View from the sideline
By Lou I’m Lou, originally from Essex, and I grew up on a diet of Manchester United and Sunday local football with absolutely no access to American football. So when I told someone I was a New York Jets fan, they immediately asked, ‘What could you possibly know about the NFL? Well, let me take…

International Fan of the Year
By Frazer Campbell My head was spinning; it felt like it was only the previous day that I was speaking to Tyler Conklin via chat and then Quincy Williams in London, and now there I was standing next to Sauce Gardner in the heart of his hometown, Detroit, for the NFL Draft, and it was…

Back to Back
By Nic Ealing Fields… Say that name with reverence, for they are back-to-back flag football champions. You may recall an article that I wrote back in May 2023 about the inaugural London NFL Flag Football Championship that took place on a beautifully sunny afternoon in Ealing itself, where the Ealing Fields’ girls took the trophy…

2023: a season in review
By Alasdair Mackay So this isn’t your regular season review for the New York Jets 2023 football season—I am sure you have read plenty of those. Plus, there was nothing regular about the 2023 Jets season, let’s be honest. What started with great hope and expectation ended with a whimper. No, this is a review of how our season went—a…

One year and 3460 odd miles
By Steven Being a die-hard supporter of the New York Jets anywhere in the world is tough: enduring a rotating carousel of QBs with lots of “potential” (whatever that means); actually being tricked into believing that Adam Gase and Nathaniel Hackett were offensive masterminds; and championing the fact that we once again won the offseason,…

“You’re live in 3..2..1..”
By Nic Back in May of this year (2023, if you’re reading this at a later date), I was frustrated. I was frustrated at the New York Jets and decided to put pen to paper, so to speak, I composed a blog entitled ‘What’s the Game Plan?’. You’ve probably read it. I decided to speak…

A Tale of Two Stadiums
By John Bradley I’m a Jets fan who’s not from London; I’m a proud Scotsman. But that doesn’t mean I don’t head south to the Big Smoke. I do and have done so many times, whether it be for the games in London, watch parties, or even one of the draft parties with my beloved…

Time to say goodbye (a suicide note)
Now that I’ve got your attention with the title, I’m here to write about mental health and as it’s World Suicide Prevention Day there’s no better moment. It starts with a Londoner, Mark who’s a Jags fan… Years ago something unexpected happened in his life and, combined with a lengthy buildup of self-perceived failures beforehand,…

Coz London loves the Jets
By Nic That title is something that’s been bandied around Green Smoke for a while now to emphasise the love for Gang Green we have here in the UK’s capital city. The truth is, like every other UK city, football (or soccer, if you will) is very much the predominant sport, and every London-based Jets…

Why I quit my job for the Jets
By Jon Love This is my journey of being a UK NY Jets fan originating in 1986 at school following Ken O’Brien, Al Toon, Wesley Walker and the Sack Exchange and deciding to follow my dream of watching them in the US until they won the Super Bowl (one day it will come!) and then…

An Ealing Victory
By Nic An Ealing Victory is what I’ve titled this, a play on the works from the studio of yesteryear that produced Ealing Comedies. Classics such as The Man in the White Suit and after watching the superb display by The Girls in the White Uniforms (see what I did there?), I also wanted to…
