42 reasons to celebrate New York Jets' Super Bowl shortcomings - Sun Sentinel

Herewith, 42 Reasons to Celebrate the Jets' Playoff Elimination (one for every season they've failed to get back to the Super Bowl):


42. Sal "The Tripper" Alosi won't be getting a ring.

40. All of Antonio Cromartie's 3-year-olds

39. Braylon Edwards' scraggly early-season beard.

38. Mike Westhoff's B-cup, er, pecs.

37. Santonio Holmes coming that cheap.

36. That stupid spread-armed, flying thing.

33. Litigious team masseuses and their husbands.

17. Everything Joe Namath failed to do after his guarantee.

14. Ray Romano and Kevin James, celebrity Jets fans.

11. All five forced episodes of Hard Knocks

10. Rex on the treadmill in the morning. Like that's going to make a dent.

8. The wit and wisdom of Schotty.

7. The Terminator. He's just a freakin' rookie fullback.

6. "Let's go get a (expletive) snack!"

5. Rex slamming his headset to the ground in Pittsburgh.

4. Sanchize wiping his snot on Mark Brunell's jersey. (Gross!)

3. Thinking they could steal Jason Taylor from the team he loves and be the ones to get him his long-awaited ring.

2. Fireman Ed having NOTHING to do until draft day.

1. J-E-T-S. Done! Done! Done!

Maybe this is too much of a nerd/fanboy thing to be annoyed about, but giving someone named John Conner the nickname "Terminator" is just stupid. Conner and the Terminator were enemies.

It would be like if the Jets drafted a guy named Clubber Lang and everyone started calling him "Rocky."

You know what would have been a great reason to celebrate the Jets being eliminated from the post season, The Pats beating them, instead of losing to them at home.

+1. Well said and asking another team to do your job for you is a loser's mentality.

Not if there's no way you can be there to do it yourself. I was very happy to see the Green Beans eliminated last week.

The Jets were the better team this year.
