N.Y. Jets Fans Prefer To Watch Boobs Instead Of Their Pitiful Team, We Say “Duh.”

The New York Jets pulled off a sensational upset against the Steelers this weekend, but all the hollering and wailing during the game was hardly because of the Jet’s surprising efficiency. The New York Times reported that the real action for fans–well the male ones at least–isn’t on the field at all. Hoards of men panting and slobbering all over each other wait around “Gate D” at Giant’s Stadium to chant and scream for women to show some boobies. You know, it’s there way of getting through a 2-8 season. Well, if the Jet’s were winning they’d probably be doing the same thing. Not willing to put a stop to the raucous, which is reportedly an ongoing extravaganza every year, security guards usually ignore the commotion. Unless someone actually shows their tits.

“The problem is, you got to watch four or five hundred people sometimes in the one particular spiral. What do we do, arrest everybody that starts chanting?”

You could always hose them down with beer and have them start licking the asphalt clean. It works at music festivals. Since the Jets suck, most fans don’t even attend the stadium to watch the game anymore. We present your twenty-year old spokesman:

Perhaps forlorn Jets fans, who have rarely had a winning team to support, are seeking alternative entertainment on game days.
“This is the game,” said Patrick Scofield, a 20-year-old from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., who has attended several Jets games the last two seasons.

So this totally explains why the Raiders’ psychotic fans always show up to games dressed like it’s a freakin’ Dia De Los Muertos festival. Yet, we remember the same thing was happening during the parade route in Downtown when the Los Angeles Lakers won those three consecutive titles earlier this decade. Maybe teams that teeter between not so bad and not so good are spared the boob-fest. But if you suck really bad, or you rule really good, then boobies and chanting just come with the territory.
