Thu, 30 Mar 2006 13:49:45 -0800
The Associated Press reports the New York Jets have selected Florham Park, N.J., as their site for a new training facility and corporate headquarters. The move is expected to generate more than $10 million each year in new taxes for New Jersey, according to the Jets.

I guess they couldn't find a big enough pile of **** in Queens to demolish... god knows they had about 500 different sites to choose from.

The fact that this team continually creates revenue for Jersey, yet is labeled a New York team, is beyond me.

I'm calling them the Jersey Jets from this day forward, and may actually even start selling merchandise.

You and your Jersey friends should demand the team name be officially changed to the Jersey Jets.

It's because everything in the tri-state area has to be claimed as "NYC"...

City folk bash Jersey to no end... but when something that is suppossedly "New York" sits on their property it's all good. Bad mouth and treat everyone like crap until you need something, then they're your best friend.

Typical practice in these parts.

I know, but I hate the Jets so much...Seems like too much effort.

You don't have to pay taxes- it says Jersey gets the tax revenue from the team.

Everything in NJ is generated by revenue from NY.

Except the "Gardens"

Kind of like what the US does for Canada.

The New York refers to the city not the state just like Washington's team refers to the city even though they are no longer in the city.

You can say a lot of things about my adopted home but NEVER compare us to Canada.

Because there is enough toxic waste in NJ why associate the jets with it as well
