I agree with that. I was eye-opening to sit in my living room and root for the Jets. Like a character in a novel, for one moment I changed places with one of them. And they have my sympathy. Botched extra point attempts, foolish game management decisions, and a front office decision to bring in an expensive, over-the-hill QB who finished the season (and likely, his career) with something like 1 TD pass and 10 picks in his last 4 games - it was excruciating to root for that team. Unfortunately for Jets fans, this was more their historical norm for them than the few good years they had under Parcells.
BTW, I would never condemn all the fans of any team. While as a group Jets fans (and New Yorkers in general) seem to be louder and pushier than the average American, like any group they are comprised of a variety of individuals - some nice, some not nice at all. And now that Mangini is gone, there will be a little less about their franchise to hate. Of course, given the history of these two teams going back to Parcells dumping Bob Kraft in favor of Leon Hess, and continuing through BB's returning the favor, Mangini's departure from New England under a stench of treason, all the way up through Spygate, yesterday's game and this morning's results, it seems like there will always be SOMETHING foul going on between these two teams.
