Even if New York fans are everything you say they are, saying it to

the press is a whole other matter. Jason Taylor has just opened New

York's version of Pandora's Box for the rest of his career,

GUARANTEED.

Looks like this team has missed it's “window” and one of the best speed-rushers in the game is trying to get his team through a slow start. Being that this is a divisional game, there is all the more reason to get keyed up. Taylor has stated that he thinks there will be more Jets fans than normal at Pro Player and that

“… a bunch of them chanting their dumb-ass chant and all that other stuff, being the ignorant fans they are. I said it. I don't care if they get mad at me or not. They don't like me anyway. Quite frankly, I don't care… I'm just being real. I'm telling the truth. You carry yourself with some class, and we'll talk about you as if you've got class. If you want to act crazy and do all the crazy things they do, I'll call a spade a spade.”

OK, first off, we Jets fans might be classless, but we certainly are not ignorant. The article makes the point a little later that Jason Taylor needed a cop to get him through Times Square safely. If Jets fans are so ignorant, how did we know who Taylor was off the gridiron to threaten him in the first place? That ain't ignorant, it's an educated fanbase! Then he proceeds to make fun of the chant… what to Dolphins fans do… make clicking noises??? At least he HAVE a chant!!!

Also, anytime anyone says “I'm just being real” you know that what you are hearing is a Kellen Winslow “soldier” type rant. If a person has to state “I'm just being real,” then what the crap are they saying the rest of the time? No need let us know where you are on the “real meter” or get all Ralph Waldo Emerson on my ass… just make the freaking statement.

In all honesty, it is terrible that fans throw things at him at Giants Stadium, and make him feel unsafe in what is the greatest city in America, but I feel like more and more across the country, fans are acting irresponsibly, I just hope New York isn't forging the way.
