Tales from the New York Jets Sideline: A Collection of the Greatest Jets Stories Ever Told

The New York Jets have not basked in an abundance of pride and glory. In Tales from the Jets Sideline, author Mark Cannizzaro takes readers on a journey, through his eyes and the eyes of the subjects he has covered, across the maze of musings, controversial happenstances, and occasional brilliance the Jets have displayed during the years he has followed the franchise. The Jets saw some light after the colossal failed experiment that was Kotite, and that light was Bill Parcells and his incredible band of assistant coaches who came within 30 minutes in Denver of bringing the Jets back to where Namath had brought them some 30 years earlier. The Parcells era, however, proved to be as much of a tease as anything in Jets history. Enter Herman Edwards, the energetic fireball of a head coach who is currently trying to make Jets fans forget about all of the previous angst and tantalizing teases they have endured since Joe Willie’s memorable triumph.
