It’s not a fantasy league: The objective is to make money by connecting Jets fans on Facebook, where they can predict scores or stats, hold virtual tailgate parties and even communicate with players on off-days.
While building a contender on the field, the Jets organization has been developing the team’s marketing muscle through social media. It’s a trend that picked up speed in the sports world when Dallas Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban began talking directly to fans online instead of giving interviews to newspapers, radio and television reporters.

The next move will be getting the game on the iPhone.
