Time to welcome Gang Green to reality
<snip>

"It hangs on the far wall of the New York Jets' cavernous field house, high above the playing field -- a 30-foot picture banner of the Vince Lombardi Trophy. It's a new addition to the facility, a reminder of what was -- see the "1968" tag -- and what can be.

What will be, according to Rex Ryan, who expects to add "2010" to the banner in due time.

"Everybody expects us to be a great team," he said, "and we expect to be a great team ourselves."

Starting Monday night, the team with the big talkers, big expectations, bigger-than-life coach and really big stadium will strut to the center of the stage. America's cable-TV stars will face the Baltimore Ravens in a rock 'em, sock 'em football game at the New Meadowlands Stadium, and it's going to be crazy.

And different, but not because they have new digs, a $1.6 billion metal and cinder-block palace. No, it will be different because the Jets have gone from Rudy to Rowdy, the team everybody loves to hate. The Jets brought it on themselves, and now they have to deal with the consequences."

1. I like the Jets.
I don't hate them at all. I like Rex Ryan, I like the trash talking and I like the confidence. Of course, by talking so much shit you are putting a target on yourself but I'm sure they realize this. They seem to welcome it, good for them.

5. The Jet's what is going to fold?
Improper use of the apostrophe.

That aside, I really don't care much if they do. They aren't my team, I just like their attitude. I'd love to have Ryan as my coach.
