I have memory fog, too. And Buddy D. started the "Aints" nickname, when he whipped out the first paper bag. |

Actually, Richard Todd was the QB for the Jets at that game. We still had Archie at QB.
Another side note about that game....the Jets had a moment of silence in honor of John Lennon (I think it was before the game started). This game took place on the 1st weekend after Lennon was killed outside his apt in NY on Dec. 8. |

more cool history, Yat.
I wonder if it was that game that inspired Jets fans to burn Todd's Jersey in the stands? |
