The Jets were parked on the runway this week. The inevitable discussion that surfaces this time of the season around teams like these is whether they should "tank." Most fans theorize that New York could position itself for another top-five pick (the Jets knocked the last one out of the park) and possibly acquire a franchise QB. The thinking goes that the future would be brighter even if it meant an extra loss or two (or three) in the present. There's just one tiiiiiiiiiiny problem: athletic pride. How do you get 53 men to allow themselves to get beat? How about when their opponents incessantly talk @#$@ after every play? Asking professional -- prideful -- athletes to tank is flat ridiculous. It's difficult enough to allow teams to score in end-game scenarios to save time on the clock. Remember, players are concerned about their game tape, too. So the idea of tanking relies on a false premise: that a large group of people can all agree on anything, much less planning to play poorly.
