New York Jets AFC Championship Game Rally

This Sunday the New York Jets head out to face the Indianapolis Colts for the AFC Championship for the first time in over a decade and the first Super Bowl appearance in over 40 years. Leading up to the game, the Jets have had a few events for Jet fans and New Yorkers to participate in, the biggest being a Thursday night rally in the heart of New York City, or as Mayor Bloomberg dubbed it this week, Revis Island!

Some of the notable guests were Leon Washington and All-Time Jet great Curtis Martin, along with the Flight Crew, Fireman Ed, Mayor Bloomberg, and Governor Patterson. I took the subway up to Times Square and immediately I was surrounded by a sea of Green. I wondered around the rally and even ran into a few guys who are regulars at our tailgate parties. After the rally I went over to Schnippers Quality Kitchen which was in the neighborhood. Schnippers was featured on Throwdown With Bobby Flay for their sloppy joe. Obviously I had to have a sloppy joe, and I ordered up a green chili cheese dog and onion rings to give the joint a well rounded review, which gets a solid thumbs up.

Below is some video footage of the rally, along with some pics of the rally and even a few from Schnippers.
