    TOOOOOOOOON! -> [​IMG]

    Really really hope that Nick joins with us. Does anyone know when hes going to turn Pro?
    Hes just about the only player that I've been watching for the last 2 seasons (college). Outstanding hands, great leaper, fearless, quick good feet and runs great routes......remind you of anyone???

    Same here! That's pretty cool, GM!

    When i was a kid I had a green and white #88 no-name generic jersey from Caldor (kind of like a Walmart from back in the day). My parents couldn't afford to get me a sweet-ass real one.

    Co-sign on this. Toon was the best. I would love to see his son play for the Jets.

    I met him at a United Way benefit in NYC. I told him I hate the fucking dolphins. He agreed. Very cool guy, and definitely one of my favorites.

    I was in a bar in Wisconsin and they had a lot of memorabilia of his there.

    Your so lucky Toon was one of my all time favorite Jets. He was a classy guy that laid it all on the line every game.

    Which is why I've wanted to hold off on drafting a WR this year.

    You should never wash the clothes you were wearing that night. When I became a Jets at age nine Toon was the first Jet I fell in love with. Al was and still is awesome.

    Probably too late for me to start making jokes but...

    Yea, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for throwing up all over that waitress. Tell her she'll get her tip when I get them digits.

    I feel like his talent was on a par with Jerry Rice! Is that right or am I having selective memory? Either way, it's a shame he's not more widely known outside the world of Jets fans.
