“A friend tells a story about taking his ten-year-old son to a Jets game. The game was being played during a driving rain on a freezing cold day, and the Jets lost by twenty points to a team they were supposed to beat. As they headed toward the exits, the boy looked up, with tears in his eyes, and asked, 'Dad, why are we Jets fans?”

I hope you at least kept playing the simulator until you got a win. ;-D I watched the 2nd half of that game yesterday and the Jets had their chances but just imploded anytime the momentum swung in their direction.

Took about 10 times on the simulator, but finally came up with a Jets win.

Eight turnovers (only the Patriots could turn over the ball eight times and still win). Kinda glad I didn't get to see the game. :(
