Jets Fans, Did This Violate Bro-Code?

in Featured Editorials

We received this email today and we need Jet Nation to help us answer it. The question is a simple one, was this a violation of the coveted bro-code that men should be living their life by?

Dear JetNation.com,

I was at a bar watching the Jets play the Packers last Sunday when something happened that I don’t think was right. Our crew has been going to the same place for a few years now. Shamadayo’s is our escape from reality since we live down south and are not able to see the Jets play in person. The place has big screen TVs everywhere and it is the only Jets bar in the area.

The game was not good. None of us were happy. Over the past 12 years we have seen our share of bad Jets moments. Yet the bro-code is always our compass. It gets us through the tough times because all respect each other. Ron was different this week. Sure we all wanted Schotty to run the ball more. Sure we were disappointed that Sanchez couldn’t get the ball to J-Cotch in a good spot. Yes, we knew that J-Cotch would be blamed for drops even though that just isn’t possible.

But with seconds winding down, Ron thew $40 on the bar and said I am done with you b*tches. I am done with this team. Then he left and hasn’t responded to any of our text messages or emails.

This seems like a clear violation of bro-code. Tell us if we are right.

We have some thoughts on this but ultimately we will let Jet Nation decide. Some things that we ask you consider is the use of the word bitches. Not really feeling that one. Also, slamming your money down on the bar and not checking to see if you left enough is never a cool thing.

Was this a violation of bro-code?

[Sperm Edwards]

If you have to ask, it's a violation.

[slats]

I wish Ron well. Must feel like breaking out of prison.

Although, most convicts find themselves back in the joint at some point.

[Larz]

good riddance

just make sure you prank him and post it on youtube

[JetsFanInDenver]

This is what Schotty does to people!

[T0mShane]

If you've never cursed the Jets and ran screaming from any structure in which you happened to be watching them suck, then you're clearly not invested in them enough to call yourself a fan. Or, you're a fortunate youth who only began watching them play A.P. (After Parcells).

Very well put .. you kinda get used to life in this prison

[stoicsentry]

He waited until THIS game to flip out? Really? How in the hell did THIS game set him off after all we've seen??

This.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[Maxman]

So what I am reading is that this "fan" violated bro-code. Interesting.

Truth.

[RutgersJetFan]

He paid. So, no.

[serphnx]

If anybody actually tells you things like "be a man" or "follow the bro-code" or anything similar to that and you can't have sex with them or they are otherwise not female, you should punch them and not talk to them anymore. I honestly can't think of anything more effeminate than a bunch of guys sitting around imposing dumb rules on each other in the name of their manhood. If you have to do that, you don't have any manhood and all your rules are void.

So my answer is, these bunch of pussies should beg this Ron fellow for a set of balls, as they themselves don't have any.

I would also like to start a thread on JN for all of us older fans entitled "When did you give up on the Jets/When did you realize SOJ is inescapable?"

That is the point you cross where you just don't care anymore. Sure you want the Jets to win still, and most of us even post on this website still and are happy when the team succeeds, but when the Jets lose we aren't surprised either. When they choke or blow games that's just met with a shrug. Hell, there are many in this boat in sports media as well, such as Chris Berman, who gave up a long time ago.

Our friend Ron has had that epiphany and has reached that place with the rest of us.

For me it was about 2 years ago with that epic Favre-led collapse down the stretch to miss the playoffs. After that point I just knew. Even if the Jets do win the SB now, it won't be the same for me. Sure I'll celebrate and be happy, but I just won't really care that much either. I'd be sort of surprised, and also more or less expect some sort of coming collapse right after that.

When I see people get really angry now with the Jets failures or people mocking the Jets, I can just nod my head and remember how it was when I was like that too.

I salute Ron, who else joins me?

[slowmoe57]

I am sure Ron will be back --

But remember the Monday night Miracle commercial when the fan leaves the bar and then wants back in during the comeback only to be turned away.

Keep that in mind.

No offense, dude, but you've violated about a dozen man-rules with this rant. You have been reported to the appropriate authorities and expect swift and certain revocation of your man card. Turn in your boxers and pick up your thong at the nearest office.

[Jbro22]

Um, those drops were Cotch's fault.

What he said.... Those rules are silly and should be phased out after High School. Barbarians!!!!!!

[THE ILK]

Does anybody remember that NFL commercial?

"It's all about loyalty son"

[NjJets4027]

Ron probably went home to beat his wife and kick the dog...

[THE ILK]

Ron probably went home to beat his wife and kick the dog...

Did it say he was drinking gin?

[JetsFanInDenver]

Maybe just maybe Ron had a fleeting thought of Lisa Lampanelli and wanted to go home quickly and rub one out.

[sirlancemehlot]

Bro-code? Violations? Maybe I'm just a bit older than the "bro-code" generation, but theres never been any question of whether or not someone has been operating outside some imagined code of ethics and manners. If you think you've been insulted, you throw a punch and aim for the nose. If you're not sure if you've been insulted, you throw a punch and aim for the for the chin/cheek. If you haven't been insulted at all, but find you haven't punched anyone in a while, find a friend and throw a punch, but be decent enough to aim for the liver. My mom and I have resovled countless disagreements with one another this way, and I've found it to be effective. Finally, if you've been insulted and you don't take a swing, but instead ask everyone you can find for advice on how best to manage the situation, you are under thirty and probably need a "bro-code" because American men of your generation have been emasculated and feminized and don't know when to punch or where to aim.

Do the urinal rules still exist or can I pee next to another man in a nearly empty restroom now?

No. He's had it with this team c0ck-teasing him. A real violation would have been to turn the game off and watch Cake Boss instead.

Men are allowed to be irrational when it comes to their sports team. Jets push us towards the cliff.

[sirlancemehlot]

Do the urinal rules still exist or can I pee next to another man in a nearly empty restroom now?

you can. but he can also punch you in the face and call your sister a whore. it's allowed. What you can't do is

urinate in a stall toilet when urinals are available, signalling to others that you have a small peter and dont want them to look.

so there is still some sort of man-law associated with urinal usage then? Ok gotcha.

And what if my sister is a whore? Thats not much of an insult.

I'd rather them assume I have mini-junk than actually see, point and laugh at my vienna sausage wee-wee.

Just take the punch to the vienna sausage wee-wee as the insult.

but the urinal man-law is still in effect? I need to know!

[THE ILK]

The only urinal man-law I follow is don't sit on it.

all good points. you may still punch him in the face regardless of whether or not you even have a sister. As for the vienna sausage...perhaps a stall is best. I would simply close the door and pretend to drop a deuce. Everyone's happy and no feelings are hurt. Perhaps I should start a weekly advice column.

[slowmoe57]

and don't eat the giant mint.

I thought they were cakes.

Luckily I often have gas and can pass it off as a failed attempt at dropping the kids off swimming.
