Oh Canada!! Football, Jets, and heartache...

So we are again.. my heart is thumping..i anticipate our next meeting … know this time you are serious.. this time will be different, you wont disappoint. You know I have been dreaming about this since I was a little girl! I thought it might happen last year. It was right around this time, I saw the glimmer in your eye, I felt like this was the closest we have been in years to reaching what I had hoped for so long…And alas you let me down.

Will it happen again this year?

You might be thinking I am talking about a relationship.. well I am, but not with the man of my dreams.. but the team of my dreams, The New York Jets.

OY!

It has been this way since I was 6 years old. My dad was watching this game and so excited about this team and a guy they called broadway joe. Initially I wanted to root for the purple team since purple was my favorite color, but my dad would have none of that, so I was forced to watch the green team.. But boy were they exciting.. and it was funny that this broadway joe wore furs and panty hose, but everyone liked him and he had a nice smile.

How the HECK was I suppose to know that his would be the beginning of 40 years of agony and heartache???

I wont lump all the disappointment into one rant because that would be consider cruel and unusual punishment ,and it might give me a heart attack to revisit it all at one time..

Anyway as for this year.. the team has landed to Toronto to meet the Bills tomorrow night, and since we are not mathematically eliminated, and although a win would only get us to .500, hope springs eternal.. that we could STILL make the playoffs.

Sigh…

I am sure by Friday, I will be curled up in a ball in a corner eating chocolate and Wise cheez doodles ( the official cheez doodle of the New York Jets! ha!)

But for today and tomorrow, I will be dressed in my finest green..

And..

I am confident that Sanchez will not throw an interception, but some beautiful balls Jericho, Dustin and Braylon.

Darrelle Revis will make TO wish he was back in his driveway doing push-ups

Kerry Rhodes will continue last week’s performance and show us what a dynamic player he is!

Ok can I get a chant?

J-E-T-S OY OY OY!!

Uhhh.. I mean JETS JETS JETS!!
