Jesus I'm confused. But rather than confuse myself further, I'll just reiterate my underlying point. The title of the article doesn't match what was said in the press conference. Apologies for blaming you. I'm having trouble tolerating Geno as much as most Jet fans, but this is just the media tying to create their own story. They're actually doing exactly what he blamed them of doing in the interview lol
Yeah, let's censor anything but the optimistic. "I don't want to hear anyting bad about the 1-5 Jets!" As for the second bolded part, I am not aware that anyone has said Smith has blamed his poor season on the media. But he talked about so called "miscommunication" by the media in response to a question about how his season has gone. Why did he bring that up? Why is so-called miscommunication by the media relevant to assessing his performance? Smith is the one who brought it up so blame him.
Do folks not understand that headlines are almost ALWAYS misleading to draw in readers/viewers? Read the article and come to your own conclusion. Don't blame the headline. _
The first article I read on this was by Dan Cosentino on NJ.com. There was no reference to Mehta in it. This is not ALL about Mehta. Do a web search.
People on here like to blow things up before actually looking at the facts. Mehta was quoted in one of the articles posted saying Geno blamed the media for his poor season. He didn't write the article, the writer just posted his responses on twitter and used them in the article. But, Mehta isn't the only one. This article and the blaming is being reported by a lot of writers on a lot of different sports outlets. It's not just Mehta saying this, like many on here believe, it's a lot of people. He never said the media caused his season to go to shit. They asked him a question about how "topsy-turvy his season has been". His response was that he didn't think it was and then went on to say that the media has miscommunicated and misunderstood things that have happen and have posted wrong things. If you're not gonna blame the media, why bring that up in that question? Not only that, but how could someone miscommunicate or misunderstand you screaming fuck you to a fan and missing a team meeting? That's the point of this all.
Death star criticized the thread title as misleading, when the thread title was from the article, but Death's point was implicitly that the OP should not have posted the thread, and you yourself said threads like this sshould be censored. So, on a sports message board posters should not be able to start threads that quote media articles that contain criticisms of a player on the team?
Holy shit lol I didn't think this would turn into this. I'm not posting an opinion or an article I wrote. I'm posting an article verbatim written about the starting QB on this team. I didn't write one word of any of this. I didn't make the thread title, I didn't write the article. If you don't agree with it, fine, but don't blame me lol
It's one thing to post an article that's critical of a player , it's another to post some clickbait garbage story built off of a claim that's supported by nothing. Why does this article even exist if he didn't say that? It's the OPs job to see this as a fucking idiotic story. It's popping up on more than one website because that's the way shit works. People copy what gets attention. It doesn't mean it's a worthwhile article.
I meant that it should have been locked/censored if a poster blatently made a title that didnt match an article he posted. Falco told me that he did not make the thread title, and I apologized for blaming him. I still think its a poor article, but I have no qualms about it being made.
Those are quotes from the conference call. Just as in the other story I posted, both are quotes from Geno himself. The other stuff he says is his opinion, but this story isn't all about Mehta
So we should just start making threads of stories that the entire board agrees are worthwhile and thread worthy. I posted a story that is trending on every website about Geno Smith. Whether you agree with it or not, is up to you. This is a message board where people come to read opinions and to read things about the Jets. This is about the Jets and about Geno Smith. If you don't like it, you are more than welcome to ignore it and skip it.
When you post a bunch of Mehta tweets followed by a bleacher report article you have earned every bit of vitriol that comes with that territory. You'll never learn though.
There's no learning needed. If that's how it is, then so be it. All I know is the Bleacher Report app has given me some of the best articles I've read and has updated me on everything far quicker than every other sports app. Say what you want about them, but it's the best sports app I've ever used.
This is what I was referring to: Manish Mehta @MMehtaNYDN · 17h17 hours ago Hope this doesn't get "miscommunicated" or "misprinted": Geno Smith is 9-13 as a starter & thrown an INT in 18 of 22 career games. Manish Mehta @MMehtaNYDN · 17h17 hours ago Hope this doesn't get "miscommunicated" or "misprinted" either: Geno has worst QB rating among starters & next-to-last in completion% in NFL Manish Mehta @MMehtaNYDN · 17h17 hours ago I hope this doesn't get "miscommunicated" or "misprinted": Geno Smith said "F-- you" to a fan twice & missed a team meeting on eve of a game Very professional. Three tweets where he in regards to this yet this clown was the same guy who took snipets of the press conf. yesterday and posted it on his twitter account. That's why I take exception to Manish, its poor journalism and he picks points out of an article and leaves other snipets out because those aren't the tender parts of the meat. Mehta is taking potshots at Geno for no real reason on his twitter account, its unprofessional. He brings up other authors like Sal Pal's take on Geno Smith that shares the same tune as his as a means to convince himself and others that he's right on the button. Its easy to see what this guy's agenda is, he likes to hear himself speak and sadly Jet fans and other media outlets give this guy the attention he craves.
That doesn't make it right but you're right that all news outlets and medias do this, not just Cimini and Mehta. Credibility and reporting don't always go hand to hand, especially in this time and era.
