The 2020 New York Jets football team is awful, historically awful.

The 2020 New York Jets football team is awful, historically awful. In a record-setting season for scoring points, where quarterbacks routinely throw 4 touchdowns in a single game, the Jets, led by an alleged offensive guru in Adam “Crazy Eyes” Gase, only managed to throw 4 TD’s total in their first 8 games. Amidst talk of “Tanking for Trevor”, the Jets have recently managed to blow leads against the New England Patriots and Oakland Raiders in mind-boggling fashion, as they desperately cling to a one game “lead” over the Jacksonville Jaguars for the #1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. It takes a lot to out-Jets the Jets, but the Jets are certainly giving it a shot. So, let’s look ahead, as all J-E-T-S fans are conditioned to do, with our Five Fave: New York Jets 2021 Bold Predictions.

 

#5 – Jets Owner / U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. Woody Johnson Sells 50% of Jets to Donald Trump

New York Jets owner Robert “Woody” Johnson IV repays Donald Trump for sparing him the in-person embarrassment of owning the team for the past 4 years by naming him United Stated Ambassador to the United Kingdom. He fulfills Trump’s dream of being part of the NFL by selling him half of the worst franchise in the league, quite the bargain, and an excellent use for all of those “Stop The Steal” donations. This time, the league approves, remembering that blocking Trump from buying the Buffalo Bills led him on his crusade to become President and trash the league and it’s players for silently protesting.

 

#4 – Jets Hire a TV Coach

With Donald Trump now on board, he follows the only hiring practice he knows, picking people he sees on TV. The Jets bring in the coaches from the network halftime shows for interviews. Trump realizes that he has been punked by Chris Christie, when he learns that Tony Dungy is not, in fact, an Italian from New Jersey, and he is quickly dismissed as a candidate. Jimmy Johnson refuses to leave South Florida, explaining that old people simply do not move from Florida to New York, a logic that even Mar-a-Lago Donny can comprehend. Bill Cowher is convinced to resume coaching, with a $20 million annual salary. Kyle Chandler leaves the waiting room in disgust, thinking he was thisclose to getting the job.

 

#3 – Jets Trade Down, and Completely Out, of the 2021 Draft, Stockpiling Picks in the 2022 Draft

After a long history of throwing away valuable picks in order to slightly move up in the draft, only to pick legends such as Mark “Butt-Fumble” Sanchez and Sammy “Ghosts” Darnold, the Jets about-face and start dealing down. Concerned that #1 prospect Trevor Lawrence is going to pull an “Eli Manning” and demand a trade, they cleverly preempt this embarrassment by trading away the pick they tanked so hard for. Excited by getting so many things for just one thing, GM Jared Kushner excitedly trades away ALL of the Jets 2021 picks for future picks.

 

#2 – Trump Changes Team Logo to JET$, Team Colors back to Gold and Navy

Nobody likes the latest incarnation of the New York Jets logo and uniform. The design is boring, and the logo now reads JFTS, for some reason. Donny & Woody want to go back to the beginning, when they were called “The Titans of New York”, but Tennessee has the name now. They settle for the original Gold and Navy colors, focusing on Gold, Trump’s favorite color. They replace the tiny football in the logo with a bag of coins, add a $ to the team name – J-E-T-$ – and get shiny gold helmets like Notre Dame.

 

#1 – Jets Sign Sponsorship Deal with Hooters, Renames Team to New York Hooters, Changes Colors to Orange / White

Woody Johnson learns about team sponsorship during his time ambassadoring in the UK. With the “Deal” maker / rule breaker now part of his team, the New York Jets become the first NFL team to be completely sponsored, when they sell all naming rights to the Hooters restaurant chain. They change their name to the New York Hooters. They change their colors to Orange / White, since nobody is using those anymore. The cheerleaders now wear short shorts and cut-off T-shirts, as they launch buffalo wings into the crowd. With zero draft picks, and a coach who didn’t really even want to coach again, the Jets, I mean the Hooters, still Suck! Suck!! Suck!!!

So you’ve decided (or been told) to self quarantine. Now is the perfect time to catch up on your binge watching. With the news inducing anxiety and fear, and no sports to distract you, finding a way to laugh is key to maintaining physical and mental health. Here are our Five Fave Hulu And Quarantine Comedy Series:

5. Wilfred – 4 Seasons, 49 Episodes. Starring Elijah Wood, Jason Gann, Fiona Gubelmann.

Elijah Wood stars in this comedy based on a popular Australian series of the same name. Wood plays Ryan, a young man struggling to make his way in the world. That is, until he meets his neighbour’s dog, Wilfred, and forms a unique friendship with the canine. Everyone else sees Wilfred as just a dog, but Ryan sees him as a crude, surly Australian bloke wearing a cheap dog suit. Co-creator Jason Gann also played Wilfred in the original series. As the dog guides Ryan through a series of comedic, existential adventures, he also shows him how to overcome his fears and embrace the unpredictability and insanity of the world around him. Part tragedy / part comedy that keeps you guessing throughout its run.

4. Broad City – 5 Seasons, 50 Episodes. Starring Ilana Glazer, Abbi Jacobson, Hannibal Burress.

The critically acclaimed Web series `Broad City‘ moved to Comedy Central as a half-hour scripted series. It’s created by and stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer as 20-something best friends who are trying to navigate life in New York, despite that their adventures always seem to lead down unexpected and bizarre paths. They have very little money, but they are survivors who aren’t afraid to throw themselves into sticky situations, no matter how messy the end results may be. Jacobson and Glazer both honed their comedy chops at New York’s Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. UCB co-founder Amy Poehler is an executive producer on the series and joins Fred Armisen, Rachel Dratch, Janeane Garofalo, Michelle Hurst, Jason Mantzoukas and Amy Sedaris, among others, as guest stars.

3. Archer – 10 Seasons, 110 Episodes. Starring H. Jon Benjamin, Judy Greer, Amber Nash, Chris Parnell, Adam Reed, Aisha Tyler, Jessica Walter, Lucky Yates.

Archer is an American adult animated sitcom created by Adam Reed. It follows the exploits of a dysfunctional intelligence agency, led by Sterling Archer (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) and seven of his colleagues — his mother and boss Malory Archer (Jessica Walter), Lana Kane (Aisha Tyler), Cyril Figgis (Chris Parnell), Cheryl Tunt (Judy Greer), Pam Poovey (Amber Nash), Ray Gillette (Adam Reed) and Dr. Algernop Krieger (Lucky Yates). Archer’s premise evolves as the comedy assumes the standard setup of an anthology in later seasons, each with self-contained arcs, new settings, a disparate set of personae for each character, even distinct humor. It is a show full of subtle, low-key jokes and pop culture references, which demands multiple viewings to catch everything. With and endless supply of characters voiced by famous guest stars, this is a show that is infinitely rewatchable.

2. Rick And Morty – 4 Seasons, 36 Episodes (1-3 on Hulu). Starring Justin Roiland, Spencer Grammer, Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell

Rick and Morty is a show about a sociopathic scientist who drags his unintelligent grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe, created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon. After having been missing for nearly 20 years, Rick Sanchez suddenly arrives at daughter Beth’s doorstep to move in with her and her family. Her meek husband Jerry tries to assert himself, but Rick uses the garage as a laboratory, and constantly creates ridiculously elaborate inventions. He takes Morty and Summer throughout the universe and alternate realities on selfish adventures. Rick’s running commentary is delivered so quickly amongst the action, that it takes a few watches to fully appreciate every nuance and reference.

1. The League – 7 Seasons, 84 Episodes. Starring Mark Duplass, Katie Aselton, Stephen Rannazzisi, Paul Scheer, Nick Kroll, Nadine Velazquez, Jon Lajoie.

The League was created by Jeff Schaffer and Jackie Schaffer. Some friends who are all avid fantasy football fans try to balance their time between the league and their real lives. It becomes a challenge, though, when the good-natured competition gives way to a win-at-all-costs mentality, which begins to spill over into their relationships and even the workplace. The sitcom features a plethora of cameos by real-life NFL players, who play themselves on the series. With no live sports to watch, dive into a show that at least references sports. The show is about fantasy football, but does not rely on it, so even if you have no interest in that, you can still be entertained. The show is about the good old days of leagues among friends, before daily fantasy sports and money intervened, where all you really cared about was competing against your friends and giving them crap. Most of the humor is relatable to any group of friends, no matter what hobby holds them together.
