good Morning sports fans.......
this day back in 1969, Joe Willie guaranteed 3 days before Super Bowl III that the Jets would win.......... Thanks Joe......
Also, we beat the Bengals on this date in 1983 44-17....... after a strike shortened 1982 Season that had the Jets finishing 6-3...
and again beating the Bengals 26-10...........in 2010.......
wonderful day in NY Jets history, possibly the 2nd most successful day.... Attachments:

wonderful day in NY Jets history, possibly the 2nd successful day.... How could I forget this playoff game at Cincinnati. This is a true story... For some reason, maybe because this was the strike shortened season, the game was not televised where I lived at the time in Yakima, Washington. I picked up a Seattle newspaper that morning which showed the Jets @ Bengals being broadcast on radio in the Seattle area! Having a friend living in Seattle, I called and asked him if he would tune in the game, and lay the phone reciever next to the radio. I was able to listen to the entire game on the phone, long distance. McNeil ran for over 200 yards that game!! The Jets went on to play in the AFC championship against Miami, after beating Oakland. Don't remember what the phone bill was, didn't matter.

That's a really good friend.... I remember how pumped I was after that win.....the strike shortened year really sucked....lost 7 games due to it. I was in High School and I remember how pissed people were that there were no NFL games.
