If you're a Jets fan, then you already know that there's no substance in the world that can make last night's miserable loss to the Denver Broncos fade into the recesses of the mind fast enough. When Mark Sanchez is the worst quarterback on the field—not Tim Tebow, the worst statistical quarterback in the league—something is seriously messed up. And now this six-year-old understands the pain of fandom. His mother describes the video: "My 6 year old son, after being told this morning that the Jets lost to the Broncos 17-13. He was devastated (and none too happy when he realized I was filming him). Poor kid. Jets upset my son." Maybe the Bills will lose every game. Our only question: do you think he tailgates out of his Tonka?
