flgreen Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Banner day at Jet game By Bart HubbuchNovember 7, 2014 | 10:23pm Get ready for even more flag football at Sunday’s Jets game. The “FIRE JOHN IDZIK” advertising banner that was famously flown over Jets practice this week that blasted the team’s general manager has inspired other vocal fans to pay for more Jets banners for the Steelers game at MetLife Stadium, The Post has learned. Sunday’s air attack will include yet another banner by the same anonymous angry female fan who paid roughly $1,000 this week to let her flag fly against the unpopular GM, said Ashley Chalmers, owner of Jersey Shore Aerial Advertising. Chalmers declined to name the woman or divulge what her latest banner will read. “With all the publicity, there’s a lot of fans wanting to buy them, and at least two or three other companies capable of doing it, so you’re probably going to see a lot of planes up there,” Chalmers predicted. His company will be sending a second plane out with a pro-Jets message, Chalmers said. That one has been paid for by a small group of Jets fans who were angered by the banner at practice and want to show their support for the beleaguered 1-8 team, Chalmers said. The planes will circle the stadium from 10 a.m. to noon. The government made NFL stadiums no-fly zones in the wake of 9/11, but planes with advertising are allowed to circle over them up to one hour before kickoff. Chalmers said she has raised her prices to $1,200 because of demand and because MetLife Stadium is a longer trip than the Jets’ practice facility in Florham Park. Several Jets players and Rex Ryan criticized the anti-Jets banner as an unnecessary distraction and a case of misplaced priorities, and Ryan responded Thursday by having a toy helicopter with a “GO JETS” banner fly over practice instead. It looks like the Jets will be forced to respond again Sunday, although Chalmers wouldn’t divulge what the banners are going to say because their sponsors were still “batting around ideas” late Friday afternoon. “They’re just fans who want to make their feelings known,” Chalmers said. “Both good and bad.” Wednesday’s FIRE JOHN IDZIK banner caught the eye of team’s second-year GM on Wednesday as he stood on the field with coach Rex Ryan . Owner Woody Johnson was also on the practice field. The low-flying plane was hard to miss — announcing itself with a loud drone and circling at least a dozen times as it buzzed the field for about 20 minutes.

Awesome, I'm hoping the sky is full of contradictory opinions Sunday. Woody is going to need another twitter poll to figure out whats going on.

BurnleyJet Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Lol add this to a 50 point beat down, and national coverage of the story, plus a two week break for the bye and there will be bodies everywhere. Unless the Jets win, both Rex and and Idzik are gone, and MM will be interim Coach coming out the bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachEY Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Woody should hire an F16 and take down these planes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Woody should hire an F16 and take down these planes... Woody is too cheap and too dumb to think of that. I hope fans who do go to the game wear bags and bring signs inside as well this team and organization deserves all the backlash its getting.

PatriotReign37 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Woody should hire an F16 and take down these planes... Probably would use up all 20 mil in cap space.. Sidewinder missiles are expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucrenegade Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Probably would use up all 20 mil in cap space.. Sidewinder missiles are expensive. that is alright woody would delicate it to idzik and he is cheap so he will replace the missles with a bunch of midgets hanging on the side of the plane throwing hand-grenades.

munchmemory Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 This is friggin unbelievable. lol Only this team could have a dueling plane banner war. Glad that I lived long enough to have seen it. Forget about SOJ. We've now gone to another level entirely. This team under Woody/Idzik/Rex has become an embarrassment/disgrace times 1094.

An air show instead of quality football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Division Marduk Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Woody should track down the guy who had the flying Snoopy all those years ago, and pay the guy to kamikaze it into the banners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything Woody does in retaliation all but proves the truth hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better2bgreenthanblue Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 wish I had a banner that read Woody please sell! Anyone know how old Woody is? Just wondering how long I have to suffer his idiocracy until he keels over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 wish I had a banner that read Woody please sell! Anyone know how old Woody is? Just wondering how long I have to suffer his idiocracy until he keels over. With billions to spend on black market organs he will outlive all of us. Probably an entire research department at J&J dedicated to extending his life as long as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
