Hmm, I thought yesterday was 63 days until kickoff, which would make today 62 days until kickoff. Note: I just checked a calendar, and it is 63 days until kickoff. Sorry about that.
I use the player index tool at pro football reference for those who want to join in the countdown to kickoff fun. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/uniform.cgi?number=61&team=nyj Spencer Long
My first Jets game live was when I was 6, 1970. My father used to carry my idiot brother into Shea and make him pretend to be sleeping to get in for free and give the other ticket to a friend, haha (pre-SB III). It was a ruse that worked for a while, but then I had to use the ticket to get myself in later on. No regrets scamming the Jets because of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come (The New Dump).
I don't belong to FB, but the old man was watching the Jets/Raiders AFL Champ Game (December 29th, 1968) on his phone yesterday on a site called Jetsonly . . . or something? It was great, good mic ups and some interviews. I love watching some of those old games in b & w. Fukk you, Ben Davidson - although I think it was actually Lassiter who broke Namath's cheekbone the year before in the Heidi Game. Oh, and fukk Heidi, too. I actually remember watching 'Heidi' after they cut away from the game. I'll ask the old man when gets home about the link to the Champ Game/site. Poor matt - you missed the Champ Game by three weeks. Unless you were there. My Daddy and my idiot brother were. I detest the Raiders to this day and probably will into the next life - if there is one.
