My other sporting love, Manchester City, share the same tendency to shoot themselves in both feet. In 2001 we signed Christian Negouai from a Belgian club for what seemed a lot of money at the time. He arrived with a serious injury, so we paid him a fortune to sit on his backside for a year. Eventually, he made his debut and was almost immediately sent off for serious violence against an opponent. He never played for us again. He was the first ever top level footballer to be dismissed on his debut. At least big Tim played a few games before finding God. And I've always had a soft spot for running quarterbacks. But who would have guessed he would turn out so strange? Got the Tebow jersey really cheap off Ebay. Not apparently a collector's item...
Hi Brook, some doubt we'll be over before Christmas but hope the virus is beaten by the new year. So we'll just have to make the playoffs then. Hope you and the family are well
City fan also mate You forgot to tell them he scored but really he had punched it in with his hand A good read on his short career https://bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/Fans/ForwardWithNegouai.aspx
Hahaha... yes, can't say there has been many high points since ive been following the Jets but I guess that'll make it more special when (if) they have a successful season.
Lee Peacock the absolute worst signing ever. He was shit for my hometown team and was devastated when City paid 600k for the useless lump of shit.
Hey Jet brothers. Hope everyone is doing well during these crazy times. Been a fan since near the beginning which means I'm old but still hopeful. Haven't participated in forums in a while but thought it might be time. Willing to debate but will never go dark side on anyone's opinion. Live in beautiful Cary, NC. but born in Brooklyn... I like the direction with Douglas (actually like any GM who believes in the importance of the offensive line), not sure on Gase and will reserve judgement on Darnold till after this year. Best moment - that answer should be obvious. Worst moment - 1969 Division Championship losing to Chiefs, The mud bowl in Miami 1983 and 1999 loss to the Broncos (still remember Byers fumble, UGH!). Love the draft and follow it religiously. I'm desperately hoping for one of the big four OT's. Unless we figure out a way to protect Darnold it won't matter who he has to throw to. Thanks for having me and I look forward to participating. Mike
Welcome, Mike! I look forward to reading your posts. Sounds like we're about the same age. I became a Jets fan with the drafting of Joe Willie Namath in '65. I'm a NC native (High Point), but lived in NYC/Brooklyn from '86 to early 2002. I live in Winston-Salem now. I have a niece and a couple of friends who live in Cary, and my sister in Wilmington.
Hi,I'm from Lancashire in England and love American sports,Jets,Mets and Knicks fan. I have a slightly unhealthy passion for watching sport but do spend some time with the wife and kids......from time to time.Other sports I watch over here are football(Burnley FC season ticket holder),rugby league(attend occasional Wigan Warrior games) and cricket. Follow NFL mainly through sky sports and have been a Jets fan for 12 years. So hello all
Hi Brian here from Dix Hills Long Island. Have been bleeding green since I was 10 when Joe Willie did it !! Left NY when I was 21 and now living in Raleigh NC.
