As a Jersey guy, working in the New York metropolitan area or never too far away from it has always been important to him.

Neither of us Jersey guys had ever heard of the place.

Or at least this Jersey guy is hoping it will.

As she puts it, her husband is "a classic Jersey guy."

He being a Jersey guy and myself, there was something more than building a football program at a university.

But hey, you're a Jersey guy so I defer to you.

But whatever happens, it won't be just another game for Parcells the Jersey guy.

For now, any role - cop, mob man or Jersey tough guy - sounds good to him.

He talks to them, one Jersey guy to another, as if they were back in the neighborhood.

You would never know he was a Jersey guy if he wasn't so emphatic about it.
