For Pats fans, it’s pretty simple to pick on the Jets. Whether it’s their 42-year drought, feet, Ines Sainz, Jenn Sterger, Joe Namath‘s kiss request, Mark Gastineau, Gate D parties, nearly every draft day up until 2006, or Sal Alosi, it’s not difficult to slam your Jets pals in the Tri-State area.
The Jets-Patriots rivalry — knotted up at 51-51-1 — dates back well before than the advent of the pink Tom Brady jersey. It goes back even further than Bill Belichick‘s hasty exodus from Long Island to New England, where The Hooded One has a collection of three sparkly rings and a one-way ticket to the Hall of Fame.
From Curtis Martin to Mo Lewis to SpyGate, there are plenty of fond and not-so-fond rivalry memories to reflect back on leading up to Sunday’s epic clash.
