Popular Post Hex Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 So I've been on JN for nearly 2 and a half years. Recently I have realized that I spend a lot of time on here and that it's taking up more time than I anticipated. So I'm going to take a pretty long break from this board, much to my own sadness. However, as a goodbye I would like to express my gratitude for this board and its members. When I joined in October of 2021, I was not a Jets fan. I was a Zach Wilson fan. I only joined JN to follow what he was doing and what Jets fans thought. I had no intention of completely immersing myself in this community. However, not 3 months in I started to realize that I didn't have an NFL team to cheer for. Why not the Jets, with one of my favorite college players starting as the QB? And so I became a Jets fan, moreso because of Zach Wilson instead of the team itself. Over time, that started to change. By the end of the 2021 season I found that I was rooting for the Jets to do well, regardless of what happened with Zach. By the 2022 draft I was still a Zach apologist, but a Jets fan at heart. By this most recent season I had completely moved on from Zach Wilson and wanted him off of the team so that the Jets wouldn't have to deal with him anymore. At this point I had done a complete 180 and (In my opinion) became as much of a Jets fan that I could be at this point. Now, I don't consider myself to be any different from other Jets fans. I've gone to a game, and I've spent hours on JN talking with people. What do I attribute this change to? I found that I had immersed myself in this community, and because of that I saw I wanted to root for the team, and not some player who wasn't good at all anyways. So, as ironic as it sounds, I want to say thank you for making me a Jets fan. Because now I have learned what it is like to truly be a fan of an NFL team. I probably chose the worst team to be a fan of, but there's no turning back now. Here's to the Jets winning it all next season, or the next or something like that! Thank you for listening to my TED Talk 22 1 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jeremy2020 Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 I wish you well. Recovery is a long journey, but every step you take will closer. Look for Z.A. group in your area. The first step is acknowledging the problem. No one, of course, likes admitting to something like this. Every natural instinct cries out against the idea of personal powerlessness. It is truly awful to admit that you have warped your mind into such an obsession for destructive Zach Fandom that only an act of Providence can remove it. Work the 12 steps and come back to us. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicketybam Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I'd say I'm sorry you became a Jets fan but you were a Zach Wilson fan first. You already knew heartbreak and despair. This should be nothing new 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor guy started a Zach Wilson fan then traded that in for being a Jets fan. That’s like starting as a heroin addict, managing to quit, then becoming a meth addict instead. I’d want to take a long break from my enablers if I were him, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
