    Is Leon still taking those pre-game dumps even though he's out for the year? Maybe that's why we are winning.

    I wear my green 60's logo Mitchell and Ness hat.

    I permanently retired the 80's pompom hat after the playoff loss to the Pats in 2006 and the Falcons loss this year.

    More importantly, there is the tale of the Jets lighter.

    _________________________________________________

    Purchased after the first preseason game at a Hess station somewhere in Central Jersey, the Jets lighter started it's long and twisted tale. It traveled back to San Diego with me that week.

    I kept it by my side early in the season during a 3-0 start.

    Not sure about game 4. Can't include because I really don't know.

    Traveled to the east coast without the lighter, watched losses against the Dolphins and Bills.

    Not sure of the lighter's location during the Raiders and Dolphins weeks.

    The lighter was left in my car for the losses to the Patriots and Jaguars.

    I pulled it back out during the Carolina game. It stayed with me until my next trip to the east coast. I accidentally left it on my dresser when I was heading to the airport. During this trip I was at the Meadowlands for the 10-7 heartbreak to the Falcons, without the lighter.

    The lighter was back on hand for the win at Indianapolis.

    Then, during the week leading up to the regular season finale against the Bengals, the lighter died. Done. Over.

    Same old Jets, I thought. Dying off just before it counts.

    In what turned out to be remarkably fortuitous, if you are superstitious, I mistakenly left the lighter and my house keys at my brother's house during the week.

    The lighter was in his possession when his beloved Eagles were shutout 24-0 to lose the NFC East. I didn't have the lighter and the Jets won 37-0 to make the playoffs.

    Coincidence? Maybe.

    I was convinced the luck of the lighter was reversed once it was dead.

    That Friday, I received a package in the mail from my brother with my keys and the Jets lighter.

    The Jets Lighter.


    Realizing the circumstances of the lighter before it arrived, I set out to rid myself of the Jets lighter before the first playoff game with the Bengals.

    Living in San Diego, I went to a friend's party and "left" the Jets lighter in a kitchen cupboard. Conveniently, he is a Chargers fan.

    Jets lighter at his house, Jets beat Bengals and Chargers.

    Not sure if I want to grab it from his place and slip it to a Colts fan friend of mine or leave it where it is.
