    Thanks for the memories! I was sixteen, and that's one of the best moments I can remember from that time.

    Thanks so much for sharing some really memorable pics. I was a teenager when that magic year took place. Took a lot of razing through the years, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

    I am hoping and praying for those older Jets fans who were to young to remember. Hopefully they experience that feeling.

    Nice

    The beautiful video and classic narration from the NFL films team cemented my love in the early 80’s

    already loved the Jets , but was a little young to understand Namath


    watching these made me Clark Kent at 10 years old


    I’m happy and sad at the same time

    Time to wake this thread up. Maybe someone can change the tread title.

    Another year has gone by since Super Bowl III.

    You know you're old when you clearly remember something that happened 53 years ago!!

    Joe Namath made me a Jets fan.


    That Super Bowl win cemented it for life.

    No, actually you know you're old when you are old enough that you should remember, but don't. ;)

    As of this moment I do still remember it all very clearly, so that's a good thing. The memory itself, of course, is somewhat bittersweet when the last 53 seasons are taken into account.

    I was 12 years old, I remember the Jets being on every Sunday and watching the AFL games every week I had no idea that the NFL was supposed to be so much better, Kansas City solidified 1 year later that they weren’t.

    Yeah, but then you'd be too old to know you should remember.

    I'm one of them. Mets I knew. Jets not yet.

    If anyone would care to feel old right now… On this day my mom was a 9 year old living in Montclair, NJ. It will be 21.5 years until I am born.
