    I was born in Georgia, but became a life long Jets fan after seeing the Dennis Byrd Story with Peter Burg when I was a kid. Since then, he's been my favorite Jet of all time. Reading the news of his death last week was like losing a family member.

    With that said, is there anyway to see the tribute the Jets did for him online? If not, for those who were they live, what was it like?

    RIP #90

    Try the Jets website? I was there today, and would describe it as short, and sweet. Some action highlights of Dennis sacking some name QB's, and of course the day he walked out of the tunnel triumphantly. What I found more impressive than the tribute, was the amount of fans in the stands wearing #90 jerseys. I was also there that fateful day and remember the play as vividly as any play I saw in today's game. Dennis was just beginning to come into his own as defensive stalwart, but what he did after that inspired more people than anything he could've done on the football field.
