The New York Jets stink. After tonight’s 41-10 loss to the Colts, they are now 3-9 and officially eliminated from playoff contention. Here are some people thought they would be really good…
During one July segment of Mike and Mike in the Morning, ESPN’s Mike Greenberg went through a touch screen of the entire Jets schedule, and came up with this…
