    If I could quit the Jets and support another team, I certainly would have done so long before now - this franchise sucks TBH and supporting a consistently crap team is little fun, I would love a bit of glory by association for once (no team in any sport I have ever followed has ever won anything during my lifetime - I think it may be me).

    Maybe if i moved from NY but even then i still don't think I could do it,No I can't that kid who sold his stuff and all that is a fraud. And look the Bengals beat the Steelers to make the playoffs so I hope he regrets it now. It's years like the two AFC championship years that make being a Jet fan worth it. Those two years as a Jet fan were the best ever and when we get to the promised land it is going to be huge for us becuase alot of us weren't alive the last time they won the Superbowl

    this is what keeps you going, every team is just that one great QB away from being a contender (except for the Jets who seem cursed never to find one).

    I've tried to convince myself to like other teams a few times, I could never do it.

    I was the kind of Jets fan who would slip a five (it was money in the late 60s) to the turnstile attendants at Shea Stadium to let me in and stand in the aisles for the whole game in the dead of winter. Then I moved to Miami. There was no Internet and no cable and no satellite radio and no Sunday ticket back then. If you moved away, you couldn't follow the team to the extent that I followed it, meaning go to every home game and watch every away game and read every scrap of paper about the team that I could get my hands on. So I decided to be a fan of the team where I lived, because I could go to games and follow it. It wasn't easy; took a couple of years. But here I am 40 years later, a Fins fan. If I'd moved to Cleveland, I would have become a Browns fan, or a Lions fan if I'd moved to Michigan, because I couldn't live without NFL football. I wouldn't have done it if we had the resources then that we do today.

    $100,000 and i'd listen. and anyone who says they wouldn't is flat out lying.

    although in reality you could pay me all the money in the world and i'd wear another jersey but deep down i'd always be a jets fan and would root for them. lol so whoever paid $500 is a moron.

    No. That is what separates Jets fans from Tim Tebow fans.

    If it was that easy to switch, would I have put up with this shit for 45 years?

    Between the Jets, Mets, Knicks, and Islanders I've gone 137 sport seasons without a championship. Luckily about eight years ago I became a Manchester City fan and they won the Premier League last year. It was my first championship celebration since the Mets in 86, and it felt great.

    Leave the Jets? Never ever. I do have favorites like the 49ers since I grew up watching Steve young as a kid. But I will never quit on the Jets to jump ship on another team.

    If Jets bolt from New York, then since they turned their collective backs on me, then I might root for other team.

    As long as that doesn't happen, though - probably not within this millennium.

    Jets, Mets, Knicks and Islanders fan. Saw SBIII, saw tthe Knicks in 70, saw the Mets in 69 and 86, and saw the four SC with the Islanders. Consider myself pretty lucky to have been able to see all that. Couldn't even think of changing, besides I have a son who has inherited the same allegiances as myself. Some are saying it's a form of child abuse.....

    Jets, England and Newcastle United, I am at 120ish sport seasons without a championship - a few years ago I started to get into baseball and went with the Detroit Tigers - I couldn't believe when all of a sudden they made it to the world series - I thought "wow, this is great, a team I follow could actually win something" - no, they got whitewashed instead :(
