How long have you been a Jets fan and what is your earliest Jets memory?
I’ve been a Jets fan since 1996 (I was 12). My earliest Jets memory is going 1-15 the year I became a fan and then winning the AFC East 2 years later.
What is your favorite Jets memory?
My favorite Jets memory is a tie between Monday Night Miracle and watching Curtis Martin’s Hall of Fame acceptance speech
What was the first Jets game you attended?
As a Los Angeles native, I don’t get to go to many Jets games. My first Jets game was Jets vs. Chargers in San Diego in 2000 I think.
Do you own any Jets jerseys, if so, which ones?
Wayne Chrebet, Keyshawn Johnson, Curtis Martin, and Darelle Revis
Favorite current Jet?
Darelle Revis
Favorite former Jet?
Tie between Wayne Chrebet and Curtis Martin
Do you have any game day rituals? If so, what?
I have a Jets fighter pilot helmet that I wear literally from the moment I wake up until the game is over. It gets hot (especially since I live is LA), but I almost never take it off.
Best tailgate food?
BEER.
Do you follow any other sports? If so, favorite teams?
My favorite baseball team is the Dodgers (though I have a soft spot for the Mets). Basketball is the Clippers.
