Well the Jets are number six in the best liked category. My suggestion is to predict the order of finish for the rest of the league or at least numbers one and thirty two and where the Giants, Dolphins, Bills and Pats show up before clicking. Keep in mind, it all is just opinion - anonymous opinion at that. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/...-rating-the-likability-of-every-nfl-franchise
Just what we need, another subjective way to rate the Jets that can swing like the executioner's axe on a slow news day...
I'm trying to come at it from an outsider and I think the Packers are the obvious choice. If a fan was brand new to NFL and started researching teams I think GB would be a leading choice. Besides that, I have no idea about the rest.
1. Green Bay Packers. 2. Pittsburgh Steelers (although Big Ben and no playoffs is messing with that some). 3. The field depending on where you live. The Cowboys used to be there but Jerry Jones has driven them down some. The Seahawks would be there if a certain CB could stop being a high profile ass. The 49ers have a coach image problem. That would be the top 5 right now if Jerry Jones wasn't past his expiration date and the media wasn't trying to sell papers and hits all the time.
obvious slo news day is obvious. (But Eff it - I'll take 6. Its better than where the team ranks usually)
I don't believe I've ever met another sentient human being that had strong feelings in any direction whatsoever about the Atlanta Falcons.
The only real Falcons fan I've ever met was my first roommate in the service in '93, he was from rural Georgia. Good guy, total hick. Other than that, I've only met bandwagon jumpers years ago wearing their brand new Vick jerseys.
I am surprised the Jets are #6. Everyone I know who isn't a Jets fan, hates the Jets. And the Jets fans I know? Hate them even more. Haha.
Really? Was Dallas ever really "America's Team" or was that just well produced advertising hype? If anything that nonsense just turned me off, but I can see how ignorant front runners may have been taken in.
Dallas was prime territory for front runners, I was stationed all over the place in the 90s when they were winning and the years that followed, you couldn't go anywhere in this country except maybe Philly and not see some turd in Cowboys gear. Jerry Jones knows how to market a winner, and for years he was able to market them when they weren't winners. Now, not so much.
In reality, most fans around the NFL hate the Jets and Steelers. And seriously. Nobody likes the Bills. But Pats at 32? Gotta love it. Whoever wrote this must be a Bills or Jets fan. Love the description too!
Really? Think of all the fun you have reading my dumbass offseason posts. What would you do without 'em??? haha you might have to leave your mom's basement!
It's the 'Yankee Syndrome'. Big market teams the generally spend their way to a title are despised. And fans love to see teams like that crash and burn. Opposite that is America's nature to root for a humble underdog. the word 'humble' is what trips the Jets up...REX AIN'T FN HUMBLE!!!! haha but I love it.
There was a time when if you lived south of Chicago and west of DC you likely had a gear wearing Cowboys fan in proximity. This was before the 90's dynasty and Jerry Jones. It was the Staubach/Doomsday Defense era. Then Jones showed up with his primary strength, which was marketing, and the hype got out of control.
