Happy Birthday Gary V! Do you watch football? there’s a team called the Jets i think you’d be in too, or not, it’s up to you.
November 14, 2008

Todd
As a beer drinker and football fan, this episode was by far my favorite. Congrats on the W last night. When I think Jets, I think two things:

1. Favre
2. Gary

(but not in that order)

Happy Birthday.

Happy B-Day Gary. Great espisode…Way to keep true to your team even if it breaks your hart. Last weekend the only thing that helped me over the Penn State and Steelers loss was my loving wife kathy and a good bottle of Rob’s Borderaux. Bought a case of the Cab when you did the wines from Oregon…Hope you have/had a great weekend in Beantown.

Happy Birthday, GaryV! It’s great that you get to celebrate an exciting win today, but aren’t just a bit worried? If the Jets continue to do well, it’s just going to make it more expensive for you to buy the team.

I forgot to congratulate on the Jets win in OT. I think it is funny that espn.com has yet to update Favre’s picture. He is clearly wearing a Packers’ jersey. Buck up camper, about getting old. Happy Birthday, again!

Ok so let’s see if I’ve got this straight…

Your’re a Jets fan.
November 15, 2008

Keith Olbermann
Pete G.,

Stay in your own lane, hillbilly. Don’t write checks with your computer that your G.E.D. can’t cash. I’ve forgotten more about football than you’re ever gonna learn.

Remember, it’s just like I tell that double-digit I.Q.’ed president of ours. It’s better to keep one’s mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open said mouth and remove all doubt.

That it for this, the first day since Pete G.’s declaration that I am a douche.

I’m Keith Olbermann.

Good night, and good luck!

Gary,

I just watched sports center and saw a segment on Farve. I must admit that I hadn’t checked in with you for a while. OUCH I knew you would be hot on the jets and I got to watch the montage of previous jets snippets. I am from the Oregon coast and love your passion. Kellen was the pride of our hood when he went on to the NFL and I loved your loyalty, but I have one thing for you to take note of. Oregon is spelled Oregon but pronounced OraGUN. Great wine comes from OraGUN. OraGUN has lots of rain. OraGUN has mountains and oceans. Oh and did I mention OraGUN has great wine! Carry on my friend and go JETS (unless they see the Seahawks).

Just started to watch your show!! Had to ask if the jets were a football team or a hocky team (knew it had to be one of them!!) Hope they win today for you and happy birthday!!! Found out the The Jets were a hockey team from Canada so the Jets in NY had to be football. I am a girl I like to shop!!! Love to Wine Information!

Happy belated b-day, Gary. I know must still be riding high on the Jets win, but are you also feelin’ Brock as the new UFC heavywieght champ? Cause we all know you wave your wrestling fan flag almost as high… Hope you had a good one.

Pats fan here. Congrats on your your victory, smelled somewhat like an 02′ Teri du tufi white Italian wine, a little overdue and slightly funky. That being said great game deserved the win despite the pain it causes me and all of New England. Should come check out Southeastern New England wines (Wesport and Sakonnet) Maybe not great but wines that at least have a particular place.

Ha! I celebrated my birthday Thursday (13th) with the 2004 Antinori Tignanello. Nice, but not as impressive as the 2001, which blew me away!

Too bad the Jets will not go up against my hometown Steelers, who would simply annihilate the little boys in green. Haha!

I hope you had an excellent birthday celebration with your wife and made it back safely home.

With respect to this video I would suggest if you put together something like this a year from now you might choose to remove the parts where you are strongly critical of others. I think the Belichek allegation of him stealing a large sum of money is a dangerous thing to say. Apart from the fact you are likely to offend the people involved, you also leave yourself potentially vulnerable to litigation if the facts do not fully support your accusations. Sometimes in life, the less said the better. You could have done just as well by taking the day off.

As good as the Jets have been of late, I think they have to be considered the underdog against an undefeated team. Since I like seeing an upset win as much as the next person (unless the Patriots are involved), I will be rooting for the Jets over the Titans this weekend.

Hope you had a fantastic Birthday, and congrats on the win. I hate the Pats as much as anyone, and was PUMPED when your Jets closed the deal (it was scary though!)

Happy birthday, GV. Remember you’re not getting older you’re getting better. Older is a state of mind, entirely optional.

Gary! Happy Belated Birthday! It was a surprise and great seeing you on the field before the start of last Thursday’s game in Boston….and what a game! We along with a few others provided great support for the Jets on-site as they kicked a$$ in the Patriots own stadium! I’m sure you were pleased.

I am not cheating by leaving all my comments at once. I have been getting home late, but have been watching the episodes. I just was saving up the commenting until I had time. Great video gift from the wife GV. And wow, what a BD present you had at Foxboro. Keep it going, and we will see about the Titans.

Well, it was an appropriate episode given the Jets big win over the Pats (minus Tom Brady).

I hope you had a very happy birthday and a great anniversary (I’m guessing you did).

Happy birthday to you and happy anniversary to you and Lizzie. I hope it was an amazing time ( I know it was ). Great video even though I hate your Jets. Thats right I said it. Go ahead, try to block my ISP. I’ll watch you on viddler….or you tube….yeah, then no comments on WLTV!!! I know how much those comment mean to you! Seriously though I love it when you ramble about your Jets. Always a good time……..( Go Hawks! )
