Raiders-Jets Rivalry Has a Long History

The hilarity of the episode can’t be understated.  It was a playoff game in January 1983.  The New York Jets were on the road playing the Los Angeles Raiders.  A phone call came through to the Jets locker room at halftime.

Jets head coach Walt Michaels was handed the phone.  The voice on the other end claimed to be Jets owner Leon Hess.  What followed was a tirade, making Michaels feel the heat for his Jets underperforming.
