January 12.
A boring day, historically speaking. Most interesting perhaps is that on this day in 1991 the US Congress authorizes the use of force to drive Iraq out of Kuwait.
Less cataclysmic but still interesting, the 1969 victory of the New York Jets on this date propels the American Football League to respectability and paves the way for the merger of the old NFL and the AFL to form the football league that we know today.
And the Jets have barely been heard from ever since.
