Confessions of a Polluted Mindset - Ok, I'm a Jets Fan

The Weekly Packers Brain Drain from Jersey Al.

Calm down, let me explain. The Packers have been (50+ years) and will always be my true love. But living in the Land of the Giants and Jets, and reading about them every day in the local papers, I couldn't help but have a small interest in one of these teams. Then 1969 happened - Joe Willie Namath and the underdog Jets upset the NFL apple cart and won my favor as my football "side chick." I followed them minimally from there until I met my future wife in 1980.
