    Today is "throwback thursday" on the that network. From the ads I have see the famous clip of JWN wagging his finger #1 in the air as he runs off the field after SB3 ended so I presume it is part of the program tonight. Also the words the NYJs are champions of the FB world were promo as well. So if U want to C what it was like when the NYJs were on the top of the heap tune in :)

    Rich Eisen and the NFLN are 0-15 in while covering the Jets during a SB run and holding up a VLT.

    NFL Network is why the Jets will never be winners.

    The NFL network has nothing to do with the Jet's success. It's all up to the team and all the coaches to provide for the best possible outcome. A better then good QB and WR's along with the OL are the reason for any wins. The Defense has to be stalwart.

    And of course the win in Super Bowl III technically had nothing to do with the merger, since it was announced on June 8, 1966, 2 1/2 years before the game. That doesn't in any way mean that Joe Namath had nothing to do with the merger, because he actually had a great deal to do with it - him signing with the AFL put the lie to the NFL's claim that the AFL would only sign has-beens and nobodies. Interestingly, the POS Wellington Mara, who despised the AFL and Namath with every fiber of his being, actually caused the merger more than any other single person - his signing Pete Gogolak off the Buffalo Bills in May 1966 immediately prompted Al Davis (then commissioner of the AFL) to push the poaching of NFL free agents like Roman Gabriel, John Brodie, and Mike Ditka. That put the NFL owners into such a panic that a month later they signed the merger agreement, which included a provision of no interleague trades until the merger (thereby invalidating any deals that could have been done).

    It is of course delicious irony that Mara's greed ultimately led in large part to Super Bowl III, the second-worst day of his life. The worst day of his life was, amazingly enough, the Jets destroying the Giants in an exhibition game at the Yale Bowl in front of over 70,000 fans on August 17, 1969, since at that point the Giants and their fans were still delusional enough to think that their crappy team was better than the Super Bowl champion Jets, and that game was legitimately viewed as being what would decide the question.

    What Super Bowl III (and Super Bowl IV) did do, of course, was guarantee that there would be no chance of any notion that the AFL was anything but an equal partner in the merger.

    I was there. It was a great day. If you'll notice, the uniform in my avatar is the same plain white jersey seen in the game pictures...

    Yes even though it was a exhibition game the NYJ/NYG game was the game I think I enjoyed the most being at until the Oak PO game at Shea in Dec 68. :):):)

    I still have the newspaper clippings from the Oak & SB3 games as well as the LP record made of the NYJ 68 season by the Daily News

    The playoff game came before the Giants game. What made that Giants game was that the arrogant Giants and their fans refusing to recognize the Jets as SB Champs, claiming we had to beat them! A exhibition game where the Maras told all the Giants would win. An exhibition game in which the Giants refused to pull their starters and the Jets beat the shit out of the Giants in every which way you could beat a team

    The deal was signed inside a "gentlemans club" too many visible boobs for NFLN.
