From Titans To Jets - The Story Of The New York Jets

New York is without a doubt, one of the world’s fastest and most sophisticated places. Its culture is certainly faster than your average pace of life. The city blooms with the birth of sophisticated fashion being come to life every five minutes. Theater actors are brought out to their best in this place. Even the food is served amazingly! Not only is it a fast paced place of sophistication, it is also the place of various choices! From today’s modern fashion accessories, art works, finely made scrumptious everyday eats, to the most hard to find items; it is without a doubt that New York is the home of two or more. After all, why have one, when you can have two, right?

Indeed this is the thing that sets this city of color and pace apart from any part of the world. It is the capital of option. And indeed it did not leave one of the biggest past time of many sports fanatics behind. New York is so much open to option, that it actually has two NFL (National Football League) teams! What about that? So now whether it is your everyday wear, to your Football team, you just have to pick!

With the proclamation of the New York Giants during the 1920’s, came about the birth of yet another football team during the late 1950’s to early 1960’s. We are talking about the New York Jets. Yes, if you have seen the familiar combination of white and green uniforms in the football field, then that team would be, without a doubt, one of the two New York NFL teams.

Now, to some, the New York Jets and the New York Titans might seem to be confusing and overlapping. Are they actually two different teams or are they one and the same? Actually, they are one and the same. You see, when the team was formed on 1959, it originally had the name New York Titans. Their first ever coach was Sammy Baugh, who at that time was given a $28000 per year contract with the franchise. At around 1963, Werblin, the club’s president and CEO, decided that there was a need to change the name of the franchise in order to symbolize the new obsession of man to travel on not just air, but space itself. Together with astronauts walking in the moon, the team’s name was also then changed from New York Titans, to the New York Jets. From there on, we can directly say that the rest is history. The team has been one of the most competitive teams out there. The team also holds the record as the only team who has had had three straight overtime games in their season. This occurred during the year 2005.

As the frame of mind goes in the Big Apple, No option can be that bad. After all, it would not be an option if it wasn’t a good one. Besides, nothing could be so big in New York if it wasn’t worth noticing.

Which players have played for the New York Jets and New England Patriots?
I generally am not a big fan of the points competitions on Yahoo! Answers, I feel it demeans the great opportunity to spread information that this technology provides us. That being said, I'll break the rule. 10 points to whoever can name the most players who have played for both the New England Patriots and the New York Jets so my roommate and I can settle a debate.
