I believe NY Jets were named because of the stadium under the flight path - always jets overhead - as opposed to the supersonics, who were named after the Boeing supersonic jet program which was ultimately scuttled as Boeing was running out of money and had to put all thier resources into the new 747 as they were teetering on the edge of bankruptcy - 747's success saved the company.

If it's an achilles tear then i would think it might be a career ender. Depends how motivated he is to keep going. But coming back from that at 41 would be tough.

Re: Rodgers career over?
Question: why are Jets fans generally more likely to also be Mets fans, and are they also partial to a particular NBA or NHL team (since there are two of each in NYC)?
Re: Rodgers career over?
I guessed as much about the NY Jets but the Winnipeg Jets almost seems like a joke. Does Winnipeg even have an airport??? lolauroraave wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 2:24 pmI believe NY Jets were named because of the stadium under the flight path - always jets overhead - as opposed to the supersonics, who were named after the Boeing supersonic jet program which was ultimately scuttled as Boeing was running out of money and had to put all thier resources into the new 747 as they were teetering on the edge of bankruptcy - 747's success saved the company.

I have a friend that is a Mets and Giants fan and he says it is unusal.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 2:56 pmQuestion: why are Jets fans generally more likely to also be Mets fans, and are they also partial to a particular NBA or NHL team (since there are two of each in NYC)?
Some of it is about the Borough where fans grew up but it is also old school vs. new school. Giants and Yankees obviously the former....

Re: Rodgers career over?
it's official - torn achilles - out for the year. That's probably the sun setting on Rodgers career. On the bright side, he got to bang Olivia Munn for a few seasons and he won a super bowl...listed in order of importance, obviously.
