Jets bringing their own to toilet paper to London because “why not?”
The Jets and Dolphins play in London Sunday. The game kicks off at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time.
So, both teams are clearly out of their comfort zones and usual game-week routines this week. On a long list of ways to combat that, the Jets have apparently chosen to delve deep into details.
Better thick than sorry.
Per a New York Times story posted Thursday, among the supplies the Jets shipped to London ahead of the team this week were 350 rolls of two-ply toilet paper to replace the thinner version used in England.
“Some may say that’s a little over the top or whatnot, but it didn’t really cost that much, so why not?” the Jets’ senior manager of team operations, Aaron Degerness, said in the story. “We’re basically trying to replicate everything that we’re doing here over there.”
According to the story, the Jets packed more than 5,000 items — ranging from cereal and extension cords to gauze pads and wrist bands — onto a ship containing supplies for all six N.F.L. teams playing in London this season. The team also flew the head chef of the London hotel at which it will be staying in to observe how the food is made and served at the team’s headquarters and hired an industrial launderer to pick up soiled practice clothing at one location and deliver it clean to another.
Details, man.
The Jets’ traveling party of about 220 will spend all of about 65 hours in England — and almost everything will apparently feel just like it does at home.
