I did hear him with Mike this morning and the call was the furthest thing from political. I think all of us ( including yours truly) with a pre-existing condition will not go back to any sort of public gathering ( sports or otherwise) until we’ve received assurance that a drug can/will keep us safe. But read between the lines for a second. Ira is a guy who hasn’t missed a live Jets game since 2005 ( yes he said it) now he’s obviously has the financial wherewithal to do this and good for him. You think some healthy guy who’s owes a few months of back rent, back taxes, you name it will have the financial ability to go watch a sporting event? Not for a while. Sports are in for a lot of hurt folks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebuzzardman Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Hopefully the virus will contract about 4-6 teams in every major pro sports league. Too many damn teams, not enough talent. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Football on TV isn’t so bad. I just got a new cable package from Optimum (for about the same price) which features most of the sports channels like NFLN I was missing. But there are no games to watch. At least no new games. What they do offer are older games and I don’t know the final scores. So in a way it’s like watching a new game except it was 2 years ago. I know still not the same thing but glass half full.

JetsLife Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 2 hours ago, jetstream23 said: He put himself at more risk going to a Jets game in the Oakland Coliseum than he would spending a week in Wuhan! Quite true. I attended 3-4 Jets games from 2000-2002. A huge portion of Oakland fans are literally outta-control predator animals, including a number of current/former gangbangers. Barely made it out alive twice through no fault of my own other than wearing a Jets jersey. Last time I went I wore Jets gear underneath a shirt initially as I wanted to enjoy the game rather than fend for my life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wore a black nondescript shirt and a green hat without a Jets logo to a game in Oakland in October 2009. It was the game where the Jets shutout the Raiders, Leon Washington broke his leg and Sanchez got caught by the camera eating a hotdog on the sideline. A truly epic game...and I took some heat from the locals! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecuadorian Jet Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 8 hours ago, jetstream23 said: I'm sure the NFL is re-thinking its entire plan after hearing from Ira in Staten Island. I'm only being partially facetious here. Governor Cuomo reported that something like 13.9% of New Yorkers tested positive for COVID antibodies. This puts the mortality rate at around 0.75% right now for those who have gotten sick. Let's hope data continues to confirm that the disease was MUCH more prevalent than originally believed because it will mean that it's much less lethal. If any of you have been following the news, you may have notice that my country has been in the eye of the storm in South America. I can say with almost certainty that the US will will continue to see the curve of the rate of infection going up, and with that the increase of the fatality rate. Wishing to be wron because I have family in the US, but everything that the US is doing to "control" the disease screams problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
