You think it’s hard being a Houston sports fan?

NY%20Jets%20fans.jpgAs noted earlier here, it’s not easy being a fan of Houston sports teams. But as difficult as that may be, it’s nothing compared to the angst that long-suffering New York Jets fans are enduring as a result of having their two most-hated rivals in Super Bowl XLII:

Perhaps the only thing worse for Jets fans than watching their team finish 4-12 this season, is knowing the historic Feb. 3 matchup pits their big-brother co-tenants, the Giants, against Bill Belichick and the ever-villainous Patriots.
“I can’t wait for this to be over,” said [longtime Jets fan Ira] Lieberfarb, a 53-year-old auto-parts wholesaler and a regular caller on local sports-talk radio who attends virtually every Jets game, home and away. “Whichever team wins it, I’m going to suffer. I grew up in Sheepshead Bay getting abused by Giants fans and mostly everyone at my party will be Giants fans. I can’t escape that. But I don’t know a single Jets fan that could root for the Patriots and Belichick.”

Which reminds me of the funny video below that chronicles the reaction of Jets fans to their team’s horrible draft picks from over the years:
