Gridiron Thinking

My Mom called me up on Sunday to let me know the New York Jets won their playoff game.  The Jets, of course, had a mediocre season but seem to have taken on another life in the playoffs, and the fact that my Mother noticed tells you how unexpected it was.   That being said, I should mention that my parents had some of the first NY Jets season tickets starting in 1964 at the old Shea Stadium.   Anyway, if my mother who drifted away from any organized sports when the Dodgers left Brooklyn tells you how unexpected last Sunday's score was.  

The Jets have fumbled with a number of different logos over the years, and I'm happy to see that the classic logo of the Broadway Joe era (more or less) has been back on the field for a few years now.   And for all you Queens maniacs, we've got it on a t shirt.   We also have a Giants logo t.  Hey, we're all about equal time here at Awesome Avenue.  I know, I've hardly mentioned the Colts, but hey, Sinatra didn't sing that if you can make it in Indianapolis, you can make it anywhere.

So it's the Jets and the Colts on Sunday.   It was the Colts the Jets beat back in Superbowl III for the title.  Anyone from the Jets planning to "guarantee a win this Sunday"?
