This week’s classic is a bit of a personal treat to myself.  Here the Jets pay tribute to one of my favorite players of all time, and one of the greatest players ever to pull on the fabled green jersey - Joe Klecko.  This video was made to honor Klecko when the Jets retired his number #73 jersey in 2004.  Klecko was one of the most fearsome defensive linemen ever to play the game, not surprising as he was an NCAA heavyweight boxing champion, and was a member of the infamous “New York Sack Exchange”* line of the early 1980s.  Hope you enjoy this video, and just be thankful that the current quarterback of your favorite team doesn’t have to worry about Joseph Edward Klecko.
