The 2008 Dante’s Inferno

IMG_6566

In 2008 I as living in Vegas and fortunately for me the Jets played 4 games on the west coast that year. Unfortunately for me Brett Favre was their QB. Here’s the story of when I went to go see them in Oakland.   This was just a one day trip as got off work [...]

Same Old Jets

IMG_1465

Football season has returned which means that I’m hitting the roads again and following the Jets like stoners follow Phish. I made the 900 mile drive from my home in Atlanta to the Jets home opener. I stopped in Anderson SC to get gas. I mentioned by chance I was going to a football game. [...]

Photo Essay: Bolts and Colts

IMG_5900

In anticipation of tomorrow’s very important game between two teams I have no allegiance to, here’s a Photo Essay of an important game between two teams I have no allegiance to. Back in January 2009 I was unemployed, Brett Favre had just murdered the 2008 Jets and the Dolphins made the playoffs with Chad Pennington [...]

Turning the Tables at the Old Meadowlands

IMG_2818

I haven’t looked at these photos in a while and when I started doing this photo essay I was shocked by how antiquated the stadium looks. In this gallery I took photos from 3 very different points of view Sec 127, the end zone in the 100′s section and up in the 300′s section, so [...]

The JetLife Bowl

jets

Because of Hurricane Irene, the first annual Metlife (Jetlife) Bowl and the now-meaningful preseason game between the Jets and Giants, was pushed to Monday. This worked out well for me (Max O), because it meant that long time jets fan James and I (out on Long Island with our families during the storm) we were [...]

In 2008 I popped my Jets away game cherry, hitting up San Diego, Seattle and Oakland due to their proximity In 2009 I moved from Vegas to Atlanta. Upon moving to the Southeast I checked the Jets schedule to see if they were going to be playing anywhere close by. To my delight, they were, [...]

The Best of The Meadowlands 2010

IMG_9124

2010 was the inaugural season in The New Meadowlands. If you didn’t get to make it down there last year, this is what you missed. This shot from the train was my first glimpse of the New Meadowlands on the way to the preseason game vs. the Giants. I had seen it before when it was being [...]

Goodbye Horses

IMG_0061

  During my time working in Vegas as a photographer, I met (then) Chargers defensive tackle Jamal Williams. I remembered a few years back when the Chargers played the Broncos and their offensive line was dirtier than Dookie from “The Wire.” While Jamal was engaged with one blocker, another dove into his ankle, injuring it. [...]

The Paris of Indiana

IMG_2206

Between weeks 16 and 17 of last season I had my heart set on Kansas City. We knew the Jets were making the playoffs and, depending on a few week 17 outcomes, would be playing in either Kansas City or Indianapolis. I wanted to go to Kansas City first and foremost for the ribs, but [...]

The Last Game in Meadowlands History

IMG_1234

(The Old Meadowlands and I, back in the day) The old Meadowlands didn’t have the best reputation. People always dumped on it for being in a swamp in New Jersey, Jets fans hated the fact it so blatantly said “Giants (fucking) Stadium” on the side of it and the seats were blue and red. My [...]
