Popular Post SoFlaJets Posted January 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2023 He wrote: I was your age when the jets went from Parcells and belicheat and the AFC title game to groh and woody etc. that kinda killed the passion in me and I had to make an internal decision to put football where it belongs. It’s a hobby. A shared experience hobby so to speak. it’s helpful to remember for me that it’s just television programming content that’s purpose is to turn a profit by selling beer , insurance and truck ads. It’s not important so to speak. It’s no more significant than a hallmark movie or a food network baking show. The fans of the superbowl winner don’t get anything tangible. They don’t get exempted from paying taxes, etc. the cheaters had the best run in league history and they were booed by the fans a few times today lol. It’s fleeting. my wish for you my friend is you have a similar realization and you don’t simmer over the jets and lose sleep. Besides, we’ll get ‘em next year This looks like the tactic I'm going to have to re-incorporate back into my life next season, unless things drastically change. I first had to stop watching the Jets when Chad Pennington was a Dolphin and the Jets completely collapsed. Just like the 2008 Jets season I refused to watch the last game of the season after they lost to the 3-11 Seattle Seahawks I knew they were going to lose the last game of that season to the Dolphins - just like I'm pretty sure they'll get beat next Sunday- This game I will give a side glance to while I play pinball just to see if Mike White is still the guy who I had so much hope in. All I. do know is if it looks like we'll be going into the next season playing the same stupid QB games by the same over-matched coaching staff then I will like I did in 2008 cut the Jets out of my life like a cancer. My years are getting shorter and my Sundays getting fewer. I have better and more important things to do than allow a stupid thing like a game ruin my days. I just think what Larz says is true-in the grand scheme of things football means very little 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joe the Breadman Posted January 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2023 Was delivering bread the day after the Jets vs Steelers playoff game when Herm Edwards was coach. I was devastated after that game. A woman working in receiving asked me what was wrong...and i told her about the miserable Jets game. She said i was ridiculous.. she said "Do you think the Jets give a damn if you are having a bad day?

There used to be this bread delivery dude and if I caught him super late night/early morning he'd sell/give me fresh bread off his truck. It was wondrous. Let me know if you got the hookup cause I got the dough (pun intended). 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DireJet Posted January 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2023 Just bet like $25-50 bucks against the Jets each week. Jets lose and there’s a little something to take the sting away. Jets win and you don’t mind too much losing the bet. Best of both worlds. And you’d have won a lot of $ over the last 12 years. ? 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go back with this team when I first watched them on my family’s black and white 27” Admiral TV. My health isn’t what it used to be so I don’t let the constant losing get to me no more. The sun comes up the next day, win or lose! It’s a good distraction and there’s days I need the distraction so I follow the team, but I follow it like someone who follows a soap opera! I just enjoy the ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Ghost Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I used to live and die with how the games went. Then as time went on, I became jaded. I learned to keep things in perspective, and laugh at the ineptitude. After a while I just accepted the fact that we’re one of those teams you see in every sport that never wins. Seasons come, seasons go, they just keep losing. Nothing ever works out. That’s us. There is a bright side though… this place is a lot more entertaining when things are going poorly than when they’re going well. At least we have that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, but there’s always that slight glimmer of “what if” from perennial losing franchises. 2004 Red Sox, 2015 Cubs, 2017 Eagles, etc. eventually one day it just sort of happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
