Another Jets Season Gone…Like So Many Others

Another season has come and gone for my Jets. What was once cause for hope, has long since been eradicated. Where there was opporutnity, it has vanished. And now once again the future is…uncertain at best.

The ride back from the Meadowlands last night was not particularly somber, fans were neither bitter nor shocked. Instead, it was an all-too-typical atmosphere. These are the Jets. They had provided false expectations and failed to deliver. Which is to say the season fell perfectly in line with our collective expectations of this perpetually underachieving franchise.

So now, the news will swirl around Favre and Mangini and shoulders and coordinators. I will tune it all out. Outside of my man Leon Washington, I have no love for anyone wearing green-and-white at this particular juncture and that goes for those wearing helmets as well as those donning headsets. However, I’ve done my ranting and raving and have lost the motivation to continue.

Come late summer I will again read the reports from training camp of renewed energy, emerging stars and, quite possibly, the promise provided by a new regime. And, like a sucker, I will get wrapped up in it all again. Such is being a fan.

For this moment, I bid a not-so-fond farewell to the J-E-T-S and another season of predictable disappointment.

I wonder if there are any takers for Favre Jets jerseys on eBay?
