We Care about our Jets, we really do. They make us laugh, they make us cry, they make us wonder why.
By no means are the Bozo awards exclusive to our Jets. No franchise — not the Yankees, not the Giants, not the Rangers, not the Knicks or Nets, and certainly not the Mets — is immune to the vicissitudes of fate that are emblematic of the Bozo awards.
Think about how many Bozo awards A-Rod and Isiah have collected by themselves! John Tortorella, anyone? J.R. Smith?
So the intention here is not to pick in our Jets. It's just that Rex Ryan's bizarre backwards-sideways press conference following his decision to put Mark Sanchez in harm's way inspired a recollection of unfathomable events unique to the franchise deserving of the Bozo award.
