Will 9-11 help the Jets this Sunday?
 

Its a pretty emotional day for New Yorkers... Think it will be extra motivation for them? This is the first Sunday to fall on 9-11...

This will be the first 9-11 that I won't feel sorry for them... well just Jet fans. Im still saddened by the whole 9-11 deal... but that isnt gonna mean shit come kickoff.

I guess it might depend on how much the stadium does pregame in regards to 9/11.

I remember the Giants game after 9/11/01, where the pregame ceremony seemed to really subdue the fans. I don't see it having that effect this year though.

Personally, I think the players play just as hard regardless of the sentimental issues.

Or will it affect how the refs call the game?




Hey, just a thought. Something to ponder.

I wondered when/ how the Media was going to 9/11 this.

Next thing they'll want everyone to roll over for Jets/Giants since we all love NYC. (NOT)

I don't think it will affect the game at all.

9/11 is ALREADY part of the US nostalgia. Until it happens again, people are too embroiled in their personal lives to REALLY care.

No.

Too be honest, I dont think it matters. Like really, football is football, and the best team is going to win anyway.

After Sunday the Jets will remember 9 11 as the day they got their azzes kicked at Arrowhead. Leave the politics out of football. I am there to watch the game not get bummed out about 911 or the hurrican, give it a break all ready.

I think the hurricane stuff will overshadow it a bit right now, since it is fresh in the minds of Americans.

in 2001 I stood up and cheered for the Giants as they made their way onto the field.

That was the first and only time I'd ever did that.

This year the NY Jets are going to feel right at home because they are going to be getting a big bronx cheer from me.

I just read that 9/11 is questionable for the game because of a bad hamstring.

I think its just plain wrong for you guys to even begin to link 9/11 to football. I have lost neighbors and family members and to this day, everytime I see 9/11 footage i ball. Football is a game, 9/11 affected millions of New Yorkers and Americans because it was the greatest tradgedy in this great nations history. I'm sorry if you midwestern guys dont understand, but 9/11 is not even close to a giggleing matter up here. The game sunday will be played on the grass at arrowhead and everything else will be out the door. No, 9/11 will not "pump" the jets up or have them play with any extra emotion. But shame on all of you for making it into a mockery. Shame on you.

Sorry if we are not allowed to discuss 9/11 here in the Midwest. Also, you are way off base. We are discussing IF it will be connected to the football game. I myself would prefer that it wasn't since we don't really see how it can help our team.

I understand, and talking about 9/11 is not a problem to me at all. But when you have guys saying "I heard 9/11 is questionable because of a bad hamstring", I just think thats ediotic, uncalled for and insenseitive.

Well at least not as much as spot’n them 14 points would, which IMO is what they’re gonna need to beat the Chiefs. ;)

Weird topic... and some really awkward replies.

I think it will only help them if the final score is 11-9 Jets.

I'm NOT trying to link the two date 9/11/01 and 9/11/05.
I just hope the media centers in the USA (NY) being one of them tries it.

Yeah it's was bad and effected everyone in America. I'm not giggling about it.

Your network guys tried it after 9/11/01, to push their teams as local games here whenever possible. Our games would get bumped for viewing. According to our local network affilates, 'orders from NY'.

I'm not mocking it. Just reminding how the 'TV network' tried to make everyone like their teams just because they were from NY.

I think that network stunt had the opposite effect to the rest of us in 'fly over' America.

BTW.Cmart28 Lets hope the Chiefs just Kick the Jets a$$ on 9/11.

Football is football for 3 hours on Sunday we can forget about the Hurricane and 9/11.

Even if it does motivate them... we will still kick some serious ass this sunday and pull of a win.

I can't believe it has been 4 years already :(

Man I'm sorry for your loss but I've never saw anything but respect for 9/11 victims here. Chill.

I'll be at the game.

I'm glad/hope football remains that.

no.

It very well could. I'm pretty sure that was the basis of this thread.... people's opinions on how 9/11 and the memories will affect the jets. No one is making a mockery of 9/11. Take a deep breath.

Yup, I reckon you got a point thar, pard'ner. We midwesterners shouldn't be talk'n 'bout that nashunal tragedy because New Yorkers were the only ones affected. Them there terr'rists is only after the New Yorkers. They don't blow up midwesterners 'cuz we're too simple.

Careful, Phob.

You don't want another person prank calling you non-stop. :)

I can respect that New Yorkers are still sensitive about this.

I think it's safe to say that not a single member of this board thinks the events of 9/11/01 are funny.

You can be offended by a lot of things if you try hard enough.

THIS TIME ON 9/11 ITS THE JETS CRASHING INTO ARROWHEAD.

The Jets football team willl crash and burn @Arrowhead.

:eek: ROFL

holy shit

You have got about as much class as your elementary school on Saturday. :shake:

Hey when it comes to the Chiefs, lives will be sacrificed. Doesn't matter. I would rather have the Chiefs win a superbowl than save 50,000 people!!! Anything in our way of that is fair game.

you must be one of the resident asswipes. how can you write a joke about jets crashing on 9/11 and be proud of yourself at all? you're a damned fool.

Nolimit you suck because you are making me agree with neckdemon- that was a very horrible post. What is next screw the hurican victims over if we can make the playoffs.

Sorry New Yorkers he doesn't speak for all of us.

Maybe if this numbnut was there on the last day they took down the steel cross like I was. Maybe if he saw the line of victims clothes found in the rubble and posted with their pictures. Maybe if he saw the number of firefighters names spray painted on the wall that never came home. Maybe if he witnessed the people standing in the rain crying as they took the cross down. The kids that were there that will never see their mother or father or both again. Probably would't matter anyway.

Hey good luck on Sunday guys, football doesnt even matter in the big picture.

I have to agree, I know a few people out there very close and to make fun of this is so wrong!

Sorry about him.

Every village has one...

He only has 74 posts and I don't remember seeing him/it here at all. But if he/it is/becomes a resident figure than I agree, he's an asswipe.

I believe there was a South Park episode that set the rule..if its been 3 years ago, you can freely joke about it.

Lighten up folks.

Oh but there was one funny event on 9/11! Remember the video footage of some guy that was burning an American flag and caught himself on fire?

http://www.iranian.com/Anyway/2001/O...mages/flag.jpg

Now that was priceless! ROFL

I dunno. Its New Jersey, so i'm sure there were at least 20 million people being complete assholes.

DUDE - THAT AINT EVEN RIGHT -- and crashing -- I like to read intelligent conversation back with facts and well thought out opinions, but sadly, some Chiefs fans have no class.

Peace out.

lighten up? are you kidding me? take a look at this picture. see this 3 year old boy? he died crashing into one of the towers. you still think it's time to lighten up about it?

Whatever is going on in that picture is definately not legal.

Given your past history that post would have got you banned if I was in charge. :mad:

Just an FYI... 9/11 happened to America... not New York.

you think thats funny? to make fun of a 3 year old boy and his family that were all killed ? you are a true piece of shit!

Now that's funny.

Of course. I mean--Jesus Christ--Over the last several hours, I've recommended (in PM's) that several of our "leading lights" ram themselves genital-first into an industrial wood-chipper, for the good of humanity, of course...

I was only sincere in Skip Towne's case...




....at least I think so...

Dude, give it a rest.

The more you holler, the more they'll try to push your buttons.

i'm done. i just think it's a shame that you have posters on this site who have such little class, and are such scum bags that they can make fun of a 3 year old boy who died crashing into the world trade center. and you know what funnier. you are telling ME to give it a rest. you should be telling these total pieces of shit to shut their mouths instead.

he was only messing with you....Saully can be an asshole but he's not evil....ROFL

Yeah. That'll stop me.

Where are they making fun of a little boy? Most of us on this board are parents....show me where they made fun of the little one......:hmmm:

I'm not a babysitter and I don't pretend to care what these guys say, no matter how classless.

I'm just giving you a bit of freindly advice. They are throwing out bait, and you keep biting hook, line, and sinker.

If it's so offensive and unbearable, you can always go back to the freindly confines of a Jets board and have a circle jerk with all your fellow homers.

I was actually making fun of his adopted gay parents. The asian one, specifically.

oh......my.....god.....:banghead:

It seems to me that neckdemon is throwing out bait, and then getting pissed when anyone takes it.

this has nothing to do with football. if you don't get it by now then iguess you never will. at least at our "homerville" we wouldn't let a thread like this or the one about the jets crashing continue to go on with people posting such tasteless stuff. i guess thats what makes our site great.

I'M FROM NEW JERSEY and I'm proud about it, I love the Garden State.
I'M FROM NEW JERSEY and I want to shout it, I think it's simply great.
All of the other states throughout the nation may mean a lot to some;
But I wouldn't want another, Jersey is like no other, I'm glad that's where I'm from!!!

And the inmates running this asylum is what makes our site great to us. You have two choices. Live with it. Or don't.

I'm most definately NOT pointing out that that's the classic snuff-pedophilia joke....

I think that is what he was implying....

yeah isn't the internet great? it gives spineless scumbags a chance to say things that they would never dare say to someones face for fear of suffering the consequences.

It must suck to be a fan of a team who hasn't won a Super Bowl since....well, ...

hey at least we've won a play-off game in the last decade!

Don't underestimate Sual/Zach, he is pretty stupid and would likey spout off in person.





:p

Don't mind the little tool, what do you expext from a jock sniffer? :shake:

And yet you're the only one talking tough.

Amazing that you are so offended by this thread and site, yet keep coming back for more.

Scoreboard.

I'm personally embarassed for the BB by the crap on this thread. This nopitlick fucker needs to be IP banned (assuming he hasn't been already). Enough is enough.

i'm not offended. i just find it amazing that....1- posts like that are allowed to stay on a site like this. but then again i guess i'm just used to the professionalism of our site.....2- that people are actually so stupid that they would make fun of something like that. but hey, if your born stupid i guess you have to play the hand you're dealt.

Without question.

LMAO -- your lack of football knowledge is comical. Nice comeback.

You must be a new fan of the Chiefs.

ouch!

Its not like this thread was created with intelligent football conversation in mind.

I think you missed the joke.

Who is showcasing a lack of football knowledge? The Chiefs have won a SB, the Jets HAVE NOT. Which was his point.

Your lack of appreciation for subtle humor is also comical.

ouch

OK, I missed the joke. I've still forgotten more about football than you'll ever know kid.

Jets have never won a Superbowl....
