Monday’s blockbuster trade that is sending Aaron Rodgers to the Jets has understandably galvanized a long-suffering fanbase and that was on full display Tuesday morning. No, it wasn’t in the streets of New York, but on ESPN’s Get Up when former NFL coach and current analyst Rex Ryan showed up to work in a Jets letterman jacket while sporting some impressive team jewelry.
“This happens to be Super Bowl III—my dad’s Super Bowl ring right here,” he said. “Why am I wearing it? Because the Jets are going! And to me, watch out everybody, here come the Jets! Here come the Jets!”
Ryan’s father, the legendary Buddy Ryan, was New York’s defensive line coach when they won the Super Bowl in 1969—the last time the franchise won the coveted title.
