'Fire John Idzik' creators start 'Knicks4Sale' site

The fed up Jets fans who brought you FireJohnIdzik.com have set their sights on a new scourge: Knicks owner James Dolan.


Four New Jersey residents, including Jason Koeppel and his brother Jared, have launched Knicks4Sale.com, which says, "Hey Dolan: Sell the Knicks ... buy the Nets!" on the top of the front page. It was inspired by the nasty email Dolan wrote in response to a letter from a longtime fan and calls for donations to put up a billboard right outside Madison Square Garden.

Jason told ESPNNewYork's Mike Mazzeo about the letter that made them create the site:

"It was the 'Idzik news conference moment.' That's what we called it — when we decided that management and ownership had gone too far and it was time for the fans to do something. This email that he had the nerve to send to one of his fans was the moment. We talked last night — the four of us — and just said, you know what, we've had enough and we've gotta do something."

Their goal is to raise $20,000 in the remaining 59 days left in the campaign. They've already raised over $200 as of Tuesday morning.

Can't wait to see the tiny banners droning around The Garden.

'Jets rebuilding since 1969' banner flies over MetLife Stadium before game (PHOTO)

A little less than two hours before kickoff between the Jets and Steelers on Sunday, a small plane flew over MetLife Stadium with a banner that read "Jets rebuilding since 1969."



It was the second time in five days, a disgruntled New York Jets fan took to the sky to express disappointment with the current state of the team. 




Although there wasn't a "Fire John Idzik" banner in the sky — like the one that made news last Wednesday — a fancy billboard with the same sentiment turned up near the stadium.


Considering that Jets ended a seven-game losing streak with Sunday's 20-13 win over the Steelers, it's easy to call this a banner week for Gang Green.
