Damn, bitter much? It is the New York POST, so you go in expecting tabloid writing, but still...

Is there a Jets fan alive who doesn’t crave seeing the Jets defense dismantle Kirk Cousins and the Vikings on Sunday at MetLife Stadium and then ask the Minnesota quarterback this: “You like that?!?’’
Forget that a win over the 3-2-1 Vikings would be a third consecutive victory for the young, upstart Jets, who would get to 4-3 and be in the thick of the AFC East race nearly midway through the season.
The delicious byproduct would be sticking it to Cousins, who not only spurned an outlandish free-agent contract offer of $90 million guaranteed over three years from the Jets in March, but then bragged about using them as leverage to up the Minnesota offer on a video that was posted for public consumption and — as it turned out — Jets embarrassment....

...the rest at the link...

That should quite the motivational pre-game speech:

”Let’s go kill Cousins for turning down our offer of $90 Million and forcing us to draft Sam Darnold while leaving more money and cap space to pay the rest of us!!!” 
“Yeah! Wait, what?”

You understand the Post is just a National Enquirer style rag, right?

Vikings could really benefit from a banged up Jets secondary. Jets' top corner Trumaine Johnson sat out the last two weeks with a quad and those tend to linger so we'll see if he practices. They lost their best safety, Marcus Maye, who broke his thumb on Sunday so he's out for a while. Buster Skrine, their slot corner (the guy who would most often be matched up on Thielen) missed last week with a concussion. If all three sit, Diggs and Thielen will be matched up with the illustrious Parry Nickerson, Morris Claiborne and Daryl Roberts.

I hope this game brings out the beast in Richardson. It would be nice to see him have a statement game against his old team.

This could be another opportunity to run the ball, the Jets are rather weak in that department.

an appearance would be nice.  Will take him appearing on the stat sheet.  I know it is a team game, but he has been invisible since the first couple games.

They're like Giant fan lite---can't really fault them too much as they are working out their anger issues for taking the short bus all those years

Would a new yorker even recognize class if they saw it?

Speaking of class, the New York fan usually has a class breakdown between the blue collar and white collar.

For decades the blue collar were - Jet's & Met's fans and the white collar were Giants and Yankee fans. 

I have been to many games in New York and never had a problem unlike Philly.

honestly, i've only met a few and a couple were brothers from our old PT days.  Aside from being Yankee fans they were a couple of great guys to tailgate with.  definitely broke the stereotypical new yorker mold that i think myself and a lot of other people have.... and then theres the bostonians... oy vey. B)

now getting new yorkers out of their element is a riot.  we get a few that come out here for hunting or other and they are pretty tough until the rural realities hit them in the face.  I about died when one that signed up for a trail ride saw how big a real horse was... he was asking if it was safe and if he should be wearing a helmet and such shit.  tough 20 something new york city kid and he was shitting himself over a little old trail horse.

Ours in central Florida are the same.  
There's two kinds of NY. There New York, New York and then there's the rest of the state. The few I knew from up state were nothing like the NY city @ssholes.

also like meeting folks from other parts of the country and to get their impressions on our state, of course some dont want to talk.....  SD being one of the best armed states in the nation and where guns are about as common as a baseball glove in a kids hand,  its really not something we even notice.  I have a CC permit and on some of my sales routes I will carry.  typically it is secured in my pickup when I have it with me,  but I will not leave it in there over night.  a few months ago I was checking out of a hotel and when I was leaving my room there was a man walking down the hall towards me,  as I stepped out my coat got pulled open slightly and it  exposed my pistol,  the gentleman obviously saw it as we were making eye contact he immediately stopped walking towards me and quickly did an about face and double timed it back up the hall way.  when I got out to my truck I noticed that there was only one other vehicle in the parking area... california plates.  I got a pretty good chuckle out of that encounter without a word being spoken.

"Mike just has to do the same thing as the Vikings. To get them to a number that is competitive with the Jets offer, but the fact that we have the Jets offer is huge, cause now it gives the other teams a reason to come up."

How is that bragging?
