JETS BETTER GET ONE OF 3, GREG NORMAN BIGGEST PHONY IN SPORTS & NBA NEEDS LEBRON HEALTHY.

You know what would be a swell thing for the Yankees?

If Giancarlo has more home runs this season than missed games.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Jets need a quarterback.

Of course, there are three out there who should interest them:

Aaron Rodgers. Derek Carr. Jimmy Garoppolo.

In that order.

They can’t move on to the last two until they find out if Rodgers wants to come play football for them, and if they can make a trade work and make the money work. And all that jazz.

If it’s not going to be Rodgers, it has to be Carr.

And if not Carr, then Jimmy G., as hard as it is for him to stay on the field.

But the Jets have to get one of them.

The draft choices they’ve made, especially on defense, the foundation they’ve built, means absolutely nothing if they don’t get a quarterback.

Because if they don’t, then somebody else might be picking the players for the Jets in a year, and somebody else might be coaching those players.

My pal Stanton, by the way, keeps wondering how Vince Lombardi would have dealt with the aging Aaron Rodgers.

I don’t think there’s any question that Daniel Jones is going to be the Giants quarterback, and for a long time.

But I still believe he is being over-valued after a season in which he threw 15 touchdown passes in 16 games.

Davis Mills threw 17. Russell Wilson threw 16.

There is no bigger phony in sports than Greg Norman, the czar of the Blood Money Tour.

And no more overrated figure in golf history than Norman.

I mean, did David Feherty say on television last weekend, wherever the hell the Blood Money tour is on television, that Norman was the most recognizable athlete in the world in the 1980s and ‘90s?

Somebody tell Feherty that Michael Jordan would like a word.

So would about a dozen other guys.

. .

Maybe more than that.

Tell you what, though?

Feherty just locked up being Norman’s Employee of the Month.

The NBA better hope LeBron gets healthy, and that the Lakers make the playoffs.

Because the league isn’t nearly as interesting when LeBron isn’t in it.

Televised sports events are now completely lousy with gambling commercials.

And speaking of commercials?

Doesn’t it seem as if the ones for the Masters now start up right after Christmas dinner?

Kendrick Perkins said this the other day about Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki and Nikola Jokic winning the MVP award without finishing in the Top 10 in scoring:

“What do those guys have in common? I’ll let it sit there and marinate. You think about it.”

Well, I have thought about it, Perk.

And here’s what I think:

Before you put your foot in your mouth next time, and sound flop-sweat desperate for attention, lie down until the feeling passes.
