At the well-attended pep rally for the Jets in Times Square yesterday, Mayor Bloomberg announced that Manhattan Island would be (unofficially) re-named "Revis Island" as long as the Jets were still in the playoffs. It's named after the All-Pro cornerback who has stifled and overwhelmed the league's top wide receivers this year (including twitter-enemy Ochocinco), and who the Mayor called "the NFL defensive player of the year, as far as I'm concerned." (You can see the sign hanging in Times Square above, along with some other creative "Revis Island" designs.)
Jets fever is really bursting the mercury this week: first there were those 7000 calorie meals, then a kid was actually named J.E.T.S., then we all believed in Mark Sanchez's beard, Stuffed cannolis on Stanton Street started selling green Jets themed cannolis (pistachio with extra green sprinkles), and now this. It's Revis Island now, we just rent space in it.
