It’s safe to say that Joe Namath has reached his boiling point with the Jets.
Poor Joe Namath. He has New York Jets green and white running through his veins. He loves his team dearly, but what he saw on Sunday may have just been the straw that broke the camel’s back on Namath’s patience with the 2017 edition of the Jets.
New York is playing at home against the Kansas City Chiefs, and on Kansas City’s opening drive, Alex Smith threw a 22-yard opening bomb to tight end Travis Kelce. The march to the land of six was an easy five-play, 75-yard drive, and ticked Namath off so much that he tweeted this:
Yes, the ’17 edition of the Jets is beginning to drive the great “Broadway Joe” to the point of fury.
Who can blame him? They probably won’t make it to the big dance, which is enough to send many Jets fans into an uncontrollable fury, considering the organization hasn’t been to the Super Bowl since 1968.
The Jets and their rival, the New York Giants, are a combined 6-16 this season. And for the Giants, they’re staring at Eli Manning being benched and their coach, Ben McAdoo, soon to be handed his walking papers.
So, at least Jets fans can say that their situation is not as dire as the Giants, but that isn’t saying too much either, as the Green and White will be facing their own offseason turnover and turmoil that will surely come.
No wonder the great Joe Namath has given up on his beloved Jets.
