Alabama1 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Thanks. Unfortunately it was not recorded throughout. The back and forth lasted about 1:30. Ken O'Brien was still on the team of the time Boomer was brought in during the Spring of 1993. With that being said Boomer (and I guess the Jets) had the nerve to hold up #7 when introducing him. I just thought it was classless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it was classless. That I remember. The Jets got a ton of crap for that. Although I don't think Boomer was personally responsible. How did the rest of the call go? What did Boomer say?

jason423 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I added the link. Weird though. What happened between Boomer and Kenny? I didnt click on the link but Id imagine it was about him showing up at a press conference and taking O'Briens number before O'Brien was actually off the team. Boomer always preaches about transparency, doing the right thing, asking teammates to respect him and him doing everything to earn respect, etc... but he never did that when he got here. He came in with the heros welcome while Kenny O was still technically the starter after the Nagle disaster. I think Esiason always claimed that he was told by the Jets that Ken was already gone and that he never realized that he was taking his number without permission. The Jets would traded O'Brien to the Packers something like 3 or 4 weeks later, so it was a bit in the slap of the face of the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjets Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I wouldn't mind Kenny as QB coach.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama1 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 The rest of the call Boomer basically tried to defend his actions saying "it was no big deal" because O'Brien knew he was getting traded to GB anyway. He also claims he called Ken that afternoon to smooth everything out after the press conference (which is BS). O'Brien had a different story to tell when he was a guest on 1410 ESPN Radio in 2011 recalling the situation claiming he was "Sideswiped". Obviously you got to keep in mind Coslet was the OC in Cinncy while Boomer was there so this did not shock me at the time. I still say Kenny was the most underrated QB this town has had. 1985-1988 he was as good,or better then Marino I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I loved Ken O'Brien back in the day. If the Jets get the same production out of the QB that 1985 Kenny put up, they win the Super Bowl next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 When Coslet got fired, he said it was because he didn't have a quarterback until Boomer showed up. Boomer, at that time, had what was being called a "three week arm" (or something), meaning he'd look good for a few weeks, but then his arm would tire, which is essentially how he spent the rest of his career.

pfilippone Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Not that it matters, but it was the Eagles not Packers that O'Brien went to for one season before hanging it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Jets Packers Eagles Three teams with green jerseys. What are the odds? 813:1 (0.12% chance) 3/28 * 3/28 * 3/28 = 1/813 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 813:1 (0.12% chance) 3/28 * 3/28 * 3/28 = 1/813 Considering he went to his second team via trade, that one would actually be 2/28. The Jets couldn't exactly trade him to themselves. You could even make a similar argument for when he ended up in Philly, but technically speaking it was possible for him to sign with any of those three teams (even if 2 of them were highly unlikely).

nycdan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think of Kenny and the first thing that comes to mind is 51-45. That was one of the best games ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyOB7 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ken was my favorite Jet as a kid, best franchise QB behind Joe. Unfortunately the Jets front office treated him like garbage between the contract negotiations, the benching and giving his number away before being traded, just ugly. Boomer was Coslets boy, his fair haired son, he hated his step child O'Brien from day one, even publicly stating he sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Mostro Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Kenny O was a favorite of mine too... but if anyone was the MAN on those teams, it was Al Toon Toon broke out when Wesley Walker joined the Jets. Walker's average yards per catch was amazing -- talk about a big play guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
