hlb37 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 you have to love the idea of a "secret coin toss". I think Woodie has a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinBlue Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 you have to love the idea of a "secret coin toss". I think Woodie has a point. I was thinking the same thing. "Here, there's a 50:50 chance you win.....wait here til I come back and tell you how you made out". Pretty shady stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lubeck Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 It was cheesy for them to have the Jets close out Giants Stadium so a big ole fuck you to Woody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balloonknot Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I think it would have went down differently had the jets not bitched and complained about it a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Giants and Jets to both play home games at new Meadowlands stadium Week 1 The Jets pushed and pushed and pushed to play the first home game at the new Meadowlands Stadium, even settling for a 50-50 coin toss. And when that didn't work, they kept on griping. In the end, they got their Week 1 home game ... one day after the Giants play theirs. The NFL announced this afternoon both teams will play home games in the first weekend of the 2010 regular season: the Giants on Sunday afternoon, the Jets on Monday night. "After extensive discussions with both teams, we have come up with what we believe is a unique approach for celebrating the opening of the new Meadowlands Stadium," commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. Those discussions (read: exchange of gripes) resulted in Goodell's deciding both teams had a reasonable case to play the first home game in the stadium they'll share. Of course, they couldn't possibly do it on the same day, so Goodell flipped a coin to determine which team would play first. Interestingly, the NFL's press release says Goodell flipped the coin last Friday, one day before the Jets posted on their web site a coin flip was to come. In the end, both teams got to open the season at home. This will mark the first time that has occurred since 1991 when the Jets played the Bucs on Sunday, and the Giants hosted the 49ers on Monday night. The opponents for the Giants and Jets will be announced "soon," according to the league. Again, the release said the Giants will play on Sunday afternoon, which means they won't be NBC's game of the week. The Jets' opener will mark the first Monday night game played at the Meadowlands since Dec. 26, 2005, when the Jets hosted the Patriots. The past two years, there have been no Monday games in East Rutherford because of construction-related concerns with traffic and parking on a workday. http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2010/03/giants_and_jets_to_both_play_h.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeMesiS Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Why can't they just open the new stadium against each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Why can't they just open the new stadium against each other? Cause we don't play the Jets this year. We play the AFC South this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayD Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 You know, it was one thing (as much as I hated it) when we were renting to the Jets. It really sucks that they own half the place. Giants should have moved alittle upstate, and sold the swampland to the Jets. I hate NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaNJ Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 He should have done the old, pick a number between 1 and 10 trick... I am just glad we do not get stuck missing the first Sunday of Football for a MNF game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeMesiS Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Cause we don't play the Jets this year. We play the AFC South this season. Yes, thank you Columbo for breaking that code for me. But I was think maybe the NFL can make an exception this year. Maybe of playing against the Seahawks this year, we can play the Jets instead.

JackStroud Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Ok but whose the home team? Do they turn the green or the blue lights on? The Jets are a playoff team....we, despite winning the SB 2 yrs ago are a team in transition. do you really want to substitute the Seahawks for the Jets? Let them open on Monday night....we suck on Monday nights Face it with the #1 D, O-Line, and running game in the NFL the Jets are right now, the better team......reality bites We need a light schedule in the beginning of the year to work in new starters, and get the rust off injured players Really all this fuss over who opens a jointly owned stadium is ridiculous......like a mud fight in the Our Gang comedy series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxRik Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Why can't they just open the new stadium against each other? Let's say for a moment I'm a Jets fan, and you're a Giants fan. We both hold season tickets that we paid umpteen thousands of $ for the PSL. Which one of us gets the seats? I'm sure Goodell doesn't want to get in the middle of that mess.
