” Chuck Ramsey was abducted by scientologists and sacrificed into a volcano. John Prokop disappeared backstage during a Kajagoogoo concert and was never seen again. Dan Stryzinski blew out both ACLs while signing his last name on the chest of a Hooters waitress in Tallahassee…”

That’s hilarious stuff right there! Very creative…and quite possibly, all true! :-)

Thanks!

Nice list.

However, on Namath’s post-NFL life, you left out being forever remembered as wanting to drunkenly lay one on Suzy Kolber on Monday Night Football.

I don’t care what anyone else says. I saw that happen live, and it was glorious.

Bent, you have some great theories. All i can say is that number 2 had better be true.

Thanks for the afternoon reading, guys. Great stuff all around.

I can’t believe I just read more than 20 Jets-related conspiracies and none of them involved the movie Heidi.

Actually Harlan, there was no rule about the tarp being placed over the field when it rained during the week. That rule went into to place because of that game.

No need to foolishly make up conspiracies.

The obvious conspiracy was the Mud Bowl when the NFL sanctioned the theft of the AFC Championship Game by the Miami Dolphins who having no answer to Freeman McNeil, flooded the field.

This was against NFL rules. The Commissioner could have postponed the game, relocated it to the Jets stadium, or called a forfeit. Had this happened to the Giants at the time or the Cowbows in the 90s, it would never have been permitted.

Here’s some more Jets-related conspiracy theories:

1. The Jets haven’t extended Leon’s contract because they think Danny Woodhead will make him expendable.
2. Vernon Gholston tanked last season deliberately because he wants to win a comeback player of the year award.
3. Leon’s latest revelation was a coded message to Mangini about “taking the Browns to the Superbowl”.
4. Mark Gastineau’s retirement had nothing to do with wanting to spend more time with Brigitte Neilsen, but was in fact because he feared he was going to be banned for steroid abuse (hey, a real one!)
5. The Jets draft badly deliberately because some fans at Gate D once told Woody they like seeing busts.
6. The Jets losing in the 1991 wildcard game against Warren Moon never happened and was actually faked by NASA.
7. Leon Washington’s baby son, Noel, recently fell over in the garden and got covered in grass. The US government have denied the existence of the “grassy Noel”.
8. Is Chad Pennington really a woman?
9. Mike Tannenbaum has actually managed to convince Woody Johnson that the salary cap is melting due to climate change.
10. Nope, can’t come up with a tenth. You win this round, R.
