Jets Pain From New York To England

Recommended Posts

I went to school in the mid to late 80`s, surrounded by people wearing shirts of the Raiders, 49ers, Giants, Dolphins and Bears, the most popular teams at the time. I was told that the JETS SUCK!

Great article.

I feel your pain. The worst was the Giants fans were giving me crap because why wasn't I a Giants fan, being from New York.

The early 80's were a nightmare trying to get word of what was happening, especially with phone calls costing so much - we used to cross the border to use a phone box in Northern Ireland once a fortnight, as it was a fraction of the price to call the US from there. As bad a station as Channel 4 is now, I will always be grateful for their coverage. (Well, the Vicious Boys excluded)

And I was always envious of you lot in England who could pick up the Armed Forces Network.

Just keep repeating to yourself "I am a Giants fan now" and maybe eventually it will work. It's slowly working for me. I cleaned out my closet yesterday and found a bunch of blue stuff, and I thought "wow this stuff is really beautiful" "blue is really a great color."
