We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Polo Grounds — The final sporting event at the Polo Grounds was a New York Mets baseball game on September 18, 1963, not a Jets (Titans) game.
Polo Grounds — The second Polo Grounds was destroyed by a fire on April 14, 1911, not condemned and demolished.
Sonny Wertheim Purchase — The owner's name is given as 'Sonny Wertheim' but the correct name is Arnold 'Sonny' Werblin.
Sonny Wertheim Purchase — The STATS section lists 'Primary Home Stadium=Polo Grounds' without noting the move to Shea Stadium in 1964, which is misleading as a static fact.
1970 AFL-NFL Merger — The lore states the Patriots were the fourth AFL team placed elsewhere, but the Patriots were actually placed in the AFC East alongside the Jets, Bills, Dolphins, and Colts.
Super Bowl III Victory — The claim that 'Joe Namath became the first quarterback to guarantee a Super Bowl victory on live television three days before the game' is misleading: Namath's guarantee was made at a public event, not on live television.
Super Bowl III Victory — The claim that 'the Jets' defense recorded zero sacks in Super Bowl III, as the statistic was not officially tracked until later years' is factually incorrect: The Jets' defense did record at least one sack in that game.
Super Bowl III — The game-winning field goal by Jim Turner in the third quarter gave the Jets a 10-0 lead: The Jets led 10-0 at halftime, and Jim Turner's field goal in the third quarter made it 13-0, not 10-0.
Curtis Martin Rushing — Curtis Martin joined the Jets via a trade with the Patriots in 1998, not as a free agent.
Curtis Martin Rushing — The claim that Martin's five Pro Bowl selections with the Jets are more than any other running back in franchise history is inaccurate; Freeman McNeil also made five Pro Bowls with the Jets.
Joe Namath — Bart Starr did not win a college national championship at Alabama; Alabama's first national championship under Bear Bryant was in 1961, after Starr graduated.
Ernie Davis — The entry incorrectly lists Pat Tillman as an example of a player who had his number retired without playing a game for the team, when in fact he played 40 games for the Arizona Cardinals.
