Repost: New York Jets At The Movies

Given that all pre-server apocalypse posts are gone, I have decided to repost my ?centennial? posts. Since I wrote them all originally in Word, with the exception of a few edits, I should be able to repost them in their original form. I guess if I have a tgg.com identity, it is pretty much defined by these posts. So, for that reason, I?ll get them back on the system (no need to reply.....I just want them back on the server before I get to post 1,000). I?ll space them out a little so there isn?t a DbJ spam-a-thon on the front page.

Last year the American Film Institute released their list of the 100 greatest movie quotes. For this post I?ve taken about two-thirds of these quotes (some are too obscure for people to recognize?or didn?t fit what I was trying to do) and attributed them to someone with some relation to the Jets. I was going to alter some of them to be more Jets specific, but I think it works better with the quotes in their original form. Please keep in mind this is done tongue-in-cheek?if I insult your favorite player/coach/etc don?t take it too seriously. Enjoy.
