Started watching Sopranos for the first time last month. Today I saw Tony Soprano and his crew in Jets jersey. Googled it and found out that James Gandolfini is in fact a true Jets fan. How about rest of the crew? This is the picture I am talking about? Are these guys real Jet fans in real life?
Gandolfini has been dead for about a decade now. Yes he was a big Jets fan as were several of the writers on the show. They invented the Mangenious tag for Eric Mangini and had Tony use it on the show. Then it went to Mangini's head and his coaching went way down in 2007 as the Jets suffered a bunch of injuries. I was huge Gandolfini fan. Very unhappy when he passed prematurely.
It's gonna be season 7 I think. The one airing in 2006. Might be the last season but I think it is season 7.
