In exciting news for football fans, the NFL recently announced that the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Jets will face off in a highly anticipated Monday Night Football clash in Week 1 of the 2024 season. However, one person had quite a different reaction to this news - Mike Greenberg, the host of ESPN's "Get Up" and a fervent Jets fan.

Greenberg, a well-known supporter of the Jets, had a traumatic response upon being informed about the opening week matchup. He exclaimed, "Ladies and gentlemen, the only thing I asked for as the NFL schedule release came out, was to not let the Jets open on Monday night. And what was I just told? Hey Roger [Goodell], what did I do to you?"

Expressing his distress, Greenberg continued, "The Jets are opening Monday night at San Francisco against one of the toughest defensive lines in the world. I have seen this movie. It ends quickly and very, very badly. I'm saying this right now, this is not fair. I want an investigation. It is anti-large market bias."

The Jets' ardent fan went on to suggest that quarterback Aaron Rodgers should not be included in the trip, stating, "I don't think we should send Aaron on the trip. Get Zach Wilson back. Let him start Week 1."

The "Get Up" host's response to the news was so intense that he even had to remove his jacket during the television broadcast, as captured in a video posted on Twitter by the show's official account.

Greenberg's reaction highlights the intense emotions and high stakes that surround NFL match-ups, especially when beloved teams take the field. While some fans may share his concerns, others are eagerly looking forward to seeing how the Jets will fare against the formidable 49ers' defensive line.

The Monday Night Football clash between the 49ers and the Jets is sure to be an intense and highly anticipated contest, with both teams eager to start the season strong. As September approaches, football fans everywhere will be eagerly counting down the days until kickoff, savoring the excitement and suspense that come with the start of a new NFL season.
