SoFlaJets Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 August 22, 2007 A Titan-ic development By Tom Rock It's not much of a surprise to anyone who has stuck their head in the Jets merchandise tent this summer, but the Jets will wear throwback Titans jerseys when they host the Eagles on Oct. 14. The franchise was known as the Titans from its inception in 1960 until they became the Jets in 1963. "Gang Navy Blue and Gold" will also welcome some former Titans players at the game, including Don Maynard and Curley Johnson. They were Titans who also played in Super Bowl III. Mangini joked that they were even looking into playing the game at the Polo Grounds. Brings up an interesting point, though. Why not have the Jets play one final game at Shea before they blow the mother up? How cool would it be to have the Jets play there in the middle of the 2008 season, after the Mets are done with it so as not to impugn the lovely sod. Say, an early November game against the Dolphins? I know these things take forever to get NFL approval, but it might be worth looking into. It would also endear the Jets further to the LI fans which they will be leaving for their new Florham Park facility. Pelzman just noted that, if it is indeed throwback day for the Jets, Mangini should publicly disclose injuries just as they did in the 60s. Let's hear from you fans ... would you want to see the Jets play one last game at Shea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Let's hear from you fans ... would you want to see the Jets play one last game at Shea? Um, no. But if we are taking requests can they play in my backyard? That would be pretty cool. I will cook hamburgers for the long island fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
