09/27 — For all the fans and No. 80 wearers who have contacted me and others here in the Jets organization, today is your lucky day. Our Wayne Chrebet Day video is now live on newyorkjets.com.

The eight-minutes-plus video was excellently prepared by John Seiter, our senior director of multimedia production, who wanted no credit so I won't give him any. It combines the interview Wayne did with JetsTV's Karen Keyes before his halftime ceremony at Sunday's Jets-Dolphins game, the recorded tributes from Ray Lucas, Greg Buttle, Laveranues Coles and Chad Pennington, the video highlight montage prepared for the day's festivities (complete with Howard David's radio calls, which I always enjoyed), and excerpts from Chrebet's emotional halftime remarks to the fans.

Some of you no doubt wondered why (others of you know why) Coles in his tribute refers to Chrebet by letter, as in "Thanks for all the memories, Q." No, it doesn't refer to name of James Bond's gadget man, or to Chrebet's Q-factor, which still remains very high in this neck of the woods.

When Chrebet broke in with the Jets as that now legendary undrafted free agent from Hofstra in 1995, people mangled his name in many creative ways (and still do to this day). Sherbet, Shabot, Shar-pei, Tribbit — it was alternately hilarious and painful to hear people try to wrestle kra-BET to the ground.

And then there was Q*bert, the popular character of the Eighties arcade game that still had some legs into the mid-Nineties. Chrebet became known as Q*bert to his teammates and then, of course, simply "Q." Quite a story for quite a ballplayer whose career I was privileged to have observed from start to finish as a Jets beatwriter.

You can find the Chrebet video in our multimedia section or currently from our home page, and then clicking on the arrow beneath the picture of Wayne with his outstretched arms to start the tribute.

You can also find photos of Wayne in the Week 3 Jets vs Dolphins gameday photo gallery.

Enjoy.
