Then there was this gem, typifying Jete-fans, buried in the Post story:It's no surprise that the knuckle-dragging NY media gave us a new entry into our Page 1 content before Wilson ever plays a down:
Jets QB Zach Wilson Asked About His 'Hot Mom,' Radio Host Dragged
A New York radio host is getting dragged for asking the freshly-minted Jets QB about his "hot mom."www.tmz.com
Craig Carton blasted for asking Zach Wilson about his ‘really hot’ mom
WFAN host Craig Carton used his first interview with Zach Wilson to ask the new Jets quarterback about his “really hot” mom, and it did not go over well with listeners.nypost.com
There was something in there about him saying to his son they just drafted their next Brady, just you wait and see...the walk comment I think was him commenting on how Jones had a very confident stride when he ran out...
how do you fire a cadaver? Dolan has a pulse but Woody?..surely you jest...see what I did there?
Deep down, everyone knows Mac Jones is going to be the best QB from this class they just can't bring themselves to publicly accept it.

I see it as deep down he knows the jete suck and fck up every QB they draft, and this time it won't be any different. While the pats know how to draft qbs and make them successful
I don't think that Big Vince gets enough credit for the buttfumble. He propelled Brandon Moore into Sanchez' path.Here:

Butt Fumble - Wikipedia

Excerpts:
The Butt Fumble was a notorious American football play from a National Football League (NFL) game played on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2012 between the New York Jets and New England Patriots.
In front of the home crowd of over 79,000 fans at MetLife Stadium and a primetime television audience of over 20 million, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez collided with the rear end of his teammate, offensive lineman Brandon Moore, causing a fumble, which was then recovered by the Patriots' safety Steve Gregory and returned for a touchdown. The play was the centerpiece of a disastrous sequence in the second quarter, wherein the Jets lost three fumbles and the Patriots scored three touchdowns—one each on offense, defense, and special teams—all in the span of 52 seconds of game time. In that second quarter, the Jets held the ball for over 12 minutes (out of a possible 15), but managed to be outscored 35–3.
The game and the infamous "butt fumble" in particular are remembered as the low point of the Jets' 2012 season as the embarrassing loss was the team's seventh of the 2012 season, all but eliminating them from earning a playoff berth. The butt fumble is often considered one of the most inept plays in NFL history and is also ranked as the most embarrassing moment in Jets history by ESPN.
Butt fumble play
The Jets lined up in an I formation, with Sanchez under center. Fullback Lex Hilliard was lined up behind Sanchez in the I, with Greene the deep back. The play call was for Sanchez to fake a toss to Greene running left, while Hilliard would take the handoff from Sanchez running a dive play to the right.
When Sanchez took the snap, he mistakenly turned to the left and Hilliard ran past him. Trying to salvage the broken play, Sanchez scrambled forward towards the line of scrimmage. While this was going on, right guard Brandon Moore was attempting to block defensive tackle Vince Wilfork so the play could develop and the two were locked together at the 32-yard line. Sanchez decided to slide to protect himself, not realizing where he or his lineman was. As such, when he started the slide Sanchez hit Moore in his rear end, immediately losing his balance and possession of the football. As Sanchez fell to the turf and Moore fell on top of him, the football bounced out to the right side of the play, near the 32-yard line, directly in front of Steve Gregory, whose earlier recovery resulted in Vereen’s touchdown. Gregory collected the ball with his fingertips and ran untouched into the Jets' end zone for a scoop-and-score touchdown. With the extra point, the Patriots took a 21–0 lead.
Joe McKnight’s fumble
Then, as if things could not get any worse for the Jets, they allowed another turnover and score the very next time they touched the ball. On the kickoff following the Butt Fumble touchdown, Jets return specialist Joe McKnight fumbled the ball into the air and Patriots' receiver Julian Edelman caught the fumble in mid-air, and returned it 22 yards for New England’s third touchdown in 52 seconds of play, giving them a 28-0 lead. The TV cameras found Jets coach Rex Ryan on the sideline exclaiming, "Un-****ing-believable!"
Some Jets fans began to leave as the ones who stayed voiced their displeasure with the way the team had played so far. Many turned their ire on Sanchez and began chanting for Ryan to insert backup Tim Tebow into the game. However, the Jets did not disclose until after the game that Tebow had been nursing an injury and, despite listing him as active, would not play him in the game.
Rest of the game
By the two-minute warning before half time, the score was 35–0 after Edelman caught a 56-yard touchdown from Brady. The stadium loudspeakers played "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over."
Nick Folk put the Jets on the board before the half ended with a field goal and the Jets managed to get within 35-12 after a Patriots safety and a Bilal Powell run, but Brady and Stevan Ridley rushed for fourth quarter touchdowns and Dustin Keller caught a late touchdown to close out the scoring.
The Butt Fumble’s legacy
Within minutes, viral video of the butt fumble spread on the Internet, and it was widely mocked in the news media over the following week.[30] "Butt Fumble" is the official NFL name for the play.
When Sanchez watched the replay with some of his teammates, they were generally supportive. "Hopefully we'll laugh about it later," he said.[32] Moore remarked of the play's popularity, "The littlest things nowadays turn into Internet sensations. It's not surprising." When asked if he found the play amusing, Moore answered, "No."
In August 2013, New York Post sports reporter Justin Terranova wrote that the butt fumble "has come to define Sanchez's downfall with the Jets".[33] Terranova wrote that the play had unfairly overshadowed Sanchez's AFC Championship campaigns in the previous two seasons, as well as Moore's "ten years manning a generally-solid Jets offensive line." When Moore retired in 2013, he reflected on the play, "It's amusing to me that people think it's so amusing. The way I look at it, I don't think it should have any link to my career. I don't think it stands for what I was as a player for 10 years. I really don't give it much thought."
Shortly after the game, Sanchez remarked, "It's the way it goes and will probably be on a blooper reel for a while. That's just part of playing."
Sanchez would be proven right by ESPN's SportsCenter. At the time, SportsCenter had what they called "Not Top 10" blooper reel segment, which aired every Friday morning during the daytime edition of the program and featured a segment titled “Worst of the Worst”, where fans voted online as to whether or not the #1 play on that week’s Not Top 10 was worse than the play that had previously won the vote. The Butt Fumble was chosen as the worst play in the Not Top 10 that aired the day after the game, and fans chose it as the Worst of the Worst shortly thereafter.
Anchor Jay Crawford compared the lowlight with the Stanford Band's involvement in The Play during the 1982 Cal–Stanford Big Game, and with Jean van de Velde's meltdown at the 1999 Open Championship. Anchor Kevin Negandhi listed the ingredients that contribute to the play's longevity: it features a celebrity on a well-known team making an embarrassing mistake that is immediately punished by the opposing team scoring, and the comedic "butt fumble" nickname completes "the perfect storm."
Sanchez addressed the coverage in an August 2013 interview: "People ask me about the butt fumble and say, 'Gosh, doesn't that really bum you out?' Are you kidding me? You think every Friday if it comes on 'SportsCenter' I'm just down in the dumps? Who cares? I'm working out. I'm hanging with my family. I'm doing some charity thing. It's the last thing on my mind."
For forty consecutive weeks, each Not Top 10 finished with the Butt Fumble as the Worst of the Worst. Not only were fans still voting for it nearly ten months after it originally occurred, none of the plays that made the worst of the week before even came close to defeating it in the Worst of the Worst vote. On September 6, 2013, ESPN decided that it was time to move on from the Butt Fumble and retired the play from further Worst of the Worst consideration. A SportsCenter producer explained that it was time to "start fresh" as the 2013 NFL seasonbegan. Negandhi concluded, "Time to get some new material and years from now, when we see a really bad play, we'll say, 'But can it compare to the Butt Fumble?' That is setting a legacy." Before retiring the play, ESPN subjected it to analysis on its "Sports Science" segment. In this segment, they show how Sanchez's speed combined with the angle of impact created a force of over 1,300 pounds, well over the 125 pounds required to cause a fumble.
The NFL auctioned Sanchez's jersey from the game in May 2015 for charity for $820. The winning bidder, a Jets fan, said that friends had often ridiculed the play, and bought the jersey to prevent an "anti-fan" from doing so. He said he would frame and display it until the Jets win another Super Bowl. CBS Sports joked, "So basically, the jersey will be up on his wall forever".
On September 29, 2013 another buttock-related fumble involved the NY Jets. In a 38–13 loss at the Titans, new Jets starter Geno Smith was sacked by Titans defensive end Karl Klug; Smith tried to switch the ball behind his back but it brushed off his buttocks and Klug grabbed it and rolled into the end zone.
In 2019, the NFL named it the 99th greatest play of all time.
One of them goes by Michael Carter II, so Mina Kimes started referring to them as "Number One" and "Number Two"!
