Popular Post Hystorm Posted May 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2021 In 2018, I began following the NFL for the first time in my life. I'm in my mid 50's and have been a BYU Football fan since age 8. In 2018, I began following Taysom Hill and the Saints. Now, I fully plan on also following the Jets. No doubt in my mind there will be thousands more like myself as we don't have an NFL team in Utah. I feel It's going to be a fun year.

Welcome..... so honestly, how badly did BYU Nation want the Jets to pass on Zach? What do you think of Hoge as a Center? What# you think he’ll go with. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Cowbell Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 From what I have seen on TV, Mormons can take more than one wife. You may want to apply that to the teams you root for in the NFL after a season of this team. 3 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hystorm Posted May 6, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2021 On that note and for the sake of education, Mormons are not Polygamists. They were when they 'moved' to Utah back in the early 1800's, before Utah was a state, etc. However, since it was against the law in the U.S. and the current U.S. President at that time sent an army to arrest anyone practicing Poly, Brigham Young signed a declaration outlawing the practice. That was back around 1830's or so I'm guessing. I'm not a Mormon but have lived here my whole life and know a ton about them. The members that were not OK with this new declaration, left the church and moved to Mexico and other areas. They are called: The fundamentalist's or Mormon Fundamentalists. They are indeed anti-Mormon and have nothing to do with the actual church in any way. Those against religion are always trying to hang the polyg crap on the Mormon church. I find it a bit funny as the co-workers and neighbors I know that are Mormon are amazing, cool and down to earth people! On the other note, from what I've read and heard, the Wilson family is pushing for #2. Don't think anything is in stone yet. 17 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lith Posted May 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2021 A buddy of mine from LA jumped on the Jets bandwagon after we picked Keyshawn #1 overall back in 1996. He is still here, 25 years later. Always happy to welcome a new fan to the bandwagon; just don't jump off when the going gets tough and you are one of us (which is not always a good thing).

Popular Post TokyoJetsFan Posted May 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2021 I’m so jealous. With this GM, Coach, and QB you have a chance to be a Jets fan only knowing winning seasons. Welcome and just FYI you aren’t allowed to like the Pats, Dolphins, or Bills anymore. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumblerooskie Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Welcome Hystorm, from a fellow new member at JN, and lifelong Jet fan. May your Jets fandom be filled with many wonderful winning seasons, Super Bowl victories, and beating the Dolphins, Pats and Bills twice a year, every year for the rest of your life.....? Interesting history on supposed Mormon polygamy, it's amazing how a stereotype can survive for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most obnoxious comments in the thread so far are yours and @More Cowbell‘s. Fair enough. Maybe I just don't understand fans who follow players and not teams. And I have a form of PTSD from the Favre and Tebow legions who constantly complained about how their flawed idols didn't get a fair shake. Welcome Hystrom. Unlike Favre and Tebow, I am thrilled to have Wilson on the Jets and hope and expect he will have a long and successful career here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
