    Curtis Martin?How lucky are we to have witnessed one of the greatest running backs of all time? Each week he brought something to be excited about. So consistent; diehard Jet through and through. A true model to society and definitely a person to aspire to be like. You think of talented sport athletes; how cool, friendly, and committed they are, but Curtis Martin was always beyond. This is a man who had one goal, Win a Super Bowl.

    I still can't believe he's gone. As a Jet fan I go so used to seeing him consistently put up great numbers. He is a class individual and we should all carry ourselves the way he did.

    He certainly deserved to win one - an SB. But, to make the HOF on shear accomplishment and merit alone in this day and age says a heck of a lot about how good he really was.

    I know he isn't in the HOF yet, but to deny him would be a crime.

    We should sticky this thread, as a reprieve from the misery that is Monday mornings on TGG in a losing season....

    Always lifts our spirits to talk about one of the best players ever to wear green and white....

    i bought another jersey of #28 (my old one was just too worn down). Wearing #28 and #80 gives you a great and with the freshness of their retirement, a little sad feeling!!!

    Hopefully, we will be able to find guys, of who we can be as proud as of those 2 sometime again!
