Why do you hate the Jets?

[patriots pam]

Awesome DejaBlue! Almost makes me wish I knew some Jets fans IRL so I could show it to them on Monday. ALMOST. :snob:

Come Monday Newspapers Headlines here will drop Jets like 3rd period french. Fingers will be pointing. Chants of "Same Ole Jets" Just listen to Joe Bignino on WFAN as much as he's pASSionate of Jets He RIPS them to pieces.

I may be easier to list why I like the Jets since there are far too many reasons why I hate them. Here are the reasons to like or at least feel pity for them:

1.) Their owner's name is Woody Johnson. I chuckle like a 13 year old whenever I type or say his name. I find no humor in the name Bob Kraft no matter how much I try. Winner = the Jets
2.) Kerry Rhodes gets into hilarious Twitter fights with a fake Rodney Harrison. Great drama. Rhodes looks like an idiot. Good times.
3.) They come up with great taglines and nicknames that come off ironically funny as the season goes on. Do you look at "Swaggerlicious" and "The Sanchize" the same now as you did a month or two ago? It went for a battle cry to a punch line.
4.) Woody Johnson desperately wants the Jets to be the next Patriots and no matter how he tries to shape them in the mold of the Pats, the Jets are the Same Old Jets.
5.) The The Three Stooges of NY Jets head coaches this decade. You couldn't write a better sitcom characters than Herm "You play to win the game" Edwards, Eric "Belichick Extremely Light" Mangini, and Sexy Rexy Ryan.
6.) Jets fans have to pay up to $20k for PSL to pay to see the Jets live in their new stadium. You'd think that would be what the CIA would do to terrorist suspects for free. Well, until Congress stepped in and stops them because they would deem it torture and against the Geneva Convention.
7.) Bart Scott is great. He makes an arse out of himself during the week and just after the game and disappears during the game. Plus he costs a lot of money that he hasn't even come close to earning. The perfect Jet.
8.) The Jets have never lost a game. They have either given away the win or were stolen from them because the refs were in the bag. Just ask their players.
9.) Jets fans are talking Super Bowl in August and draft order in November every year.
10.) The Jets haven't finished with a better record than the Pats since 2000. The only time they finished ahead of them in the standings during that time (2002), they won the fourth tie breaker to do so.

Because they were the loudest about Spygate and trying to get us stripped of our SB victories.

Their throwback uniforms are ugly.

For a long time I considered the Dolphins and Bills our biggest rivals, with the Jets a distant third. However from the first New Yorker I met to almost every one that I get to know now, there tends to almost always be this arrogant, conceited "everything New York is better than anything anywhere else" - in this case Boston and New England. That attitude just by itself is enough to hate any new York team and their fans.

As for the Jets, I think a big turning point was them negotiating with Parcells when he should have been preparing for the Super Bowl - followed by their signing Curtis Martin. Obviously there's been a whole lot more back and forth since.

For me personally it started a long time ago; I think it was 1966. The Patriots had a very good team back then, led by an MVP season by Jim Nance. Nance not only led the AFL in rushing; he ran for nearly double the number of yards of the next leading rusher.

The Pats had won about five in a row and headed into the final weekend of the season with a slim lead over Buffalo. The last game was against the Jets, who were headed for about the third or fourth straight five-win season. A win would put the Pats in the AFL title game against the Chiefs, who they had tied in Kansas City about a month earlier.

What made this more exciting was not just the possibility of the Pats winning their first AFL championship. Back then there were two camps of fans: AFL fans and NFL fans. And the winner of that AFL title game would get to represent the AFL in the first-ever championship game between the two leagues - something that would later come to be known as the Super Bowl.

Well, the rest is history. The Pats turned the ball over four or five times. Two Jets running backks, Matt Snell and Emerson Boozer, both ran for over 100 yards each. The Jets rookie quarterback, a guy by the name of Namath, would go down in history two years later for doing what I wanted the Pats to do - be the first AFL team to beat an NFL champion.

To make matters worse, while the Jets went on to glory, the Pats went into a tailspin of sub-mediocrity for the next ten years. The following year the Red Sox had their 'Impossible Dream' year, the Celtics kept winning, and soon after Bobby Orr and the Big Bad Bruins were the toughest ticket to find in town. The Pats were a distant also-ran in both the national and Boston sports scene from that day forward for years and years.

Even without bringing up Tubby Rex and his crew of current jesters, are those enough reasons to hate the Jets?

 

[dalero]

How can you hate on Jester fans. Their SB win was before Woodstock! Before man landed on the moon! They need a great big group hug.

 

[TennesseePatriot]

Classic. Simply classic

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

So many reasons...so little time

For me the hatred started in the 60s when the Jets beat us out of a playoff spot. Then the national media's fixation on Joe Namath while the Boston Patriots were considered a joke. The pre AFL tradition of Boston being a NY Giants fan base didn't help my attitude towards all things New York.

Once the Jets won SB III (forgive me father for I have sinned, I rooted for the AFL's representative, the Jets in that game) the fans became insufferable. Years of the Pats never even sniffing a SB appearance let the hatred fester.

Once the Internet arrived in its old USENET form, netwar broke out with the numerous Jets fans. Anybody could post in anyone's football newsgroup so flames proliferated.

The Parcells came and went, in a perfidious manner that some of us felt cost us the GB SB game and the Border wars escallated as Curtis Martin left for shall we say greener pastures.

All during these decades Jets fans with their superiority complex had dismissively dissed the Patriots, high handedly claiming that their rival was not the lowly Patsies but was the SB winning Miami Dolphins. This elitist ignorance of reality continued even after the Pats had won their 1st SB but did end after the Pats won their 2nd. Now, it's long forgotten as Jets fans, their owner, their GM and their Head Coach of the year are obsessed with all things Patriots. Life is good.

I will exact my revenge as I cheer loudly at the game Sunday in Foxboro.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

I hate the Jets because I am a decent hard-working American,

and hating the New York Jets is simply what decent hard-working Americans do.

 

[rbh24]

Same reasons why I don't like any other NY teams their fans are loud,arrogant and really dillusional.

 

[Tunescribe]

I refuse to specify in writing why I hate the Jersey Green Beans. The very act of doing so would make me puke.

 

[MaxVonDoom]

There are more reasons than grains of sands on all the beaches of the world combined with all the stars in the skies and all the chins on Rex Ryan and in a Chinese phonebook. But to name a few ....

Bill Parcells- that turkey necked arrogant scumbag who during his teams superbowl run was causing headlines and being a distraction because everyone knew he already had a deal next year with the lowly Jets, plus his disinterested job of coaching in said superbowl

Curtis Martin- the effeminate running back who hopped on Parcells jock and tried to get every Pat free agent for the next ten years to join that detestable team

Eric Fatgini- That backstabbing little two faced rat..........( I literally just had a heart attack thinking about this slime, but no fear I am checked into a very good hospital and am receiving excellent care) Where was I oh yeah the Judas, moving on...

Their creepy fans- Im looking at you Special..I mean Fireman Ed. No man has any business on another mans shoulders thats just wrong.

Sexy Rexy and his fatmouth Bart Scott and his fat mouth Revis and his delusions etc etc etc

Ps. did anyone else see the Lovely actress Annalynne Mccord on TMZ the other night screaming that she hated the Colts and that the refs screwed the Pats? That was heart warming.

 

[NJPatsfan26]

Oh the reasons go on and on.....their arrogant fans, their fat coach, being the second team in NY and thinking they are always the best. How stupid their fans are when it actually comes to football knowledge. and of course the fact that they have not done anything in over 40 years, but they feel that they always have a best chance in the world to be in contention for just the post season every year.....

 

[Mogamedogz]

It started with them negotiating with Tuna during our run in '97 (I honestly believe we lost that game for this reason).

Before then I hated the Bills much MUCH more.

 

[WhiZa]

Spygate, making O'Connell captain, the comments they make about the Pats EVERY year... They are like that annoying guy who makes fun of you to your face, but laughs afterwards so it makes it okay. Thankfully there is karma in this world, and they've deserved every they've had coming.

 

[BelizePats]

There are just so many reasons.
For me it really started with Parcells the week of the Superbowl in '96 when he was calling the Jets practice facility in Hemstead from the team hotel in New Orleans. Working on his deal to coach the Jets after the Superbowl. The Fu$%$ scumbag piece of %$% should have been banned from the NFL for life for that.
Then he steals Curtis Martin away and away we go, right on up to Mangidiot and the spygate SB.
That franchise is a joke. Their ownership and senior management are human garbage and their fans are pathetic losers.

I HATE THAT FRANCHISE WITH EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE!!!

 

[PATSNUTme]

Because they are the
