From Joe Namath’s Super Bowl guarantee in 1969 to Mark Gastineau’s legendary “Sack Dances” in the 1980s to coach Rex Ryan’s own Super Bowl prediction in 2010, the New York Jets have been grabbing headlines and thrilling fans for more than five decades. In New York Jets: The Complete Illustrated History, author Mark Cannizzaro explores these and countless other memorable moments, characters, and behind-the-scenes exploits of “Gang Green.” From the team’s origins as the New York Titans of the AFL in 1960, the Jets have followed a rollercoaster ride from postseason heroes to bottom dwellers, but through it all the fans have come out to support such legendary players as Don Maynard, Namath, Wesley Walker, Joe Klecko, Marty Lyons, Mickey Shuler, Curtis Martin, and stars of today Mark Sanchez and Darrelle Revis, among others. Complete with hundreds of photos and detailed stats, this book is a glorious celebration of the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!
