flgreen Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 ESPN Mag: Jets worst franchise in NFL September, 18, 2013 Sep 18 1:25 PM ET By Rich Cimini | ESPNNewYork.com It isn't easy being green. In the latest issue of ESPN The Magazine -- the annual "Franchise" issue -- the Jets are rated as the worst franchise in the NFL and 121st out of 122 teams in the major sports. The ratings are based on several criteria -- fan relations, affordability, bang for the buck, stadium experience, players, ownership, title track and coaching. In case you're wondering, the Sacramento Kings finished 122nd. There seems to be an anti-New York bias, as the Giants (66), Rangers (76), Yankees (87) and Knicks (102) all rank in the bottom half of the standings. Presumably, the price of tickets in New York was a huge factor in the ratings. But to say the Jets are 121st out of 122 teams is absurd. They don't belong among the elite, but they also don't belong among the dregs. The NBA's Memphis Grizzlies finished No. 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HessStation Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Wow. Lol. Worse than Jacksonville? And The Tampa bay Rays? Is it worth arguing about whether they're second to last vs 106 (or something), where they probably belong? Let me guess the Sox are top 5? And Yanks 87? LOL. Ok.

Matt39 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 It's basically a bang for your buck list. Combines winning, ticket/concession prices etc. Its not a Forbes type list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Mick Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 And they got exactly what they wanted. Attention and people reading it. If I was trying to sell something (sports media) I'd just write something negative about the Jets. Are fan base eats that sh*t up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time you saw a hockey player slam dunk? when was the last time a basketball player on a break away went glove side on a goalie to win a playoff game? or a basketball playoff game went into triple overtime - almost 2 full games? when was the last time a basketball player got hit in the face, got 60 stitches, and came back into the game? or played with fractured ribs and a separated shoulder? when was the last time a basketball game gave you an ulcer and you didn't even care about who won? hockey > basketball. the end. good day.
