kelly Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Silence of the lambs The Jets still aren't talking. Neither Rex Ryan nor owner Woody Johnson will address the media Wednesday, according to a team spokesman. No reason was given.Ryan hasn't addressed the media since Sunday's loss in Buffalo and Johnson has talked publicly since the team was 3-6. Johnson released a five-paragraph statement Monday morning, firing GM Mike Tannenbaum and retaining Ryan. Clearly, something fishy is going on. If Ryan doesn't speak by Friday, the Jets will be in violation of the league's media policy. The policy, created in conjunction with the Pro Football Writers of America, states that the head coach and a team official (owner, GM, president, etc.) must be made available to the media during the week after the season ends. What's going on at One Jets Drive ? Two possibilities: Management is muzzling Ryan until a new GM is hired or Ryan is so ticked off at the current situation (Tannenbaum fired, Tony Sparano status, etc.) that he refuses to speak. What, you thought the circus would end when the games stopped ? > http://espn.go.com/b...ce-of-the-lambs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you know you have a stomach ache, it's quite easy to essentially chalk every "burp" up as a symptom of indigestion. That's all they are doing, the Jets are a mess, so everything that happens is a symptom of the mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoicsentry Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I've been calling out the media for a few years now. Nice to see how many people are on board. This article was ridiculous. I just heard Cimini talking about it on ESPN radio and LaGreca was just as bad, if not worse. Kept implying that Rex wanted out, and that not holding the presser by now left him open to speculate on that. So LaGreca, does that mean that if Rex said he wants to/is going to stay on during his presser, that you wouldn't be talking like this? Because he already DID say it, just not in a presser... freakin stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't do it within the week and then get fined, well THAT is a story. It's not a story that they're using some of the time that they are allotted.

Since the Jets are now shutting them out, they are all crying like babies with sand all up in their vagina. The Jets are being smart by staying quiet. Instead of a stupid press conference about Rex's future, Sparano, GM, Teblow, Sanchez, make those scumbag writers wait until they get a few things in order. Whether they speak this week or 6 months from now doesnt matter. Its all bullcrap anyway and they would be getting a huge ration of sh!t either way. As someone else has said, I would wait until friday, tell the media they were doing planning meetings and didnt want to talk prematurely.

These Jets are comically bad in front of microphones and their PR department is as inept as it gets, which fosters the easy-pickin's relationship between the team and the media. Look at how the Giants, despite choking away their season, have received zero backlash for it. That's because they, via Pat Hanlon, have the media on a leash. It's the reverse with the Jets. Pulling a headline out of Florham Park is shooting fish in a barrel. The "right" move would have been to roll Rex out on Monday, where he could non-answer his way through ten questions, then that non-story disappears with the holiday. But, because the Jets are stupid, they try to close ranks and become a story where there is none. They're just dumb. Stupid. Inept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbatesman Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 That awkward time when Cannizzaro made us lose to the Steelers. The 2012-2013 season was a difficult one for the Jets, as they finished with a record of 6-10. Despite an anemic passing offense and some key injuries, it is generally agreed that the primary culprit for the team's collapse was beat writer Manish Mehta, whose venomous stories--backed by quotes from anonymous "sources"--derailed the team's clear path to the Super Bowl and even caused some of the more disreputable elements of the fan base to do the unthinkable: question the genius of head coach Rex Ryan.

pedro55 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The problem with all these things is it's a two way street. The Media fawn over stupid nothings, players, coaches, GMs, owners get pissed and want to show who is the boss. Many times both are at fault. The Woody's of the world want the attention when they want the attention to publicize a presidential candidate or a new stadium or some new 'savior' of a player who won't ever play. Rex loved it when the Hard Knocks camera's were around. I imagine Woody did as well. Publicity. It is what it is. It's a pointless story, but the media has to hype up something while the Jets will beg the media to show up when they do have a big announcement. Why get angry or pissed over it? WHo really cares. It's going to happen either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisYearsModel Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The funny thing is, should Rex get whacked, the media and beat writers will be the biggest losers. With less of a circus, they will be bored and then complain that things are not like when Rex was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
