Can’t Bash the Jets, So Go After the Fans
1-liner, Fans, Media Gossip/Musings, NFL September 25th. 2009, 12:30pmNew York Jets: The backlash was inevitable. Once Rex Ryan started talking smack and new LB Bart Scott began running his mouth and pretty-boy Mark Sanchez began winning, you just knew the claws were going to come out. Of course, there aren’t many holes in the Jets through two games, so why not go after Jets fans? “No longer would Jets Fan have to comfort himself with a 24-ounce draft and a chili-covered knish, although he certainly left that option open. The team’s fortunes were on the upswing. Joy to the %$#@! world.” [NBC]

Interesting… (strokes chin)

September 25th, 2009 at 12:36 PM
I don’t get it.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:36 PM
eat it, jets fans. enjoy the hatred.
no sympathy for you.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:37 PM
Welcome to the sports world in 2009. Everybody sucks and every fan base is annoying.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:37 PM
If there’s one thing the media despises it’s when a team from New York does well.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:39 PM
It’s still difficult for me to get past the fact they’re called the Jets.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:40 PM
“Chili covered knish”? Sounds awful.
What is this even about?! This guy can suck my cock, seriously. He obviously knows a lot about Jets history because he mentions Weeb Eubank!!111!#@$$11
Go slurp him already.
Why is this guy so against Jets fans? Did they beat him up when he was growing up? His photo has that tough guy face, so I guess he is a badass by “putting RexRyan in his place.” What a fucking hack. God forbid we get excited after two fucking games. Hey chief, we just beat out biggest rival at home, and our defense looked awesome against your boyfriend. When can we start celebrating, according to you oh powerful one?
This whole article is just a fat pile of smug. Ruined my day.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:40 PM
At least they’re talking about you.
Drew Brees and the Saints are off to the greatest scoring start in NFL history, and the MSM’s Story of the Week is “God, Jets Fans Suck, Don’t They?”
You have no idea how annoying that is.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:41 PM
Don’t forget arrogant loudmouth fat ass coaches who look like their natural setting is in the 300 levels w/o a shirt drunk off Red Dog and a face covered in sausages and mustard.

Taking Titans moneyline this weekend
September 25th, 2009 at 12:43 PM
I know, asshat, Ryan should just say “Hey, we suck!” after the two games. God forbid Shaun Ellis says they back up Kerry Rhodes. A teammate standing up for a teammate?! WHAT AN ASSHOLE!
Could’ve fooled me on all counts, asshole. It definitely seems to have bothered you because you wrote a long ass article about it.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:43 PM
they fucked his dog and kicked his sister…or something like that.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:43 PM
I can’t wait for Sanchez’s first 3 INT game. God, it’ll be great.
I don’t even hate the Jets. I like Rex Ryan. I like the attitude and swagger. I wanted the Lions to take Sanchez over Stafford.
What I hate is this out of leftfield media lovefest for the team.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:44 PM
Can’t help but pile on…this morning, listening to FAN, back-to-back callers proclaimed: 1) Rex Ryan is a better coach than Jeff Fisher and that the Jets would go 12-4 and win the Super Bowl and; 2) The Jets have the potential to go 16-0.
/can’t wait for fans to jump off the bridge after the first loss.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:44 PM
In other Jets news, I read somewhere that Sanchez is listed this week with a knee injury.
Maybe he’s more like Namath than we initially gave him credit for.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:44 PM
Go Titans!
September 25th, 2009 at 12:45 PM
Yes, sadly, this does seem to be the tone.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:45 PM
Only Mr. Olympia contestants can be coaches in the NFL. This has been proven many times before.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:45 PM
they fucked his dog and kicked his sister…or something like that.
As an encore they fucked his mom while pouring sugar in his gas pipe.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:45 PM
/accurate’d
September 25th, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Because in the “national” sports media, “fair and balanced” means “Yankees and Mets,” or in this case “Giants and Jets.”

September 25th, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Actually, you can get used to having people take shots at your team’s fanbase after awhile.

September 25th, 2009 at 12:47 PM
I have no delusions of grandeur, but jesus Christ let me have some fucking time to enjoy a teams success without trying to tell me why they’re shit. Let them lose next week then you can go back to giving Tom Brady hand jobs.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:48 PM
would have also accepted this.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:49 PM
its been 2 games can we a wait a little bit until we crown sanchez the prototype and the jizz super bowl champs?
September 25th, 2009 at 12:50 PM
I don’t think Sanchez is that great so far. But god damn it, take it down a notch, asshole. That article could not have been more about Loving the patriots.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:50 PM
I will give them this–they are more legit than Ole Miss.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:51 PM
Jets fans were always mocked. The difference now is that people are listening due to the hype. I’ve never met a Jets fan that wasn’t a total douchebag.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:52 PM
WHO IS SAYING THE JETS ARE CHAMPS?! NO ONE!
We just beat our rival. I’m no in NY so I dont have to listen to the media there. We’re 2-0. I’m not saying we’re AFC Championship bound.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:52 PM
I’m just pissed because this Sanchez guy is obviously taking a job away from a ‘Merican.

September 25th, 2009 at 12:52 PM
your move, TBL.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:52 PM
Go fuck yourself.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:55 PM
Fixed, because there are a few Jets fans at my office who remember 1969 and are incredibly humble.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:56 PM
GSG: you realize most of the hate is coming from the fans of the rivals you just beat. at least that’s my case. i hate the jets on principle.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:56 PM
touche sir.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:56 PM
San Francisco is 2-0 and sort-of out of left field. Has anyone in the media written an article about them? One?
September 25th, 2009 at 12:57 PM
The same type of fans as the people in Boston complaining about Buchholz.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:57 PM
never heard of them
/east coast bias’d
September 25th, 2009 at 12:57 PM
I don’t remember the Jets being good enough to hate. That includes the present day.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:58 PM
Yea, all Jets fans are douchebags. Thankfully we can all look towards Cowboys fans, Giants fans, Patriots fans, Raiders fans, Redskins fans, Browns fans, Steelers fans, Chargers fans and Bears fans that never act up. Nope. Just Jets fans. We’re the only fans that get excited for a team that beat its rival.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:59 PM
Crabtree is holding out!
September 25th, 2009 at 12:59 PM
I’m sorry, thanks to Hernia I am now going to think of West Side Story every time I think of the Jets. Can Sanchez snap his fingers? And shouldn’t he be a Shark?
September 25th, 2009 at 1:00 PM
Browns fans….We’re the only fans that get excited for a team that beat its rival.
The Browns never beat anyone, so your argument is void.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:00 PM
disagree thought ole miss would lose by 2 tds. they are better than expected.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:00 PM
I say let them have their day, we all know it won’t last.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:00 PM
Maybe this is the future that could have been if Tony and Maria had only been allowed to be together.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:01 PM
Man, God knows as a Jets fan I’ve had nothing to fucking root for for that long, and when I did it lasted a year or two. I hate when any team of mine gets hyped, but for fucks sake let them have a week before you act like it’s the same as Yanks-Red Sox.
WHere the hell is TBL to back me up? Im on a fucking island here.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:01 PM
but the high road is so high and not as fun…
September 25th, 2009 at 1:01 PM
I wonder if this GreatShatner guy is a J-E-T-S fan
September 25th, 2009 at 1:01 PM
Remember when people hated the Rams? Those were the days.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:01 PM
Shatner, calm down. You sound like Jersey talking about ND.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:02 PM
Ha, very true. Well done.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:03 PM
I had to get that out. Congrats to all of you that batted the flames.
Irish, you’re one to talk man, ha. If I was to say some shit about the Magic.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:03 PM
you wouldnt dare
September 25th, 2009 at 1:06 PM
You don’t cross the Shamrock.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:06 PM
nah, I’m good now. Just wish TBL would’ve backed up any point I had. I think I had points…didn’t I? All that fake yelling made me even more tired.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:06 PM
The Jets are the Ole Miss of the NFL.
/ducks.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:11 PM
TBL knows they are not defensible.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:12 PM
If I was to say some shit about the Magic
I hate Magic Johnson. go right ahead and talk shit
September 25th, 2009 at 1:13 PM
I imagine this is what it’ll be like if the fucking Knicks ever win 2 games in a row.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:14 PM
Dammit, Jay beat me to the Ole Miss line by 30 comments.
/hangs head in shame.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:17 PM
Knicks suck. I can’t defend them at all. Attack away, junior.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:44 PM
Crabtree is holding out!
I will be glad when this situation gets sorted out.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:49 PM
Jets fans are douchebags. That said, it’s completely inappropriate for a sportswriter to take shots at fans for anything other than cheering an injury or throwing things. Incidentally, Jets fans have done both (not to mention the “Gate D” thing), but instead this guy bashes them for…being excited about a surprisingly good start? Blow me, Ventre.

See, I was gonna say that San Fran is getting more than their share of slobber, mostly because of the ready-made storyline: Noted Hall of Fame Tough Guy Disciplinarian Mike Singletary Instills Toughness Into Underachieving Niners.
Christ, they are all over the damn place. Sports Illustrated has a feature on ‘em in the magazine this week. Their players are making allusions to “Remember the Titans.” They’re hardly flying under the radar.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:59 PM
What a well written article. I wish I would have been around to properly convey my deep hatred for the NJ Jets and their fanbase. That is all.
September 25th, 2009 at 2:03 PM

Doesn’t count. They’re not an East Coast team. They’ve honestly earned every bit of that coverage, and then some.
