Every comedian has their rite of passage moment, a tick where one truly earns the mic. Some, like a first heckler, are devastating yet indispensable. Others, such as the first drink from a veteran humorist, are downright euphoric.
The football comedian’s stand-up career … a profession most often paid purely in laughter and Twitter likes … doesn’t officially begin until they make a joke about the New York Jets. Gang Green is to football follies what noted metropolitan sports fan Adam Sandler is to movie studios: they’ll wrangle as many laughs as they can out of them, and even when the laughs aren’t there, they’ll try to make it happen anyway.
