Jealousy is a horrible thing
Jealousy of what? 2 AFC Championship appearances in a row and 1 SB 0ver 40 years ago. Yeah, I'm just green with envy.

Amen to that. Best case scenario for me is for the Jets to win next week, and then go down two weeks later to (hopefully) Green Bay - because Chicago's not winning it all, I just don't see it.
My reasoning? I don't think the Jets could beat the Packers, but I think the Steelers could, and I don't want to listen to all the Steelers fans talk about how Roethlisberger is as good of a quarterback as Brady because he has three rings. We have enough nonsense to deal with in here from other fans...believe me, no one needs to listen to that
But should New York win and the Bears end up going...it will be a long offseason here - because as I said I don't see the Bears beating either of the teams playing for the AFC next Sunday.
I would rather deal with the Big Ben comparisons than the Jets even sniffing the SB anyday, anyhow.

I want them OUT. OUT OUT DAMN GREEN SPOT,OUT
:yeahthat: Plus there are no guarantees the Steelers beat GB, Ben can be so unpredictable. I hope the Steelers play like crap but still manage to chew up the beans and send them home. I don't want the Jets to gain one more inch. That way all they can say is that they beat the Pats, I don't want to see them go on some March To Glory, win or lose. I don't even want then to have another chance, I want them OUT. OUT OUT DAMN GREEN SPOT,OUT
Who would have thought the Jets to have had so much **** in them?
I'm thinking big picture in the event I have the patience to keep doing this for 10 more years. The Brady vs. Roethlisberger threads would be unbearable - and again, the argument wouldn't be able to be thrown out, because unless Brady grabs one more ring they would forever be linked with that similarity.
So that's my reasoning
The Green Beans epitomize the latest brand of nasty "in-your-face" unsportsmanlike behavior sweeping modern sports. Their fans buy into it as well. It probably would take a sports sociologist to explain this stuff, but the intentional blurring of lines between "personal" and the game itself by people like fat Wrecks just makes things worse. It takes some joy from the experience even when you win, because there's always someone sitting nearby or on the Internet who wants to rain on your parade instead of extend congratulations. It's easy to get caught up in from both sides.
But when a team like New Jersey lips off and rubs it in (re., Bart Scott's moronic rant), it really makes them look and sound like low-lifes. I'd hate for any Patriot players to act like that. Being a Green Beans fan with any level of personal dignity certainly requires some blind eyes/deaf ears to that sort of crap, or the ability to rationalize on a cosmic level.
I will say that there are a few teams whose organizations and fans I respect. Pittsburgh, N.Y. Giants, Green Bay and Seattle are a few. I really hope the Steelers rub out New Jersey next week.
Another shining illustration of my point above.

Be careful how you use the pronoun "we", because when Brady was involved in his auto accident in September, Jets message boards had posts celebrating not only his possible injury, but his death. Look it up.I love all off of you wish harm to us. You say we are classless? Look in the mirror.
We beat you, we celebrated, you would have done the same. But not once did we wish harm on a human being.

You can't expect fans of an organization that hasn't won anything since the days of Nixon to actually know how to win with class. That's the reason why everybody outside of New York hates the Jets.
Glad to see you are confident that the Jets will lose to the Steelers just like you were confident your team would demolish them yesterday. Seems to me that the Jets went into PItt a few weeks ago and beat them....stakes were high, don't fool yourself. The Jets are playing football while your team plays golf.
