Please don't squeeze the Charmin: Jets ship 350 rolls of toilet paper to London

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. –- The New York Jets are not messing around when it comes to trying to make this trip to London as comfortable as humanly possible.

Among the more than 5,000 items the Jets sent to London for their game against the Miami Dolphins were 350 rolls of toilet paper according to The New York Times.

The franchise that brought us the "Butt Fumble" apparently isn’t chancing anything with the thinner toilet paper across the pond.

“Some may say that’s a little over the top or whatnot, but it didn’t really cost that much, so why not?” Aaron Degerness, Jets senior manager of team operations, said to The Times. “We’re basically trying to replicate everything that we’re doing here over there.”

The Jets had items such as cereal, extension cords, gauze pads and wrist bands transported on a ship that also contained supplies for all the other NFL teams playing in London this season.

Coach Todd Bowles also brought in a sleep therapist this week to talk to the team and even gave each of his players a set of orange glasses designed to block blue light when reading tablets and phones at night to maximize rest.
