First Time Ever (In a lifetime), Jets Are Soarin’

DPNYJets Win

Such is the headline for tomorrow’s NY Daily News after tonight's 28-21 win over the New England Patriots. As tweeted, tonight’s win is the biggest win for the New York Jets I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. And while that may sound a bit far fetched, let’s remember there hasn’t been many “big wins” at all in the history of this franchise. Not only is it exciting to once again get back to the AFC Championship where we are now one win away from the super Bowl, but defeating the New England Patriots as well as silencing Boston and all of New England is especially sweet for this New Yorker. Here is hoping that this post won’t just become a mere memorial for yours truly to look back on, but just one of a few headlines that will make the DP marking a great, and possible, historic season.

Also, below is a video of Jets linebacker, Bart Scott, who expressed a specific type of emotion that describes the feelings of all Jets’ fans who have not only dealt with their own demons with SOJ (Same Old Jets), but the media and haters who have done everything but hand over the Lombardi trophy this week to the Patriots.

In the words of Bart Scott regarding next week’s game in Pittsburgh, “Can’t Wait”.

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 9/15/24

3 Up 1. James Earl Jones - The voice GOAT. But I'll always remember him in one of my favorite movies, Coming to America , in the absolute epic role of King Joffe Joffer. "Where is my son, Akeem!". A great gift to us.   2. A'ja Wilson - The WNBA has entered our mainstream sports landscape because of Caitlin Clark. Yes, that is very true. But there is an amazing talent in A'ja Wilson who continues to dominate, and this week, she set the single-season scoring record and likely will do the same in smashing the single-season rebound record.  3. Inflation Lowest in 3 Years - I know it's a hot-button issue during this election season. BUT! It is the lowest it's been in three years. I'm not crediting or blaming anyone! Just saying! Enjoy the change, y'all.  3 Down 1. Trump Shooting at Golf Course - Look, this is crazy. No matter how you feel about Trump, your thoughts on him as a Presidential candidate, or anything else regarding politics, this should NOT

Thoughts on Second 2024 Presidential Debate

That was soooooooooo much different than what we witnessed in the first debate.  So. Much. Different.  Yet, why does it still feel like not much was impacted? Overall, I stepped away from this debate with the overarching theme that Kamala Harris did what she needed to do. And that was not engage in a pity back-and-forth with Trump who wants to muddy the waters of any debate or discourse, force him to bring something new to the table and force him to get into a policy discussion beyond the usual surface sayings and fire-alarm narratives.  She did that.  For Trump. He has his voters. He is not losing them. But I thought Trump didn't do enough to interest those voters who have soured on him as well as those who are not yet sold on Kamala (this administration, or even the Democratic Party).  We saw the same from Trump. No need to answer questions. Dictate the narrative with what you want. Reply with emotion. Evade policy discussion. And you know, be Trump.  Was there a winner? In a tra
