We recently completed the 2025 JetsFix Mailbag. However, as the offseason endures, it seems unfair to hog the limelight. Therefore, as an experiment, it’s time to turn things back on you. This time, as an experiment, WE ask the questions and YOU answer them. As before, it’s one Jets/NFL question paired with one non-NFL question. You can answer as many pairs of questions as you like (respond here in the comments section), but if you answer any question, you must also answer the question it is paired with:
QUESTION ONE:
Jets/NFL:
Obviously Garrett Wilson and Quinnen Williams will start and be key contributors this season. However, who is your pick for the other starting wide receiver and defensive tackle and why?
Non-NFL:
There was recently an exhibition at the local museum about the worst album covers of all-time. Here’s a taste:
Which of these are your “favorites” or do you have any contenders for album covers that are even worse than these?
QUESTION TWO:
Jets/NFL:
Take any current or former NFL player’s name and replace the main vowel sound in their first and second name to create an alternative name. So Tom Brady might become Tim Brody, Breece Hall might become Bruce Hill and Mickey Shuler might become Mucky Sheila.
What’s the best name you can come up with?
Non-NFL:
What do you make of the latest controversies surrounding Caitlin Clark and the WNBA? Seems like she’s in some incident where she is supposedly being either cheap-shotted, victimized by poor officiating, bad-mouthed by opponents or snubbed by her teammates every time she takes the court.
And the online vitriol towards both her (“She’s a man!”) and any of her main rivals (“They’re all men!”) seems a little out of pocket too, to say the least.
She’s brought eyeballs to the league but a lot of the attention the league is getting is negative. Where does the league go from here?
QUESTION THREE:
Jets/NFL:
It’s August 2025 and the New England Patriots have just been thrown out of the NFL after the true extent of all their cheating between 2000 and 2020 has been uncovered. The league acts quickly, announcing an expansion draft for the AFC East’s newest team, to be based in London.
The rules are as follows:
- The expansion draft takes place five days after final cuts down to 53
- You have to leave FIVE players unprotected
- These players cannot be a kicker or punter
- They also cannot be a rookie
- They must be under contract in 2026
- If one unprotected player is selected, you can protect one of the remaining four
- If another unprotected player is selected, you can protect the last two but also can opt to leave them unprotected so more than two are selected.
What is your strategy for the Jets? Who do you protect, which stars do you leave unprotected and is there anyone you’d give up for compensation or an agreement not to touch someone you’re leaving unprotected?
Non-NFL:
Think back to the last time you cried, bled or had a dream. What happened?
QUESTION FOUR:
Jets/NFL:
It is 2027 and after the previous year’s US-hosted world cup created an international controversy in terms of whether soccer should be called football or football should be called American Football, Roger Goodell proposes an (American) football world cup with the winner determining who gets to use the term “football” from now on.
After negotiations with FIFA (or should that be SIFA…or FISA…or SISA?) the rest of the world’s (American) football teams agree to participate in the tournament on one condition…that the US entry is the New York Jets to give the rest of the world a chance of winning.
Goodell agrees, so the Jets head to this tournament to face the other countries of the world. Which nations would beat the Jets to end up winning medals and why?
Non-NFL:
Simple one: What is the best animated movie of all time? And of the last five years?
QUESTION FIVE:
Jets/NFL:
Tell us about the last time (or a memorable time) when you had a real-life encounter with a Jets player or coach, whether at a game/practice/event or just out in society.
Non-NFL:
Life skills: It literally ruins my day when I just want to be left alone but someone from a charity or a power company or cable company or whatever stops me in the street and tries to start up a dialog. I even had an irritating child stopping me to try and sell me some artwork he made or something. I usually just keep walking and say “no thanks” or just blank them completely but even doing that makes me uncomfortable.
What’s the best way to handle such people? Any creative comebacks you’d suggest to get them to leave you alone? Or should I just get over it?
QUESTION SIX:
Jets/NFL:
Which Jets moment in franchise history has caused you the most pain?
Non-NFL:
What moment in your life has caused you the most actual (physical) pain?
Thanks in advance for all your responses. Stick around over the next few months for plenty more coverage heading into the season…
