Sure, some grew up in NY and moved away but what about those who didn’t. What kind of person who wasn’t raised in NY would choose to be a Jets fan? Now that’s some strange sh*t right there. ? It was 1979 and I was a 9 year old boy in the backwoods of rural Maine. I stayed up past my bedtime on a monday night to watch football. It was the Jets at the Seahawks, and the Jets got smoked. But... they kept fighting, so I picked them as my team. Did I mention I was a stupid 9 year old kid? 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always like rooting for underdogs. Hardly any bigger underdogs than the NYJ. Also, I really like NYC. The Jets were a pretty natural choice for me. Plus, when I chose them it was during the era of the New York Sack Exchange. It looked like the Jets were getting better. Ha! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the next two games without Vilma? David Harris vs. Buffalo and Washington during back to back games he recorded 41 tackles. 17 vs. Buffalo and 24 vs. Washington. Nuts. And that's when the nickname of Hitman was created and a star was born. Why isn't David Harris (as only a ROOKIE) being credited with the most All-Time solo tackles during a single game within NFL history? Because he clearly recorded 24 combined tackles and 20 SOLO TACKLES vs. Washington? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still was great to see Strummer and Simo. Youtube has been a godsend. Wasn't the place called Bond's Casino? Joe Strummer remains my favorite lyricist and frontman.

docdhc Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 13 hours ago, Defense Wins Championships said: Throughout the 1990's during Football seasons on Saturdays as a pregame ritual for Sundays games my Grandfather would dust off old VCR games that he had recorded throughout the entire 60's and every season my Grandpa would watch those games with both me and my older brother. At 13 years old during our 1998-1999 season (my favorite Football year of All-Time) it finally happened we had finally made it to his favorite 1968-1969 Championship season and that's when I fell in love with his throwback players on Defense Gerry Philbin, Paul Rochester, John Elliott, Verlon Biggs, Johnny Sample, Ralph Baker, Randy Beverly, Jim Hudson, Cornell Gordon and Al Atkinson but Larry Grantham was his favorite player of All-Time and throughout our 1968-1969 season during our 1998-1999 run he always preached to both me and my older brother that 'DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS'. Thinking back my favorite game was beating the powerhouse Oakland Raiders in Queens @ Shea Stadium during the AFC (AFL) Championship Game who had beat us earlier in the season imo that game was more intense than our SB win over Baltimore and he was right all along because against Johnny Unitas our legendary Jets Defense held his Colts to only 7 points). And that's how I came up with the username of DWC in loving memory of my Football hero who introduced me to the game of Football happy birthday pops ??? 8-21-1937 ??? (Carl Lawson's injury has been stressful on our entire fan base so i wanted to create a lighthearted topic of discussion in order to learn more about the meaning behind all of our usernames). I hate too nit pick but we didn’t have vcr’s in the 60’s. How did he have game recordings? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Converted clothing store referred to Bonds Disco. Tickets were oversold for the original engagement and the Clash did lilke three weeks of shows so everyone who had a ticket could go. WIsh I would have gone, but that was probably about a year or two before I discovered the only band that mattered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
