NYPD hunting three men in Jets jerseys for wild St. Patty's Day brawl (VIDEO)

Three men wearing New York Jets jerseys are wanted for attacking two teens during a St. Patty’s Day brawl outside of a Midtown Manhattan pub before taking it on the lam.


The three men, wearing green and white Gang Green jerseys with the numbers 12, 87, and 23, got into a verbal argument inside of O’Brien’s Irish Bar and Restaurant on W. 46th St., according to officials from the NYPD. The arguments quickly turned violent in the street outside of the bar, as the two teenagers were punched and kickedby the attackers and beaten with bottles.

Pix11 reported reported that the two teens were transported to Bellevue Hospital with facial fractures after the pummeling.

NYPD released photos of the three attackers on Thursday.





One of the teens is left lying in the middle of the street after the attack, according to a video of the brawl, which was posted on Facebook by Anthony Rooar Decarlis.



B-E-E-R! Beer! Beer! Beer!

'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.

What '5 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Jets Fan' is like (VIDEO)

Everybody seems to have viewed that viral video “10 Hours Walking In NYC As A Woman“ and the catcalling expose has become an easy target of parody.

Now, one man decided to exchange his figure-hugging jeans and top for a New York Jets T-shirt and cap, and proves things actually aren't any better for Gang Green fans.



Comedian Jay Nog co-wrote, edited, and starred in what he says on Twitter is a parody titled "5 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Jets Fan" — and it is funny. 




The only thing worse might be walking around as a Knicks fan.

Jets fans start "Fire John Idzik" website: Report

After years of quarterback letdowns, underachieving players and lousy coaches, one group of Jets fans have had their fill and are directing their frustration at one single person, the current head of the whole mess — general manager John Idzik.

Four fans' disappointment with the 1-and-7 team came to a head after listening to Idzik’s rambling news conference on Monday and they decided to take matters into their own hands — or more precisely, their fingertips.




“We were so disgusted after the game on Sunday, that the last thing we wanted to hear was that ridiculous press conference,” said Jason Koeppel, one of the site’s creators.

Koeppel, along with his brother Jared and friends Matthew Wolferman and Greg Kohler called each other after Idzik’s rambling comments Monday and decided to put this site together with the goal of putting a "Fire John Idzik" billboard in the Meadowlands.

"Join other long suffering Jets fans in our quest to rid the organization of our CLOWN GM. Our goal is to raise enough money to purchase a billboard in the vicinity of MetLife Stadium and let the Jets know that their most loyal fans are demanding change. 

"Show Woody that we paid our PSL's. We put up with the massive rip-off that is MetLife Stadium and the absurd price of tickets & concessions. But we will no longer put up with John Idzik running the show." 

According to Koeppel, a 35-year-old season-ticket holder from Hackensack, fans who donate a certain amount get a T-shirt with a logo. He said it will cost around $10,000 to buy the billboard. The site had raised around $500 in the first 24 hours.



The site also has a slideshow labeled the "Idzik Hall of Shame" which highlights his biggest blunders as general manager. And, although Idzik didn't make the call, it includes a photo of T.J. Graham lying down in the end zone on the bumbled "Hidden Player" trick play during last Sunday's blowout loss to the Bills.



Koeppel is hoping the site gets contributions from other angry Jets fans before they send their specific gripes to team owner Woody Johnson.

Jets fan arrested for knocking out Bills fan at MetLife Stadium: Report (VIDEO)

New Jersey State Police have arrested the Jets fan who was videotaped knocking out another man wearing a Bills jersey during Buffalo's blowout of New York at MetLife Stadium Sunday.



According to PIX11, the man wearing the Jets jersey — Christopher Fox from Peekskill, N.Y. — attempted to flee the scene after brutally punching out the fan in a No.81 Bills jersey, but was grabbed by the state troopers, arrested and charged with simple assault.

A witness originally told TMZ Fox exited without being caught.

"His immediate arrest is credited to Metlife’s state-of-the-art surveillance system which features a mega-pixel system that provides un-disrupted video coverage throughout every part of the venue," wrote PIX11's Andrew Ramos.

A NJ Advance photographer captured the moment that Fox (wearing a No. 10 Chad Pennington jersey) was pointed out by another Jets fan and was grabbed by security:



Here's the video first posted by TMZ that shows the knockout punch:




The unconscious victim was taken to an area hospital where he was evaluated. The man suffered no serious injury, officials said.

Jets fan knocks Bills fan out cold at MetLife Stadium (VIDEO)

Jets players had plenty to feel punchy about while being blown out by the Bills at MetLife Stadium Sunday. And one Jets fan in the stands took out his manly frustration on a Bills spectator with a brutal, one-punch knockout of the visitor.



TMZ posted a cell phone video of the Jets fan (in a No. 10 Chad Pennington jersey) throwing a punch in the stands in a fight with another dude in a Bills jersey. The blow appeared to knock the Bills fan unconscious. "He's still down," someone says on the video. TMZ reported the fight broke out "right after the Bills started pulling away."





Witnesses also said the fan who threw the punch exited before security came. One told the site, "The Bills fan had been shooting his mouth off before the fight and the Jets fans took exception."

It did not appear the Bills fan suffered "serious injury."


The State Police told TMZ they have "very good footage" of the entire incident from their state-of-the-art surveillance system — and warn others, "Anyone would be a fool to commit a crime inside MetLife Stadium."

J-E-T-S. Losers on the field. Losers in the stands.

Young Jets fan loudly exercises 1st Amendment rights (VIDEO)

This little New York Jets fan may have irked a few other fans with his loud rooting,
but you have to hand it to the the kid for exercising his 1st Amendment rights even louder when they tried to hush him up.

The youngster took over a nosebleed section at a Jets home game (you can tell by the number of empty seats) and screamed "in your face" about a dozen times at some nearby fans. The green-clad terror cheered a play (don't get too used to it kid) and told his critics to "shut your mouth off" when they tried censure his tiring mantra.

The budding legal rights advocate just might be MetLife Stadium's newest most-annoying Jets fan since Fireman Ed departed.  Well ... at least the littlest.

Rex Ryan poses with fan wearing 'This Team Makes Me Drink' T-shirt

Jets fans may have lost their hearts after the past couple of seasons but that doesn't mean they still can't find a little humor in their epic slide into Margaritaville. And the same goes for Rex Ryan it seems.

During a relaxing night on the town in Cortland, N.Y.,  following the second day of training camp, the Jets head coach and his staff ran into this fan wearing a Jets' green and white T-shirt with the words "This Team Makes Me Drink" emblazoned on the front.


The good-natured Ryan even posed for a photo with Joseph Grinwis — the T-shirt wearing fan who cautiously approached the coach to ask for the midnight shot.

Grinwis said he first saw Ryan ("had a water") in the Dark Horse Tavern and spoke with the head coach, telling him how much he loved the Jets. He said that Ryan was appreciative of his support and the effort he made to come up to training camp.

And even seemed fine with the bold T-shirt poking fun at his team.

“He looked at it and laughed,” Ginwis said. “He didn’t make a comment. He just laughed.”

Bart Scott to hecklers: I am one of the best athletes in the world and you got picked last in dodgeball

New York Jets fans had a loud message for the team as it walked to the MetLife Stadium locker room at halftime — following the 28-point outburst by the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving — and they made even the raunchiest Gang Green fan blush.

Video of the verbal assault has gone viral and just compounds the problems circling the struggling team.

Now Bart Scott is firing back at the hometown fans who mercilessly heckled the Jets players as they headed off the field:

"At the end of the day, if you made it to be able to put an NFL uniform on, then you are one of the best athletes in the world," Scott told The New York Daily News.  "The person yelling at you probably was picked last in dodgeball all through high school.  So do you care about the opinion of them? No."




The vicious comments directed at the Jets were met with surprisingly little acknowledgement  by the team— until yesterday.

Scott claims he didn't hear the fans spewing the derogatory words — even though he was in earshot of the screams — maybe because he was still wearing his helmet.

When he was informed about the video, Scott just chalked it up to being used to the verbal hazing.

"That's what we always get.  We get stuff like that all the time," he said.  "Trust me, that's not out of the ordinary.  You get behind our bench while we are playing.  Trust me, there's been worse stuff said behind there."

When asked if the fans' unprintable comments are justified, Scott sounded like it went in one side of his helmet and out the other.

"Does it make it right?" he asked.  "Some of the personal attacks — I can only imagine."

Last Thursday's angry group congregated at the bottom of the Coaches Club section of the stadium — an area that the hangs over the players' path to the locker room.  The $700-per-game price tag comes with a minimum $20G PSL but can be scooped up at less money on the secondary market.

Scott wasn't surprised by the lack of class in the high-end seats.

"Those are the ones who feel more entitled," he said. "I would love to go to his job and see what he does and sit in his ear and talk stuff."




Scott understands that ticket-buying fans have a right to voice their opinions of the underachieving 4-7 Jets team.

"It comes with the territory," reasoned Scott. "The same people two years ago were cheering, 'We love you, we love.'  They love you, they hate you.  That's what you sign up for.  As long as they don't put their hands on you, who cares what they say.  Because they don't know that they don't know.  We're doing something that they couldn't do."

Dodgeball anyone?
