The Jets are finally "getting it"-very important item

No penalty for these flags

Who were those fetching young women TV cameras caught on the sideline during the Jets-Lions game? Were they, gasp ... cheerleaders?

Nope. "They're flag carriers," said Ron Colangelo, the Jets' VP of public relations.

Oh. It turns out the eight-women "Jets Flag Crew" debuted Oct. 15 against the Dolphins, and it features several current or former dancers for the Islanders and/or Dragons.

In most of Football America, this would be no big deal. But the Giants never have had cheerleaders and the Jets have not for decades. So adding flag-wavers, whether or not they are a subtle bridge to a future of short shorts and bikini tops, is big news here.

Colangelo said the idea was to promote crowd response and excitement, and that it has received mostly positive reviews from fans. "We're trying to continually be progressive in our approach," he said.
