I don't know if this is a normal thing for New York City, but the similarities between this year's Jets and the Mets of the last four years are eerie.
Taste a whiff of success (albeit in the Jets' case completely accidental)
Instead of quietly go about your business the next year hoping to slip back in, have some assholes start braying that the way to a championship is now through them.
Thousands of team's fans take utter umbrage at the thought that their team has to even play the regular season.
Rest of the league notices, and licks their chops to kick their asses thanks to the targets they have placed on themselves (have you ever seen a team that was so thrilled to knock a team out of the playoffs like the Marlins a few years back? There was less celebration after Kirk Gibson's walk-off in 1988)
Years later, it's quietly pointed out that the team never did in fact actually win anything.
Bizarre.
UPDATE: the Jets appear to have caught the attention of one Ray Lewis. Very brilliant on their part, of course. Sleep well, Mark Sanchez. Christ, I just pissed myself.
