Another book I am reading is "No Substitute for Sundays: Brett Favre and his year in the huddle with the New York Jets." The author, Steve Serby, is a diehard Jets fan. His opening chapter is all about how he watched Joe Namath as a kid and how his love for the Jets grows. He then goes on to discuss how he went to various big Jets games and watched countless coaching changes (some that he agreed with, some that he hated) happen.
I am just getting to the point where he starts to talk about the high hopes he has in the upcoming season with Brett Favre. He is very optimistic and hopes he can be the one to return the Jets to their much needed glory that only Namath had brought them to. He could have been optimistic about anybody seeing how the Jets quarterbacks of the last decade had all played mediocre seasons and never got their teams very far. Also, he thought that Favre could handle the pressure of playing under the name of New York (seeing how the Jets technically play in East Rutherford New Jersey) unlike the other quarterbacks who had control of the team.
