docdhc Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I was `11 and it was the start of a magical year. Mets in the fall, than the Knicks after that. Not too many championships since but that was sweet. Made me the fan I am today, for better or worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAR I Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I used to love it and respect it but now I can't stand thinking about it. It's time for us to get there again, I'm done with reminiscing. No more celebrations, no more reunions at the stadium, I don't want to hear about Super Bowl III anymore. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I actually experienced was the Rangers in 94. The Mets I was only 3. Yes it has been very tough since Namath but the one glimmer of hope is that we finally have a young franchise QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwave81 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I was 10 at the time, and that season is the reason I'm still a NYJ fan today. God I am old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time to write a new story. The Rangers went 54 years without a Stanley Cup. It's unfathomable that the Jets are a few years away from that dubious distinction. Sam Gase is going to get it done. No more Broadway Joe talk. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsYanks13 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Joe Namath sold his soul to the devil. Give the man credit. Who else would do that? He also had quite a selection of ladies to canoodle with. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I definitely agree, it does not get forgotten however we just don’t need to celebrate it or talk about it anymore. If you think about the fact that we’ve all known today was the anniversary since at least this morning and this thread was created this afternoon and has barely any traction, speaks volumes. Its not cool anymore. It’s just sad SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're now "celebrating" futility. As a long-suffering Rangers fan in the 80's I don't remember any anniversary celebrations of the 1940 team that last won the Cup, I don't remember any pregame honors, I don't remember any jersey retirements. There was nothing. They were treated like they didn't exist. Because at the 50th anniversary in 1990 it was ancient history. While 1968 may seem like only yesterday to some of you, it's a long, long time ago. It's time to let it go. It's been played to death.

I've got a closet full of Super Bowl III memorabilia that I bought in the early days of eBay circa 1999. Super Bowl III program, Super Bowl III ticket stub, Super Bowl III pennant, Super Bowl III ashtray, Super Bowl III media guide, Super Bowl III Tudor Electric Football, AFL Championship Game Ticket (unused, very rare), and even an AFL Championship Game Clock given to VIP's at Shea. So I feel it. At least, I did years ago. It will never be forgotten, and it was an epic moment for the AFL and all that. But the Jets play this thing very hard, way too hard, and for way too long. Used to be I would see Namath and feel pride. Now he just makes me sad, I see him and I hear "19-40! 19-40! 19-40!" in my head all over again and it makes me ill.

SAR I I’m not a hockey fan but I don’t have to be to know that the Rangers’ 1940 Stanley Cup win was not remotely as consequential as the upstart, underdog, AFL N.Y. Jets victory in SB III.

I think this team needs to stop celebrating ancient history and mediocrity and focus entirely on the future. We have hired a great head coach for this team. He's going to restore order, he's going to be innovative, and we are going to win a lot of football games. Let's celebrate that. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what it meant to the league, but to the Jets, its our last championship, same situation as a Ranger fan faced in 1990, and trust me, we weren't going to pregame celebrations and getting fan towels celebrating a World War II era team in 1990. The Yankees didn't have 1939 World Series celebration either. Sounds silly, right? Sounds like a bad comparison. But it's the same amount of time. 50 years. The Jets have kept it feeling fresh, to their credit, but only Jets fans view it that way. And some of us are having a reverse reaction, especially in the middle of the Patriots 9 consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances and the Giants getting two Lombardi's in recent memory, it's something to be ashamed of.
