[quote name='madbst']Look back at all your posts in this thread and tell me you weren't hating. And every other post had either "Jets are so cocky, can't wait until NE shuts them up" or "Jets are one and done".
Brett Favre was sued, not the Jets. The Jets will never get respect until they win the whole thing.[/QUOTE]
First, I did look back at my posts and while I have had comments on the Jets throughout the season the majority of those posts have actually dealt with the media over-hyping the Jets which I still feel as if they did. This of course contradicts your sentiment that the media, and everyone else for that matter, have been "hatin' on them Jets" all season.
Nowhere did I say that I couldn't wait for the Patriots to shut them up or that they are one and done. My feeling was, and still is, that they are a team that is successful only because of their defense. Their offense is nothing special at all, and aside from last weekend's showing, they haven't had any amazing offense games. I mean let's remember some key games for the Jets here: Packers loss 9-0, Ravens loss 10-9, Patriots Loss 45-3, Bears Loss 38-34. Aside from the Bears game, notice a trend here?
And finally, yes, the Jets organization IS actually being sued in addition to Favre:

Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole, both former massage therapists for the New York Jets, filed suit against Favre, the New York Jets and Lisa Ripi, a woman who hires massage therapists for the team, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York today
So in closing, no I don't like the Jets, am I "hatin' for hatin' sake" though? No, and here's why:
Rex Ryan is a boorish, brash, and just downright crass head coach
Their strength and conditioning coach tripped a player in the middle of a game
Consistent trash talk, not clever at all, but downright crass behavior that is never addressed by the leadership of the team-recent example: Cromartie calls another player an ass (among other things) and rather than reprimand the player the coach joins right on in furthermore you have players downright telling the other team's players they will
end their career and nothing is done about it, Welker on the other hand makes vague illusions at insults and is benched for the start of the game, not a particularly strong punishment but it at least sends the message that type of behavior is not tolerated by the leadership of the team
Accusations of harassment by a female reporter at the beginning of the season-even though the degree to which this occurred has been downplayed by the reporter herself, some type of harassment did occur and even if it was just cat calls, hootin' and hollering, whatever, when combined with the Favre scandal it begs the question of just how much of a sophomoric, college boys atmosphere is tolerated on the team, quite simply the Jets have shown themselves to be completely classless and a team that doesn't deserve my respect.
. Sounds like a bandwagon is forming...
