Based in the New York metropolitan area -- the Jets are a professional football team which was established in 1960, he started out as part of the American football league Eastern division, a venture which lasted about nine years (1969), from 1970 until today they have played under the American football conference East division where they have had a great deal of accomplishments and successes. Their home stadiums are and have been: the Polo Grounds, Shea Stadium and the Giants Stadium which is also know as the Meadowlands.
Championships and Important Moments:
The New York Jets have been a very successful professional football franchise which ones were generally known as the New York Titans, the team is also known by the general nickname "Gang Green" -- even though the team doesn't have a conference championship they are able to compensate for it with four division championships, they were AFL division champions in two consecutive years 1968 and 1969, they were also AFC East division champions in 1998 and 2002. To complement their great record they can also say that they were the AFL- NFL Super Bowl champions of the 1968 season when they went up against the Baltimore Colts and ultimately defeated them by a score of 16 to seven at the Miami Orange bowl in Miami, Florida.
Quarterbacks in the current Roster:

New York Jets Recent News:
June of 2008 was a significant month for the New York Jets franchise as Jay Cross, the current president of the team resigned his charge in order to accept a position as president of related Hudson yards. The Jets named Mike Tannenbaum as Executive Vice President General manager, Matt Higgins as the executive VP of business operations and Tadd Sheely as the executive VP of stadium development and finance. As you can imagine this changes don't really affect the players but the way the team is organized and marketed but it has always been a given that a change in management tends to alter certain aspects of any franchise, let's hope that this changes work for the greater good of the team.
The 2008 season is expected to be quite excellent for the Jets which is why their tickets will not be available for very long once they hit the market.
The New York Jets were 4-12 last season. Their four wins came against the Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Bucs, Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills. I wouldn't say that any one of their four wins were impressive performances. Could this season be any better for the disappointing New York Jets? What hope do Jets fans have? The Jets seem to be a team of players that just can't get the job done. Now, they have a new coach. Will anything change for the better or will this be another year they struggle, but this time under a "new" system?
Despite losing 12 games, the Jets didn't lose many players. In the offseason, they lose Kevin Mawae to Tennessee, Jason Fabini to Dallas, John Abraham to Atlanta (via a trade) and Oliver Celestin to Seattle. You would think that a team that only won 4 games would shed some more weight. Sure, some other players left, but those where the more mentionable players.
To try and improve, the Jets went out and picked up some new players. Will these guys contribute enough to get the Jets winning again? The Jets picked up Anthony Clement, Brad Kassell, Andre Dyson, Tim Dwight, Trey Teague, Matt Chatham, Tim Dwight, Kimo von Oelhoffen and Patrick Ramsey. Adding Ramsey will help when and if Chad Pennington gets hurt again, which seems to be very likely.
It's very hard seeing this Jets team win more than 4-6 games. The schedule is fairly competitive and the Jets just aren't that solid. They really don't get any breaks. Any game that is viewed as potentially soft is followed up by one that's probably not winnable for this team. Here's the breakdown of the 2006 season.
Week 1: @ Tennessee Titans Week 2: New England Patriots Week 3: @ Buffalo Bills Week 4: Indianapolis Colts Week 5: @ Jacksonville Jaguars Week 6: Miami Dolphins Week 7: Detroit Lions Week 8: @ Cleveland Browns Week 9: Bye Week 10: @ New England Week 11: Chicago Bears Week 12: Houston Texans Week 13: @ Green Bay Packers Week 14: Buffalo Bills Week 15: @ Minnesota Vikings Week 16: @ Miami Dolphins Week 17: Oakland Raiders
It's conceivable that this Jets team will be 0-6 or 1-6 going into week 7 against the Lions. They will most likely lose in weeks 2,4,5 and 6 for sure. Week 1 against in Tennessee is no gimme and neither is week 3 in Buffalo. It might be too much for the Jets to win both on the road with all the other tough games surrounding these dates.
