Rather than look back at the two previous midfield greetings after the Jets-Patriots games this season, let's look forward to this Sunday. Here are the Keyboard Quarterbacks' nine suggestions for how Mangini should deal with the postgame handshake if the Jets win, followed by nine suggestions should the Jets not win.
Top 9 handshake ideas for Mangini after a Jets win
1) Punch Belichick in the face and stand over him like Muhammad Ali did to Sonny Liston.
2) Put one of those buzzers in his hand and shock Belichick into a pulse.
3) "Hey, Bill. Nice game. Love the sweatshirt. Maybe I'll wear one next week. Tune in to Channel 2 and watch."
4) Stinkhand him, a la "Mallrats."
5) Be cordial and professional and go on your way.
6) The dead fish.
7) Extend a hand and pull it away just as Belichick goes for it, then yell "Psych!"
8) Moon Belichick.
9) "Bill, don't you wish you could be the HC of the NYJ right now?"
Top 9 handshake ideas for Mangini after a Jets non-win
1) Punch Belichick in the face and stand over him like Muhammad Ali did to Sonny Liston.
2) Extend the left hand instead and force Belichick to make either an awkward grip with his right hand or use his left hand to shake.
3) Throw the challenge flag at him.
4) Stinkhand him, a la "Mallrats."
5) "Bill, the guys in the booth said you smiled in the second quarter. Why don't you like me anymore?"
6) Talk to Belichick for as long as possible just to keep him on the field.
7) Shake Tom Brady's hand instead.
8) Moon Belichick.
9) Be respectful and professional and yada, yada, yada.
