You know, for now, this is all just a non-nefarious quirk, this silly cat-and-mouse habit Aaron Glenn has invented when it comes to naming a starting quarterback.
For now, it’s either annoying (if you’re a media member whose job it is to care about such things) or irritating (if you happen to think choosing between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor isn’t exactly guarding the nuclear codes). Or, I suppose, sidesplitting (since Glenn seems to think it’s the most hilarious bit since the closing credits of “The Hangover”).
It’s not, though, and it’s not just because the Jets are awful (and now absent two of their best players), and because they’re playing the Browns who, on many weekends, when it’s suggested that the Jets, Saints or Titans are the worst team in football, like to chant in unison: “HOLD OUR BEER!”
We’ll start with this reminder: There are some poor souls who will actually bet money on preseason football games. So as much as it may seem hysterical to even watch Jets-Browns, let alone place actual legal tender on Jets-Browns … somewhere in this world, someone is either taking or giving the 2 ½-point spread that favors the Browns right now.
