Wow, when I saw this poster of NY Jets linebacker Mark Gastineau from the 1980′s, I did TWO THINGS:
Laughed my ASS off
THREW UP in my mouth
There is NO disputing that Gastineau was a great pass rusher, but he was the GEICO caveman before the GEICO caveman.
Patriots quarterbacks of the era, Steve Grogan and Tony Eason may have feared Gastineau on the gridiron but laughed so hard that their sides burst after seeing this Jet cover in Crisco.
The NYJ was even a J-O-K-E back in the day.

The New York Jets, as expected, claimed receiver Braylon Edwards off waivers after he was officially released by the Seattle Seahawks. The extremely thin at receiver Jets look to be extremely thick-skinned as well, willing to bring back a known problem player who just called the Jets brass "idiots' only a week ago.
