Sorrentino has advice for Rodgers now that he'll be spending some time in Jersey. The Jets play their home games at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
“First off all, in Jersey, we don't pump our gas, we pump our fists,” Sorrentino said. “There is another phrase, yield or die. The Jersey drivers are very aggressive. Now that we got Rodgers, it's only right that we get 'Jersey Shore' in the building to support as well.”
Maybe a sit down with Rodgers at a Jersey eatery is in the offing.
“Everybody knows when you come to Jersey, you're probably going to get the best pizzas, the best bacon, egg and cheese, the best Italian," said Sorrentino, a native of Manalapan who lives in Holmdel. "So he's in a really good place, so we're very happy for him as well.”
