To Jets, as in "Joe almost won the race but then he pulled a Jets"
To lose suddenly and
inexplicably
To have hope and then
throw it away
The Jets are an NFL team which has gained notoriety for throwing away first round draft picks. They are capable of remarkable saves when behind at the half, but more often manage to
drop the ball, literally.
Hey the Jets are up 41-7 at the two minute warning... no wait, now they're down by 6 points. I think my liver just quit on me.
Announcer: "They might GO ALL THE WAY, no wait, the Jets fumble at the 2 yard line, recovered by Dallas, Dallas touchdown, and i think the Jets just lost their third string QB to another injury. This is an ugly ugly day here at the meadowlands."
person 1: The Jets might actually
make the playoffs this year
person 2: Yeah, unless they pull a Jets
Person 1: Did you hear about Dave
Person 2: Yeah, he had a
heart attack last week during the Jets game
Person 1: Yeah, is it even possible to throw 3
interceptions in two plays?
Person 1: Hey, who did the Jets select with their first round draft pick?
Person 2: A one legged kicker
Person 1: Wow, way to pull a Jets
