shawn306 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/jetsblog/jets_arrive_in_pittsburgh_fans_are_AjXMzHAkED0M5O7FhQ47EM?sms_ss=facebook&at_xt=4d3ba9f4c6b53c75,0 7:48 PM, January 22, 2011 ι By MARK CANNIZZARO PITTSBURGH — The Jets arrived to their team hotel at around 6 p.m. tonight in downtown Pittsburgh and were greeted by a throng of boisterous Jets fans, who shouted the requisite "J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets" chants. Following the lead of Bart Scott’s post-game rant in New England, the fans also yelled "Can’t Wait." As the Jets filed into the hotel from the team buses, amidst the raucous scene was Mark Sanchez having a brief encounter with the father of Aiden Binkley, the 11-year-old Long Island boy whom he befriended last month before Binkley lost his battle with cancer right before the regular season ended. Sanchez spotted Binkley’s father, who was allowed by security to wait in a place where he could have a moment with Sanchez. The quarterback stopped, gave him a long hug and a pat on the back while wearing a somber look. Sanchez then quietly headed up the escalator with a businesslike look with his teammates not even acknowledging the fan hysteria around him. A short time later, Jets veteran fullback Tony Richardson, as he’s been doing upon the team’s arrival to these road playoff games, spoke to reporters. "Every team wishes they were in this position tonight," Richardson said. "Like Dennis Byrd said last week, he said he would trade everything ever had and who he is today for the opportunity to play one game — and that one game for us is tomorrow. "It’s a great opportunity for this franchise, a great opportunity for this city." The Jets, who haven’t been to a Super Bowl since Joe Namath guaranteed and delivered victory on Jan. 12, 1969 against the Baltimore Colts, take on the Steelers tomorrow night at 6:30 at Heinz Field. The winner advances to meet either the Green Bay Packers or Chicago Bears on Feb. 6 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Tex. The Steelers have six Super Bowl titles, most in NFL history, and will not be an easy out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
