Don’t take it the wrong way, but the Jets taking a lot of toilet paper with them to London likely serves a dual purpose. The team is not the best, and given their history, it’s almost comical that they would resort to such things. But at the same time, it’s practical. It makes a lot of sense. You get used to a certain thing and you want to keep things the way you know.
That’s what led to the decision to order 350 rolls of tee-pee for the trip to London according to BBC News. Keeping the creature comforts of home intact:
Mr Shpigel said this was how it was explained to him by the Jets’ senior manager of team operations Aaron Degerness: “There was an intern who had been over to London numerous times.
“He noticed when he was there that – and I quote – ‘the toilet paper was very thin because their plumbing isn’t as good’.
“So, the intern informed the operations staff, and the Jets ordered 350 rolls of toilet paper for the hotel and the stadium.”
I want to counter with this: what happens when these Jets players clog up the toilets at the stadium and go on the field with poo-filled cleats and socks that are soaked in toilet water? Is this a cunning strategy or typical Jets stupidity? Apparently it’s the former:
“More than anything I think it speaks to the level of detail to which the Jets approached the planning.
“Basically, if they could so something that they thought the travelling party would appreciate, then they would,” he added.
Why not just replace all the plumbing in the stadium? Tear out the old junk and bring in some powerful American equipment that can suck the pants right off the opposing team and force them to give up. Bring a wide selections of tonics, creams, and balms too, just to make sure the bathroom experience is up to snuff.
Mark Sanchez is probably happy he’s gone from New York. The butt fumble seems so much worse right now.
