Yup...not much time to post. I work late and now I have a baby so time is limited so most posts are work in progress. I'd have to see this should be a 3 or 4 DVD set. Hi-Def of course. And it comes with a collector's edition insert booklet. How about $39.95 !!! I'd spend it in a second !
Under Heartbreaking defeats you could put the 2nd Half collapse of the 1998 AFC championship game to the Broncos and Keith Byars fumble
don't know why this game stands out, but when Blair Thomas fumbled on Monday night, I sat in the dark for about an hour wondering how the hell we lost that game!!!
PLEASE! You left out Joe Namath's "end run" touchdown to beat the Giants in the 70's and you also left off Joe's most famous movie - "CC and Company" from 1970 featuring teammate Mike Battle on his 3 wheel hog! The grocery store scene in the opening of the movie is priceless!
damn... nice post, that video would be amazing and would be great to show my 1 year old son the history of the Jets, when he gets a little older, it would be great for me as well because I have only been a fan since 1996
Gr8 idea! I would def. buy it. I was wonderin why there is not a JETS dvd for purchase? Kinda dissapoints me that there is an eagles dvd but no history for our beloved team.
This is post of the year material! Way to be Birdman! In reality, I'd buy the DVD, but looking at it, while some of it is inspiring (Dennis Byrd Walking, Wayne Chrebet coming out of nowhere), the rest is downright depressing!
