Friends, Football and Feasting
By Nic In London, I’d pay large amounts of money in eateries for what I am served at a Jets tailgate in the MetLife Stadium parking lot… Smoked brisket as big as my head? Sure. Top-quality smoked ribs with pork belly and a side of tacos? Yes, please, go on. Italian meatballs or a mountain…

The good, the bad and the MetLife
By Nic, Alasdair Mackay, Anth Cook & Steve Rowe We sat there feeling a bit down because, as with many of our Jets fan meet-ups, events, and tailgating sessions, the pre-game festivities were absolutely incredible.

What have you done to MEEEE?!
By Manny Martin Luther King once said I have a dream, well I have a nightmare, it’s September to December when The Green and White New York Jets take the field and sell you a dream of hope. Being a Manchester United fan all my life, I was used to WINNING and WINNING ALOT, and…
