I'm another Phil. I am a math teacher from "above Westchester" in NY. I teach statistics and logic among other things, so I have a weakness for sports themed internet forums. I used to be a moderator at another forum.....completely different subject matter....so I tend to post just here and there, as I have seen posting as a job so I am selective about my activity. I did not come from another Jets forum....I just found this one a few weeks back, and I saw that there are people here who are bitching about the same things I am, so I signed up.
The name chillybott is based on a player type - a metallic Skarjj warrior - I used to prefer when I played a game called Unreal Tournament about 15 years ago. That's where the profile picture comes from too. I liked the name so I kept it....nothing at all to do with Jets football or anything else.
One of my favorite Jets memories was in 1989 seeing Jets and KC actually play to a tie on MNF in the pouring rain. I was in the 9th grade, and my friend whose dad had season tickets brought me along. When I got the chance to get season tickets in '09 I took it, 3rd row from the roof on the visitor's 40 with a guy who constantly yelled "Bring in Gholston!" two rows back....I miss that guy. When I went to renew in the upper bowl before 2010 I (stupidly) bit on the PSL offer, so now I have 2 seats in the last row of 228b. My PSL will be fully paid off in 2 weeks. I must say, it's not the flashback to 1989 I thought it might be, and especially in the new stadium I find customer service to be non-existent.
I'm another Yankees/Jets fan. My kids are 7, 8,and 9, and I used to joke that I teach them to win with the Yankees and to lose with the Jets. The part about the Yankees isn't so true these days, and the part about the Jets just isn't funny anymore. It feels like they're trying to get rid of fans at this point.
