Same as it Ever Was?

And so, on a snowy Sunday evening in New York, the Jets are playing for a playoff spot. It is the last regular-season game at Giants Stadium–the Giants were crushed in their finale last week and they are getting spanked again today in Minnesota. Now, stranger things have happened, so why shouldn’t the Jets win tonight? Still, this being the Jets–childhood memories of AJ Duhe, of Mark Gastinau and his 4th and 15 roughing the passer penalty, come back in a rush of disappointment–the smart money is on them finding a way to blow it.

I hope I’m wrong. I’m glad I don’t bet. And I’m even happier that I save all my angst for the Yankees, so no matter what happens, I won’t lose any sleep over the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets.
