For the first time since Super Bowl III, long-suffering, still-suffering Jets fans will be asking the cruel football gods for help Sunday.
They are confident that their team, which currently own Tankathon’s fourth overall pick, will do its part in its latest desperate pursuit of a franchise quarterback with undrafted free agent novice quarterback Brady Cook giving them the best chance to lose, facing a Patriots team hellbent on winning the division and the AFC’s No. 1 seed.
For the long-suffering, still-suffering Jets fan, the drama begins in earnest at 4:05 p.m., when the 2-13 Giants challenge the 2-13 Raiders with all eyes on the prize that would be the first pick of the draft.
For the long-suffering, still-suffering Jets fan, the Fernando Mendoza dream all but dies if the Raiders, as desperate as the Jets are for a franchise quarterback, lose to the Giants and wind up with the first pick.
