They have worn me down. I don’t have any more interest in watching this team. Life is too short to spend even a couple of hours a week with this franchise. Mortgaging the future on Aaron Rogers has left us right back where we’ve been for decades. Rebuilding. Again. Fuck. This. Shit.
Ahh don’t give up.
If you don’t want to watch any more games this season, or ever, it’s your prerogative.
But consider this first. In 1996, the New York Jets fielded one of the worst teams in NFL history. The discourse surrounding it was even more toxic than this one (if you could believe it).
But here’s the thing, there were some incredible young pieces on that defense. A lot like what we have now. Within a few short years we became one of the premier teams in the AFC, and a bad second half away from going to the Super Bowl in 1998. Watching that team grow, and fight through all of the adversity, was one of the most satisfying sports experiences of my lifetime.
I really want the younger fans to know what it’s like to see the Jets win big games (not sure if you’re a younger fan or anything, and I’m not trying to sound condescending, just saying). When they play at a high level, it’s like nothing else in New York sports because it’s just so exciting and unique. People aren’t prepared for it lol. It’s a great feeling.
Do as you wish, but remember, when the Jets do get back into contention and start getting even with the league, it’s as satisfying as it is fun to watch.
