Sickening. I'm sick that I continually give these bastards 3 hours each Sunday. I think next year I'll devote that time to a soup kitchen or to yoga and pilates. Mangini is the worst. No heart on defense, no flow or continuity on offense. How do you have FAvre throw 31 times in a close game in this weather with 2 strong RBs and a strong line. No heart - it's on Mangini
it is dumb shit that bothers me more than anything. ive never felt this bad. when we sucked, i could always find a silver lining. but this is too much. we clowned the top team in the afc in their building. just fucking raped them. now this abortion.............
What is there to do? I'm probably one of the youngest people on this site. I haven't been a fan of this team for 20, 30, or 40 years. I'm 18, but all I know, when it comes to the NFL, is the New York Jets. I went to my first game when I was 4, and I've been hooked ever since. I've immersed myself in the team, the history, the present and future. Come to my house, and you'll see my room is Green and White. I love the Mets, and I love the Islanders. but they don't compare to my love of the Jets. Every year, my birthday present is a new Jets jersey, or tickets to a game. But this team has never done anything to reciprocate the love. I can't imagine what it's like for some of you guys who've been fans for 30 years. I mean, for me, at least, all sports have just been kicking me in the balls. The Mets in 2006, 2007, and this year. Penn State in 2005 to Michigan and this year to Iowa. The Islanders and Knicks haven't even gotten far enough to break my heart. This was supposed to be the one team that I got. The one chance to actually see that championship. When we were 8-3, I knew in my heart, the drought would be over. But now I see that this team will never accomplish anything. I can't give up on them, say "I'm done." I can't even be sad. I'm angry. I've probably done a couple hundred dollars in damage over the past half hour breaking things all over my house. How can I escape this cycle? What can I possibly do, short of winning the lottery a few times and buying the team? Why the hell am I so attached? Dammit, why did I have to pick this team?
If you have some extra cash laying around....some hookers and drugs will do the trick. Nothing else will sooth the pain. Nothing!
Don't worry, the losing gets easier with age. You get to the point where you expect it. Just keep your expectations low and you'll be fine.
I just need to get really, really drunk right now. But of course, I left Penn State where there's a nice handle of Vlady in my freezer to come home where my dad is a fucking teetotaler. Damn it, winter break came at the worst possible time.
exactly - if we were the Lions, at least we could laugh at ourselves and wear paper bags (OK, we've been there too). But this underachieving nonsense is demoralizing. And unline '99, I can't even blame the football gods. It's on Mangini. I'm beginning to hate this guy, not as much as I hated Herm, but he's just not ready.
