New York Jets: Why I'm a Fan
I suppose I first became a Jets fan because my dad is a Jets fan, which is a natural way to start following a team. More often than not, Jets fans are also Mets fans, and I am no exception. So throughout my life, Iโve been able to align myself with this large fan group.
I canโt imagine being part of the other New York groupโcheering on the Giants and Yankeesโand while I donโt envy their success, I do want my teams to experience some of it in the near future.
The Giants have been to four Super Bowls in my lifetime, winning three. The Jets? They havenโt been to the Super Bowl since the merger.

How Garrett Trade Shakes Up Draft โ๏ธ

Ranking Biggest NFL Trades Ever ๐ฒ
They havenโt won a playoff game the past four seasons and havenโt had a legitimate shot at winning it all since 1998, when they turned it over six times and blew a 10-0 lead to the eventual-Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship.
Then there are the draft blunders. In fact, thereโs a YouTube video dedicated to the Jets' poor decisions on draft day.
All of these things make the Jets lovable losers of sorts. The unwise decision to bring in Brett Favre last year and the ensuing late-season collapse added yet another forgettable chapter to the franchiseโs relatively disappointing history.
Except that I, like most Jets fans, wonโt forget it. Iโll remember it and, along with all the other difficult momentsโthe playoff loss to the Steelers in 2005 comes to mindโtheyโll make me appreciate success, when it does come, even more.
Thatโs how sports works. At least thatโs what Iโd like to believe, especially given that Iโm a Jets/Mets fan.
After all, the only thing better than a lovable loser is a lovable winner.
