By Andy Nesbitt, FOXSports.com Thank goodness for the New York Jets. While they might not be great at competing for Super Bowl titles, when it comes to "how-can-we-make-ourselves-look-silly titles" nobody beats the J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS! The latest example? New York Daily News reporter Manish Mehta tweeted out two photos of "Media Bridges" cards that the team recently handed out to each player. These cards are designed to help the players deal with the media and answer questions in a way that will keep them off the back pages of the New York tabloids. (UPDATE:ProFootballTalk.com reports that Jets RB Joe McKnight gave his card to Seth Walder of the New York Daily News, who then gave it to his colleague, Mehta.) Here is the front of the card:
