    The Jets Just Became MY #2 Team

    We've often bantered about teams we hate and teams we like that are not named Packers and play in the NFL.

    I have always struggled to really pull for a team not named Packers. Shit, it took me close to 40 years to find my true NFL love.

    (For those newb's who don't know about Tarlam!: I am an Aussie and Aussies LOVE all sports. I took to the NFL as a 10 year old, but I could never figure out what team to root for. Then, when I was close to 40, SC Johnson purchased the company Î worked for. I had found my NFL home. I was ecstatic the more I learned about #4 and the Packers).

    As hard as my choice for #1 was, my choice for #2 was made easy. I read the forums from the Jets fans and how they feel they just collectively won the Power ball lottery! I like those fans! I like that Favre still has some Green in his new team. i like they are AFC. I hope they kick Brady's ASS!!!!

    I have my second favourite team.

    Thoughts?

    PS: This is the 1st Favre thread I have started, so fuck off if you want to chastise me for starting a new thread.

      It'll take the spotlight away from Green Bay till kickoff which is good; Broadway Brett will get the attention alright.

        I'll be rooting for the J-E-T-S while #4 plays for them.

          I already hate the Patriots, so having Brett play them twice a year with a chance to beat their cheating asses is fine with me.

            I want that 2nd round pick, so go Jets. Other than that, I don't really give a damn about anyone but the Packers.

            While the killers in high places
            Say their prayers out loud
            But they've summoned, they've summoned up

              The Jets are my #2 favorite team on draft day.

              I love the way they boo the beejeezus out of stupid picks--and historically they're almost always stupid picks.

              And---there is the cute little backstory of how Atlanta picked Favre before Ron Wolf could get him when he GMed for the Jets back in '91 or whatever it was. So Brett ends up where he was wanted most of all first of all.

                Ditto

                Hate the Patriots already. Always respected the Jets and liked them as my second fave team.

                Works out perfect.

                  Jets are now my favorite AFC team but that wasn't too hard as I didn't have a favorite before yesterday.

                      Yeah, it's all about the Packers. If it takes the Jets in the Super Bowl to upgrade the Packers draft pick, fine, I'm for it. Otherwise, let them lose lose lose. That way the pick comes earlier in the whatever round it is. .

                        Obviously on Sundays I always tune into Fox, which carried the NFC mostly, but I never paid much attention to what AFC team was playing on CBS.

                        Do you think that WI will be carrying the Jets games on CBS this year? I mean, there really isn't an AFC team that is "local" for us, so wouldn't they think by carrying the Jets games in WI it would be good for market share and good advertising opportunities?

                          Depends. I've always thought they decide the non-local games in two tiers.

                          1. Huge National Matchup (Equivalent of Cowboys v. Patriots)

                          2. Closest team to market (If you lived in Green Bay and the Bears were playing @ Indianapolis you'd get that game since Chicago is the closest city with a football team to GB)


                          But who knows? Maybe they will decide that playing the Jets would bring in bigger ratings and they'll change the system.

                            If the Jets don't make the playoffs, the highest that pick could be is in the 3rd round. I'm still hoping for the Jets to be in the Super Bowl, but that isn't going to happen. Not in thier division, not in thier conference. But I do see them making the playoffs, and of course I see Favre taking at least 70% of the snaps. I'm hoping that this draft pick turns into the #55-#60 overall pick, so I will cheer for Brett Favre and the Jets to win just as I have cheered Brett Favre and the Packers.

                            The Jets winning or losing has no ramafication on the Packers chances at the Super Bowl, which is the only place they could even meet each other this year in the first place. You can cheer for them to win win win and it doesn't mean you are any less a Packer fan. Given the conditions of this trade, it would make you even more a Packer fan. This is an even bigger win than I anticipated, because if anything this should help once again unify Packer fans. Everybody should be rooting for the Packers. Because of the conditions of the trade, we should ALL be Brett Favre and New York Jets fans on top of it.

                              I've always disliked the Jets. When I was young, my second favorite team was the Colts and SB3 was tough to swallow. But now, go Gang Green I guess.
