This might be one of the most bizarre injuries ever suffered by an NFL starting quarterback.

I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad about this.  Geno Smith was pretty bad so I kinda liked our chances in week one against the Jets.  Now they may go out and get somebody decent.

That is one heck of a punch. I hope it was worth it. I would love to hear the details of what these girls were arguing about. I'm sure its completely reasonable.

I hope Geno sues that dude for everything he has left.  You have a very short time to play in the NFL and losing six weeks could kill your momentum and your career.   Sucker punches are for punks.   I get having a fight, but be a man and give the guy an opportunity to defend himself.

This is why the Jets while being irrelevant in the field of play, are somehow always on ESPN. Really ridiculous shit happens to them, like this and the buttfumble. They are relevantly-irrelevant.

Comment of the day by the coach....

The coach adds that it had "nothing to do with football" and it was something "very childish," without going into details.

Can't wait to find out what was actually said, probably a Nike vs. Adidas discussion.

You deserve it for picking a guy who's famous basically for one book which was loaded down with narcissistic self-indulgent nonsense.

Mark Twain did the "adolescent self-discovery novel" seventy years before Catcher in the Rye and managed to do it while taking on issues quite a bit deeper than whether prep school is too phony for self-believed deep thinkers.  And Twain was a hell of a lot more prolific, too.

Punching out your team's starting QB and busting his jaw to pretty much guarantee he won't be ready for the season...now there's a great way to make sure you never play in the NFL again.
