Anybody here a fan of Charles Schultz' "Peanuts" cartoons? The Jets are such a sad sack group, they are the Charlie Brown of the NFL.
You say the Jags are Charlie Brown? No sir. The Jags are the token black kid, Frankin. Franklin was always there, but not so you'd really notice. That's the Jags. They are in the NFL, but nobody really notices them.
Charlie Brown, however, tried so hard to be relevent. And he always failed.
Charlie Brown would stand on his head to get the attention of the little red-haired girl. Just like Rex Ryan, though good ol' Rex prefers the little hairy foot.
Charlie Brown begged for his dog Snoopy to love and respect him, but Snoopy always laughed at his hapless owner. Mark Sanchez. Although the little red-haired girl might have been the right age for Sanchez now that I think of it.
Charlie Brown was truly Peppermint Pattie's little b1tch. She abused him constantly. Peppermint PATtie? Hmmmm.
Despite years of disappointments and failures, Charlie Brown remained the eternal optimist. Every time Lucy held the football for him, THIS was going to be the time she didn't pull it away, and he was going to kick the ball to the moon. Jets fans in the off season. Ever the optimists. The off season champs 12 years running. And then the season starts, and Lucy pulls the ball away again.
Good grief, Jets.
Bottom half of the league in popularity? Rex's big mouth, whoring out to Hard Knocks, moving out of Giants Stadium were all supposed to lead to relevence.
