Popular Post Bruce Harper Posted April 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2020 There once was a man named Maccagnan Who’d pick only defensive linemen But Mac turned his back From a beady-eyed hack Who persuaded the owner to fire him. Then they hired an eagle named Douglas who endeavored to make the Jets suck less On six years he insisted, “cuz with Gase I’m afflicted and the next coup just might not be bloodless!” So big Joe was hoping that he Could turn it around by year three But one look at the roster And he feared it’d be longer With no O-line or back up QBs. With the draft more than nine months away Not much he could do anyway Made an old center richer And then crossed his fingers Then mono brought full disarray While Sam from his kissing got sicker Joe neglected to sign a new kicker Despite the new boss The new season was lost And it couldn’t have seemed any quicker Months later when draft time arrived By socially distant Zoom live Jet Nation held hope That Joe wasn’t a dope And could draft a new starter or five From stiff Roger’s Westchester basement The look on his robot-like face meant That like it or hate it It shan’t be debated We’re stuck with his boring announcements When our turn came up in the first round A larger man couldn’t be found The pick wasn’t hurried But should we be worried That he weighs nearly four hundred pounds? As he smiled with his family and friends One could only be happy for him His joy wasn’t bogus But one couldn’t help notice That his dad makes him look rather slim Then Joe caused some mild heart attacks By insisting upon trading back Though Jets fans were cursing He picked the right person To help form their passing attack When it ended there still was complaining But hardly a doubt was remaining A new level of competence Gave Jets fans confidence That the Pats cheating reign would be waning 9 9 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docdhc Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Like a Jets’ season, I didn’t have much hope opening this thread, but that was pretty good. I read all the verses and enjoyed it. Nice effort! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Sung to the Beverly Hillbillies Come & listen to a story bout a man named Joe A short bald scout Got his start with Ozzie Newsome And then one day when his cell phone rang he got the chance to join the New York City Gang. Gang Green New York that is Sky Scrapers, Movie Stars. Well the first thing you know old Joes a millionaire The Jet fans said, Joe get them out of here So Robby & Trumaine will be sent on their way Now we'll get guys here that are good enough to pay Well now we had the draft & Joe had this to say fans get off the ledge because I know how to play I'll get us a few more picks and soon we'll be on our way With Stars....Athletic Freaks he added Big Ticket & moved back while Jet fans prayed he got his man Mims though we all thought he went astray Traded back? Who does that? then he grabbed himself a safety cause Adams has to get paid And a Rusher, and a running back, a back up QB and a Punter too he was moving and shaking it was crazy a hell he had every Jet fan caught under his spell well now it's time to say goodbye to the 2020 draft He's got a few more free agents lined up in his path to take us to the playoffs is the place he wants to be so he's loading up this team to get to Miami SUPER BOWL that is 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
