Josh Allen coldly smiled watching the Jets’ Gangsta’s Paradise introduction
The New York Jets really thought they were doing something cool when they entered the field blasting “Gangsta’s Paradise” on a boom box.
But they seemed to forget two important details about a decision like that one. The first is that they are the Jets, who have barely resembled a real football team this season.
The second element is that they were playing against Buffalo Bills, led by MVP frontrunner Josh Allen, who has a tendency to embarrass his opponents. So while the boom box entrance to the late Coolio may have looked cool in their head, it looks a lot sillier if they get blown out.

Of course, because Allen is Allen and the Jets are the Jets, that is exactly what happened.
Buffalo won, 40-14, and Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was called for one of the funniest penalties of the season. This game made it even more clear than ever before that the Jets simply cannot allow Rodgers to return.
It was an unmitigated disaster that has somehow led to former Jets head coach Rex Ryan somehow gaining traction as an actual coaching candidate for the organization.

But let us return to the boom box moment for a second, because that was perhaps the most humiliating moment of the game for them. While they were the ones who were trying the hardest to look the coolest, it was actually Allen who looked the best in the bunch.
Take a look in the background of the photo and you will see the Buffalo star casually watching the Jets make a fool of themselves before the shellacking.
He even had a slight smile on his face, which was ridiculously cold.
Allen knew what was about to happen and got to watch it all unfold.
