“#Joe Benigno’s WFAN retirement another loss for the Jets<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

If the Jets lose Monday night to the Patriots, Tuesday afternoon will have a strange feel \u2026 and sound. For 25 years, the soundtrack to the day after Jets losses has been Joe Benigno screaming about the team and what the latest coach and quarterback did wrong.<\/p>\n

Benigno has been the voice of Jets fans whether it was overnight, at 10 a.m. or, recently, at 2 p.m. on WFAN. Friday is Benigno\u2019s last show with partner Evan Roberts before he retires and heads to the golf course. Radio hosts slamming the Jets is not a rarity. The team provides plenty of fodder to talk-show hosts. But Benigno was different. He was the Jets fan you knew at work. The one who is always waiting for the other shoe to drop. The one convinced they hired the wrong coach, drafted the wrong player or called the wrong play (and he was often right).<\/p>\n

While Benigno\u2019s reactions to the bad losses and general<\/a> Jets\u2019 dysfunction will be what is most remembered, Benigno can also be wildly optimistic sometimes. That is what makes him the perfect representative for Jets fans. As many times as the team beats you down, you keep coming back and believing. After a few good wins, Benigno would get sucked in and then have his hopes dashed again by the team that he loves to remind everyone last won the Super Bowl when he was 15 years old.<\/p>\n
