Wish someone would put a team back in New York so I could finally give up rooting for the Jets.

If you meant that you'd root for the Bills.

Me, I walked away from the jets and gints when I moved to San Francisco in 1977, but I really gave up after Coach Sherman, Tittle and Gifford were gone. Sherman and Gifford both lived in the town where I grew up and each took an interest in my brother's high school and college career. Very nice people.

When the Jets abandoned Shea and the Giants abandoned Yankee Stadium I lost all sympathy for them. Fortunately I was no longer a full time New Yorker, being off at College, so the pain wasn't so great.

Of course, there is a perfect site for a stadium on Manhattan at Turtle Bay...

Was waiting for that response. As a Jets fan (potential former Jets fan), I can not root for the Bills. Was referring to New York in the vicinity of NYC.

LOL!

I'd rather see the teams pool their money and build the West Side Stadium. Bring them both back to Old New York!
