Jets Nation

So ESPN had another of its SportsNation polls up on its website. (Am I the only one who has had enough of all the Nations? Red Sox Nation. Patriots Nation. It takes a Nation. Norman Nation. Enough.) This poll asked the simple -- and simply delicious -- question "Which team will have a better season? Broncos or Jets?"

Broncos or Jets? You mean Manning or Tebow. That's right, Tebow. It's so clear to everyone that Tebow will eventually rise from the bench and replace Mark Sanchez as the starting QB that we're already doing national polls comparing his former team and his current one.

Which will have the better season? Manning's Broncos or Rex Ryan's beloved New York Jets? I just had to weigh in on that. I happily clicked "Broncos" and saw the little blue and red result bars begin to race across the screen. The two bars (why wasn't the Jets bar green?) were neck and neck for about half a second and then the Jets' bar came to an abrupt stop while the Broncos bar kept on going and going and going... 79 percent of those who clicked said the Broncos would have the better season.

More than 130,000 people had voted. Less than 30 percent think the Jets will have a better season than the Broncos. Wow. I thought it would at least be close with all those New Yorkers voting. I moused over some of the states to see how the voting broke down. Colorado gave the Broncos 83 percent. No surprise there. Right here in Massachusetts the Broncos got an even higher 84 percent. No surprise there either.

Then I moused over New York. Broncos 69 percent. Jets 31.

Way to believe in your team Jets Nation.
