Like many New York Jets fans, Ray Romano is eager for the upcoming NFL season, hoping to witness his team's first Super Bowl victory since 1968. With promising rookies like Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner, a strengthened defense, and the monumental acquisition of Aaron Rodgers, there's a buzz of excitement surrounding the team.

Despite this renewed hope, Romano, a devoted New York Yankees fan as well, expresses cautious optimism. He acknowledges the Jets' potential but also remembers past disappointments. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, he confessed to a pattern of rising hopes followed by letdown, a sentiment echoed by his sons, who are diehard Jets fans.

While the team's progress over the past three seasons, culminating in the addition of Rodgers, is encouraging, Romano remains wary of over-excitement. He draws a parallel to his experience directing a movie, where he cautioned against excessive hype to avoid potential disappointment. Acknowledging the Jets' challenging early schedule, he prefers measured enthusiasm.

Beyond football, Romano is gearing up for the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament near Lake Tahoe, an event he's participated in for two decades. He enjoys the camaraderie, the large crowds, and the opportunity for his children to meet renowned athletes. This year, the excitement is amplified by the chance to connect with the Jets' new quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.
