J-E-T-S: Just End The Season

Scott Paparcuri Live:
How Does This Affect Me?
J-E-T-S: Just End The Season. : Just End The Season.
Why do J-E-T-S fans spell the word JETS. To prove that he can. Typical
Jet fan: A 34 year old volunteer fireman lives with his parents. He
works at a deli while he is waiting for the results of the police
test. He drinks! ALOT! Drinking helps him cope with being him. And he
LOVES his J-E-T-S!

I give the Jet fan credit. He certainly is not a front runner. He is
loyal. He is passionate. He is also usually overweight, drunk and
angry. “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son” – Dean Wormer. But now the J-E-T-S are in the AFC Championship game. Uncharted territory. An incredible run. I give that team credit. But they must lose this week. And they will lose this week. Why? Because that’s what the J-E-T-S do. They lose. And no team is better at it. How does this affect me? Drunken J-E-T-S fans are everywhere. They are loud, sloppy, disruptive and a little scary. A few tips:
1) STAY INSIDE: The J-E-T-S fans are dangerous people to be around right now. They live to drink, co*cblock and fight proudly wearing their uncomfortably tight, autographed Wayne Chrebet jerseys. This week the J-E-T-S fan will be drinking Jack Daniels from his father’s liquor cabinet instead of his usual pint of Georgi. DANGER!
2) DRIVE SAFE: Right now there is a J-E-T-S fan driving drunk without a license in his mother’s car. Be careful out on the roads. Drunk driving arrests have quadrupled in Long Island over the past 3 weeks since the J-E-T-S began their improbable journey.
3) DISCOURAGE ELABORATE PLANS: The J-E-T-S fan is talking about flying to San Diego for the Super Bowl. In this economy? Who needs that kind of financial stress on a roofer’s salary?
4) PARK NEXT TO A SHOPPING CART: Many J-E-T-S fans are calling in sick to work this week.When the J-E-T-S fan doesn’t show up for work, it affects all of us. I have to walk 50 feet to get a shopping cart because “Sully” isn’t there to retrieve them.
5) WATCH YOUR HUSBAND: People who normally chill with the fam on a Sunday are now gathering together to watch the J-E-T-S. All it takes is one drunken J-E-T-S fan in the room and your husband is engulfing funnels of Meister Brau like “Frank the Tank” in Old School. Never Good! Domestic violence calls have risen 1000% in the Tri-State Area
over the past 22 days. J-E-T-S Just End The Season. PLEASE! If for no other reason than to shorten the lines for those of us who buy cold cuts at Stop and Shop.

MTV VMA Awards 2009

Monday, September 14th, 2009


2009 MTV video awards highlights and moments that made the night.
Repeat host Russell Brand goes from overly offensive to utterly boring.
Janet Jackson pays a moving tribute to her brother.
Lady Gaga gets gory on stage
Eminem and Tracy Morgan team up for a much needed shot of hilarity
Kanye West steals the mike…and Taylor Swift’s thunder – The event of the night went like this: As per usual, Taylor Swift was shocked, humble and gracious during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video saying she had “always dreamed” of what it would be like to win a moonman. Unfortunately, West was equally shocked and grabbed the mike to declare his vote for Beyonce. There were no winners here as Swift looked ready to cry, Beyonce looked horribly embarrassed and West looked like a big fat jerk. Making the moment even worse was that producers cut Swift off from finishing her speech once West left the stage.
Beyoncé keeps it classy
In the end, Kanye West went home happy as Beyoncé took the award for video of the year for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).” However, it was Beyoncé who stole the show this time around by inviting Taylor Swift onto the stage to belatedly finish her West-captured acceptance speech.
