Yet everything was all right about this scene, too. These were the almost 50 Jets Legends who showed up for the weekend to create and renew old bonds and to be celebrated by the current Jets and fans at Sunday's training camp practice.
"This is great," said John Schmitt, the center for the Super Bowl III Jets and a recognizable part of the Legends community ever since, "just to come and see the guys and laugh and tell stories and listen to everybody break Buttle's backside."
Besides Schmitt and golfing partner Greg Buttle, also on hand were Ring of Honor members Mark Gastineau, Al Toon and Wesley Walker, Super Bowl teammates Ralph Baker, Randy Beverly, Emerson Boozer and Jeff Richardson, and many others.
