So, what would we do if the Jets started winning?
It is time for a lesson in metaphysics.
The Jets have what are called both an "essence" and an "appearance". Their essence is timeless and knowable by reason, the appearance is manifest to the senses and subject to change. While the world of appearance is governed by essence, essence and appearance do not always correspond.
In essence, the Jets suck -- once, now and always. There are times, it is true, when it is not apparent how much they suck or even that they suck at all. They may manifest qualities which are individually good but which, in the absence of other good qualities, become bad. But, just as intelligence in a criminal becomes vicious cunning, so virtues of combativeness and collective spirit become vices when in the service of a cause that is without goodness.
Take a performance like the Jets beating Miami at the end of last season. Miami could have gone to the play-offs yet the Jets had nothing to play for. In those circumstances the Jets manifested team spirit and the will to win. They won a meaningless game and celebrated by giving their coach a Gatorade shower. In this way, they showed clearly to the light of reason the discrepancy between their essence (to suck) and their appearance (qualities that would be signs of not sucking in other circumstances).
Could the Jets change their essence?
It is said that the ship sailed by Theseus was rebuilt and repaired so much that not a single piece of wood remained from the original. But it was still the same ship. Or was it?
If the Jets changed their players, their coach, their GM, their owner, their fans (oh yes, their fans!) and moved from New Jersey might they cease to suck? But would they still be the Jets?
Some questions are too deep for mere mortal understanding.
