Joe Netsfan | Backlash 2003



				Backlash #14 - July 1, 2004 Back On The Titanic New! The last blast before vacation - and you're no less pleased than you were yesterday. Inside this final 2003 - 2004 Backlash, you compare the Nets to a sinking ship, return only to say so long and I told you so (again), request we start a Bruce Ratner nickname page, threaten to walk away if the move to Brooklyn goes through, and much more...Read on... Backlash #13 - June 30, 2004 An Open Letter To Rod Thorn New! We end the 2003 - 2004 edition of the Nets' season with a Backlash featuring a hope and a plea. The hope? For the Nets to trade for Shaquille O'Neal. The plea? For new owner-to-be Bruce Ratner to go back where he came from. Other things on your mind: max. contracts, Jay Z and the status of Jason Kidd. Read on... Backlash #12 - June 22, 2004 Downward Spiral New! Ooh, the seeds of revolution are starting to sprout. Is it back in the trash for Netsfans? You've taken the rumors of cost cutting, trades and salary dumps to heart, and you're not happy about it. NJAmericans67 takes on ticket prices going up, the talent level apparently on it's way down, and wonders how that's supposed to add up for Netsfans. Plus, Bruce "Rat" Ratner, the draft, trades and thoughts of going on strike. The times, they are a changin'...Read on... Backlash #11 - June 12, 2004 More Assistant GM's For Hire New! More thoughts from you, on free agent signings, the draft, and potential trades to keep things interesting this off-season. Plus, why must the Nets' in-game entertainment and slogans be so lame? Read on... Backlash #10 - June 9, 2004 Open Letters To Rod Thorn New! Want to know how to fix the Nets? In our latest end-of-season Backlash, one and all opine on the best moves that Rod Thorn should be making to get the team back on track. Also, more Donny Marshall love, and a inquiry into splitting a season ticket package. It's all here... Backlash #9 - June 2, 2004 Take 'Em Back To Brooklyn We know you're frustrated about the meek ending to the season for this year's Net crew. The first of what will be many Backlashes in this offseason tackles your thoughts of disappointment, Rodney Rogers, the first thoughts on how to fix the Nets, and of course more efforts in the Keep The Nets in New Jersey project. Read on... Backlash #8 - April 2, 2004 Trust In Rod? New! More from the mailbag, on the eve of the playoffs...Read on... Backlash #7 - February 13, 2004 Were They Tanking It? New! To pass the time while the league, and the Nets, go dark to prepare for All Star weekend (and while Joe tries to catch up and file his "More Than First Half, More Like All Star Break" report), Joe's whipped up a new backlash. This one includes two from NetsNut (of course), asking the provocative question, "Were The Nets Tanking It?" as well as professing his joy with L. Frank, the latest from Leslie Montiero and Binky, a new nickname for Zoran, Veal T-Shirts and our Knick friend Cap'N Jay signs the petition. Read it all here... Backlash #6 - January 30, 2004 The Nets' Machine At Work Here's one from NetsNut on the state of everything Nets. It's a work of enormous proportions, so Joe gave it its very own Backlash... Read on... Backlash #5 - January 30, 2004 Keep The Nets In New Jersey \| Online Petition Since the deal was announced late on January 21, JNF has been flooded with hundreds of emails, pro and con, on the move to Brooklyn. Rather than respond to each and every one, I'm going to publish as many of your thoughts as I can. All I can say is, "See - you're not alone." Together we can make a difference, if you join up with us. Keep The Nets In New Jersey! Here are the first batch... Backlash #3 - December 12, 2003 Christmas Cheer New! Our latest Backlash is chock full of holiday spirit - that is, if you like things on the unsettled side. Tons of material on the Nets, like Nets Chick's attendance at the Nets annual Holiday party, questions about Rod Thorn losing his touch, NJAmericans67 game report against the Suns, Binky's latest, NetsNut's Byron Scott and The Sky Is Falling manifestos, double Matts, and thoughts on the Nets' attendance woes, the YES Network and more...Read on... Backlash #2 - November 9, 2003 The Return Of NetsNut New! Finally! Enough material for a Backlash. With everything going on in this young season, we'd think you'd be peppering us with your blasts...in today's edition, we find NetsNut picking up right where he left off, Binky's bashing of the Nets' promotional programs, Leslie Montiero dogging RJ, and Matt King's take on the Nets' roster. It's a start, anyway...Read on... Backlash #1 - September 22, 2003 No KMart Discount New! The season is drawing near, and it's time for us to get back to the business of JNF. Our first Backlash of 2003 - 2004, just to start getting you in the mood. The full contents of Binky's first blast, Ian Wells' musings over Kobe Bryant, a reader speaks out on negativity over the city of Newark and its arena plans, and some votes for the slogan of '03 - '04.
