During the 2022 preseason, I wrote the following lines as part of a poem about a certain New York Jets positional battle:
Ficken, Castillo, McLaughlin
It became somewhat funny
The Jets kicking disaster
That was 2020
But wait! There’s more
In 2021
Ammendola, Kessman, Pineiro
Joined into the fun
Where will it doink next?
The groans filled the air
A touchdown’s only six
When a Jet kicker’s here
This was only a marginal exaggeration to describe the Jets’ comically sad kicking situation ever since the departure of Jason Myers following the 2018 season.
