Gizmo Williams Henry L . " Gizmo " Williams ( born May 31 , 1962 , in Memphis , Tennessee ) is a retired American and Canadian football kick returner and wide receiver . After his retirement at the end of the 2000 CFL season , Williams worked as a motivational speaker . Born into an impoverished family , Williams was raised by his brother Edgar after the death of both his parents as a child , and , after Edgar ' s death , by an aunt .

Riptide ( mascot ) Logo and mascot . Tulane officials commissioned John Chase in 1945 to illustrate the covers of its football game programs . He came up with Greenie , a mischievous boy who would be considered an unofficial mascot by many fans . Chase illustrated Greenie on program covers until 1969 . In 1963 the Athletics Director and Eldon Endacott , manager of the university bookstore , contacted Art Evans , a commercial artist who already had designed the Boilermaker mascot for Purdue University , the Wisconsin Badgers and the University of Southern California Trojan , to create a new mascot for Tulane athletics . His design for a mean - looking anthropomorphic wave - crest was officially adopted in 1964 . A new logo consisting of a white block " T " with green and blue waves crossing its center was adopted in 1986 as the primary symbol for official uniforms , though the " angry wave " continued to be used unofficially in licensed products , and a costumed Green Wave nicknamed " Gumby " served as the mascot . A full redesign of all athletics logos and marks was commissioned in 1998 , replacing the " angry wave " and " wavy T " designs with a green and blue oblique " T " crested by a foamy wave . " Gumby " was replaced with a new pelican mascot , recalling the university seal , and the fact that a pelican was often used in the first half of the century as the emblem of Tulane ' s athletics teams . The pelican is also the Louisiana state bird and is found on the state flag and state seal ) . The name " Riptide " was selected for the performing pelican by the administration after a vote of the student body in which the students actually voted that the pelican be named " Pecker . " The pelican mascot name may have been so voted as the student body had also overwhelmingly voted for Poseidon to be the mascot . Poseidon was rejected by the administration and student body government because it could be portrayed as a white male .

1999 New York Jets season The 1999 New York Jets season was the 40th season for the team , and the 30th in the National Football League . The team tried to maintain or improve upon its 12 – 4 record from 1998 . An injury to starting quarterback Vinny Testaverde in the season ' s opening game essentially doomed the Jets ' chances at title contention for the season . Still , the team managed to finish with a record of 8 – 8 in what turned out to be their third and final season under head coach Bill Parcells . Testaverde suffered a ruptured Achilles ' tendon in the opening game , and was one of three Jet starters to have their season ended by injuries . In the same game that Testaverde was injured , kick returner and running back Leon Johnson tore two ligaments in his knee . Then later in the season against Denver , linebacker Chad Cascadden tore ligaments in his knee trying to make a tackle . Due to Testaverde ' s injury the Jets were forced to use three different quarterbacks during the season . Parcells initially used punter Tom Tupa to replace Testaverde in the opening game against the Patriots , but pulled him before the end of the game in favor of Rick Mirer . Parcells had acquired Mirer , a top draft pick in 1993 that had largely been unspectacular as a player , in the offseason and traded Glenn Foley , a popular Jet backup , to the Seahawks . That move was roundly criticized by New York media , especially when Mirer only won one of his first five starts . Parcells finally benched Mirer after the team ' s seventh game ; although Mirer led the Jets to a victory over the Arizona Cardinals , he only managed five touchdown passes in six starts with nine interceptions . With the team at 2 – 6 Parcells went to Ray Lucas to start , despite Lucas being used largely as a special teams player and having never made a start prior to the 1999 season . Parcells reminded the Jets that a seventh loss would most likely eliminate them from playoff contention and warned his players to avoid it . Lucas led New York to two victories in a row , but losses to Indianapolis and the New York Giants left the Jets with eight losses and eliminated them from further contention . However , the Jets did not lose a game after their loss to their inter - stadium rivals and beat three playoff teams down the stretch ; these games consisted of a sweep of their division rival Miami Dolphins , a win against the Dallas Cowboys in Texas Stadium , and a final week defeat of the AFC West champion Seattle Seahawks .
