The NFL regular season is just over a month away and the New York Jets are focusing on the hard questions, such as this: As a child, was their favorite television channel Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, or Disney Channel?
Almost every child watched at least one of these three channels in the 1990s and 2000s. Their channel preference was practically a personality test. So which did the New York Jets’ players prefer?

Before practice, the Jets’ media team asked 34 players which was their favorite as a child. The full video is here.

Several players had multiple answers or changed it, but these are roughly their final picks. The final results are as follows:

- Nickelodeon: 11
- Disney: 9
As a Cartoon Network fan, I’m not shocked to see it in the top spot. Nickelodeon was a close second, but SpongeBob was not enough to overcome the sheer variety of shows Cartoon Network had in its prime.
