LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT NOW…
I’M A JETS FAN!
So I already know what some of you are thinking:
“ERROL, HERE YOU GO AGAIN!”
YES!
HERE I GO AGAIN!
Because apparently being a Jets fan isn’t a football experience anymore.
IT’S A MENTAL HEALTH SUBSCRIPTION!
Every August, I become the most optimistic man in America.
I look at the roster and say:
“WE’RE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR!”
Then somebody reminds me we won three games last year.
I say:
“THAT WAS LAST YEAR!”
Then somebody reminds me what happened the year before that.
I say:
“STOP BRINGING UP THE PAST!”
BECAUSE AS A JETS FAN…
THE PAST IS A HOSTILE WITNESS!
But now I’m hearing that Woody Johnson is already asking questions about MIKE TOMLIN.
OH!
NOW YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION!
According to Jason La Canfora, Woody is doing his homework on Tomlin and there’s real interest if Aaron Glenn’s season goes south.
And before I go any further…
LET ME MAKE SOMETHING VERY CLEAR.
I RESPECT AARON GLENN!
I LIKE AARON GLENN!
I RESPECT WHAT HE’S TRYING TO DO WITH THIS FOOTBALL TEAM!
And let’s not forget — this is a guy who PLAYED FOR THE JETS!
He knows what this organization means.
He knows what this fan base is like.
He knows what it feels like when 80,000 people are screaming at you because you gave up a third-and-17!
So I’m NOT sitting here rooting for Aaron Glenn to fail.
HELL NO!
I WANT AARON GLENN TO WIN!
I WANT THIS MAN TO TAKE THE JETS AND MAKE ME LOOK LIKE THE BIGGEST IDIOT ON SPORTS RADIO!
PLEASE!
MAKE ME LOOK STUPID, AARON!
I’ll come on the air and say:
“Ladies and gentlemen, I WAS WRONG!”
I’ll say it proudly!
I’ll wear a Jets hat!
I’ll do the damn Electric Slide!
I’LL EVEN APOLOGIZE TO WOODY JOHNSON!
THAT’S HOW MUCH I WANT AARON GLENN TO SUCCEED!
But here’s the reality…
THIS IS THE NEW YORK JETS!
And unfortunately, this isn’t Pop Warner.
Nobody’s handing you a participation trophy because:
“Hey Aaron, great effort! The guys really enjoyed practice!”
NO!
THIS IS THE NFL!
You get paid to win football games.
And the Jets won THREE GAMES LAST YEAR!
THREE!
I’ve had leftovers in my refrigerator longer than the Jets had wins!
So if Aaron Glenn comes out this year and wins 10, 11, 12 games?
I’M ALL IN!
I DON’T WANT MIKE TOMLIN!
I DON’T WANT ANYBODY ELSE!
Aaron Glenn is my guy!
If this man gets the Jets into the playoffs, I’ll be the first one screaming:
“GET OFF AARON GLENN’S BACK!”
But if the Jets struggle again…
If we’re sitting here in December talking about another three-, four-, five-win season…
Then Woody Johnson has to ask the question:
“DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT MAN?”
That’s not disrespect.
That’s football.
And if Mike Tomlin is sitting there available?
YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE CALL!
Because I can’t keep asking Jets fans to be patient.
WE’VE BEEN PATIENT SINCE THE FLIP PHONE!
At some point, patience becomes A RESTRAINING ORDER!
So Aaron Glenn…
I RESPECT YOU.
I WANT YOU TO WIN.
I WANT YOU TO BE THE GUY.
But I’m also a Jets fan.
And I’m going to tell you the truth:
WIN, AND THIS IS YOUR TEAM.
LOSE, AND THAT HOT SEAT IS GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE SURFACE OF THE SUN!
And if Mike Tomlin and Lamar Jackson are sitting there waiting?
WOODY JOHNSON BETTER HAVE HIS PHONE CHARGED!
NOW…
Let’s talk about Lamar Jackson.
Because I see the name LAMAR JACKSON and I’m like:
WAIT A DAMN MINUTE!
WHO GAVE WOODY MY PHONE NUMBER?!
Because now you’re telling me there could potentially be a path to Mike Tomlin AND Lamar Jackson?
DON’T PLAY WITH ME!
I’M A JETS FAN!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
I’ve spent YEARS watching Jets quarterbacks throw footballs like they’re trying to return a rented car before the dealership closes!
And now you’re telling me I might get LAMAR JACKSON?!
LAMAR JACKSON?!
A quarterback who can actually run?
A quarterback who can throw?
A quarterback who can make a defender miss?
A quarterback who doesn’t make me reach for the blood-pressure machine every time he drops back?
I’M IN!
And apparently the Jets have the draft capital to make something like this happen.
THREE FIRST-ROUND PICKS!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
THE JETS HAVE ACTUAL ASSETS!
WE HAVE SOMETHING OTHER THAN MEMORIES!
WE HAVE PICKS!
WE HAVE DEFENSE!
WE HAVE A POTENTIAL QUARTERBACK!
WE HAVE A POTENTIAL COACH!
WE MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE A PLAN!
And that’s when I get nervous…
Because this is the Jets.
Every time I start getting excited, somebody from Florham Park walks into the room and says:
“WAIT… WE HAVE AN IDEA.”
NO!
NO MORE IDEAS!
JUST DO THE OBVIOUS THING!
If Aaron Glenn wins?
KEEP HIM!
If Aaron Glenn loses?
CALL TOMLIN!
If Lamar Jackson becomes available?
EMPTY THE DAMN DRAWERS!
DON’T COME TO ME WITH:
“Well, Errol, we don’t want to give up too much draft capital.”
DRAFT CAPITAL?!
I’M A JETS FAN!
I DON’T HAVE TIME TO WAIT FOR A 2029 FIRST-ROUND PICK TO DEVELOP!
I WANT TO WIN NOW!
I’ve been told to “trust the process” so many times I’m starting to think I’m in a doctor’s office!
WHAT PROCESS?!
THE PROCESS HAS BEEN RUNNING SINCE THE FLINTSTONES WERE ON TELEVISION!
And let’s be honest…
Jets fans are experts at getting excited too early.
Give us one good preseason drive and we’re already saying:
“WHO ARE WE PLAYING IN THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP?”
One touchdown pass and somebody’s making a Super Bowl graphic!
One defensive stop and we’re saying:
“THIS DEFENSE IS BETTER THAN THE ’85 BEARS!”
WE ARE COMPLETELY INSANE!
And I LOVE IT!
Because that’s what being a Jets fan is.
We’re battered.
We’re bruised.
We’re emotionally exhausted.
But every August…
WE COME BACK!
WHY?
BECAUSE WE’RE IDIOTS!
BECAUSE WE LOVE OUR TEAM!
BECAUSE DEEP DOWN INSIDE…
WE STILL BELIEVE!
But Woody Johnson…
I’m begging you.
If you really want to change this franchise…
STOP TRYING TO BE THE SMARTEST GUY IN THE ROOM!
Hire the football people.
Let them football.
You stay out of the way.
If Mike Tomlin is available?
GO GET HIM!
If Lamar Jackson is available?
GO GET HIM!
And if Aaron Glenn takes this team and wins?
LET THE MAN COOK!
Because I don’t want another Jets offseason where we’re sitting around saying:
“NEXT YEAR IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT.”
I’VE HEARD THAT SENTENCE MY ENTIRE LIFE!
NEXT YEAR HAS MORE JOB SECURITY THAN I DO!
I WANT THIS YEAR TO BE DIFFERENT!
I WANT TO WALK INTO METLIFE STADIUM AND NOT FEEL LIKE I’M WALKING INTO A GROUP THERAPY SESSION!
I WANT TO WATCH THE FOURTH QUARTER AND NOT START DOING MY LAUNDRY BECAUSE I KNOW THE GAME IS OVER!
I WANT TO SEE THE JETS ACTUALLY FINISH SOMETHING!
And if the football gods are finally willing to stop laughing at us…
Mike Tomlin on the sideline.
Lamar Jackson at quarterback.
This defense flying around.
Three first-round picks.
And Woody Johnson…
STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!
THAT’S MY PLAN!
Because I’m Errol Marks…
I’m a Jets fan…
And I’ve suffered enough!
I DON’T WANT ANOTHER REBUILD!
I DON’T WANT ANOTHER FIVE-YEAR PLAN!
I DON’T WANT ANOTHER “WE’RE CLOSE!”
I WANT WINS!
I WANT PLAYOFFS!
I WANT A SUPER BOWL!
AND DAMMIT…
I WANT TO BE AN INSUFFERABLE JETS FAN FOR ONCE!
LET ME TALK TRASH!
LET ME BE ANNOYING!
LET ME WALK INTO WORK ON MONDAY MORNING SAYING:
“HOW ‘BOUT THEM JETS?!”
I’VE EARNED IT!
NOW, WOODY…
DON’T SCREW THIS UP!
BECAUSE IF YOU DO…
I’M COMING FOR YOU ON THE RADIO!
AND YOU KNOW I HAVE A MICROPHONE!
LET’S GO JETS!

My name is Errol Marks and I’d like to tell you why I believe I can be a major asset to your station. I’m from a small town in Long Island, NY and from a very young age I’ve always had a love for sports talk radio. Growing up, I would listen religiously to shows like Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike and Mike, and Imus in the Morning and studied what made those shows so great. I’ve made it my goal to be as influential as the hosts I grew up listening to, and with my knowledge of all major sports, enthusiastic and fearless personality, and my preparation skills, I know I can get to that level. This is an art and a medium that I’m passionate about and one that I feel can never be replaced.
What makes my story so unique goes beyond my 10+ years of experience in sports media. In addition to over ten years of creating and hosting sports talk radio shows, I created the World Wide Sports Radio Network - one of the first ever digital sports radio networks - in 2012. Since the network began, we have had some of the best content in digital sports media. We have six quality shows on our network covering all sports and sports betting. I’m currently hosting New York’s Sports Loud Mouth, and you can find that show and the rest of our great shows at https://worldwidesportsradio.com/.
Our network’s content and listenership has grown significantly year to year and, in the past year, we’ve achieved 3.6 million minutes listened on our audio stream, over 29k followers on tik tok, 500k viewed on YouTube, 1.7 million downloads on Apple Podcasts, and 906,917 plays on Spotify. While we are enjoying a continued increase in growth, I feel that we can take this to a new level and a new audience with your help.
My goal since the day I started is to become the greatest and most recognizable sports radio show host in the country. I can guarantee that nobody in this industry currently has my passion, personality or ability to shape the future of sports broadcasting and entertainment like I do. If given the opportunity, I hope to further share my story and many talents with you and your station.
