WatchDog's first ever award for Most Patient Radio Interview Subject goes to the Jets' Thomas Jones, hands-down.
Jones' appearances every Tuesday with Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton on WFAN have become morbidly fascinating, as Carton bluntly attempts to provoke Jones and the running back politely and patiently refuses to fall into his traps.
Such paid weekly radio spots by players quickly can become uncomfortable at best and a waste of time at worst when their teams head south. But this somehow is working, thanks to Carton's dogged irreverance and Jones being a good sport.
But can they pull this off for another two months if the Jets never win again?
