Maxman Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 A few notes for Sunday that I found interesting. FAN APPRECIATION: In continuing with the team’s annual tradition of Fan Appreciation Day, the Jets will have several fan surprises throughout the day. The team will be distributing rally towels upon entrance to fans with a “Thank You” message and replica player autographs. There will be free Italian roast pork sandwiches at 10:30 a.m. on the island outside the plaza between the MetLife and Verizon gates and free hot chocolate at the Verizon and SAP gates at 11 a.m., while supplies last, among many other in-game giveaways. Marching band: Ninety-six members of the Parsippany High School Marching Band will perform at halftime. nrg: NRG will have their solar charging station on display and a mock locker room photo opportunity. Fans can also charge their phones at NRG’s charging station, powered courtesy of D’Brickashaw Ferguson. Jets Legend Victor Hobson will be signing autographs. Dunkin donuts: Dunkin Donuts will have a sampling truck at the island on the inner loop roadway between the MetLife and Verizon gates. They will be handing out free samples of 4oz. Sugar Cookie Hot Lattes and 4oz. Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolates. Will also give away $5 gift cards to a lucky row during the game. Jetblue: JetBlue will activate an inflatable tailfin as well as a tent on the inner loop roadway island distributing 20,000 green co-branded touch-screen gloves. During the game, a lucky section will receive free round-trip flights to Florida or a Latin America destination, courtesy of JetBlue. Some exclusions will apply. JETS REWARDS: An entire section of fans inside MetLife Stadium will receive t-shirts based on the section with the highest average percentage of Jets Rewards members in attendance. Jets Rewards members will receive 500 points for early entrance into the stadium. But here is the one that really matters: PILOT and Co-pilotS OF THE GAME: This week’s Pilot of the Game will be Jets Legend Mo Lewis. The former linebacker played for the Jets from 1991-2003 registering 52.5 career sacks, 13 fumble recoveries, 14 interceptions and 1,006 tackles. Carol and Joe Harpster, season ticket holders since 1979, will be the Co-Pilots of the Game. Mo Lewis giveth, Mo Lewis taketh away? That is right, I am talking about you Tom Brady. Let's see what you can do on Sunday Mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Troll level 8 billion here for Bowles. Hilariously played. Curious timing by Jets: Mo Lewis a 'captain' with Tom Brady in house Discussing Tom Brady's fabulous career on Wednesday, New York Jets linebacker Calvin Pace cracked, "Blame Mo Lewis." It was Lewis, of course, who gave life to the Brady era, knocking Brady's predecessor, Drew Bledsoe, out of the lineup with a vicious but legal hit on Sept. 23, 2001. Lewis wasn't a one-hit wonder -- he's one of the best linebackers in Jets history -- and he surely will be in the Ring of Honor one day. On Sunday, he will serve as the "Pilot of the Game," the Jets' version of an honorary captain. The timing is a bit dubious, wouldn't you say? The Jets are facing Brady and the New England Patriots in the franchise's biggest home game since 2011, and they're recognizing the player who essentially ushered in the Patriots' dynasty. Why not pick another game? Every Jets fan over the age of 30 will see Lewis at midfield for the coin toss and think back to that fateful day in Foxborough -- and the ensuing 15 years of torment. This is akin to bringing back Mark Sanchez in a dozen years or so to be the pilot for a Thanksgiving night game against the Patriots. Bad karma, right? Actually, it's surprising that Lewis, never a big spotlight guy, agreed to do it. He lives a quiet life in Georgia and has turned down numerous requests over the years to do interviews about Brady and the Patriots. It would be a surreal scene if Brady participates in the pre-game coin toss, but he doesn't typically do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Mo coming back to watch the last game of the HOF career he started. Tom Brady gets knocked out of this game 2nd quarter. Jimmy G comes in and begins 17 years of dominance and Mo Lewis gets enshrined in the HOF as a Patriot. Jets win by 3 and head to Buffalo for the big showdown at 10-5 .
