00:15 What's up Playmakers? This is BMW's Tailgate Tour.
00:18 For fans of football, Sunday's way more than a game.
00:22 It's an experience to come out, have fun, and that's what we're about to do.
00:26 We're about to check out what your favorite fans are doing in their tailgate.
00:30 And as always, I'm riding up in a BMW X5 Hybrid.
00:34 Let's go check it out.
00:36 [Music]
00:40 Alright, so you guys know, 13 years all in New England.
00:43 But what I admire is this energy that Jets fans always bring.
00:48 Tell me, what is the key thing that you always have to have at your tailgate?
00:52 Loyalty and beers, baby. Loyalty and beers. That's all you need.
00:56 What is the best thing that y'all got cooking up?
00:59 Grill, you got the snacks. What's the go-to?
01:02 Burgers all day. Burgers all day.
01:04 It's activity.org over here. You know, we getting busy.
01:08 What do you need to see from the Jets as we close out the season?
01:12 We got a few games left. What do you want to see from this team?
01:15 Zach Wilson doing something, baby. He's slinging the ball. He's doing alright.
01:18 So let's just keep it going.
01:20 I love it, man. Zach Wilson energy still in the building.
01:23 Zach Wilson still here. Can we get one more J-E-T-S?
01:26 J-E-T-S! Jets! Jets! Jets!
01:31 [Cheering]
01:32 You can't imagine how it would be in the middle of a J-E-T-S chant.
01:35 J-T-s and Jets, they're both bad this year, so nobody cares.
01:39 Let's celebrate that.
01:41 And we got Washington. We got New York, but we got Soda.
01:46 We got Soda. Soda, what are you bringing to this game?
01:50 Obviously, you're going to be very busy tomorrow.
01:52 But today, most people will be planning, resting because of a busy night.
01:57 But you're here checking out the game. What are you expecting?
02:00 Just got to bring Christmas cheer to the NFL.
02:02 You know, we didn't get football games on Christmas Eve.
02:04 Santa's got to show up, too. Come on.
02:06 Are you bringing the Christmas spirit more to Washington or more to New York?
02:10 Depends who you ask. It depends who you ask.
02:12 We are--Santa's a Richmond, Virginia implant today,
02:15 but he's going to rock the Jets gear because we're in New York, New Jersey.
02:19 Would Santa rather be rocking the Washington gear?
02:22 He might. He might. He might.
02:24 But he's got the Jets today, so that's neither here nor there.
02:26 Okay, I can respect that. Surrounded by a bunch of Jets fans saying the right thing.
02:31 What has been the best part of your holiday season so far, Santa?
02:35 You can pull that down a little bit. It's getting hot.
02:39 Family and friends. Family and friends is what it's all about.
02:43 Yeah, we came to see a football game, but we got Santa in the building.
02:47 That's more important. Bring a holiday cheer everywhere. Let's go.
02:51 The Jets energy is still here today. We were over there earlier.
02:55 So I got to ask you guys. I'm going to start with you.
02:58 Top thing that you bring to every tailgate?
03:02 This truck.
03:04 Tell me about the truck. What's the origin story? What made you go get it?
03:08 This is the third truck. We had an original truck back from 1972 that had no power steering and no power brakes.
03:15 So it would slide behind the wheel and die.
03:19 Then we got another truck that was like a 1987. This one is brand new.
03:24 And I'll tell you the funny story because my wife's not here.
03:27 She wanted me to give up my Jets tickets. I went out and bought a brand new truck.
03:32 So basically you tell all young husbands, do what you want and your wife will understand?
03:37 When it comes to the Jets games.
03:40 What made you such a diehard Jets fan? How did it start?
03:45 I'm 71 years old. That's all I've learned is being a Jets sufferer and a Mets sufferer.
03:51 That's all I can do is suffer. It's better than going to church, my friend.
03:56 This is legendary because I go to work with two Jets fans and every week we watch the games.
04:02 He starts off with, "I don't care. We're going to lose."
04:05 And then he gets right in the game and he's going nuts.
04:07 And he says, "This is what it feels like to be a Jets fan."
04:10 So hopefully today, hold on, now as a Jets fan, do you want the team to win?
04:16 Or would you rather them lose and get a higher draft pick?
04:20 Depends on how much Irish whiskey I drink today.
04:24 I like that answer. Week 18, Jets Patriots.
04:28 Give them a J-E-T everybody.
04:30 J-E-T, that's Jets, Jets, Jets!
04:34 So are we excited to see Zach Wilson today?
04:37 He's not starting. I thought Simeon was starting.
04:39 You're right. Trevor Simeon is starting. The Jets fan's always on it.
04:44 What's the feeling going with Trevor Simeon?
04:46 Veteran quarterback, playing in a bunch of different systems, got in a little bit a few weeks ago.
04:51 How are we feeling?
04:52 I'm nervous regardless. I wish him the best and I hope for the best. That's all you can do.
04:57 But, you know, like I said, hope for the best.
05:01 He's played the game before. He's got the record and stuff.
05:04 He's started before, so hopefully he can bring that over and we can get something going.
05:08 When in doubt, always wear a Jets defensive jersey?
05:11 Of course. You can never go wrong with a defensive player here.
05:15 Favorite defensive player on the team? Is it Quentin Williams or is it somebody else you just like to not find?
05:20 I like Quentin. He rocks, man. Big Q.
05:23 Big Q. Always plays these hard. Can't ask for more than that.
05:28 I love seeing him and Quincy. Every time I see them at a game, I tell them I'm all for brothers playing football.
05:33 Me and my twin brother got to do it, so it's a lot of fun watching them.
05:37 Especially on the same team, too. That's unheard of.
05:40 The next step is they're going to win some games.
05:42 They need to get some Pro Bowls. They need to get the Pro Bowls, both of them, and then just start saying, win some games.
05:46 Start building the offensive line.
05:48 I think they get that Pro Bowl this year. They both deserve to be in the Pro Bowls.
05:51 Quincy's killing it. He's playing one of the best linebackers in the league.
05:54 Coverage, inside the box, everything.
05:56 Hold on. We've got a young Jets fan here. What do you love most about the Jets?
06:01 That even though they have terrible offense, they always come back with their defense.
06:06 And being a young fan, you know, I got to watch some defense.
06:09 You can find out who's favorite defensive player on the team.
06:13 You've been watching for years. Who's your favorite defensive player?
06:18 Probably Sauce because when he's covering Tiger Killer, something like that, he knocks it out of the end.
06:26 So, he helps us get the ball to the floor and stuff like that.
06:29 I also like Quincy. I like to go boom.
06:33 [Laughter]
06:35 Stuff like that. I like that.
06:38 I love it. So, I'm going to tell your parents for Christmas to hook you up with those Sauce Diamond Chain.
06:44 That'll look good on you right there.
06:46 Santa, Mom, and Daddy are going to bring Sauce for Christmas.
06:50 There we go. Sauce Garner Chain coming tomorrow. Christmas. Let's go.
06:54 As always, you know I'm here in style with the BMW X5 Hybrid.
06:59 I've been in a lot of SUVs, but nothing touching this.
07:02 Let me show you. Let me show you what we're working with in the trunk.
07:12 You can see right here we've got all this trunk space, all the tailgate essentials ready to go.
07:18 Man, that's it for me here at the New York tailgate.
07:21 Time for me to hit the road, but we all know we'll see you at the next stop on the tailgate tour.
07:26 I think the Hybrid, just no noise. The ride is so smooth.
07:30 Just riding in and leaving the stadium now. It's just been a great ride.
07:35 I think BMW did an awesome job.
07:37 Obviously, when you drive a car, you love the performance aspect.
07:41 But I think one of the things that don't always get talked about is when you get in a car, the interface, what things look like.
07:47 That's what you're doing all the time when you're in the car.
07:50 You're touching buttons. You're doing things.
07:52 The BMW, they crushed everything. The look of the inside.
07:55 Like I said earlier, it makes you feel like you're in a spaceship.
07:58 It just makes you feel like you're about to take on the ultimate challenge.
08:02 And everybody's watching because you're in a BMW and the car is so beautiful.
08:07 Thanks BMW for even letting me drive today. I enjoyed it.
