OT: 2024 NY Jets Season Thread

I never thought Rogers would work.
Jets have a long running habit of getting big stars on their last legs after their glory teams let them go.
 
Did 69 really happen or was it filmed on a soundstage like the moon landing? :)
Yes. Unfortunately, that was back in my betting days. I lost everything I had won on the first two Super Bowls thanks to the Green Bay Packers. Some of my buds back then who also lost on the Colts always maintained that the game was fixed.

I once saw a sports documentary on the Jets and Super Bowl 3. It covered the Jets season leading up to the game. There was a funny segment regarding an NYC detective and gambling on the 1968 AFL championship game between the Jets and Oakland Raiders . The night before the game, this detective was out on the town on the upper East Side of NYC. About 2:00 AM he was walking past some high end bar and saw Joe Namath walk out of the bar with an attractive blond and an open bottle of scotch. Later that morning, the guy called his bookie and put a very large bet on the Raiders to win the game. The Jets and Namath won the championship game 27-23 much to his dismay.

I don't think we fully grasped the stamina of the athletes of earlier eras.
