Maxman Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 For a little while anyhow... Many of you met my son at tailgates and Jets events along the way. He started going to games with me when he was 7, and only missed two games along the way. When he was in 5th grade he had basketball games on Sunday. When he was in 6th grade he said Dad I am not playing basketball anymore because it conflicts with the Jets. Well time goes by and he goes to college and will report for football camp on Monday. I am not sure what his schedule is yet on the weekends (they play Friday or Saturday) but this could be his last Jets game for now. Going to get there early today. Sit back. Relax. And enjoy a tailgate as we break down the NY Jets roster like we always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 And I just reread the thread title. It sounds darker than I was going for, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...If I hadn't known he was heading off to college, I would have thought something was seriously wrong. Hey, hopefully there are some games along the way THIS season, that will be worth having him come home from school to go with the old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you'll have to report back on whether the overall quality of his life seems to improve. Perhaps we'll all follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we'll all follow suit. LOL. That is funny. He is going to be living across from the Jets complex in Florham Park. But maybe he will find that not going to Jets games is a good thing. We will find out soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a bye week one it seems. Since they start later than everyone else it looks like they pushed the start of camp back a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Title still sounds like someone in your family is sick or your job is moving you to New Mexico or something. I didn't see the old title and I still thought something was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything you can recommend to make sure everything goes smooth? I started taking him young. I said there are a few rules (this was an actual conversation that we had): 1. We eat before the game, eat as much as you want at the tailgate, but we once the game starts we are not going to the concession stands. 2. Go to the bathroom on the way in and if needed at halftime. We are not getting up during the game to go to the bathroom. 3. You will see and hear a bunch of things during the game, we are going to call them life lessons. At no point does any of that get shared with Mom. I think he turned out okay, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
