Beliefs • The JETS are the best football team • Ski-Skilly will bring judgment day when the JETS will play in the Super Bowl and win their 2nd championship • Ski-Skilly will bring Fireman Ed back to us • Ski-Skilly will bring back DarrelleRevis, Braylon Edwards, Dustin Keller, and Shonn Greene to us

  10. Rituals • Pray to Ski-Skilly before every game so the JETS will win • Retweet players’ tweets two times a day • Spray any and all haters in public settings • Make a pilgrimage to MetLife stadium at least once a year in which you must tailgate prior to kick off and participate in a Ski-Skilly prayer session among fans • Chant like Fireman Ed during every game • Celebrate Sept 24th every year as Revis Island Day . This marks the day that player DarellRevis ended his holdout and returned to the JETS. • Wear a NYJ jersey on every game day • Hang a JETS flag outside of our living quarters from the end of August until the beginning of February
