New York JETS = JESTer? (originally TITANS OF NEW YORK!)

The fans here in Denver are split. Most are pissed about the trade. Broncos basically gave him away and now have no back up quarterback. They say he is a distraction, I disagree.

I could imagine the reaction there!

John Elway wasn't a man of his word after all it seems. They did give Tebow away for sure...it was too easy!

And no, he's not a distraction, I agree

Casting a wide net there is the licensed jester whose purpose was to correct as well as amuse; the plain jester who was a fool in his own right; and the jester in the song American Pie whom no one as far as I know has explained as to who that was or was to be.

Spot on!

I went back to check the lyrics...mentioned *THRICE too:

Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But, that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died

AND

Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?

Hi John3:16Me,
I shoudln't be doing this, but couldn't resist posting on this one.

I live near San Diego, and here we have the 'Chargers'.

Their logo is the lightning bolt. If they end up at the Super Bowl next year...

I always appreciate your input Mike

Yikes! That would be crazy, wouldn't it? I still have the N-F-L-M initials you came up with...woah !

Madonna's MDNA album release today still lingers with the football theme for some reason. Her song list titles are screaming for negative attention

It seems we need to look further into this...

What's with the term "Gang Green" for this team?

Is it another pestilential reference? Sounds like the info I posted here about spider bites and the Black Death:

Thread: Lucifer: Angel of Music - The Violin, The US One Dollar Bill and Black Death/Anthrax?!

You gotta love Wiki when you need them

History of the New York Jets

The first organizational meeting of the American Football League took place on *August 14, 1959.[7] Harry Wismer, representing the city of New York at the meeting, proclaimed the state was ready for another professional football team (FIRST IS GIANTS) and that he was more than capable of running the daily operations.[7] Wismer was granted the charter franchise later dubbed the *Titans of New York as Wismer explained, *"Titans are bigger and stronger than Giants."[8] He secured the Titans' home field at the decrepit Polo Grounds, where the team struggled financially and on the field during its first three years.[9] By 1962, the debt continued to mount for Wismer, forcing the AFL to assume the costs of the team until season's end.

Wow...you guys are reading way to much into this..
The Jets used to be the NY Titans.
They played at the old Polo Grounds then moved to Shea Stadium and were re-named the Jets cuz the planes going into LaGuardia
Airport fly right over head.
Tebow is at best a back up QB and as someone who lived in the NYC area for years I don't think he'll last long with the way the fans and the press are there.
Tebow was not traded cuz he was a distraction in Denver...he was traded cuz he doesn't have the skills to carry a franchise in the long run. Just look at his numbers.

It's just the facts sir, just the facts

NOTHING is ever a coincidence
