The mayor of NYC, Michael Bloomberg, has dubbed Manhattan “Revis Island” at a Times Square pep rally on Thursday, marking the site with an unofficial “municipal-style” sign. It stems from the team’s saying that an opposing team’s wide receiver has been put on Revis Island when being guarded one-on-one by Darrell.
With the AFC Championship a few hours away, how much longer will the sign be posted?
“The Jets have the biggest heart in the NFL and we’re going in as underdogs,” explained Rubin Polizzi, 26, of Manhattan, whose face was painted green, white and black, and topped by a wig of spiky green-and-white hair. “It’s not who you have on the team, it’s the size of the heart in the team.”–SportsIllustrated.com
Obviously every other NFL team doesn’t really care whether or not they win or lose. They’re just happy to have a team and be out there playing–the Jets are the only team that wants to win the Super Bowl. In fact, the Colts, Vikings and Saints should all just concede victory to the Jets because they play harder and want it more than they do. Why even bother going to Miami? Please. All of this coming from a guy playing dress-up on the Isle of Delusion, with Bloomberg as the Pied Piper. The best part is that Bloomberg bet Indianapolis’ Mayor Gregory Ballard a shrimp cocktail from Indy’s best steakhouse if the Jets win, and a Staten Island pizza if they lose. What a dumb bet. If he has to share that shrimp cocktail with Rex Ryan, someone’s losing a limb. Or their entire body.
Shrimp cocktail.
Because when I think of Indianapolis, I think of great seafood.
Exactly. Don’t they have good steak there? Or something midwestern?
