Empire State Of Mind

Lets hear it for New York. And Jay Z. After all, if you ain't stealing a verse from Jigga for your blog then you ain't blogging, right? I'll bet Mr. Sean Carter has a few ideas for a couple of his hometown teams but since I couldn't get an interview with the hip hop king, I'll give you my thoughts.

The Yankees are in the post season and have a chance to advance in the AL playoff race while the Jets won't see a postseason game unless they take a team field trip to Yankee Stadium. And team bonding wouldn't be a bad thing for Rex and his boys. But there might just be a way for the two to help each other out. Just hear me out.
A-Rod is a-joke right now for the Brox Bombers hitting somewhere around .001. Ok it's not that bad but he is something like 1 for 200. Ok that's an exaggeration too but you get the point. He's so bad he was benched in the ninth last night, pinch hit for, and his replacement hit not only the game tying homer but also the game winning homer. And Alex is the highest paid player in MLB history. The Yankees have paid him about a trillion dollars.

Mark Sanchez has played like the 5 star recruit he once was. Problem is he's not at USC anymore. He's not on a team with twice as much talent as their opponent. He's actually on a team that probably has less talent than any Trojans team he was a part of. And he has a proven winner sitting behind him that won't see the field because Rex Ryan is an idiot.

So what am I proposing you ask?
Simple.

The Yankees should trade A-Rod to the Jets for Sanchez.
Look at it this way. Sanchez is an athletic guy. You don't get to be an NFL QB by not being a great athlete, even if your a terrible NFL QB(which Sanchez is). You put Sanchez at the plate 15 straight times and I'll bet he puts the bat on the ball and finds a gap at least twice. That's one better than A-Rod.
And Rodriguez to the Jets is a win-win for both teams. The Yankees free up about 10 billion dollars and the Jets get a super star that has already proven that when he gets benched, his replacement comes in and makes miracles happen. His replacement would be Tim Tebow.

And Tim Tebow wakes up in the morning and pisses miracles.

New York needs someone who pisses miracles right now.

I think Jay Z would approve.
