    Am I crazy or do I remember someone on this site coming up with "Revis Island" like 4-5 years ago?

    I know kind of random, but it just hit me when I saw an ESPN posting glossing Cromartie "AlCrotraz".

    I believe the first time I heard it mentioned was Dan Dierdorf.

    That's pretty funny, because they say they originated it on JetNation:

    http://forums.jetnation.com/topic/85124-origin-of-revis-island/

    According to the New York Times, it originated with his teammates early in the 2009 season:

    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/22/sports/football/22jets.html

    It actually makes more sense to me that Dierdorf heard it from the team and then used it on the air, rather than vice versa.

    im pretty sure in one of the talking points research interviews the broadcasters had during the week before a game Revis said something like- its just us two all alone on an island out there...and the dierdorf or someone kept bringing it up over and over like "out there on revis island"....pretty sure it was against the pats in 09... this might be completely wrong ha but i think its what happened

    Wasn't it NDMick or someone here who was all about the Revis Island stuff. Had a Revis Island facebook page. I think he is the first person I heard use it and then it kind of blew up.

    I think he asked what a good nickname would be on Twitter and one of his followers came up with it.
