The overused “Vinnie and the Jets” catchphrase just got a new twist. The play on Elton John’s song Bennie and the Jets found a new suitor and ESPN has the inside track.
ESPN's John Clayton writes this Marty and the Jets? A.J. won't say blog entry where he questions A.J Smith on the Jets considering Marty Schottenheimer for the soon-to-be vacant Jets head coaching job.
It has been rumored the past few days Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson is looking into ways to hire Herman Edwards to be coach in Kansas City.

Edwards was a former assistant to Schottenheimer during the Chiefs glory years.

"It isn’t the first time that Marty nostalgia has popped up either. Peterson misses the Marty Schottenheimer 1990s, when the Chiefs always won 10 or more games and always made the playoffs. True, to many Chiefs fans, that was the age of frustration, years most remembered for heartbreaking playoff losses and grinding 17-14 punt-fests. But to Peterson, those years were heaven."
Could the Chiefs be missing the Martyball?
