Oh, Buddy?

On Sunday, January 12th, 1969, in the days before email, Chat and Macs, with Joe Willie Namath, the NY Jets defeated the Baltimore Colts, 16-7 in Miami's Orange Bowl. A certain unsung hero, who kicked 1 Extra Point & 3 Field Goals was the last of the non soccer kickers, Jim Turner. He was in reality, the only real offense, along with a Touchdown Run by Matt Snell. The Jets, the 1st Champions of Shea Stadium, had a great definsive coordinator by the name of Buddy Ryan.

Today, his son, Rex, has the reinns to the team, who after a 17-14 triumph over the favored SD Chargers, go onto Indianapolis to Face the Colts.

Like Father, Like Son!
