I don't know where the OTHER is coming from -- Westchester ? Rockland ? -- but I am surprised Long Island isn't bigger.
Denver, CO. Going to the Jets game in Denver this year is probably the worst memory I've had here since I moved. Grew up in NJ.
Already did, it's called Jet fans: What are your roots? It's more based on where we come from rather than where we live, I also bumped up the thread of the Mets/Jets thing being a myth.
Much less of a troll than you get credit for. There are posters here that claim to be Jets fans that make you look like a hardcore, football-only poster. Though you do have your moments.
I put queens because that's where I was born And lived until 2002. Live in Texas now because this is where I was stationed.
Question. How many people in your life, who root for the Jets, have told you that they post on internet message boards? Anytime I go back east, I really stop posting, because I can talk to anybody about the Jets.. Forums like this were built for long distance fans.
When I last posted on this thread a few years ago I was living in Miami,FL., I since returned to the tri-state area by way of Fort Lee, New Jersey.
Was from Long Island , Now florida , Still a jet fan, But now I have to pay to watch them. That makes crappy years allot harder.
To answer your question first, zero. However, I live back east and although I have a handful of friends who are also Jets fans, we usually don't hang out and talk Jets unless we're out watching a game together. Also, talking to a couple of buddies about the team is a totally different thing than TGG where I can converse with thousands of Jets fans, some of whom have a very in-depth knowledge of the game, find all kinds of news, articles, talk shit to rival fans, etc. So, while it might be a lot easier to find a fellow Jet fan to talk to if you live near NYC, I don't see why, if you're a fan who's interested in keeping up with the ins and outs of what's happening with the team, that would keep you from going on a Jets message board to do so. So anyway, I get your point, and it probably has validity, but I'm still surprised that NYC isn't better represented on TGG.
Recently moved from Jersey to DC. I rep the Jets proudly here. You think we have it bad here with a disappointing season? I'll take what we have any day over the Skins. From talking to people, it's been doom and gloom here for 20+ years. Not just talking about championships, but actual exciting seasons.
live in hempstead NY from 1973 till 1986 then move to ATL Georgia ....back in thoses days my buddys and i would ride our bikes to hofstra and try to get a glimpse of joe willie
