Shonn Greene serene thinks about the days when he was lifting couches instead of carrying footballs. "It wasn't fun" the New York Jets rookie running back said. "It was a humbling experience." Greene's football career was halted in 2007 when he was ruled academically ineligible at the University of Iowa. He paid for courses at a community university to get his grades up by working at a furniture store. Greene has get a significant part of the Jets' top-ranked running game rushing for 135 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries in New York's 24-14 win at Cincinnati last Saturday.
