Connor McGovern’s challenge to New York Jets fans helped flip the script

There’s no crying in football.

It can easily be pictured: a Tom Hanks-cast film about the heartbreaking 2020 New York Jets season that led to missing out on three-time Super Bowl champion Trevor Lawrence. You know him, the Jacksonville Jaguars star quarterback whose face cannot be avoided in pop culture.

Hanks, after unapologetically scratching himself on the sideline, and looking up at Lawrence performing magic for the Jags on the MetLife Stadium video board, berates one of his players with one key line in tow: “There’s no crying in football.”

Sure, the movie would have to be released several years from now, well after the Jags cement their dynasty.
