I am mulling NFL retirement

I wanted to talk you guys about a decision I’ve been thinking about for a few hours now. After hearing the news about Jamal Adams today, I have decided that it might be time for me to hang up the cleats and call it a career.

What people need to understand is that the New York Jets are literally my life. The person I am is because of the Jets. I constantly think about the Jets and how they can be better. Nothing controls my life more than the New York Jets. They make me laugh, they make me cry, and when the Jets are good my life usually goes well too.

Exact examples:

(not to brag but yeah I scored a lot in my soccer days, no big deal)

Gang Green isn’t a great place right now and I’m ok with that. I’m used to that, part of me appreciates the grind of being bad because it makes those good times that much sweeter. For years now I have been waiting and waiting for their time in the spotlight, for someone to finally put some respect on the Jets (which will probably never happen).

What I am not a fan of is Jamal Adams leaving. To be honest, he’s the best thing to happen to the Jets in quite some time. He has given a pessimistic fanbase an optimistic outlook on the future. If he left I feel like the whole team would go down in shambles, he’s the heartbeat of the Jets. He brings the swagger, he gives the team some sort of identity.

 Hearing the news of him removing all the stuff from his social media bios and apparently unfollowed the team on instagram (apparently he never followed them on instagram in the first place?) has put me in a sour mood. I literally feel like I could throw up.

If Jamal is traded this year, I leave. Simple as that. I wouldn’t root for another, I wouldn’t even watch NFL football. I’d be #done with the NFL. I want nothing more than to keep rooting for the Jets so please don’t trade Jamal Adams.
