Here’s a new twist on an old stadium chant: J-E-T-S, Juice, Juice, Juice.

Ever since the Jets traded for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, an undeniable buzz has surrounded the longtime woebegone franchise: Rodgers’ jersey was the best-seller in the NFL Shop in April even though he was acquired in the last week of the month. Season-ticket and suite sales at MetLife Stadium experienced a 400 percent year-over-year spike as of mid-May. Schedule-makers slotted the Jets for six primetime games, including the first ever on Black Friday.

The good vibes are so strong right now they even defeated a same-old-Jets dagger thrown by the injury gods: ESPN broke into “SportsCenter” programming for a live update from the scene Tuesday when it became clear that Rodgers unexpectedly wasn’t practicing despite many of the 40 credentialed media members being on hand just to observe his every move.

Just a minor strained calf, Rodgers later said, as exhaling Jets fans started to wonder whether maybe this time the other shoe really isn’t going to drop.
