Miracles


Can a miracle happen with this year's Jets team?

Remember Willis Reed running out the locker room to win lead the Knicks to Victory.
Remember Michael Jordan with 103 temperature and the flu to lead the Bulls to Victory.
Remember Keanu Reeves leading his team to victory in "The Replacements".
Remember Mark Messier (even though I try NOT to) to guarantee a victory over the Devils in the Cup Finals.
Remember the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team defying all odds to win the Gold Medal.
Remember Rudy getting into the game and recording a sack.
Remember Rocky Balboa going the distance vs. Apollo Creed.
Remember a geeky Ross final getting Rachel in the end.
Remember Danny Noonan skinkg at putt on the 18th green to win the tournament.
Remember Kirk Gibson hobbling to the plate to hit a home run to win a World Series game for the Dodgers.
Remember when Shakespeare In Love upset Saving Private Ryan at the Oscars.
Remember Buster Douglass knocking out Mike Tyson.
Remember Dan Janson falling a zillion times in speed skating and then finally coming back to win a Gold medal years later.
Remember Daniel Larusso beating Johnny of the Kobra Ki with a crane kick.
Remember when the Bad New Bears lost in the first movie but then came back to win in the 2nd movie.Remember the NCAA Basketball upsets of NC State & Villanova.
Remember the 2004 Red Sox knocking off the dreaded Yankees just last year in Game 7.
Remember the 69' Miracle Mets shocking the world.
Remember Hoosiers.
Remember the Titans.
Remember the Alamo,
Remember Joe Namath with the original guarantee they'd win Super Bowl III and did.

All of these things seemed IMPOSSIBLE. Close your eyes and clear your head. Open your eyes.
Now...Imagine Vinny Testervede at 42 years old, coming back to the Jets, to lead this team to the Super Bowl that they just missed out on in 1998. Seems impossible right. But, Miracles do happen.
