A Christmas Present in January

SHR mentioned a couple of months ago that she really wanted to go to a Jets game at some point. She had never been to a regular season football game. I decided to buy us a pair of tickets for Christmas. How was I to know that Mark Sanchez was barely going to play?

Can you sense the excitement?

Now, can you? Fire!

The crowd was dead - sure was no RFK.

Where is the Redskins Marching Band when you need it?

Touchdown!

For the record, this was my first football game since an Eagles-Redskins game in 1999 at the Vet. It was a good time but I'm definitely curious to go back to a game that actually matters.

The crowd is dead, right. When I went, there were like a billion people there but it sounded like the White Oak library.

greed of owners, building stadiums to big. You'd say the same thing at Fed Ex or Licoln Financial too. But yes last game of season can be a bit like pre-season. And for "how was I suppossed to know" well try paying attention to football!!! That said Jets could have laid down, at least the scrubs balled.

redskin larry,

it was a rhetorical question.

but the big picture is, yes, i don't pay attention to football.

dave,
everything about the fans was pretty lame. i hated the jets - first down cheer. and i'm glad i'm ignorant of football - it means that i had no idea who fireman ed was until yesterday.
