I officially started watching sports seriously in 1998. Since then I have been teased and taunted time and time again by the Jets and Rangers.
The 98 jets up 10-0 then INT and fumbling the game away. A 99 season starts with so much promise only to have Vinny Testaverde shred his achilles. 02 Jets who obliterated the Packers, Pats and Colts 3 weeks in a row., Then get dominated by oakland. In 03Pennington blows out his wrist in the preseason the next year. Another cruel injury tanking a promising season.
In 04 the brutal Doug Brien failure... Reggie Tongue INT, Lamont Jordan 20 yard run, herm settles for another FG and Brien fails again. Freaking woulda been the longest FG ever at Pitts if it had gone in. Then to rub it in the very next season ******* Vinateri breaks the very record that brien failed on.
Two AFC championships in a row.
The 05 NYR losing the division on the last game. Then jagr hurts himself and it was a disaster. Then in 06...game 5 with that piece of dog crap Drury, we had the '09 3-1 series collapse, the 11-12 Rangers putting half of NY in intensive care for heart problems before wilting to the Devs. Then a lockout ruins half the season and two superstars are either injured or out of shape. Another cruel tease.
Now finally FINALLY after all these years of desperately wanting to at least see a favorite team of mine make the Finals/super bowl FINALLY I get to see it happen.
