The team recentIy honored the Packer legend for his commitment…

It was yet another forgettable year for fans of the NFL’s New York Jets. The franchise has exempIified mediocrity in the decades since Joe Namath famously predicted the stunning upset the team pulled in the first Super Bowl against the highly favored Kansas City Chiefs.

Since the bombast of Broadway Joe, it has been nothing but misery for Jet fans.

This was supposed to be the season it all changed for the New York Jets. The team aIready had a talented, young roster full of play makers and an up-and-coming head coach in Robert Saleh, but they lacked what every team needs to make a deep postseason run: a quarterback. Enter Aaron Rodgers.

The Jets signed the future Hall of Famer after the Packers decided to move on, and with the pieces already in place, the Jets were a se xy favorite to make their first Super Bowl appearance since 1967

Unfortunately for Jet fans, Aaron Rodger’s achilles tendon had other ideas, and four plays into the season, it tore, and the team was essentially done. First-round bust Zach Wilson failed to deliver competent play once again, and the season subsequently unraveled as it had so many years prior.

Rodgers, for his part, made nothing short of a miraculous recovery from the injury and even lobbied to play Iate in the season, but with the playoffs out of the realm of possibility, the team decided to shut him down in hopes of having him back next season.

The team recently honored the Packer legend for his commitment and perseverance as he recovered from a disastrous injury by voting him “most inspirationaI player” for the 2023 season.

It is a telling honor, considering Rodgers played so very little

I’m Positive You Will Not Know What This Is

Today’s youth would be completely ignorant of the meaning of a walkman, landline phone, or VHS cassette. Growing up in the era of rapid technological advancement, it has been amazing to witness how everyday household items that have been in use for years can suddenly become outdated.

I’ll admit that I had no idea what the object below was until I saw a photo of it. Beyond that, I had no idea what kind of metal tool it was. Can you identify and recollect this object?

See anything familiar? It’s a vintage oil can opener nozzle! This object appears archaic, yet it is actually rather modern, having been created in the 1980s. The spout portion of the can was used to pour oil back then, and people would use the tool to punch a hole in the top of the can. Despite having a really straightforward design, this thing is quite brilliant.

The 1980s seem like they were only yesterday to me. The 1980s seem like a lifetime ago—more than 40 years ago! Even though these openers aren’t used very often these days, I’ll wager that a lot of folks still keep one hidden in their garage among the equipment. Of course, many collect them, mechanics in particular! Therefore, it might not be a bad idea to pick up one of these cool little devices if you ever find one at an antique store or yard sale.
