A fan on the popular Seattle Seahawks message board "Seahawks Huddle" has created a stir in his attempts to goad NY Giants fans before the two teams' matchup next week by posting a collection of 9/11 jokes. The post has naturally been taken down, but not before it raised the ire of many, including today's Daily News where they call the author "a lunatic" and share a link to his email address. The jokes were posted above an image of a smoking NYC skyline following the fall of the towers and included one-liners such as "Q: What's Al Qaida's (sic) favorite football team? A: The New York Jets" and "Q: How many New Yorkers does it take to change a light bulb? A: Nobody knows since they keep jumping out the window when it gets too hot!"

Eli Manning has never struck us as a high-strung type of guy. After a mistake, he seems to shrug it off in a "ho-hum, what can you do?" way and then moves on. That's not what happened when he responded yesterday to Tiki Barber's comments during halftime of Sunday's Giants-Ravens pre-season game. Barber, who was making his debut on NBC's Football Night in America, said he asked Manning to make a motivational speech once and that Manning was "very uncomfortable doing it. Sometimes it was almost comical the way he would say things." He also said that Manning was "very good as a quarterback" and that "he's been a leader in some games." But he wonders if Manning "Can he be a leader of men?"

At 10-4 after a great all-around effort in a 37-14 win over the visiting Seattle Seahawks yesterday, we would think the Jets can relax as they coast into the AFC playoffs, right? Not so fast. In order to clinch an iron-clad spot in the postseason, they must defeat AFC East rival New England next weekend at home (4 p.m., TV: CBS).
