Well, he coached against us in Super Bowl III and got retroactive revenge. Taught Belichick how it's done. I blame Shula 90% more about the Mud Bowl than I do the Jets, but Michaels Jets should shoulder 10% responsibility for not adjusting. Todd threw low the entire game and was asking for it. BTW, Darroll Ray and Chuck Ramsey, slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch . . . It pretty much was a crap game that could've gone either way, even given the conditions, but the Jets never know how to step on anyone's neck except their own. ^Hmm, pretty spiffy, not bad at all; but goddamn it, Richard Todd even tried to muscle in on Joe Namath with Brut. I actually love the smell of the original Brut. It's very funny to me that every designer mentioned in this ad later went on to make their own fragrances. Do you think Calvin Klein would be caught dead wearing Brut today? For all of you old stupid Drakkar Noir freaks, that shit is terrible. It's like a cross between bug spray and Aqua Velva. Richard Todd, right. As you were.
I don't care what those young whippersnappers (or millenials or whatever they're being called these days) say, please never stop posting old memories like this. I love them. It makes me feel like I was there. I remember seeing the televised games from Shea, with the dirt infield, winds whipping around and always trash flying in the air. LOL
I actually do remember something crazy like that....I want to say it was 1980 - the year he threw 30 INTs....
And wasn't that a blast from the past back when the Jets and Giants played at the same time every single week unless one of them was on the west coast.........that stopped for a long long time until recently with the time changes nowadays especially week 17......AND if both teams happened to be broadcast say by the same network - say CBS - at the same time the Jets would always get the shaft and be shown on tape delay locally later that night if I'm not mistaken....I was very young.
Wow, I don't remember tape delayed Jets broadcasts. I do remember 1 o'clock coming, the Giants would be on TV, and if the Jets were home, the game was most likely blacked out in NY. I'd walk to my room and put on Marty Glickman. Emerging 3 hours later, usually dejected. That Jets Pats game in '78 mentioned earlier was a rare televised Shea game. I sent in for season tickets in December of that year, and was held hostage for the next 37 years ; ) See? The blackout rules had some effect.
Todd was surrounded by an awesome cast... O-line, WR's, Freeman McNeil, and the New York Sack Exchange, and fucked it up almost as bad as Mark Nacho Sanchize. Todd and Nacho will always have a special place in my heart due to their ineptitude, and natural ability to choke. Both these guys were pretty boy wussies, who blew chunks when it mattered most. Maybe one day this team will get a real QB to lead us...... I hate to say it but, even these two ass clowns would be better than the crap we currently have at QB.
You can't fool me. You probably were an English Leather fanboi. Pierre Cardin was the disco scent of choice. No self respecting coke whore from the Five Towns could resist its power.
English Leather, haha. I much prefer, "Skin Bracer!" Slap, slap, byyyyyyyyyyyy Mennen! Haha, I remember the glass bottle that could've easily been mistaken for mouthwash. You have to pick your after shave wisely if you want to be a chick magnet. All of that aside and in all seriousness, I really do love the smell of Brut, always will. Brut 33, they ramped up the alcohol content because it was "becoming too expensive" to make. lol, ambergris is so hard to find. It's still the best smelling cheap chit parading as high art there is. I also love Actif Blue. Discontinued and repackaged, not the same. https://www.brutworld.com/brut-products/ ^Hahahahaha, 'THE ESSENCE OF MAN', LIVE LIKE A MAN, SMELL LIKE A MAN'. Thank you , God. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making my dreams come true in small inelegant cheesy ways. So, Richard Todd . . . Does anyone remember the Sunday newspaper insert 'Parade' featuring Richard Todd and Phil Simms on the cover? It was the year Simms was drafted, and there they were, posing with footballs trying to look manly. "Super Bowl Bound" caption, in their goddamned respective jerseys. Simms was so pale, he looked like he was held captive in a basement without windows for 20 yrs, & Todd looked he had Vidal Sassoon do his hair. Good God, the stuff I impulsively threw away over the years. Yeah, well, guess who went to the SB? Not us. Damn it all to hell.
I remember going to a Monday night game in 85, maybe 84, Jets Miami, Jets put it to Miami and they brought back Todd to be a backup in that game, I don't know how long he lasted before he left for good.
Eh not almost as bad...far worse. Sanchez had 9 TD's and 3 INT's (60.5%) in six playoff games, Todd had four TD's and 12 picks (55.7%) in four playoff games. And honestly I think Todd had a better offense around him too.
Hmmmm.....they brought Todd back as a back up for a couple of weeks in the middle of the 1986 season after the Saints released him and O'Brien had a knee cartilage injury that caused him to miss a week or so. The Jets were slaughtered in Miami on MNF that year.....
Yes he did.......sprained it the Friday before the '79 season opener against the Browns. He told the trainer and they worked on the swelling all day Saturday and kept it from Michaels. They got the swelling down with the help of a huge bandage. Michaels found out during warm ups and exploded.....LOL. Meanwhile the bandage worked but after the Jets took the lead with under two minutes to play Robinson ripped it off because he said it was starting to feel uncomfortable. Wouldn't you know the Browns hit a long deflected pass with the help of a penalty to get into FG range to tie the game....Robinson's thumb blew back up like a balloon... and he throws a pick on a wobbly duck that wins the game for the Browns.......that was the last snap Robinson ever took for the Jets.....yes you can't make it up. LOL
Not possible to do so, oxymoron included ; ). I don't give a crap about how many fans of other loser teams ask God what have they done to deserve this, the Jets own surreal a like fckn Dali painting on a Rikers Island Wall. Oh, wait, the Jets used to practice at Rikers . . . We've all had some really fun exciting moments over the years - that's only partly why we'll never stop being married to this idiot franchise. My biggest was my bond with my Daddy. I've probably sat through or watched practically every Jets debacle since pain was invented. One of my favorite Christmas Eve memories was Jets vs Balt in 2000. I was cooking up a storm and Jermaine Lewis returns two punts for 2 TDs. I tore off one my Jets slippers and tried to kill it like a dog rag-dolling a cat to death by the neck. I said about 100 rude things about baby Jesus, and I don't think I ever stabbed 7 fishes with a fork so hard in my life. But, it's stuff like below that makes it worth it on occasion. When Larry Grantham was in danger of losing his SB ring that he put up for auction to defer medical costs for cancer treatment, I mailed him a sweet letter and sent him a $50 donation. It was just unconscionable to me that these guys are discarded like trash. I don't give a rat's ass about 12-Step programs and the cult of it, but he's a really sweet and giving old man who has helped a lot of people through Freedom House and nobody was giving a shit. David Harry called me after my letter was returned due to a faulty glitch in the address but it got to the right place eventually. Anyway, Mr. Grantham very gracefully mailed me an even sweeter letter back. As in on personal stationary, rickety hand-written cursive along with an autographed photo. Got me right down in here. His ring was rightfully returned. BTW, Woody Johnson did nothing. At least that we know of.
That was very thoughtful and honorable for you to do something like that..........Woody Johnson while charitable himself at times really doesn't seem to want to embrace the old days....he seems set on creating his own culture. Unfortunately while he certainly has the money to pay top executive and scouts he simply doesn't have the football knowledge. Yes I remember December 24, 2000....... I remember the Jets kicking the Ravens up and down the field outgaining them by something like over 300 yards. I remember the punt returns, the turnovers, the ridiculous INT return, and the fact that the Ravens only had 5 first downs that day. 5 ! And managed to put up 34 points........so once again....YOU CAN'T MAKE IT UP........LOL
