Agreed Brian. Why don't they build the Jets Stadium on Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island? It would suit them a lot better. I’d appreciate it if New Jersey would stop dropping their crap off in Queens. First the smog, and now the Jets?!

There oughta be a law! If you don't play your "home" games in your "home" state, you don't get to name yourselves after that state. They want to stay in Jersey? Fine, let 'em be the New Jersey Jets. That goes for the Giants, too. At least the Nets were men enough to rename themselves after their home state.

I don't care where they put the Jets stadium anymore. Really. Float it on the river. Put it in Central Park. Build it right on top of Ground Zero just to really piss everyone off. I just don't care anymore. It's the freaking Jets, for Christ's sake. Nothing can scrub my mind of the Leon Hess owned, Kotite era Jets. They are a steaming pile of green donkey dung. I lack the patience for this topic now. And now, back to posting borrowed news stories and pictures of food.

So true - and would the Jets call themselves the "New Jets," a la the "New Mets"? Some many possibilities!

Not to be unsupportive because I grew up there, but "regional sports mecca" is a label I would have never envisioned for my fair borough. But if the Jets do move there, Queens will have to acquire the Nets as well, just so that we have all the -ets teams in pro sports.
