Yeah I thought his comments were in poor taste. Here someone just lost a bus and he wants to take cheap shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetNation Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 The Daily News has a story about a Jets bus that caught on fire. The author apparently thought it was a good idea to riddle the article with lame Jets jokes. Personally we feel for the owner of this Jets bus. Hopefully they have insurance and can get a new Jets ride in time for next season. Good luck to this Jets crew and if they need a place to tailgate they can definitely hang out with us next year. So, this isn’t a great omen for the 2016 Jets season.

joewilly12 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Everyone takes cheap shots at the Jets no matter what,even some of our fans. Sad story guys put a lot of time and effort into those tailgate vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbatesman Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Lame jokes aside, a Jets-branded bus catching fire is the best metaphor for this franchise since the Buttfumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 What a team. I feel bad for the people involved. But this is ridiculous. "The bus caught fire around 7 p.m., apparently not aware that the franchise usually waits until the second half of the NFL season to go up in flames." This line is pretty funny.

Snell41 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The fire was "complicated" by many propane tanks in the vicinity? Sounds like the guy had a SoFlaJets moment and renounced his fanship with fire! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
