Why the Jets - Growing up in Massapequa Park 10 minutes from Hofstra, and hearing about Namath in the Mid 70's Made me a Jets fan. So for about 35 years Ive Bled Green and White. It wasn't easy, in my teen years in the 1980's I was surrounded by all those Giants fans that were winning the Big games, but I maintained... I was only embarrassed once as a Jets fan in 35 years. It was the game in 1997 when Neil O'Donnell couldn't/wouldn't/was too much of a female genitalia to snap the ball because the fans were too loud in the Silverdome. If I remember correctly, Parcells never put him back in the game because of that, and Ray Lucas had to take over.

Favorite Player - Victor Green

Favorite Game - 1997 Week 2 at the Patriots, we lost that game in over time but it was a thrilling Barn Burner for a full 60 minutes. It was Tunas first trip back to New England and had all the drama. It was so obvious that the jets played their hearts out that day and I cant remember a game they played harder since. Don't get me wrong, gang green always plays hard but there was something else going on in that game that's hard to describe.

Jets Autographs I have - Glenn Foley, Curtis Martin, Keith Byers, Leonard Marshall
