Which side do you want to be on?

Here is a hard and painful truth: the current Jets crowd is slightly
different pre PSL/Met Life Stadium ... and in that crowd is a spirit
unafraid to want to win at all costs ...

And so you old cowardly folks like Grinch - who can only muster up his
inner Jets fire and belief when his son witnesses a great comeback win
last yr v Houston - ya'll are dying your natural deaths, and i thank
god for it.

It's one thing do die as an old Jet which some day I will ... it's
another thing to drag the rest of us done with your FEAR and
negativity ...

This is a NEW DAY and we want JETS WHO BELIEVE COME WHAT MAY ...

Alas I think too many folks in here are just too beaten down and
fearful to join the fun.

Keep in mind: you old beaten-down negative cowards do not own this
group. You're like dead weight darkening the current Jets light. And
we are taking over this group slowly but surely.

I for one will stand for a new outlook. I cherish this group too much.

This should be interesting.

FWIW, I consider myself one of the young breed. I've only been following
the Jets since the 1980's.

><Intolerant diatribe deleted>

I am weary of your perpetual sanctimony, as well as your personal
attacks on posters whose opinions are different from yours. I come here
for thoughtful analysis of a team that I have followed since before you
were born, sprinkled with some good natured humor. You offer neither of
those things, but simply more of the same mindless cheerleading which
you have been posting here for years, and which has become mean-spirited
and abusive.

Back in my younger days, when the Vietnam War was tearing this country
apart, some of the yahoos who were intellectually unable to muster a
cogent response to those who were protesting against the war would
express themselves instead with what I like to call Bumper Sticker
Mentality, and one of the most common examples of that was the pompous
pronouncement, "America, Love It or Leave It." Your dictum concerning
those of us who have honest criticisms of the Jets is very much in the
same vein.

Your hubris concerning the Jets and this newsgroup has now become a
waste of bandwidth, not to mention my time. Your arrogance in assuming
that you have any right whatsoever to decide who is a "real" Jets fan
and who is not, who belongs in this newsgroup and who does not, is
staggering.

My patience with your childish antics has reached the breaking point,
and so I am forced into an action which I don't take lightly. You are
henceforth relegated to the Bozo Bin. Say hello to RavNsfan when you get
there.

Life, take your meds. You sound nuts.

1) Fans have no impact other than teams who have real fans who can
afford tickets and attend games giving their teams some home field
advantages.

2) NG flourish when fans with different perspectives, histories, and
skills discuss issues until a truth is fleshed out. I don't want to read
a bunch of band wagon jumpers who have no memory, history or ability to
see what is both wrong and right with a team good enough to compete but
not good enough to win in 42 years.

3) Anyone who is lauding a team that has not won or even played in a SB
in 42 years is drinking too much of the kool aid. It was great to be in
two AFC Championship games. It is not winning the big dance as multiple
teams have done multiple times since we last one. The Jints, Steelers,
Cowboys, 49ers, and Pats have each won 3 SB since we last played in one.
The Raiders, Broncos, Colts, Green Bay, and Foreskins have each won 2.
And, this is shorting Green Bay who have won 4 SB since it started.

Lets win one before we spout off about how good a team we have

I used to like you, your youthful and blind loyalty were fun to read. Now
you've gone over the top, and sound like a real nutcase. You probably won’t
even read any of this but I'll give it a try. IT'S JUST A GAME, played by
spoiled millionaires. WE ARE JUST FANS, hoping our team wins. It makes
absolutely no difference what we say or do. We're here to have fun.
