NFL legend Kevin Greene tragically passed away at the age of 58. Even though he is better known for his career as an NFL player, the audience frequently saw Greene inside the WCW ring. Most of his appearances were at Monday Nights during the 1990s. He may not have been a part of the wrestling industry as frequently, he had still made an impact. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/E90216AE-98E1-430C-B6F1-0A573DB96E4F-scaled-1.jpeg] Greene had been involved with some great names such as the nWo and the Four Horsemen. In fact, he had teamed up with the Four Horsemen and former NFL player Steve Michael for his WCW debut. He lost the match to Ric Flair and Arn Anderson during the 1996 Great American Bash. The following year, Kevin Greene partnered with Ric Flair and Roddy Piper in a 6-man match at the 1997 WCW Slamboree. Their opponents were none other than nWo, and the former three emerged victorious. His time inside the WCW ring may not have been as vast as his career on the football field. Still, he made a name for himself within that time. Mick Foley took to Twitter to express his grievance. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/35551-16085922918925-800.jpg] WWE RELEASED A STATEMENT FOLLOWING KEVIN GREENE’S DEMISE “Upon his arrival, Greene teamed with fellow NFL player Steve McMichael and would go on to share the ring with some of the biggest names in sports-entertainment. “The Pro Football Hall of Famer teamed with Roddy Piper and Ric Flair against Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Syxx in a victory at Slamboree in May of 1997. In his last run with WCW, Greene teamed with Goldberg against nWo Black & White,” read the statement [https://www.wwe.com/article/kevin-greene-passes-away]. KEVIN GREENE HAD A TREMENDOUS NFL CAREER BEFORE AND AFTER WCW Greene had an impressive NFL career. It spanned from 1985 to 1999, and he worked with several teams during this time. In 2009, Green became the coach for the Green Bay Packers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/green-bay-packers/] and the New York Jets [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/new-york-jets/]. It was during his time as a coach that he received the Super Bowl ring when the Packers won against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Super Bowl. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016.

Introduction

The Packers' journey began over a century ago when founded by Earl "Curly" Lambeau and George Calhoun. Lambeau, a former Green Bay East High School player, and Calhoun, a newspaper editor, formed the team in 1919. Initially sponsored by the Indian Packing Company, they adopted the name "Packers," which has remained unchanged.

The team quickly gained prominence and became a founding National Football League (NFL) member in 1921. Over the years, the Packers have amassed a remarkable legacy, boasting a multitude of NFL championships and four Super Bowl titles.

Vince Lombardi, who served as the head coach from 1959 to 1967, is one of the most significant figures in the Packers' history. Under his leadership, the team achieved unparalleled success, winning the first two Super Bowls and establishing the "Lombardi Era" as a defining chapter in NFL history.

The Packers have consistently been among the NFL's top contenders in recent years. Led by star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, they have maintained their winning tradition, making regular appearances in the playoffs and remaining a force to be reckoned with.

In their history, they have made it to the playoffs a total of 14 times but failed to seal another Super Bowl spot. They appeared in the NFL playoffs 2 times in the 1960s, 4 times in the 1980s, 2 times in the 1990s, and 6 times in the 2000s; in their most successful decade ever. In the last decade, the Jets did not qualify for the playoffs for once. The Jets form the AFC East division, along with the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and the New England Patriots. Robert Saleh is the head coach of the Jets, having joined the team in 2021. They boast a 12-26-0 record during his tenure. Since his joining, the Jets have finished at the bottom of the AFC East 2/2 times. Weeb Ewbank remains the most successful coach in their history, with a 71-77-6 record and the franchise&#8217;s only Super Bowl to his name. American businessman Woody Johnson is the Jet&#8217;s current owner having bought the franchise back in 2000. He acts as the CEO and chairman of the managing board, and Hymie Elhai serves as the president. Johnson is a fourth-generation family member of the pharmaceutical giant Johnson and Johnson founders. Along with his brother Christopher, he spent $635 million to purchase the franchise. The Jets are the sixth richest NFL franchise as of 2023, with a market value of $6.1 billion. They had the second-highest game-attendee average in the NFL 2022 at 78,009, trailed only by the Dallas Cowboys.

Franchise info in a nutshell  Founded 1959  Home Venue MetLife Stadium  City New York-New Jersey  Division AFC East  Known As Gang Green  Owner Woody Johnson  Worth $6.1 billion  2023 schedule The Jets have a 3-3 record in the season after match week 6 and are currently on a bye week. Quarterback Zach Wilson has taken charge of the offense in Aaron Rodgers&#8217; absence. Or more like, under his supervision. That&#8217;s because Rodgers was seen without his support in the warm-up before the Eagles game, and even threw a few passes. His talks to the players might have been influential as the Jets handed the Philadelphia Eagles their first defeat of the season. The Jets next face the city neighbor New York Giants on October 29. Their complete schedule for the season is as follows:  Date Opponent Home/Away Result  September 11 Buffalo Bills Home 22-16/Win  September 17 Dallas Cowboys Away 30-10/Loss  September 24 New England Patriots Home 15-10/Loss  October 1 Kansas City Chiefs Home 23-20/Loss  October 8 Denver Broncos Away 31-21/Win  October 15 Philadelphia Eagles Home 20-14/Win  October 29 New York Giants Home TBD  November 6 Los Angeles Chargers Home TBD  November 12 Las Vegas Raiders Away TBD  November 19 Buffalo Bills Away TBD  November 24 Miami Dolphins Home TBD  December 3 Atlanta Falcons Home TBD  December 10 Houston Texans Home TBD  December 17 Miami Dolphins Away TBD  December 24 Washington Commanders Home TBD  December 28 Cleveland Browns Away TBD  January 7 New England Patriots Away TBD  2023 team roster Quarterback (QB) Tim Boyle Zach Wilson Aaron Rodgers (inactive) Running Back (RB) Israel Abanikanda Michael Carter Dalvin Cook Breece Hall Fullback (FB) Nick Bawdenan  Wide Receiver (WR) Jason Brownlee Randall Cobb Xavier Gipson Mecole Hardman Jr. Allen Lazard Garrett Wilson Tight End (TE) Tyler Conklin Jeremy Ruckert C.J.

They have won their only Super Bowl appearance in 1969. They are 2 times winners of the AFC East divisional championship. But the Jets have never won an AFC Conference Championship despite being to the final 4 times.

He has been the Jets&#8217; offensive commander in charge following Sam Darnold&#8217;s departure in 2021 and was the 2nd best rookie QB of the season in PFF rerankings. After Aaron Rodgers&#8217; injury in the 2023 season opener, Wilson has taken up the role of QB1. Somewhat criticized for average performances in the first 3 games, Wilson finally switched gears against the Chiefs, almost creating the upset of the season. Zach Wilson of the New York Jets (2) moves past Shaq Lawson of the Buffalo Bills (90) before making a pass on the week one game of NFL 2023-24 | Image Rights: Getty Images Garrett Wilson &#8211; Quarterback A first-round draft of the NFL 2022, Garrett Wilson signed a four-year, $20.55 million deal with the Jets. Garrett proved to be the ideal follow-up for his namesake Zach, having named the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2022. That was not a fluke as the young QB managed 83 receptions and 1103 passing yards despite coming off the bench multiple times. A physical specimen on his own, Wilson brings a dependable partnership in offense along with Zach. Sauce Gardner &#8211; Cornerback Gardner was a fourth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft by the Jets and signed an impressive four-year $38.7 million deal with the franchise. Known for his physical plays that demand respect, the young cornerback became the first rookie CB in 41 years to earn an All-Pro entry. Gardner also won the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award in 2022, completing the holy trinity of Jets rookies. He managed 51 tackles and only allowed 126 yards in his first season, contradicting his comparatively smaller stature. Practice and Match Ground Practice Ground &#8211; Florham Park The team&#8217;s clubhouse is located at Florham Park, New Jersey. The Jets have a 27-acre training and health facility in the area, which they have been using since 2008. Although on paper the Jets are based in New York, all of the club operations take place in Florham Park, NJ. The club facility is situated 36 miles West of New York City. Match Ground &#8211; MetLife Stadium They play their home games at MetLife Stadium, located in East Rutherford, New Jersey, some 40 minutes drive from Florham Park. The Jets share the stadium with fellow NFL franchise New York Giants. The stadium is the biggest in the NFL with a seating capacity of 82,500 and cost $1.6 billion to build. The construction work started in the September of 2007 and took 2.5 years to complete. MetLife opened to the public on April 10, 2010. Mascot The Jets are one of only four teams who do not have an official Mascot. However, there was one time when the netizens demanded the franchise announce a 1970s club legend Joe Namath doll as their official Mascot, rather jokingly.

Why are the New York Jets called &#8216;Jets&#8217;? When the team was sold in 1963, businessman Sonny Werblin named the team &#8216;Jets&#8217;. Jets used to play games next to LaGuardia Airport, which regularly saw heavy jet aircraft traffic, hence originating their name. Another reason was that the team played their home games in Shea Stadium, which was the existing home ground for the MLB side New York Mets. 2. Who is the biggest fan of the Jets? Edwin M. Anzalone, also known as the Fireman Ed, is the most hardcore Jets fan out there. He has been a regular attendee of the team&#8217;s games, fuelling their spirit with the iconic J-E-T-S chant since 1986. He has been to every stadium for 27 years where the Jets&#8217; have played their home games, including the Shea Stadium, former Giants Stadium, and their current MetLife Stadium. 3. Who is the Greatest Jets player of all time? Wide Receiver Don Maynard is often regarded as the greatest Jets player of all time. Although quarterback Joe Namath won the Super Bowl III MVP on that historic night in 1969, Maynard&#8217;s career achievements and impeccable records earn him the title of the greatest player to ever play for the Jets. Most of the long-time fans of the franchise come to that conclusion. 3 interesting facts about the New York Jets The New York Jets are one of two teams that have won their lone Super Bowl appearance. This means, they never returned to the Super Bowl Jets hold the record for the longest championship drought in the AFC East Division, having last won the title 21 years ago, in 2002. The Jets jersey no. 12, worn by the legendary quarterback Joe Namath was retired in 1985. But after Aaron Rodgers joined the team in 2022, Namath said he would allow Rodgers to wear the retired number. Rodgers, one of the NFL&#8217;s greatest quarterbacks, won the Super Bowl XLV with Green Bay Packers in his iconic no. 12 jersey.
