     re: .9
      Just say something very insulting (which is easy) about the Jest and
    it'll be automatic!
       Here's an example: 'The Jest are so bad, a Pats cast-off will
    probably be their starting QB'.

    Yo Waddle, the Jests are the bestest team in the AFC lEast. 
    
    There, I said something good about that Jests, does that mean that I
    can get off the .dis list now.

    I saw on SportsChannel where Blair Thomas is in mini-camp, and has no

    Hi fellow Jetsters...I have some most epic news for you all.
    
    I just found out that the current issue of JETStream is on it's way to
    me via Cliff Claven. In case you are unaware of what JETStream  is,
    it's the annual season ticket holder's newsletter.
    
    And, you are all in luck....we just recently put a scanner in our demo
    room. Now I can scan the newsletter and send it to all you staunch
    supporters of the NY JETS.
    
    Look for it in the mail in the not too distant future. I'm sure it will
    have an excellent writeup on Blair "RotY" Thomas.
    
    JoJ
    
    PS - All you read only noter Jets fans will have to speak up and tell
    me where to find you on the E-net....actually, I can do a show known
    links and find out who you all are anyway, but I think you should come
    out of the closet (so to speak) on your own.
    
    

Wow dude, that is most triumphant news.  Now I will possess a
most savory comedy rag to read while creating SLOF in the privacy
of my own home.

What an excellent excuse for a party.  Will Eddie Van Halen be appearing
in a cameo role in the newsletter?   Will it have some most bodacious
babes in it, or will it just be Ugly Coach dudes?

Don't forget dude, wind your watch...

    	Hey Jo*, you still willing to wager with me when your Jests
    play my Pats?  Are we going to use those sissy point spreads or
    will this be a manly winner-take-all bet?
    
    				/Don

    /Don, I never make sissy_patsy_fan type bets like you're used to. I
    know that if you were a born and bred manly NJ Man like me, you
    wouldn't have even axed that question.
    
    What's the wager? I forgot what we said. Something about a spack of
    Guinness?
    
    JoJ

    	I don't drink sissy beer that you need to spoon out.  Since
    Dins told me you always try to find a way to welsh out on a bet
    I wanted to set the terms.  How 'bout a six pack of Samuel Adams,
    a manly New England beer?
    
    				/Don

    Samantha Adams is a wuss beer. After all, guys like  Dinz drink it.
    
    HOw about Watney's...UK's manliest beer.
    
    JoJ

Sam Adams is not wuss beer.  It is the only commercial beer in America brewed
according to Germany's purity law, and that my friend is the
ultimate in beer.

Of course, even a Sammy can't compare to one of my homebrews....8^) 8^) 8^)

Oh, and by the way, I am heartened by your mention of Watney's...I know
that you have some taste, Jo*  8^)

    Not quite true, but being a soccer fan, what do we expect.  Several
    American beers are brewed within the German purity laws, including
    some of the mass produced ones (Bud or Miller comes to mind).  Sammy's
    is the only American Beer imported into Germany; at least that's
    what the commercials say.
    
    Stick to wine coolers, Frank, until you get off this soccer thing.
    
    Bruce

    When you come down for Giantsmania, Frankwa, I'll get you a glass of
    water from the wetlands surrounding the Staduim. I'll bet you can't
    taste the difference between that glass of pond scum and Sam Adams.
    
    JoJ

JoJ --

Fine, if you think it will help.  You really should start brewing
your own, since it will enhance your tasting ability and open
up your palate.

Besides, the most fun about homebrewing is getting together with
other brewers for tastings (hint, hint).

    Jests are to football what Near Beer is to beer!

    The only real beer is made here in teh northwest, at any of the
    myriad of microbrewery.  Pyramid, Red Hook, Thomas Kemper, Bridgeport
    Blue Heron Ale, etc., put those yuppie beers like Sammy Adams to
    shame.  As for Bud, Miller and the other piss, Ranier Brewery out
    pisses them all!!!

I've heard that the new brew miller is coming out with (barley malt)
is supposedly brewed German pure.  I'll have to give it a try...

'Saw

    
    Haven't heard of that one, 'Saw. Colorado Springs is a big test market
    for anything and everything so we will probably get it or maybe already
    have and I just don't know about it. It's kinda funny watching a ball
    game and then seeing a national ad like THE NEW MILLER GENUINE DRAFT...
    when it has been here for a year or so. Since I have been making
    homebrew for a couple of years now, I'm losing my taste for the
    commercial stuff. But in an emergency I will choke it down.
    
                                                   HOOT
    

I knew there was something I like about you, Homebrew HOOT.... 8^)

I'm really into my own beer also, but I do keep some imports
around (McEwans' Scotch Ale, Newcastle Brown) etc for variety...

I think the new miller is called Reserve, or something like that...

'Saw

    
    OK, I've seen that. 
    
    Newcastle Brown. Ah yes, great brew. Those 18 oz. (or so) bottles work
    great to bottle in also.
    
    You oughta check out the HOMEBREW notes file when you have time.
    There's allot of good info in there.
    
                                                   HOOT
    

    Ummm, I love those Newcastles too.  Tasty and smooth.  Current
    favorite.  Had a Bud Dry about a month ago. Tasted like nothing.  I
    mean absolutely nothing.  No beer no water.  Air is richer flavored.
    
    Jets will use Freeman in spots.  He's still one of the great pure
    runners around.  When you've got Blair, Freeman is a luxury that any
    team would want.

   	I think it was pretty nice of us to allow a Jets note in this
   Conference to begin with. But it'd  be best of we tried to keep off
   the subject of the Jets as much as possible. Their only real claim to
   fame was Joe Walton's mining operations,  and with him gone, things are
   looking pretty bleak.

    I'll second the comments on the Newcastle Brown Ale.  I know of a
    little country bar about 10 miles from my sister's place in Bumfuq
    N. Y. that has it on tap.   Heaven on earth!
    
    JaKe
    

One of the contract writers I worked with in france turned me
on to Newcastle Brown.  

He's from Sunderland, which is about 10 miles from Newcastle.  I believe
folks from that area are called "Jordies" or something like that.
Anyway, he brought me back a "Newcy Broon" from one of his trips home,
and I was pleased to find it in the packy when I got back.  Not a
bad brew at all.

What does this have to do with the Jets?  Nothing, except that I
managed to convince him never to root for them 8^)

    How much playing time is Reggie Rembert (WR from West Virginia)
    expected to see this year?  Any chance he'll start?  
    
    
    py

    He could definitely start.  Toon is set at one wide out.  The other is
    wide open.  Wesley Walker is gone.  Jojo Townsell is better in
    situations and concentrating on returns.  The guy they got from Buffalo
    (???) and Philip Epps are both retreads, and one or both will not be on
    the roster next year.
    
    Rembert was considered by scouts to be in the top 2 of receivers in the
    draft, rated #1 by many.  It was very fortunate for the Jets that they
    got him in round 2.  His drawback is the offense he knows from WVU is
    less than ideal for coming to the pros, but his physical talent is top
    NFL caliber.

How do the Jests manage to draft the perfect personnel at the perfect time every
time? The front office of the Jests is a model that all other front offices

JoJ --

It's nice to see you're back to your old self.  You were getting
quite cranky and contrary there for a while.

In fact, I thought you might have been suffering from PJS.
PJS stands for Pre JetsSeason Syndrome, and afflicts fans of
New Yorks' "other" team.  The symptoms are crankiness and
contrariness, and the cause is the internalized conflict between
the high hopes of Jets fans and the realism of yet another losing,
hapless season drawing nigh.

Glad to see you're okay.

    Dan, I'll second that.
    
    I mean really, an organization that fights for the right to use armor
    piercing bullets to hunt, come on, when was the last time you saw a
    freakin' deer driving a sherman tank???  When was the last time you saw
    a bear wearing a bullet proof vest.  Who, in their right minds hunts
    wif an AK47.

       An AK47 is less powerful than most hunting rifles.

    Waddle, if you got so much muscle as moderator, you must have punched
    yourself in the nose.  .96 says it's "set hidden", but it isn't.

    I agree, but it puts out the bullets in rapid succession, turning
    your kill into ground meat automatically.
    
    
    JaKe
    

I'm no expert but I agree that an AK47 is less powerful than
most hunting rifles.  It's not less deadly, though...

What makes an AK47 such a good weapon is its simplicity, in that 
it was designed I believe to be the type of weapon which can
be doled out to a bunch of people with little or no weapons 
experience, and in a short amount of time, have the be able to 
use it.

It's roughly a 30 caliber weapon.

The M16 on the other hand, is a 22 caliber weapon with a higher
cyclic rate of fire.  Other than that I don't know much about
it.

I prefer knives, because I like to look someone square in the
eye when I kill them....

HTH,
Chainsaw

    They taught a bunch of stuff about the M16A2  when I was in boot camp.
    I suppose the only thing I remember is how to kill somefin 500 meters
    away. 
    

    Gotta get me one of them AK47's for those trips into Boston.....
    
    wheel

Nah...

Get yerself an M60.  See, the ammo belts are the latest in sexy
looks for downtown.  The weapon itself is a tad heavy, but with
practice you can lay down a pretty good field of fire.  It's
also a 30 caliber weapon...

Actually, what would be even neater would be an Uzi, with subsonic
ammo.  Doesn't make a whole helluva lotta noise when you fire it.
And, the Israelis did design the Uzi for close-in street fighting...

HTH,
Chainsaw

    Those Uzis are great on beach balls, too, and saves a lot of wear

    Dickster
    

    The only way to hit anything with a M16 at 500 meters is to aim it at
    a 45 degree angle above the target.  The furthest targets at camp were
    350 meters (good old fort dix, where are you now?) and you had to aim
    over the targets head and hope for no cross wind in order to hit it.
    The M14 has a much longer range.  I had one painfull experience with
    the made by Mattel M16.  If you shoot left handed the brass ejects
    across your field of vision.  Some eject slightly to the front, some
    straight out and some slightly to the rear.  Put a lefty behind a rear
    ejecting M16 and he has an excellent chance of getting a piece of hot
    brass ejected into his right cheekbone.  I had a piece of brass bounce
    off the post I was leaning against, bounce up in the air, and land
    between the skin of my back and 4 layers of clothing.  What a burn.
    How did all this gun talk get into the jets topic?  If you really want
    to prove your point walk around with a 20mm machine cannon.  The jets 
    and the pats should only play each other this year.  At least then one
    of them could at least get to .500
    

    LeE...you feel better now that you abused me and you were WRONG!
    
    Geez, first Heiser acuses me of sending him empty files and now you
    accuse me of not knowing how to use the "set hidden" feature.
    
    C'mon guys, if you're gonna bust my filberts, make sure you're correct
    first.
    
    JoJ

    Oh yeah, one more thing...
    
    This gun discussion is totally off the topic. Unless the rumors are
    true. I heard that the Giants contracted some of the NRA members to
    shoot the Jets receivers from the stands so that the Giants don't get
    beat by  40 points.
    
    JoJ

    >The only way to hit anything with a M16 at 500 meters is to aim it at
    >a 45 degree angle above the target.
    
    
    M16 maybe, with an M16A2 500 meters is not out of range. In boot camp
    we shot from the 200, 300, and 500 meter lines for qualification.
    Granted at 500 meters we shot at the "body" targets but we still hit
    'em.
    
    The Jests sip  and waddle is a bum. ( just to stay on topic)

JoJ --

Your rumor is true.  In fact, I volunteered.  hahhahahahahha....


re M16 vs M14:
	
That's the second time I've heard that.

I'm a lefty, but I think I shoot right handed...

a great QB. Simms is a great athlete playing the QB posistion and that's
it....

    FWIW, I've been praying since the Giants superbowl year that they would get
    rid of him. At that time I wanted them to trade him and LT for O'Brien .
    Even though Kenny O is worth much more, I think the Giants should have
    tried to make the deal.

    Mike

    There's no other way to say this.  The Jets have been damned good so
    far.  They've given up only 6 points in posting two wins over the
    Eagles and the Chiefs.  There offense hasn't been great, but then they
    played 4 QBs in each game (O'Brien, Eason, Taylor and Snyder) and
    they're missing their top 2 running backs (Blair Thomas and Johnny
    Hector).
    
    Most encouraging is the defense.  They've basically allowed one
    sustained drive in each game.  They bottled up a top-notch QB like
    Randall Cunningham nicely, and the DL racked up 6 sacks the other day
    against KC - okay the KC line looked pathetic, but that's how most
    teams register 6 sacks in a game.
    
    I'm not reserving hotel rooms for the Super Bowl yet, but it's
    certainly encouraging for a team that went 3-13 last year.

    The mighty Giants... oh what will we ever do?  Limp Wrist Simms will
    throw the ball, maybe twice, to No Hands Turner or the (Ha-ha)

	I hope so. If this occurs then Parcells we have no other choice
 but to start the season with Hostetler, who's time has come. He's looked
 super in preseason and did the job last year when called upon. His mobility
 alone puts him ahead of Phil in my books....

    Reggie Rembert has not yet signed and was traded to the Bengals for LB
    Joe Kelly and OL Scott Jones last night.
    
    John

    >                   -< It amy be all over for Lyons >-
    
    That's right.  In fact, even without the injury (torn bicep), it may
    have been.  He was struggling and was involved in the numbers game. 
    Sorry to say it, but it's probably for the best.  I'd like the Jets to
    give Lyons a job in the organization (such as line coach, which he
    already was informally).
    
    Players they got for Reggie Rembert:
    
    Joe Kelly, starting RILB for Cinci.  Very talented, quick, finesse
    type.  Not big or too string.  Good tackler and excellent pursuit. 
    4-yr. starter may be moved outside where it's more suited to his
    talents.
    
    Scott Jones, backup offensive tackle in Cinci.  Converted TE.  "Still
    developing." 2nd year player, 6'5' 278.  Jets line needs help.  May get
    a chance to start, but if he's anything will get PT regardless.
    
    Also, most importantly for the OL, the Jets reached agreement with Jim
    Sweeney, their only above-average talentwise lineman.  He's a very
    underrated center, and can play all around on the line.  One of the
    best in the league.

    Although the Jests have at least been able to score a touchdown or so
    so far this season, unlike the Steelers who are suffering from the

    teams just like his dad.

    Not to change the subject, but what is the deal with Toon this year?
    Is he going to amount to anything this weekend against San Diego,
    if not now, when could he have a better chance.

    Toon has been hampered by an injured lower back.  I imagine he's still
    feeling some effects, but he'll be playing this weekend against S.D. 
    WHen right, he's the best WR in the AFC.
