On Oct. 5, 1986, ref Ben Dreith made his famous "giving him the business" call during a Jets-Bills game when Jets DT Marty Lyons repeatedly punched Bills QB Jim Kelly in a scrum. It resulted in a bench-clearing brawl that lasted several minutes. #tbt

Marty Lyons (1983)

You know what I miss? Nicknames for collections of players as opposed to singular star athletes. The Bermuda Triangle, Purple People Eaters, Hogs, Steel Curtain, Kardiac Kids, Greatest Show on Turf, The Electric Company and Air Coryel. I wish this trend would come back. There have been a few nicknames kicking around the past couple years like Jet Blue and Earth, Wind, and Fire but nothing that really stuck.

One of my favorite such nicknames is the New York Sack Exchange. It just works. Money is green — the Jets' jerseys are green. See, it just works. The New York Sack Exchange was the nickname given to the Jets' defensive line in the 1980's. Mark Gastineau, Joe Klecko, Marty Lyons and Abdul Salaam formed like Voltron to terrorize opposing quarterbacks. Their given names were fantastic in their own right but how can you not love the New York Sack Exchange?

"It wasn't a question of whether we'd get to the quarterback, it was how many times" — Marty Lyons
