Sports Gods punish Met fans for Jets' sins

[PonyExpress]

That's how I'm interpreting the Mets' mindboggling, historic late season collapse. As we know, the Met/Jet fan base is identical. Met/Jet fans: Tannenbaum brought this disaster on you. The worst is yet to come. Head for the Brooklyn Bridge.

I don't know about that assessment. Giants/Mets is a very common combination. Only masochists are Jets/Mets fans.

====================================
Tigers fan here. not all that pasionate about the Tigers though, I like the Yankees better then the Mets I like the Marineers better then the Yanks.

All I realy care about is the Jets and then the Blazers, Tigers a distant 3rd.

Long Island is the traditional fan base of the Mets/Jets. There are always a few outliers.

A standing ovation for the Sports Gods. They conspired to lay waste to the heartland of our bitter enemy today, handing the Mets the greatest collapse in baseball history, and wrecking the Jets' visions of sugar plums with a devastating defeat. I hope the Jet fans realize they are going to reap the whirlwind, unless they seek collective penitence. I suggest Mike Tannenbaum offer a tearful apology to Mr. Kraft, BB, and the Patriot organization, then commit hari-kari in Times' Square. That ought to do the trick.

I fixed your post for you.

[Love the Red Sox or hate 'em, what the Mets just did will never top the Skankee's 2004 choke job. ]

As a former NYC resident, I must disagree. I find tremendous overlap with Jet/Yankee fans...as a group, they are FAR MORE annoying than their Giants/Met counterparts. I don't think the Mets and Jets go together as tightly...

A friend of mine from NY is a Jets/Mets fan and says that's the majority. Imagine how these guys are feeling right now: just weeks ago the Mets were on their way to the division, got pedro back, and were the consensus pic for the series...and the Jets were fine and caused the pats cameragate.....what a difference a couple weeks can make! :rocker:

Well if this is the case, all it proves is that the sports gods, like all gods, have a lousy aim.

Nonsense. Despite these random contrarians, the Mets and Jets are the traditional Long Island teams, as fans who know NY sports history understand. Don't blame your own lack of historical knowledge on the Sports Gods. They may take vengeance on you and lay waste to your neighbor's house with a lightning bolt.

I don't care what happens to the Mets. If the "Sports Gods" are punishing Jets fans in this way it's a weak punishment.

Now losing to Buffalo that is awesome punishment. Jets fans are tuning on their coach, players, and their team. I hope the losing continues so it gets worst. Two weeks ago the Jets fans at Jetsinsider were obsessed teh Patriots and the "taping scandle".

Now if you go over there and read the threads it's, Mangini sucks, Chad sucks, the D-line sucks, trade Vilma, O-line sucks, OC sucks, DC Sucks. They are really eating their young over there and I love it so.

The destruction of the Mets is just step 1 in a five year plan to lay waste to this blaspheming fan base. The Jets are the prime target, and we will witness their devestation in degrees, like water torture. The plan is for the Jets to go 7-9 this season, IOT to prevent them from getting a high enough draft pick to turn around their franchise. Afterwards, all will crumble. Have faith.

I wonder who the next coach of the Green Beans will be once Tubby Ratfink is run out of town. Norv Turner should be available. Or maybe Dave Wannstedt will want another shot at the NFL. This is enough to drive Joe Namath back to the bottle.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Here in Philly, all you have heard for years was of the epic '64 Phillies collapse...It is sweet revenge. The local radio guys were calling New Yorkers this morning and asking how the Mets would do in the playoffs or how they could get Mets playoff tickets..Revenge is sweet...Ask Culpepper
Between Yankees in '04 and Mets this year.....and of course Mangini's 1-3 team..it's starting......

I'm a Mets fan and a Pats fan. What the F*** did I do to deserve this?

 

[FlyingElvis75]

Were they punishing Sox fans last year for the Patriots' sins, too? :bricks:

It will be fun to watch when Mangini gets canned, the NY media and fans will have a totally different take on videogate , and of course mangini will find out what it is like to try to get a job after having burned all his bridges. Eric, hows Div III looking?
