But facts are facts and certainly not liked by many, especially when they don't favor ones preferred team.

As previously noted ad infinitum on other threads, I bleed (or bled, when I was into the NFL) Jets green. I have no love for the Pats, but nice try. I just find this juvenile argument amusing, especially from adults.

Again, facts are facts. What's juvenile is arguing against them.

I bleed black and gold, however, I have no problem arguing the teams lack of success(depending on which team is unsuccessful) and admitting their issues. What would be juvenile is arguing against the facts of where they currently are/have been.

As to the Jets, there really isn't anything worth arguing, as far as their recent success goes, anyway.

If there's something to talk about their recent success, game on. Love to hear it.

The NFL "Hard Knocks" show was great and it appeared as though they'd turn their success around, but instead they're more of a dysfunctional reality show with Rex as the MC more than anything, but as long as they continue to operate how they do, that's not changing, along with their success anytime soon.

Sorry, but they're going nowhere anytime soon. Just the facts.

The Dad with the bandage over his nose and the 2 black eyes, if you will.

Rationalization over reality always intrigues me. Even for those that don't actually watch the games or only watch their team, the box score/standings are in black and white...but it's still hard for some to digest.
