After college I moved to California.  Real native born Californians knew less about the US than anywhere I’ve been.  The schools systems there focused on California history more than American history.  World history, forget it.  Going east meant Las Vegas.  
 

Public school education is atrocious in most parts of this country. 

My wife is from California.  While she has a better grasp of US geography than most Californian’s, I had to laugh when I took her to Niagara Falls several years ago.  She had no idea how built-up the area was.  She thought the falls were in the wilderness.

Worst two wins in Jets history.   They could have had Lawrence.  Not that he would have done significantly better these past three games, but Trevor is far likelier to succeed.

I don’t. I love it. I use it all the time with my friends who are fans of the New Jersey Jets and Giants. Just like I’ll always add the * when talking about the Pats*. Facts matter haha.

 

There is only one team that plays and practices in the state of New York and that is your Buffalo Bills.

I remember watching a segment about Kodak corporation on CNBC where Melissa Lee was talking about Rochester NY being "small town America".

 

I'm like WTF?   Small town America?

 

Talk about clueless.

Do you know every little town in every state in this country? Why is it hard to believe that some people don't know about Buffalo?

Not really my point.  I found it humorous that some people view our entire state looking like Manhattan. No offense intended.

Has Darnold been ruined? Or did the Jets waste their opportunity with him? Seems like he's doing OK in Carolina. 

Jets trading Darnold for an unproven Wilson who will be the next Josh Rosen is going to go down as one of the Jets biggest blunders of all time.

My cousins from Nevada when they came here a few years ago said "maybe we could do a day trip to NYC."  I told them it is 8 hours away, they were shocked.  

 

My father worked for a paper plant north of Syracuse, owned by a German company.  They would have execs from Germany come, and ask about going to see things like Niagara Falls or NYC, and would be surprised to find it wasn't a quick easy trip.

Giants owner John Mara this past Sunday. Per the Daily News he was pissed.

I'm a Bills fan and I've never given it a first thought, let alone a second.

 

I actually don't get what it's all about.

 

OK, 2 NYC market teams play in NJ, right smack in the middle of the greater NYC metro area, and that is technically not in NYS.  Who gives a F?  How does this matter?  With regard to anything?

Yeah - Geography is a bitc* in this state.  
 

My lab in Rochester was hiring and a recruiter hooked us up with a candidate that lived in the Bronx.  We set up a phone interview - assuming the guy was going to move to the area.  Nope - he thought he could commute to Rochester daily from the city.  Even better his only transportation was a bike - he never got (nor needed) a drivers license.  

 

The interview was enlightening as he assumed he could ride his bike to the train and get here in like 30 minutes.  
 

🤦‍♂️

Lucky you didn't hire him. I wouldn't want a guy on my team who goes into an interview without having looked at a map to see where the place is, even if it's only to determine how far it is from train stops.

For me - I don’t care about it if they want to talk about New York Teams and included the Bills in that discussion.  
 

I believe it ticks most people off because they talk about the NY teams as if only the NYJ and NYG play in NY and the Bills are some Pennsylvania or Ohio team.

 

That then has become a rallying point - don’t say NY unless you mean all 3 or we are going to turn it around and point out the 2 NYC teams technically play in NJ.

 

If the media wants to lump the 2 teams together without Buffalo - talk about NYC teams - not New York teams.

 

I honestly just think it is hilarious and love it when a guy like Josh uses it to drive the dagger a bit deeper in his interviews.

I was ticked at the recruiter also as not only did they do a poor job of screening, but never even helped the poor guy understand.  
 

He was a recent grad and I am pretty sure we were his first or second ever interview.  Even after realizing the issue - we still completed the interview just to give him some experience.

Well, there is Amtrak.  But the cost and time for a back and forth every day would cost a lot more than he would have made.

I think that was marshawn 

No it was Thurmon at least in the 30 for 30 and his NFL Films presents interviews.  Maybe Lynch, too as he always had too many skittles in his mouth.

 

I really dont care as there is only one NYS NFL team, and I remind the guys at the gym down here when they bring up the Jets or Giants.  The typical NJ...  And they always are like cmon.  My response is a typical Bills one (all in fun).  where do they play, where do they practice, where do more than half of them live?  Riiiggghht.  N.

[Fixxxer]

this seems pertinent...
