    My father and my uncle took me to a game at Shea and Joe Namath threw a touchdown pass. This was sometime AFTER they won the Superbowl. I was forever hooked.

    Sorry TGG members, I didn't realize this was an old thread. I guess I'm really getting old!

    I'm a Jets fan from England, and was aware of the game as a kid but had little knowledge of it. I was about 10 years old when the Flash Gordon film came out, and remember he introduced himself as "quarterback, New York Jets". I thought this was a made up team name, like Melchester Rovers soccer team in the Roy Of The Rovers comic.

    A couple of years later, Channel 4 in the UK started a weekly highlight show on Sunday afternoons, and I loved it. One of the earliest games I saw was the Jets shootout win over the Dolphins and I was amazed that the team mentioned in Flash Gordon was actually a real team. So naturally they became my team

    I keep asking myself that very same question just prior to the start of the NFL season each year, and each and every week during football season. LOL

    I guess that would mean that some bitter woman from CMAN's past is going to eventually do him in. Be careful, CMAN.

    My both sons dumped the Jets and became Giants fans. Count your blessings. At least he went with Seahawks.

    A Pats fan who is also a Jets fan. This is his true story. Please read this before you attack him again. He is genuine. Now that Brady is gone and Pats are back to no man's land, he can focus on Jets more.

    You are an asshole, jeto. You were banned for once and you decided to dump TGG. Fuck you.

    How/Why did you become a Jets fan?

    After every loss I find myself asking the same question.

    Why Oh Why did I become a jet fan... Mostly because I thought the AFL had better teams and when they drafted Joe, that was it for me.

    Early 80s. It’s what my dad had on every Sunday, so I guess it just happened. Kind of like stepping on a nail. It was just there and it happened.

    She attacked a poor soul. I asked for advice to Admins, she deserved a 1 week ban. I banned her 1 week and her highness thought she is the left nut of the Emperor and went to another Jets board. I hate people who are full of themselves.

    Cmon jeto. If it was the exchange I think it was (politics), you were a one week marder. A lot cheered your attack lol. But rules are rules.

    I miss her dearly. I hope she reads this and she comes back. But if she doesn't then fuck her highness.
