“Some may say that’s a little over the top or whatnot, but it didn’t really cost that much, so why not?” Aaron Degerness, Jets senior manager of team operations, said to The Times. “We’re basically trying to replicate everything that we’re doing here over there.”
The Jets had items such as cereal, extension cords, gauze pads and wrist bands transported on a ship that also contained supplies for all the other NFL teams playing in London this season.

I red or heard that toilet tissue in the UK is crap
And no brown M&Ms!
I thought toilet paper in the UK was fine.
In Italy, most public bathrooms don’t have toilet seats, so you’d see backpackers walking around with toilet seats on their shoulders.
Many years ago, my late wife was in an NHS hospital in Knaresborough, Yorks, with our two year old son, who was being treated. The TP was from dispenser and like wax paper and each sheet was stamped with the name of the hospital.
US toilet papers (the good brands) are the world’s best. Any world traveler can attest to that.
Boy did I interpret that headline wrong. I figured, big deal. Jets have been transporting supplies back and forth across the Atlantic for years. But it’s THEE football Jets. That’s very different. Never mind.
I remember that wax paper TP. My grandmother used to have it in her house in the UK and to top it off she would actually bring some with her when she traveled to the US. It always used to make me think that British people must be really tough, but our TP technology is much more advanced.
Should sent some to Venezuela! They sure could use a bunch down there!
I think we and Canada (where we get a lot of softwood pulp) just have really soft trees.
I read a story here about westerners fighting against ISIS.
It referenced them buying toilet paper. I guess sand just doesn’t cut it.
In the Navy we had John Wayne toilet paper. It was rough, tough, and wouldn’t take crap off of anyone.
I had no issues with their tissues ...
TP in England performed like TP in USA & Canada.
What I can’t figure out is why they’re going to play the game at such a ridiculous hour. As I understand it, if you want to see it live, it’ll be at 9:30 AM EDT. That makes it 6:30 AM on the west coast.
What’s so difficult about playing the game in the evening in the UK?
