Again, this is where you are completely wrong. If the Jets were well run and successful, the "narrative" and the media wouldn't matter.Narrative would be this is a good football team. Win games, the media will write sonnets and "great chemistry" articles  and other such nonsense.  If you're 12-4 and looking at a NFCE title, you don't really care what Joe Benigno or Manish Mehta or anyone thinks anyway. In fact Bellichick goes on with Benigno and chats very amicably a few times every season, because if you're winning WGAF? Imagine being a twisted bastid he gets off on sticking it to the Maras and Francesa. Should the day come the Pats are 3-13 and having their best players show up late for meetings, imagine it might be very different. But if you are winning what's the big bad media gonna say;good job? There are a lot of Boston media people who hate Bellichick but nobody cares what they think as long as the winning keeps on going. 

Only kernel of truth in your rantings is sadly the Jets' ownership does give a f___ about what Manish Mehta thinks. That's pathetic. Which is why in no small part Marrone is coaching the Jags and not the Jets. Again, its' not the fans, nor the media nor the narrative, it's ownership. 

Correctamundo and Mo Wilk showng late would just be oh its just Mo being Mo.

Exactly. But the ownership isnt going to change. So either the media and fanbase tone it down, or you're ****ed forever.

Which is the major problem. There is no  structure, just flit from one idea to the next.

It’s wasn’t too long ago that the Pats beat writers would take turns dunking on Kraft and Belichick—Ron Borges, in particular. Then they started winning Super Bowls and all those beat guys were professionally euthanized. The people covering the Jets, outside of Cimini, are entry-level dudes pulling in $40k per. If the Jets ever got good, actual professional beat writers would actually want the Jets beat and the current crop of kids would be re-assigned to covering supermarket grand openings in Teaneck.

Mehta has to be in a tough spot because the Daily News is always about 10 minutes from going out of business. If you notice, spare the Knicks, a lot of their out of town game stories for the Nets and all the hockey teams are re-written wire service stuff. Not a lot of lockerroom quotes, basic game story and that's it. Cimini jumped from the News to ESPN at the first opportunity. Heck, their beat writers may be in their living rooms. So they aren't paying Mehta a ton of cash.

That whole bunch all fled to digital at the same time—Cimini, Battista, McManus, etc. They saw the writing on the wall. There’s no evidence that the new group of kids has any access at all and instead spend their days playing XBOX while waiting for Ian Rapoport to tweet anything Jets-related, then sending their own tweet saying “Can confirm Ian Rapoport...” 

 

How the **** are you in that building all season and you can’t beat Ian Rapoport to a single story? These kids can’t make friends with one dude in the Jets accounting department who can throw them a bone every now and then?

I'll probably regret even asking this, but I will anyway. What don't you like about Bill O'Brien? Try to keep under 500 words.

I think he’s mediocre.  I don’t think he’s bad I just don’t see anything standing out

That’s all newspapers.  It doesn’t excuse Mehta being a Todd Bowles cheerleader
