StubHub Presents: Jets-Texans Ticket Giveaway, Enter Here To Win Two Tickets To Sunday's Game!

StubHub has revolutionized the way tickets are purchased. 

I think back a decade, and I remember what we had to go through to purchase tickets for a game that was sold out, or if we couldn't make it to the box office in time. We had to flag down "scalpers" at games, paying way too much money, and sometimes even getting ripped off.

And then StubHub entered the game in 2000, and everything changed. It was at this time, that the first legitimate outlet for purchasing tickets was founded.

I've used StubHub to purchase tickets for Jets games over the last five years, and will continue to. They even have a guarantee! With emergency options such as will call available for those of us that have a bad habit of forgetting tickets, you'll never be "shut out" of a game you've purchased tickets for.

I love StubHub, and everything they've done for the sports tickets industry. I love them even more, for sponsoring this giveaway I'm about to present to you all.



This Sunday, the Jets take on the Houston Texans

Who wants to go to the game? Well, let's see how badly you want to go. Either via commenting in this thread, or sending GGN a Tweet, we want you to tell us:

"In your eyes, what does it mean to play like a Jet?"

Along with your answer, please include your e-mail address or phone number so we can contact you. Whichever is preferred.

The staff members here at GGN will vote on what we think is the best answer, and the lucky winner will receive two tickets to Sunday's game which I have in my hand right now and will forward  instantly via e-mail. The contest will run for 24 hours, and will close at 6 P.M. eastern on Saturday, 11.20.2010.

Good luck, and PLAY LIKE A JET, BABY! And remember, thank the good people over at StubHub for this opportunity.

"In your eyes, what does it mean to play like a Jet?"

Playing like a Jet is playing with your hair on fire, and playing relentless.
Being selfless, and truly doing anything for the team and coaching staff.
Always passionate, never down, and always willing to pick the teammates up!!

Paraphrasing from a Rex Ryan Quote

“The Jets are coming, and we’re going to give you everything we got. And I think that’s going to be more than you can handle.”

Giving everything we got is playing like a Jet. ala Jericho Cotchery in the last game.

To me it means the history of a Pretty Boy and a Legendary Prediction

And the present of a hard nose blue collar team that wins it in the trenches and players like Art Monk, Wayne Chrebet, Curtis Martin among a litany of others who left it all on the field.

Playing Like a Jet- not only for the Jets

Playing like a Jet means leaving it all out on the field, win or lose. It means honoring yourself, your peers, and everyone else around you. It breeds an unbridled and unmatched passion for any task, football or other. Playing like a Jet isn’t restricted to those wearing a Jets uniform, but to those who support the Jets uniform. The togetherness, the pride, and the effort will always, regardless of record, result in victory.

Play Like a Jet

To me, playing like a Jet is more than just on-field performance. Playing like a Jet is giving it your all, 100% of the time. Tony Richardson is one of those guys that, year-round, is going to be working his butt off to make sure he doesn’t disappoint the team, and to make sure he’s going to be ready every Sunday. LaDainian Tomlinson worked harder this off-season than he ever has before to make sure he would be a contributing player. Mark Sanchez prepared as much as he could, in as many different ways as he could, to make sure that he could be counted on every Sunday. Playing like a Jet means going all-out during games and in practice to stay focused and ready to give the fans a show.

by bobdolethesnapplelady on Nov 19, 2010 6:25 PM EST reply actions  

It means....

Playing your hardest and givgiving 110% every down of every minute of every game, no matter what obstacles are in your way. Never give up, never surrender. You play with your heart and soul and always put the team first.

Playing like a Jet has many dimensions to it, but with one common goal… Winning.

1. Practice hard. If you aren’t trying in practice, it will show in the game
2. Have confidence in yourself, and in your teammates that everyone’s respective jobs will be taken care of
3. battle through adversity injury, off the field drama, deficit in the score, turnovers, anything
4. Never give up
5. When you are tired, play harder ‎"If you’re going through Hell, keep going." -W. Churchill
6. The team always comes before oneself
7. Ground and Pound!!
8. control the clock
9. make the other team remember that they just played you
10. no excuses
11. Even if you aren’t playing, have the mindset that you are
12. Have plenty of snacks

Let’s get a victory Sunday! 7-2 is great but 8-2 is a whole lot better

Get busy winning or get busy losing.

by GangGreenMag on Nov 19, 2010 6:45 PM EST reply actions  

13. when in a press conference always mention at least 2 players and a coach that made your success possible
14. if they take a swipe at one ours, take a swipe at two of theirs
15. If you don’t feel like hell at the end of the game, you are doing something wrong
16. You only have 1 day to think about the last game, then it is onto the next
17. Don’t forget to have fun

Get busy winning or get busy losing.

by GangGreenMag on Nov 19, 2010 7:21 PM EST up reply actions  

18. While the other team is going after the target on our back, we are going after the target on their chest
19. Not forgetting that you are a Jet off the field also
20. Everyone in the organization, including the media and fans are a family
21. never be satisfied, and always work to get better
22. take ownership for your mistakes
23. Fight for your brother lined up next to you.

Get busy winning or get busy losing.

by GangGreenMag on Nov 19, 2010 7:28 PM EST up reply actions  

24. Never apologize for winning
25. style points don’t count
26. If you don’t think you can, then you probably won’t
27. be able to make long lists of how to play like a Jet

Get busy winning or get busy losing.

"To Play Like A Jet"

Playing like a Jet is not being the best, it is the ability to never say “I quit”. When that ball is snapped, every split second is a moment of attempted excellence. Every down is a 4th and goal with 2 secs left and the game on the line. Every ounce of energy is dedicated to the team and nothing stands your way; not a 350 pound DT, crazy weather or injury… you break that tackle, split those up rights and make that spectacular catch. And then when that whistle blows, whether u move the sticks, throw an interception, score a touchdown or muff a kick… the level of effort given was always 100%. This is what it means to play like a Jet, the makings of a true champion.

Play like a Jet

People are overcomplicating this, I think it’s much simpler. Play like a champion. You’re better then everybody else, go in with that mentality and play hard and there’s nothing that can beat you. Smash mouth football all the way.

Playing like a Jet

Means giving hope to us everyday nobodies working hard throughout the week hoping to watch our team dominate on Sunday.
Means playing cleanly, fairly, but always with a passion.
Means that whatever the situation is, whatever happens, you give it all (J-Co catch in OT against the Browns).
Standing up for your fans and giving back to the community.
Winning, but also embracing mistakes in a loss and improving.

Showing us Jets fans that really, those SAME OLD Jets are history, no longer will Joe Namath embarrass us on public television, no longer will Herm Edwards create highlight reel material in the conference room, we will win and we will be proud of our team!

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!
Thanks for doing this Matt and also a shoutout to stubhub!

What does it mean to play like a Jet?

It means damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead, on every play. Emulate Jericho Cotchery’s actions in OT in the Cleveland game, not the injury, but the effort. Never give up; never surrender.

Play Like a Jet

Put yourself on the line and leave it all out on the field, for your team, not for yourself. Have the passion to compete against, and beat, the best. Not taking all the glory for yourself but sharing with the guys who helped you achieve it. Fear no one.

ALA: Jerricho Cotchery, Jim Leonhard, the O-line, etc…

Chrebet was the epitome of what it means to “play like the Jet” and we love him for it.

Playing like a jet

Take over the space that is yours, don’t let anyone else push you back, dive for every loose ball. Leave nothing on the field at the end of the game. Respect your opponent enough that you don’t take anything for granted. Treat the field as your battleground. Bring all the firepower that you have been trained to utilize. Realize the history of your great organization and that you are a representative of a great nation of fans who love you whether you win or lose. When the lights are on you thrive in the spotlight. 11 is the strongest number in the world when it is standing up, laying down it is a pancake, jets stand up when their number is called. Thanks Stub Hub for the opportunity to be the 12th and 13th men for this game. Steve @ 484-239-1629 or 610-433-8385 in Allentown, Pa.

With respect to Coolio....

To the music of Gansta’s Paradise:

As I walk through the Meadowlands and feel the chills
From givin’ beat downs to the Pats, the Fins and the Bills
Cuz I’ve been cheerin’ for the Green for so long
That it’s so damn easy to be writin’ this song
I aint never punched a Pats fan who didn’t deserve it
They may think they can play but the Jets they can serve it
The Green are my team, that’s the way it was meant
U all betta go cheer, go Gang Green, represent.

Been spendin’ all my life,
Livin’ in a Gang Green Paradise.
Been spendin’ all my life,
Livin’ in a Gang Green Paradise.

Either way, thanks GGN and StubHub for thinking of the fans….

The Jets are tough...

They play good football. Jets don’t give up. EVER. They are confident and know they are better than their oppponents. The Jets always play to win, they play hard, they play rough, and whether they win or lose…they make sure their opponents leave the game thinking, “wow I’m dizzy” or that they leave the field each play thinking “what just hit me?” Once their day starts, everything is put aside and it’s time to get ready to fight til’ the end. The Jets refuse to break and refuse to let anyone push them around, they don’t take $%^& from anybody. That’s what it means to play like a Jet.

by Scott Bialor on Nov 20, 2010 11:29 AM EST reply actions  

A Jet is loud. A Jet is fast. A Jet is a fearsome machine, and will not compromise. People stop when they hear one coming, to look overhead and behold it’s power, as it speeds relentlessly toward a destination from which it will not, and can not be denied.
