Link: Pace Talks to Sporting News

by Bassett on March 29th, 2010 at 1:52 pm

Calvin Pace talks to the Sporting News about playing football and for the fans of New York.

SN: How has it been playing for the Jets and their fans?
CP: When I signed with the Jets two years ago, I thought about that, and if that would help me do well. The people here are passionate, and you get really excited playing for the tem. That J-E-T-S chant gets you pumped up. It’s 24-hour football for these fans.

    It’s always nice to hear a player thank us fans for being outright insane.

    I always think jets fans have been underrated in terms of their passion for their team. A lot of people from the outside view many of the Jets fans as pessimistic and only supports the team when they do well, which is true in a portion of the fanbase, but in terms of the die hard Jets fans, I dont think their are many teams if any that have better fans that care more than we do

    ryan…

    wellsaid…

    we should also thank D.HARRIS for going up in the chopper to help persuade PACE to come to the jets…and from what i remember reading…HARRIS is afraid of flying…i love our LBing core…now all we need is another beast in the draft and we’ll have the best LBing core in the leauge to go along side the best CB tandem…just my thoughts…

    Ryan,

    I totally agree. I think the majority of Jets fans are not the sterotyped fans that the outsiders view us as. Thanks Pace, and you better believe we will be there Opening Monday night in the PM on National TV acting all crazy and getting up for our team. GO JETS!

    Real Jets fans never hop of and on the band wagon though we were always pessimistic. Even with the Tuna we were still waiting for the other shoe to drop. But no longer! We are so optimistic and passionate! I don’t know what may feel better, Playing for these rabid fans or us cheering for this rabid team! Lets go J-E-T-S!
