Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 3280759, member: 56"] Dude, we don't like the Jets. And their fans. Even though we beat all over them. It's been a long term thing. It comes from being a divisions rival, having both our head coaches going from one to the other (Parcells/BB). They take all the players we cut. You just build up animosity over time. Pats don't play the Giants enough. Hard to build up that hate if you don't. Although there are plenty still bitter about two Superbowls. The Jets thing has waned a bit in recent years, due to their ineptitude, but the fans would ding the hell out of a poll like the one you mentioned, just for yuks. We still take great pleasure in their every failing*. But if they start winning, look out. The Yanks and Red Sox hated each other, even when the Sox hadn't won crap for 85 years. Sox were the ugly step brother. It's simply a NY Boston thing. *Ironically, the Jets are responsible for our greatest triumph. Mo Lewis knocking out Drew Bledsoe to usher in the Tom Brady era (early) was a coup for us. [/QUOTE]
