Good morning, Gang Green Gangsters! Thank you all for voting as Ivory is once again Ground Player of the Week. Here are your daily New York Jets links for this Aloha Friday...

Kristian Dyer: The New England Patriots sent a buttfumble tweet. And then later deleted it. Weak sauce, as the kids would say.

Kimberley A. Martin: Despite his long-standing allegiance to the New York Yankees, HC Todd Bowles is fully supporting the New York Mets in the World Series.

Kristian Dyer: CBs Buster Skrine and Marcus Williams could be ready for their returns.

Rich Cimini: DE Sheldon Richardson says his comments on the Patriots game were taken out of context. Joe Namath's guarantee was a guarantee because he said, "I guarantee it". It's not really a guarantee if you say if.

Do you have any nickname ideas for the Jets defense?

Here are your missed connections from yesterday.

Here is the thread about nothing, where you can talk about random stuff, like Daniel Murphy's nickname.

Time for some Weird Al:

And the Beatles:

Remember when we used to get free sampler CDs? There was this one alternative song that had lyrics like, "It's your birthday wish" but I can't remember the name or the artist. But it's stuck in my head, and I can't seem to find it online. Any help would be appreciated.

Have a great weekend!
