    In 1969 on Super Bowl Sunday,
    The Colts came to Miami,
    They thought they'd have their way,
    They thought they'd have it easy,
    They thought they'd smash it up,
    Along came Ewbank's New York Jets and fucked the bastards up!

    It really sheds light on how bad this team has been over it's tenure, when the only highlight happened half a century ago.

    My grandpa always told me as a kid that the NFL has always and will always screw the Jets with officiating by the hands of the refs due to us becoming the 1st AFL Franchises to beat an NFL team during the big game and because of this; we're target practice for the NFL's referees because of Joe Namath embarrassing the NFL with an Ali like bold prediction: They've never forgotten.

    I remember once Curtis Martin took 60+ yard screen for a TD. Yellow flag. Play called back. No TD. Holding on an offensive lineman in which did not have an impact on the play as happened on the damn near other side of the field.

    I said, yup. You're right Gramps. The refs really do hate our Jets. And I've been convinced ever since.

    I’ve never understood this POV. Aka the champ69 rationale.

    If you really think that was the only highlight this team has ever had, why would you still watch?

    In 1969 I wasn't yet alive as wasn't born until 1985 however for those born in 1969 (Jets/Mets champions) also graduated H.S in 1986 (last Mets Championship).

    1969 & 1986 ala two legendary years for the borough of QUEENS.

    I wonder if Chiefs fans sit around lamenting never having accomplished anything since SB4 in 1970?
    Or Cardinals fans decry not having seen anything worth a damn since '47?

    The man submits a beautiful poem about the seminal moment of the franchise, the reason most of us are fans of team - and even here on this site at all, and the first comment is another moan about fifty years? Sheesh.

    (I also just realized you post by "jets69" :p you, of all people)

    Thanks for the correction, poor form on my part to get that wrong. I've amended the original post.

    I was just thinking about that today. The Chiefs have not won a SB since 69-70. Yet - you never hear constant reminders of that fact...….

    Jets fans don't lament or decry anything. They just shit on things the old-fashioned way. And complaining! Don't forget complaining!
