 out of 12 teams to bowl games. I don't know what the stats were for the Big Ten for bowl games last year.

Penn State could very well end up playing in the National Championship game.
And that is very sad.

^They still have a shot to tie the Bucs record for most losses in a row. You have to admire that level of consistent ineptitude.
