Softball takes a major back burner as we are on the eve of the huge Jets-Patriots divisional playoff game. Today I was reminded that far too often in softball I am the first to act like or call out people as acting "
Goonish". Meaning behavior that is rude, mean, demanding, loud, nasty, obnoxious, and unreasonable. All these adjectives for most part describe
Jet fans like myself
However, everyone knows that at least Jet fans have a right to be goons b/c of our
long suffering tradition of heart breaking losses. Today I bonded with my fellow Jet Goon Fans
at a Jet playoff rally at the stadium. My first instinct was that this was going to be so
wack and nerdy, but it was the exact opposite. It was actually a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!!! I actually got to go on the field
and relived some of my Al
Bundy like tackle football memories
The event was awesome for kids
as we got to groom our future Jet
gooniesOK there were some corny sun tan saloon cheerleaders doing some jersey shore dance steps
but what really made the rally worthwhile were the old greats
and my main man
#1 Jet Fan Fireman Ed (love that guy)
The time for talk is over. We know who the enemy is
so now Let's Go Play Some Good Football and get one step closer to the promised land and erasing all these years of pain.
P.S. My wife is a huge Pats fans and for tomorrow we will be separated. Love her, but really want this one and I know if we play well we have a chance no matter what anyone says.
