penguini 15 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Ok, I am 95% sure that "Revis Island" originated on jetnation after week 4 or something...does anybody know for sure or am I just mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vudu Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Rex Ryan said "Revis is on an island out there by himself" in a presser early in the season. People took it and ran with it, I know I saw it here first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Someone, can't remember who, recently called the situation "the no-fly zone", which I think is actually a lot better. But oh well. Maybe that's a defense nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbatesman Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Although it literally causes me physical pain to give him credit for anything, the first national media member I heard use the term was Dan Dierdorf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraVerde Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Greg Gumble on CBS was the first to call it Revis Island (at least i think it was Greg Gumble) during the Saints game I believe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetophile Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I remember hearing it after the NE game in September, but I don't know who specifically coined it. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/22/sports/football/22jets.html ^There's mention of it here near the end of this article as well, an old article which got me ramped up, by the way. Revis is great, we all know that; but he strives for it. His work ethic on top of his natural talent, there'll be no stopping him for years to come. And he's a JET. Imagine that? The other interpretation of the term is that he strands opposing players on his island and they can't get off. Hehe. I'm sure this has been posted before, but so what? GO JETS!
