OMG OMG OMG: Today, the most important game since Super Bowl III will be played today at 4:30 p.m. at Gillette Stadium. The New York Jets are facing off against the New England Patriots for a chance to meet the Pittsbrugh Steelers in next week's AFC Championship, and, for the Jets, it's a chance for redemption after an extremely embarrassing 45-3 loss last month. There have been promises. There have been references to feet. There have been politicians jinxing things. So, to ratchet up the excitement even further, the Post and Daily News have Gang Green Fever.

The Post keeps things classy by putting a Jets manicured foot on the front page ("LICK 'EM!") while the Daily News has a "KICK SOME @SS!" headline on the back sports page. However, the Post wins points for some Rex Ryan Photoshop—REXTERMINATOR—with little Patriots rats!
