Jets Flight Crew Would Give Drag Queens a Fair Chance
I realize writing this on the web could be opening Pandora’s box for the Jets, but … since Buzz Bissinger (no matter how many apologies he makes) thinks we bloggers are dedicated (NSFW language) to “cruelty” and “journalistic dishonesty” … might as well play the part … here goes.
In a rather innocuous interview by WNYC (public radio) that turned somewhat for the strange, it would seem that the Director of the Jets Flight Crew has a somewhat open-minded policy when it comes to those who would try out for the Flight Crew:
REPORTER: She says they’re looking for “goodwill ambassadors” and people fans can relate to:
GARVEY: We don’t have any strict requirements – no weight or height requirements – we have all different girls on the team and all different girls looking to try out…”
REPORTER: There’s not the kind of human variety you might find in a supermarket checkout line – the largest body is about a size “6″ -and there are no male cheerleader wannabe’s.
GARVEY: we haven’t had any men apply… we are looking for young women.
REPORTER: If there was a mind blowing drag queen?
GARVEY: I guess everyone deserves a fair chance – so that would be my attitude.
Umm … OK. Well it IS public radio and the audtions WERE in Chelsea … what do you expect?
As I think about it, Ms. Garvey dealt with the situation with aplomb. If I’m trying to put myself into Ms. Garvey’s shoes … oh wait … that would make ME a drag queen …
In truth, it’s clear from the audio that the question was a joke, but it’s good to hear that Garvey has the same open-mindedness it would take to fill her roster, much like Coach Eric Mangini & GM Mike Tannenbaum’s “land of opportunity” when it comes to drafted or undrafted players …

We live in a very interesting world. That is for sure.
Plz file this under: “You know it’s the offseason when…”

I wouldn’t be surprised if any of the cheerleaders on the NY Jets Flight Crew were missing some of their orininal equipment (ahem).
I was born in Long Island, but thankfully moved to sunny Scottsdale, AZ before puberty hit, so I never had the misfortune of dating ugly women (sans alcohol).
What a sad casting call?
Courtney, Kate, and the two Gina’s are the only flight attendants that I’d take Mile High clubbing and maybe the cheoreographer, Denise Harvey – Got Milf?

Maybe, if we they weren’t “flag girls” they wouldn’t have to resemble our offensive line.
Dan C,
You said it. I hate May, June and July.Aaaaaaaaargh!
Finally the team has focused on cheerleaders that can relate directly with the NY Jets fan base. Maybe if Chad Pennington struggles again this year you guys can send him off to do some splits, ouch.
This is a great move for the human rights to make fun of the Jets movement. First you gave us the J-E-T-S Sucks, sucks, sucks rant, and now its starting to make some sense.
Just in case you don’t already know, signing highly paid free agents only will only elongate the inevitable fall of the Jets,.. come on 25 million for Pace, a once written off bust 1st draft pick.
So enjoy your drag-queens, and your losing season. Oh and don’t forget to remind me to send Fanica his AARP card. He’ll benefit from fantastic savings.
It only makes perfect sense that you would allow men to dress up as cheerleaders… afterall, the Jets have been dressing women up as football players for years. Maybe they can borrow Namath’s gay fur while they’re at it! GO PHINS!
LMFAO Athos hit the nail right on the head! Still, on the bright side as soon as Pennington take his first hit game 1 of the season, and is out injured AGAIN, they will have a nice little skimpy number waiting for him…very appropriate!! GO Fins!!!!
Will the cross-dressing males get to use the ladies restrooms? That might be worth donning a skirt and some makeup.
I think its a very good idea. I can relate to that and see nothing wrong with it. Whats the worst that can happen? Miami beats us like a rug? We aready have the head rug cleaner in Man-jyna
And now the Jets will be the laughingstock of the NFL….1-15 seems great next to a plane full of queer football players!!! The Jets will win games this year cause no one will want to be touched by queer football players!!!
Dolphin 1, Whats the matter with being happy and gay. We will look nice too! lol. You miami dogs will always stink anyhow. Hubba Hubba.
Your pal
JF3
Holy Cow, I knew the Jets were desperate for players, but they cant even get female cheerleaders. I guess if your glass QB goes down…again…..you can have one of your cheerleaders step in. You bunch of losers!
hahaha, Finally this franshise is comming out of the closet. this is something the FINS FANS have known for a long time. JETS franshise is all about queers and it shows in their roster, management, and now even their cheerleaders!! hey at least they can spell jets. GO FINS!!!!!
Is Dennis Rodman available?
Man, what can you say in response to Dolphin fans who mock Chad as being a “glass QB”? I wish there were some better material, but unfortunately, their best offensive player, Ronnie Brown, has not only been a total success since his rookie year, he also never gets hurt!!!
Hey Dolphins fans, two things to remember:
Ted Ginn.
1-15.
Thanks for playing.
I KNEW IT!!!!!! NYC has embraced people in the theatre for a looooooooooong time. Now thats evident on the football field. The only thing that could make this even better is that loud mouth fireman dressed in a green and pink tutu screaming H…O…M…O MO,MO, MO’s!!!!! Are they going to have practice in the village now? I do want to say though, If I have offended any jets fans that have bones in their closets or(mouths) GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
