I don’t think there’s ever been another team in history that’s generated more buzz with a win over the Texans than the Jets have this week. And with that newfound swagger they’ve decided to poke the bear as much as possible in advance of their Kris Jenkins dubbed “Super Bowl” against the Pats. Metal Gear Rex did his best Lane Kiffin impression and Kerry Rhodes pulled a near-Anthony Smith. There were even pointless Twitter fights involving Rodney Harrison, who someone needs to remind is no longer on the active roster.

Can Rex’s dirty chimichanga play well enough for the J-E-S-T to pull one out? Or will the Pats receivers decide not to drop seven passes this week and run away with it? Either way, Rex is at Scores by 5 p.m.

After the jump, Jackson’s Super Bowl halftime performance.

(Full disclosure: Ochocinco later recanted.  I guess some people are still a little touchy about 9/11.  But whatever, imagine if Bettie Page and Elvis died on the same day.  As sad as the attack on Pearl Harbor, right?  Hello?)

Rudy Huxtable Ocho Cinco? Make what you will of MediaTakeOut.com’s report that the Bengals headcase wide receiver is engaged to Cosby Show alum Keisha Knight Pulliam.

People making a deal about this interview I did. Well, I didn’t see it. That is to say, I saw it. I didn’t see the reaction to it, which I’m reading right now. Can you sum it up for me? It’s hard to make out through the parallax view.

I read some bell hooks coloring book on the way over. But I’m not coming from anywhere. Where are you going? Hit me on the hit when you get there. When I wake up on Thursdays, I wish it was Thursday, but in another month. You ever get that?

My favorite U.S. protectorate is Guam.

You ever read about bristlecone pines? Them shits is old. I just made that up. Why are you talking about trees? Smoking trees is slang for smoking marijuana. Draping trees is slang that hasn’t been invented yet. Chris Henry lives a sad life.

People said God created the world at OTAs, but I think that’s a lie perpetuated by the night manager at McDonalds.

I think God created place mats when Satan tole him table tops was made a’ table titties. God sometimes foolish like that. They say God can be found in the details. That means God is found in stats. That means fantasy football is a religion. All this time you thought you didn’t believe.

You think it’s weird that I like Lou Reed?

There’s a war going on outside no man is safe from. So what’cha gonna do since you know now?

Man from the interview asked me how I can be mad if I’m making $35 million. I don’t make that, man. Somebody at the mint does that. I only collect it. I bet mint people all kinds of happy. They make all the money there is. Probably got fresh breath too.

Actually, I read this interview and found Vidal’s answers even more disjointed than my own. When a man asks you about the weather, you don’t tell him about the temperature, the amount of cloud cover or the chances of precipitation. You tell him about the weather!

So, how are you, blog people?

+ 1 to blog people.

Blog people + 1 equals blog numbers. That’s blog maths. How many blogs you get outta blog? That’s blog division.

I just made you up in my head, blog people.
