The Jets suck (merged)

[Mike the Brit]

Philosophers Answer the Question: Why Do the Jets Suck?

I was thinking,in philosophical terms, why DO the Jets suck?

Plato

SOCRATES: I think that we can say then that either the Jets suck or they do not.
GLAUCON: Very true, Socrates.
SOCRATES: But if they do not suck then they would share in what is truly good.
GLAUCON: No doubt, Socrates.
SOCRATES: But those who share in what is truly good are just and submit to the will of the gods with courage and cheerfulness.
GLAUCON: Oh indeed, Socrates.
SOCRATES: And yet the Jets whine and scream at the smallest misfortune like the fish-sellers in the Piraeus, so surely we must conclude that they suck.
GLAUCON: Wow, Socrates -- you nailed it again! How do you do it?

Descartes

For it is given to me to know by an inner light that what I think clearly and distinctly is true and, just as I cannot think that there is anything that both exists and is not, so it is evidently impossible for the Jets not to suck.


Hume

The metaphysicians say that the Jets may not suck yet these are but idle speculations. For what plain man does not see for himself every day that the Jets suck and where all the evidence of our senses speaks for something why should I listen to the philosopher who would try to persuade me that the voice of nature herself would deceive me?

Kant

I can conceive of a world in which the Jets do not suck yet I cannot possibly will that such a world exists.


Hegel

It is the labour of Spirit that it must lose itself and undergo the agony of destruction, blindness and alienation from itself. Therefore the Jets must suck if Spirit is to bring itself to knowledge of itself as it is in and for itself.

Wittgenstein

"The Jets suck" is not a statement about the world but a grammatical rule.

I also believe there are metaphysical/karmic reasons for the Green Beans sucking. There is some kind of bizarre negative energy vortex over the Meadowlands that dimensionally excludes the Giants, resonating only with the Beans, their organization and fan base. There is no other way to adequately describe 39 years of futility and the ongoing convergence of such pathetic examples of "humanity," in all respects.

etc. etc. etc.

Wicked pissah post! I'd say that just about nails it.
We have a consensus of the great minds covering hundreds, no thousands of years that the Jets truly do suck.

I was thinking of past NFL players and it occurs to me that Gastineau was a better pass rusher then the Pats have ever had and that Klecko deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. And of course Joe Namath is God like.

Mark Sanchez is a better worker then Brady.

Braylon will not be suspended.

Jets have the best uniforms in the NFL.

Belicheck has lost the fire.

Jets have more coaches.

Mangini did nothing wrong.

Randy Moss and Sean Ellis will be on different teams next year.

DBrick is better then Light.

It's a beautiful morning, birds are chirping, 70 degrees and sunny.

I should clean the garage and wash the van.

the best uniforms? Really? lol

 

[Mike the Brit]

^^^^^

Of those thoughts only

Roger Goodell will help the Jets every chance he gets

seems remotely plausible to me.

But have a nice day!

What's any of this got to do with the Green Beans sucking? Or the fact they look like green beans in those hideous uniforms? Or news that the Jolly Green Giant disowned them many years ago because they suck?

 

[Gunnails]

The thing is that after reading all 1100 posts in this thread I am not convinced.

Although there may be 2 or 3 things about the Jets that suck. All in all the Jets are far from being sucky.

Confucious says in green all things are better.

Well, if the combined wisdom of the world's greatest minds won't do it, I'm not sure if we can help, but the sentence above does represent some kind of progress. Still, I'm worried if you don't think that the uniforms are one of them. Next you'll be telling us that you can see the point of Fireman Ed.

=================================================

I am not sure what the point of Fireman ED is, but I will say that I have met him and that he is a good guy.

I am not sure why he gets so much grief. I think most that don't like him are just jealous.

His very existance has stimulated many to a life of crime as pyromaniacs

 

[Kontradiction]

And of course Joe Namath is God like.

Maybe with Vegas bookies but in the NFL hierarchy, he's extremely overrated.

Mark Sanchez is a better worker then Brady.

If it takes hard work to stare your receivers down and throw costly interceptions then you may have a point.

Braylon will not be suspended.

His hands will still be absent, though, so it's all good.

Jets have the best uniforms in the NFL.

If you're a fan of puke green.

Belicheck has lost the fire.

I thought that was Brady.

Jets have more coaches.

More coaches that suck, if we're being consistent with the thread.

Mangini did nothing wrong.

Well, he admitted taping us as well as ratting out a colleague. I would say he's a pretty giant scumbag.

Randy Moss and Sean Ellis will be on different teams next year.

I'm afraid you're probably right.

DBrick is better then Light.

We'll see if his weaknesses were marginalized with Faneca this year because, to be honest, he looked like a giant bust before Faneca came along.

It's a beautiful morning, birds are chirping, 70 degrees and sunny.

It's a beautiful afternoon, birds are chirping, and it's 93 degrees and sunny here.

I should clean the garage and wash the van.

You'll probably procrastinate, though.

Thanks indeed!

Makes me feel that I may be getting to be a bit Bostonian. :eat3:

haha

Namath won the biggest game in NFL history and he's overrated.

He also played in a completely different era, so it's hard comparing him to the QBs of today by means of statistics.

Yet on his worst day, he's better than wannabe QB Sanchez.
Loved watching the SB win against the Colts.

No ****. He's a hall of famer, Sanchez was a rookie. :bricks:

A horrid rookie that showed no signs of being the godsend that Jest fans make him out to be.

Exactly. At this time last year, we were being lectured about how Sanchez was going to light it up. He sure did light it up, alright. He lit up the opposing defense's stat sheet like there was no tomorrow.
