I’m totally pumped that for Bourne’s Blog’s 100th entry, I get to drop this news: THE NEW YORK JETS DRAFTED MARK SANCHEZ TODAY! When Favre left, I was worried next year wasn’t gonna be as much fun, and boy, was I wrong. I wasn’t fully on his bandwagon when he was at USC, but I’ll drive it now. Fun times ahead.
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!


I'm a hockey player turned writer. After playing for Alaska Anchorage in the WCHA (NCAA), I carried on with an NHL tryout (New York Islanders in 2007) before spending a couple seasons in the AHL/ECHL (last year was 2008-09). My father, Bob Bourne, won four Stanley Cups with the Islanders in the '80's, as did my fiancee's dad, Clark Gillies. I'm now the web editor for theScore's hockey blog "Backhand Shelf."
My husband is in 7th Heaven right along with you there. At least one of our teams’ future is looking somewhat brighter. J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS!
Lets hope the weight of the entire Jets organization doesn’t crush Sanchez before he gets the chance to really shine in a few years.
I think the guy is great but he might have needed a few years under an established QB to learn and grow before being thrown into the spot light…
We’ll see how he handles the pressure!
Mets Jets and Islanders.
it’s the only way to be. Anything else is just wrong.
