Dennis Byrd Dennis DeWayne Byrd ( born October 5 , 1966 ) is a former defensive end and defensive tackle for the New York Jets of the National Football League . He attended college at the University of Tulsa in Tulsa , Oklahoma . He played professionally for the Jets for four seasons beginning in 1989 . In his first two seasons , he recorded 27 sacks and 110 tackles . Injury and recovery . Byrd suffered a neck injury during an NFL game against the Kansas City Chiefs on November 29 , 1992 . During the play , he rushed in an attempt to sack Chiefs quarterback Dave Krieg , but Krieg stepped up to avoid the tackle , and Byrd collided with Jets teammate Scott Mersereau . He ducked his head at the last moment before he collided with Mersereau ' s chest . The head - first collision resulted in a broken C - 5 vertebra that left him unable to walk for the time being . Eventually , after extensive physical therapy , he would walk again but he couldn ' t go back to playing football . During his recovery , the Jets briefly used an ichthys logo bearing his old # 90 . In addition , some members ( mainly offensive linemen ) from the Buffalo Bills also wore it as a sign of support ( the first game following his injury was against the Bills ) . Byrd returned to the Meadowlands for the Jets ' home opener on September 5 , 1993 , walking to midfield as an honorary captain for the coin toss . During a halftime ceremony , Jets president Steve Gutman presented him with a trophy for the Most Inspirational Player Award , which would thereafter be called the Dennis Byrd Award . Aftermath . The Jets have not reissued Byrd ' s # 90 since 1992 , and it was understood that no Jet would ever wear it again . The Jets formally retired the # 90 jersey during a half - time ceremony on October 28 , 2012 against the Miami Dolphins . He is the co - author of an autobiographical work titled " Rise and Walk : The Trial and Triumph of Dennis Byrd " and the subject of a made for television film " Rise and Walk : The Dennis Byrd Story " . Peter Berg played him in the movie . Byrd has spent most of the last several years traveling across the country and sharing his life story . He served as defensive line coach at Owasso High School in Owasso , Oklahoma and later at Lincoln Christian School in Tulsa . Lincoln Christian ' s football stadium is named for him . He currently lives in Tulsa with his wife , the former Angela Hales , and their four children . He is a devout Pentecostal . During the week leading up to the between the Jets and the Patriots , Byrd sent Jets ' head coach Rex Ryan his tattered , cut up jersey that had been cut from his body on the day of his injury along with an inspirational letter addressed to the Jets . Ryan was so moved by this that he invited him to come out and personally address the team prior to the Patriots game . The inspired Jets carried his jersey to the coin toss prior to the game ; the Jets won 28 - 21 .
Regular season In an organized sports league , a season is the portion of one year in which regulated games of the sport are in session . For example , in Major League Baseball , one season lasts approximately from April 1 through October 1 ; in association football , it is generally from August until May ( although in some countries , especially those in Scandinavia , the season starts in the spring and finishes in the autumn due to the weather conditions encountered during the winter ) . A year can often be broken up into several distinct sections ( sometimes themselves called seasons ) . These are : Pre - season . Most team sports have a period of training to recover fitness levels , followed by exhibition game s or friendly match es prior to the start of their regular seasons ( " pre - season training " and " pre - season " games ) . The game results do not count in the season standings of the teams , so they serve conveniently to test player candidates and to practice teamwork under game conditions . They may be used to promote the team effectively both at home and elsewhere . For some teams a pre - season overseas tour may be profitable , even lucrative . For some leagues , overseas games may promote their sport or their league to new audiences . Regular season . The terms season ( UK ) , regular season ( North America ) and home and away season ( Australia ) are used to denote the time when the bulk of games are played . In Australia and North America , it is common for the teams to play a regular season and use the results to seed a post - season playoff tournament . Elsewhere , league and / or cup competitions are played at the same time during the " season " . Depending on the sport and league , all teams may or may not play against each other . All teams usually play the same number of games , and will play half the matches at their home ground or arena and the other half away at opponents ' venues . Post - season . Many sports leagues have playoffs that occur after the regular season is complete . A subset of the teams enter into a playoff tournament , generally a pre - determined number with better overall records ( more wins , fewer losses ) during the regular season . There are many variations used to determine the champion , the league ' s top prize . Off - season . The off - season , vacation time , or close season is the time of year when there is no official competition . Although upper management continues to work , the athletes will take much vacation time off . Also , various events such as drafts , transfers and important off - season free agent signings occur . Generally , most athletes stay in shape during the off - season in preparation for the next season . Certain new rules in the league may be made during this time , and will become enforced during the next regular season . Seasons by league . The table represents typical seasons for some leagues by month . Blank or white denotes off - season and pre - season months and solid colors mark the rest of the year . Leagues in the same sport use the same color .
