Earlier this week, Jeff Garlin let the (black) cat out of the bag, announcing on Instagram that “Curb Your Enthusiasm” will return in January for its 10th season on HBO.

Since then, actor and executive producer Jeff Garlin has been making the TV rounds to pump up the show. One of his appearances came on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.” And Garlin teased one of the storylines for the upcoming season.

“There will be something on the Jets this season. ... I’m not saying anything, I’m just saying something. Yeah, I’ll leave it at that. Not giving away too much, but the Jets are involved in this season.”

BREAKING NEWS:

An NFL team will be featured in the next season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" according to @TheJeffGarlin on @gmfb.

It’s no secret that show creator Larry David is a fan of the Jets. Who can forget his appearance at Jets training camp in 2016? Per NJ Advance Media’s Darryl Slater:

David has publicly pleaded with Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to shave his beard. (Fitzpatrick actually trimmed it down a bit after saying he would consider David’s request. Fitzpatrick said he’s a big “Seinfeld” fan.) David has also (jokingly) said, multiple times, that he thinks he’d make an excellent offensive or defensive coordinator for the Jets.

That David would incorporate the Jets comes as no surprise. Among the athletes who have made cameos on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is Newark native Shaquille O’Neal in Season 2.

And who can forget former Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner in Season 9.

Yup, Season 10 should be pretty, pretty, pretty good.
