And no, that's not intended to sound like the beginning of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting....! I just wanted to reaffirm my membership in Jets Nation prior to the AFC Championship game this Sunday! As a rabid Red Sox, Celtics and (when I care about hockey) Bruins fan, I am somewhat of an odd duck in rooting for the Jets (and New York Football Giants as well). The Jets are pretty much anathema to a real New Englander. But I haven't been a Patriots fan since Steve Grogan retired, and the latest Bill Bellichick era has really turned me off to them. And not just because of the cheating ;-) (Had to get that in there!)
There is actually a lot of similarity between being a Jets fan and being a Red Sox fan (at least, prior to 2004). Like most Jets fans, I always have doubts and expect the 'same old Jets' will show up, and it's the same thing with the Sox, although certainly to a much lesser extant since 2004 and 2007. And the Jets have had the same flashes of good play, just like the Sox in '86, '88, etc. But something has always gone wrong (see Testaverde, Vinny, 1999, when the Jets were expected to contend for the championship).
So I will be watching the game on Sunday, with my Jets hoodie and Jets hat and green turtle neck!
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!
