For the third time, you are stupid because you attacked me personally with a post that said the opposite of what you intended, and seem to have to be told multiple times that you did so, and so far STILL do not understand it. And who appointed you to determine who is and is not a Jet fan? You are a clown.
As far as Mehta is concerned, I don't know who his source is, and even if he has one. That's not the main concern here, since we can only speculate. But the anti-press reflexive response of too many fans here ignores certain realities. I and others have pointed that out before, and I simply do not care to once again address it when the real focus here should be in ascertaining whether Johnson will or will not retain Idzik.
What are you talking about? How did I say the oppositte of what I intended. I meant what I said and I said it. Post 1: I post genius articles from two different times. Article A - Manish says that Woody is clueless and forced Idzik to trade Revis. Article B - Manish changes history and says what he posted about in 2013 from anonymous sources is a myth. Post 2: BigBlocker responds by saying that this is not the first time that Woody has thrown a staffer under the bus. Post 3: I as the genius that I am respond by stating that you are a moron if you believe that this is nothing more than Manish making things up to fit his agenda. Post 4: BigBlocker responds with - "Heh! Only a real moron, dense, thin or full of shit, would write a sentence that says the opposite of what you intended to say! When you want to call me names, try not sounding like a complete idiot when you make your feeble attempt, asswhipe." Conclusion: Post 3 I meant what I said and it is blatantly obvious that I meant that you were a moron for trying to spin this as Woody blaming Idzik rather than Manish "notoriously known for making things up only to now be caught in the act" Mehta trying to spin his anti Idzik rhetoric.
At some point you lose all credibility, which IMO Mehta did a while back. Once someone has lost all credibility there is no point in wasting your time listing to a word they have to say. Why bother with this schmuck?
Hmm now backing up because you realize that you were wrong in your response? To respond to the comment here, people here hate Manish because he contributes to the national sports fans agenda that the Jets are a circus. Do you hear the sentiment that the Bears, Bucs, Jaguars, Rams, Titans, many other teams that have not won a playoff game since before the last time that the Jets have are a joke? Nope, mainly because Manish is for some reason the NFLs source on all thing Jets when he has notoriously has made things up. I have no problems with Cimini, Costello, Martin, Lopresti, or anyone who has bashed the Jets, because they dont buy into the trash that Manish writes.
Isn't making things up to meet a deadline grounds for dismissal? I'm just asking the question. Seems to me that if Manish was as bad as everyone here seems to think, and he constantly makes up stories for print, why does he still have a job? Doesn't that strike at the heart of any news outlet's credibility? Something here just doesn't add up.
Because he gets clicks/views/tweeted at. Thats all that matters when it comes to being a journalist. Do you believe everything you read from every sports writer?
No I don't nor do I believe everything I see on the TV news either. However, there used to be standards in journalism. Somewhere along the line, perhaps that's gone now but if its all about clicks/views and tweets, there's no reason to actually leave the office and do a real interview. I have a feeling that somewhere buried in all the noise, the truth is still out there. Those "sources" just might be real but in order to keep their jobs, have to remain anonymous. We all used to think Pettine was the leak but now he's gone and the leaks continue. I just don't think its all bullshit even if it does make the Jets Brand look second rate.
the nydn breeds this type of reporting. I don't think they're at all concerned with the reputation it creates.
So why do you think Mehta wrote an article stating the exact opposite of this a couple years ago? Unfortunately, it seems standards in journalism are gone. In a world where advertisers pay per click, its no longer about the correct story, its about whatever will generate the most revenue. I'm sure some of the stuff he writes about are true, but his credibility is very low at this point, at least for me. The fact that this is the exact opposite of an article he wrote 2 years ago leaves me with very little faith that he is being 100% truthful. Have you seen Anchorman 2 yet? I watched it the other day, and it sheds some light on what news has become.
The condition of the NY Jets is self evident to all of us Jets fans. We might have different views on how to fix the problem but we are all united in one common goal, that is to make this team a perennial winner, respected and feared in the NFL for their performance on the field, not for their blunders off the the field of play. The last thing we need is a looser like Metha to throw more shit into the fire. He has lost all credibility and provides no insight into the NYJ. He is hateful of Idzik because he has been ignored, and provided with no information, so he goes out of his way to continuously fabricate unfounded rumors to further disrespect and trash the organization. He is a worthless and unnecessary detriment to the NYJ. He should not be read, believed or referenced as a reliable source. If we want to put a billboard to good use we should have one for the Daily News along the lines " Metha, the worst of the worst in tabloid journalism continues to lower the single digit average IQ of the Daily News sports staff"
Again, I don't focus on the writer. I don't read his stuff. I follow the Ledger, and when the Times posts stuff. Then of course the national stuff on the Jets. Imo too many here complain about it when the press posts stories that they don't like. Blame the messenger. It's silly. The Jets are a poorly run team. From time to time stories run that show the team in a bad light. Some no doubt have less cred than others. But it's not the bad press that makes the Jets a poorly run team. This should all be self evident, yet too often we come here and posters are whining about press coverage. It's not a signficant issue, imo.
Meh. The last thing the Jets need is to continue to be a poorly run team. It's not the press that makes this shitstorm. Idzik sucks not because of Mehta. He sucks because the team is 3-11 and going down the toilet. Keep your eye on the ball. Some posters here give the impression that it's not the poor performance by the team that bothers them. It's that they don't like reading about it in the media. Kind of ass backwards, though, isn't it?
I agree that people complain about the media too much. The Jets have many issues and I think most, except maybe Barcs, acknowledge that. You should focus on this specific writer being complete horse cock though. His articles are good for TP.
I didn't say anything pro or con about Mehta. I don't read the NYDN. Yes I see excerpts here, but I don't rely on him to understand what is going on.
Don't folks feel the same way about Cimini too? So we got two Jet beat writers with axes to grind? Cannizaro? Cmon now.. Someone has to be an honest broker here. There has to be ONE Jet beat writer that doesn't have an axe to grind.
I dont really mind Cimini. Yea, he's a bit negative, but the Jets dont have much positive going on. Mehta just seems like he has a vendetta against Idzik. I dont recall him being this over the top with his disdain before Idzik.
LOL . Metha is a snake and he is far from an honest broker...but I have a feeling you know that. There is a difference between critical reporting like Cimini or Canni or right down vindictive trash with no substance like Metha. The fact that the NYJ leadership is deserving of serious criticism is clear to us Jet fans, no shit , and not too many people are thinking otherwise. Nonetheless that does not justify Metha or anyone else to throw unadulterated trash up on the wall and see what sticks with nothing but tabloid bullshit as the adhesive. IMHO Metha has no redeeming value. His references add zero insight to any Jets issues.
I remember watching Richard Caster play but I don't remember him getting many concussions. I guess they should've benched him more often.
