#6

I was like a kid today at about 3:30 when the doorbell rang. I raced across the house knocking dogs, people, furniture out of my way.... "It's for meeeee!!!!" I screamed as I slid on my socks so I could round the corner more quickly.

See, I had been tracking a certain UPS package that I knew was out for delivery.

Finally, it was here... my very own... Mark Sanchez jersey (#6 Jets QB).

I have been watching Noah walk around for weeks in all of his jerseys... heartbroken that he hates the Jets and doesn't want to have anything to do with Mr. Sanchez. Do I really have a child that is a Brady fan?

So after unsuccessfully hinting for one at Christmas, and going to two different malls only to find they were sold out, I broke down and ordered my jersey online. It is beautiful. I think I love it.

So now I'm obsessing about when to wear it. I have to wear it on Saturday when the Jets are playing, but can I get away with wearing it tomorrow as well? I'm mentally running through all of the people I will see and whether they overlap. And not only when to wear, but how? My jersey is a youth large so it's a little baggy, but more fitted than an adult size I've tried on a couple of different jean/shoe combos with it and definitely think that skinny jeans/new furry top NorthFace boots are the way to go.

But this is way more than a fashion statement. This fall, the guys were watching the HBO series Hard Knocks which this past season centered around the Jets training camp. I was immediately hooked. It's a great show... Crushed when they released Danny Woodhead (later picked up by the Pats) and loving all the Sanchez scenes...

An off-again-on-again Jets fan over the years (think way back, like Wayne Chrebet back), I'm hooked again. Maybe it's that green is my favorite color, or the few years I spent living in NYC, but I love them... J-E-T-S, Jets! Jets! Jets!
