Most Jets fans would probably have Joe Namath, even now at 68 and even right after he left the bar.
Got a tip for us?

Oh believe me, I understand. In my life I've had to (vaguely) root for Carl Everett, Roger Clemens, Albert Haynesworth, etc.
In all seriousness the recent ESPN sportumentary on him was really good. I learned a lot of cool things about him and the status of the league in those days. He really broke the mold as far as salary structure and endorsements. Today's players truly owe him for a lot of the benefits they have today.
The drinking problem just reminds us that he's human and reportedly things are much better now. The live TV incident with Kolber was a catalyst to him coming out of denial and getting help with his alcoholism.
Mark Sanchez give him some consistency in running the offense and hope that he develops into a true franchise QB this year.... if he is still regressing like last year then its time to cut ties and explore other options.
But I'm sure we will see #3 with Tebow being worked into some wildcat packages which is sooooo 2009. I feel like that play just doesnt work anymore after it was all the rage in 2009.
I think the punishments against the Saints are fully deserved. They were significantly increasing the chance of deliberately and seriously injuring a player. After being explicitly told not to do it, they lied about it and continued the bounties.
That would combine two of the things this Browns fan detests conveniently in the same place.
You me the Steelers would be hated more by the Browns than they already are by the Ravens? Wow, that would make for some great games.
Browns fans are split on the issue. Most hate Pittsburgh more than Baltimore. Personally, I hate Pittsburgh because they are our old rivals, and always will be. Baltimore I simply hold in contempt, because they stole our team, stole our coach, and employ a murderer in defense.
Of course, many Browns fans think that The NFL has made us pay dearly for suing them and Art Modell to get our team back. They will not let us win anything until we have been sufficiently punished for having the balls to make them give us an expansion franchise (and to keep the rights to our team name and colors) in return for taking our team to Baltimore. We dragged them before congressional hearings for crying out loud, and they didn't like that at all.
Ironically, as a born and almost raised Pittsburger, I've never really hated the Browns. (I'm hoping to move back to Pittsburgh when I retire, as I cannot wait to get out of one of the most corrupt states in the union - Illinois.)
The dirty bird Ravens, that is a different story, I can't stand them. The other teams I really don't like are The Cowboys, Raider's and 49er's. Oh and right up there with the Ravens are the Patriots. Basically I'm an AFC guy, unless the Patriots are playing. In fact it did my heart good to see the Giants beat the Patriots AGAIN!!!
Ahhh, nothing like a sandwich from Primanti Brothers!!!
and Ray Lewis should be in Jail.
Wow, I forgot about those plays, thanks for sharing the link.
The RAIDERS don't really like you either. =)
The biggest problem the Jets have is rex ryan. fact.
its funny when he took the Jets to two straight AFC championships and made the team relevant his first 2 seasons as a head coach he was the man and the trash talking and boasting didn't really bother anyone..... But the minute you have one losing season all of a sudden you're a problem
It's not that simple. The jets have a LOT of problems. He's just part of it. The GM is just as bad.

nah, i've always thought he was the problem.
As a Jets fan the only thing that's going to get me through the next 4+ months is alcohol. And to make it easier I've created a drinking game - every time we have to hear useless crap about Tim Tebow I drink.
It's excruciating and it's only April. I can't imagine how bad it's going to get when training camp begins. Ugh.
you should probably schedule in a couple stints in rehab this month. If you watch first take you'll be on permadrunk
One of many reasons I hardly watch ESPN. The NY media is doing more than their share.
I'm really dreading our games with the Jets this year thanks to the endless Tebow hoopla - so I feel for you. Can't believe you ended up with that asshat on your team.
Allegations made that Saints GM Mickey Loomis eavesdropped on opposing coaches
Waiting to here more on this, but WTF is going on with the Saints.

If this turns out to be true, then he should be banned for life, like I'm hoping they do for Gregg Williams.
Packers released nick collins today over concerns about neck injury. He was a great packer and great team player and will be sorely missed
Draft night! Really hoping the Patriots do something different and trade up for Mark Barron - but they never do what I want them to do, which is good, because they're usually right and I'm usually wrong.
As long as they draft defense, defense, and more defense, I'll be happy.
