I know that we are all upset by the back to back losses by the Jets.  But Go Jets Ho! followers know how to NOT throw in the towel.

Speaking of towels, look at this gem that I discovered in the 2011 Official Casebook of the National Football League,

"A.R. 5.28    ILLEGAL UNIFORM
Third-and-6 on A21. A1 passes to the tight end who runs out of bounds at the A45. At the completion of the play, it is noticed that A2 has a towel that is approximately 20 inches long attached to the back of his belt. Written on the towel is “Superstar.” Ruling: A’s ball, first-and-10 on A45. A2 must be suspended for at least one down and the towel removed. He can remain in the game by taking a charged timeout if the equipment is repaired."

You've got to love a sport that thinks of every possible contingency, and how to properly adjudicate fashion violations. Now if only we could suspend women for wearing Ugg Boots on the subway, for at least one stop and the footwear removed.  She can return to the subway by charging a pair of respectable driving mocs on her AmEx after the boots are incinerated.
