JETS SUCK 2025 EDITION (OFFICIAL): DIVINE INTERVENTION DENIED

You do you, but I'd like to point out that is the Jets Suck thread, not the History of the AFL thread.
mea culpa, admittedly weak on retaining thoughts in threads.
 
Yeah I agree. My level of ****ting on the Jete has limits. Unbelievable that I just typed that. They won the Super Bowl, that counts. It's just so long ago that it's irrelevant.
What foul treason clouds your judgment?
 
Hey it still counts in my book. At least we have bragging rights over KC and Then Oakland.

Bragging rights is all it amounts to, same for the Jete winning it in '69.

I don't know why it's so important to denigrate a great football upset and one of the key games in NFL history.

No one is denigrating its significance as a "great football upset" -- it certainly was. But calling it a key game in NFL history is inaccurate, unless you're interpreting it as persuasive evidence toward the AFL-NFL merger two years later.

I agree. It’s so long ago now it doesn’t matter lol.
 
Super Bowl is Super Bowl.

Super Bowl became THE Super Bowl in 1971, when it began rendering an officially recognized NFL champion. Before that it was a postseason exhibition between leagues. That the AFL didn't have many teams capable of competing against their NFL counterparts is indisputable.

Even to this day, the old-guard NFL remains superior. It's interesting to note that of the 59 Super Bowls played to date, an original AFL team has won just 19 of them.

Id like to see the breakdown on this...

Seahawks and bucs moved from afc to nfc...(somewhat)

What messes with me is the teams that were nfl teams that were merged over to afc

Browns
Steelers
Colts

3 Million bucks a piece im sure had the owners leaping to the new conference.
 
Oh, I've no doubt that the Jete do everything they can to extend the falsehood, and to get their NFL offices to do the same. But note that even on the rings it says "World Champions" not "NFL Champions." The NFL Champions that year were the Colts, and we shouldn't take that away from them.

But don't take my word for it. Just read all of @Tunescribe's Annual Jete Suck threads. That's where I'm getting this info; never would have thought of it this way otherwise.

Or are you a secret Jete fan?
Leave it to the Rats to even screw up winning a SB.

I applied only original AFL franchises to the 19 of 59 Super Bowl winners. And a good portion of those were repeat winners (Patriots, Chiefs, Dolphins, Broncos, Raiders).

 
If you ever get to NFL HQ they have a wall of the rings for Super Bowl Champs and it starts with 1967 (SB1) thru todayso if it is an exhibition game, nobody told them!.

Bills, Chargers, Oilers/Titans ( 3 of original 8 AFL teams)never won a super Bowl but all won an AFL championship or two.
 
This is the world renowned jete suck thread, norms and rules of civility don't apply here

Yes. Look down at the bottom of reflexblue's post and you will see an icon in honour of the late, much-lamented Joker. Joker never held back about the iniquitous JETE and their evil spawn, Roger Goodell. May he rest in peace.

Well, they needed to move 3 teams over to make it even - the leagues were at 15 NFL and 9 AFL teams at the time of the agreement, and 16 and 10 respectively at the time of the merger. It sounds like all NFL teams were offered the opportunity to move, and those 3 accepted providing they got compensated for it (it was viewed as a major step down). It’s hard to believe now, but the Steelers were the NFL’s laughing stock at the time, viewed as even more of a disaster than the Cardinals. They could use all the money they could get. Similarly Art Modell had no money, as would be seen even more clearly 25 years later, so he jumped at the offer. Not sure if the Colts needed the money as badly as the other 2, but obviously they wound up going for it.

The Jets, on the other hand, had to make payments to the Giants for years as part of the agreement, for encroaching on the Giants territory. The Raiders did too, to the 49ers, and that was another reason Al Davis raised his middle finger at the league when he moved them to LA.
