When Jets fans are unhappy, we all win.
President-elect Donald Trump made the decision Monday to name billionaire investment banker Warren A. Stephens as the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Wonderful. Now he can just concentrate on selling the team.

BREAKING: Woody Johnson will NOT be becoming Ambassador to the UK again, so it looks like he will be staying around, unless he gets a different position
