‘Member?: The New York Jets Blow It Against The Patriots, But That’s Why Pencils Have Erasers

Whas happened in sports last night.

• NFL: Oh boy, the Jets would’ve been eaten alive by… well, everyone even slightly affiliated or covering the team after New York gave up a literal last second touchdown to the Patriots to tie the game. But Brett Favre marched the Jets down the field so Jay Feely could pop in the game winning overtime field goal. The win put the team in sole possession of first place in the AFC East.
