    • Even though she blatantly lied and that would normally be a fireable offense, I think she deserves a 2nd chance - lol.
    • I see where you'll go with this. Most instances of woody "meddling" can't be proven because the media hasn't directly reported the theoretical "meddling" being Woody's fault. To give the illusion of unity, the GM/etc would never say that certain actions weren't "group decisions". However, you don't need to peddle these kooky "jet blue exec" type conspiracies to find a few recent examples of woody undercutting his management and meddling with team affairs.  The all time example is the Tebow trade and subsequent disaster. Almost everyone associated with the organization reported that bringing in Tebow was an idea championed by Woody, and it severely undercut the recently extended mark Sanchez, rex Ryan (who apparently never liked or wanted to use Tebow, if his playing time is any indication), and GM Tannenbaum who was fired after the year of Tebow. Johnson then turned around and blamed the outbound Tannenbaum to new GM candidates despite everyone knowing this wasn't the case: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/report-tim-tebow-trade-forced-on-woody-johnson/amp/ More recently, we have Woodys comments about Zach Wilson this off season trashing him and saying that New York had "no backup QB". What owner even does this?! Can you name me another time an owner has come out and criticized a player on their active roster? Most owners don't even give off season football related interviews like that. Now, later on when JD announces that Wilson has been given permission to seek a trade, woody has already telegraphed the whole league not to bother because they know the Jets will release him. And how about the firing of Mike Lafleur? When asked about the firing, JD claimed it was a "mutual decision". Saleh and JD hand picked this guy, and I don't think anyone would argue he was our best OC since at least 2015. Do you really think the "mutual" part on the Jets end was JD's idea? No, as all our beat writers reported, Woody wanted heads to roll and moving on from Lafleur was ultimately the compromise he forced on his management team. So here we know he has once again undercut his GM and not let them do what the GM would naturally do on their own. As an owner, you either need to fire your GM or trust them. Yet woody has routinely forced himself into the situation over the years. Particularly from 2012 through 2024, I believe I could pull more examples, but these 3 sum things up pretty well to me. Woody definitely meddles, and he needs to f*cking stop and let 1 GM do their work. He is never going to hire another competent one when anyone with a brain would not want to work in those conditions. I suspect we only even got JD because woody was abroad.
