The Trentonian (Trenton, NJ)

Probably won’t be a winning season at an NFL stadium nearby

This might be a great time to ask “Are you ready for some football?” but serious distaste exists here for Hank Williams, Jr.

The Every Show Produces Negative (ESPN) opinions should be embarrasse­d to bring back Williams.

NFL owners and Commission­er Roger Goodell have crossed over to the Dark Side.

Well, let’s get to this as three Trentonian area NFL teams prepare for the 2017 season.

Start with the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets who may be worse than the M-E-T-S, Mets, Mets, Mets.

Remember Filene’s basement? Well, this Jets’ elevator heads downward for a hellish season of minimal offense.

Uh, Josh McCown as quarterbac­k throwing the ball to a lackluster, young receiving crew?

These Jets will drop off the radar as fans call for the dismissal of coach Todd Bowles.

His head may roll as Jets deliver dismal 3-13 mark.

A visit to the Capital City Farmers Market in Trenton’s Mill Hill Park meant a stop to visit The Cheesecake Lady aka Lisa Parysz.

Parysz and a friend were debating whether to attend Thursday’s final Levitt Amp Trenton music series featuring The New Jersey Capital Philharmon­ic Orchestra or stay home to watch the Eagles vs. Jets preseason game.

Just say psyche evaluation while enjoying Parysz’ scrumptiou­s desserts.

A similar opinion occurs while listening to Eagles’ fans who forced my return to listening to WXPN and WDAS.

Listening to Philly sports radio, one knows that marijuana decriminal­ization has occurred in the City of Brotherly Love.

Or, here’s a joke that will guffaw my critical son.

What did painter James McNeil Whistler shout after the disappeara­nce of his mother?

She’s off her rocker! Eagles’ fans, too. Win the division? Super Bowl in three years? (Don’t bogart that joint my friend...). Mind you, alleged franchise quarterbac­k Carson Wentz will excite as Eagles improve.

Coach Doug Pederson remains suspect but Eagles deliver 9-7 or 8-8 season.

Giants backup quarterbac­ks put up 40 points against New England’s 38 in the final preseason contest.

Receivers Odell Beckham, Brandon Marshall, and Sterling Shepard should make QB Eli Manning a top-rated passer.

If Giants can establish the run then Big Blue will put up a second straight 11-5 mark.
