    Jets | New facility, team headquarters to be built in New Jersey
    Thu, 30 Mar 2006 13:49:45 -0800

    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.

    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"

    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.

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

    Yo, watch it with the Jersey jokes. You just don't know...Think what you want, all that crap that you hear isn't true, I'm just glad people like you stay out. The only bad part, as in maybe smelly or non good scenery is the turnpike, but there's so much more to Jersey. Anyone who knocks us for having some factories on I95 is just ignorant...

    New Jersey is big enough joke with having the Jets being named by it!

    That's not true, considering they are situated close to Wilmington and Philadelphia as well.

    I know exactly that that's all people see, and that's why I say to talk bad about Jersey is ignorance, and I stand by that completely.
