Juliet:
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)
Juliet was clearly not a Jets' fan. Consider the names on our roster: Plaxico Burress. Antonio Cromartie. Vladimir Ducasse. Santonio Holmes. LaDainian Tomlinson. D'Brickashaw Ferguson.
It's almost as though Alexandre Dumas and William Shakespeare were jointly invited to name a cast of characters for a joint stage production of epic proportion, featuring swashbuckling heroes of true valor.
We all know that ink was never spilled for the sake of a great epic that didn't include a few great names. We also know that no cracking adventure story ever made it into print without a strong element of peril at work. So if there be peril in our upcoming skirmish with the Redskins, I say, bring it. Our aristocrats know how to throw down the gauntlet and how to keep us on the edge of our seats until the very last.
when it comes to player names, one mustn't forget the toughest of the Jets players, Jim Leonhard
