    Both calls were the correct call. The margin of error between winning and losing in the NFL is thin. Good teams catch the ball and don't commit overaggressive penalties. The Jets aren't a good team because they do those things, as well as many other little things, that good teams don't allow themselves to do.

    The NFL is rigged.
    Al these rule changes and reviews are bullshit. Lingerie football is more physical, atleast you can hit the QB.
    The rule of TD's, catching, possession, have been put in place to let reviews determine outcomes in games. They were initially put in place to stop bad calls and rigged games. Now the power of an official is spread to not only zebras but assholes in suits not even at the game. It's becoming a joke, all for the sake of $$$!

    "God" is doing the Jets a favor. They need a QB, the Jets could easily be .500 right now. Thank goodness they aren't. That's almost the worst place to be in the draft.

    So cool! I love it!

    My first car was a 1962 Citroen ID19

    I was looking for a car to commute to college and saw this on the lot. My father said it was a fantastic car and persuaded me to buy it for $600 in 1965. It was definitely a car way ahead of it's time. It had FWD, adjustable oil/air suspension, collapsible steering wheel, pop out windshield. It even had a crank so you could start the car manually if the battery died. It wasn't a Ferrari but it did turn heads wherever I went. Typical of French autos, however, it was not the most reliable car. In fact, I didn't need to garage it because it was always at the mechanics. My own mechanic, told me not to bring it to him because he didn't want to spend the time trying to figure out how it was put together. The only place to get it fixed was the Citroen repair facility located on 3rd Ave. in Brooklyn. At the time, I was living on Staten Island and put more miles on it commuting to the repair shop (over the newly built Verazzano Bridge) than to college. All the mechanics at the shop were imported from France. If you came around lunch time, everyone was having wine, cheese and baguettes. And the repair bills, oh those bills!!!! I was afraid if I sold the car, the French economy would collapse. How I miss that car!

    Nice. Did you have the famous jump seats?

    My first was a 1963 Falcon station wagon. Also got it in '75. Lost my innocence in that car.

    My first car was a 1961 Pontiac, I think a Catalina (4-door). It was a hand-me down from my parents via my sister. It was pretty fast and was like a tank. I drove it in high school

    It had a lot of miles on it, and was getting to be unreliable. My next car was a 1966 Plymouth Fury. It had been a company car where my father worked, and I got it for a good price, but little did we know that the transmission was shot.

    I then bought a 1971 Monte Carlo with leather seats that was in pristine condition. It had a 400 cubic inch engine, 2 barrell, 454 HP (I think). I loved it, but it was a gas hog, and during the early-to-mid 70's that wasn't good.

    Thanks. A few years back, I came across a nostalgic piece about the car in an on-line auto blog. (I love cars.) It was obvious to me the guy who wrote it never owned one, so I wrote a response similar to what I posted here and the guy published it.

    Such a cool car. My Mum's lesbian cousin had one. I loved the way it rose in the air when she started it, on that air suspension.

    The air suspension had adjustable settings from high to low and three or so in between. If you had a flat tire there was no jack. You raise the car to max height, position an adjustable stand under the chassis next to the bad wheel, then set to max low position. The wheel rose off the ground and you could change the tire. One of many innovations.

    Where would you get such adjustable stand? Besides, isn't that what a jack is? ;) LOL
