Sacramento Kings’ playoff clinch gives NY Jets dubious record

Anyone questioning why the New York Jets continue to play the Aaron Rodgers waiting game received a not-so-subtle reply to their inquiries on Wednesday night.

Wednesday was a day long awaited in the realm of the NBA’s Sacramento Kings, who earned a playoff berth for the first time in 16 seasons with a 120-80 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Thus ends the longest active playoff drought among the so-called “big four” professional North American sports leagues, almost five months to the day they inherited it from MLB’s Seattle Mariners (20).

Of course, a new squad among the quartet must stand at the bottom and the Jets are that cursed organization.
