varjet Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I believe that change is occurring, but we will really not know how things are going until they draft again. We thought Mac was smart trading up for Darnold, but then he used his next draft pick on Shepherd. I think this is the year that the jury is out on that, although having to sign Anderson for $10mm is not a great sign. I wish them luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENBEAN Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 That interview was about as idiotic and disrespectful as it gets. I think gutman, for all of his warts, handled that well. How many times can he be asked the exact same question? All this video did was let me know that sports press have always been tools. It’s not worse than ever like I thought. Thanks man. This vid helped me out today I had season tix all throughout coslett/Caroll/Kotite. What fun that was.

The Jets were 1-11 and this is an interview with then team president Steve Gutman. Download video I couldn't even finish this video...2 minutes was enough. Poor Mac...he gets abused like a punching bag to relieve frustrations of several decades of bad ownership that lead to bad FO's. A billionaire...Hess certainly was a successful businessman, but was a clueless owner. He was never truly engaged in the sport. For him...the Jets were more of a trophy toy for amusement Thus... gutless Gutman and clueless Kotite. Thank god fan outrage and media shaming forced Hess to fire deez and doez Kotite. And put the team in the hands of Parcels. When Hess died Woody took over. He was actually interested in making the Jets Super Bowl champs. Sure he made mistakes but he cared about winning. He was engaged. And Chris...the other half of this Johnson & Johnson ownership seems a little bit more instinctive in grasping the pulse of the sport. I think it's going to lead to something. I just get a feeling that Chris...Mac...Gase...Williams...FQB Darnold...Le'Veon-Jamal Adams, are going to break through bad Karma and bring the NYJ a Lombardi Trophy. For those of you old timers, who have lived through decades of clueless ineptitude...Just Hang On Baby...its coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungaman Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Unfortunately, I suppose, I go way back as a fan. My first distinct Jet memory is seeing Namath in a meaningless preseason game tear his knee up trying to tackle a Detroit Lion player and getting low-blocked by Mike Lucci on the return. So I suppose I've endured my share. Between them and the Knicks, it's a wonder I have a liver and any brain cells left. Or maybe the better explanation is the brain cells were never there ...

I hear ya. Knicks Dolan is the poster boy for scumbag sports ownership. He recently banned a fan from MSG for asking him to sell the team. He gulaged the guy...who's probably paying $150 bucks a game and $100 for beer! Every fan in MSG should be chanting "Dolan sucks...sell the team" whenever he shows up. As for our NYJ...hold on to your liver...fight off dimentia...don't die yet. A Lombardi Trophy is a coming in the Darnold-Le'Veon-Adams Era.

Glat is purely on the business side of the operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Glat was hired specifically to get the West Side Stadium project secured and he failed at that in embarrassing fashion.

Scott Dierking Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Gutman was a clueless fool, and combined with Kensil, they became lackeys to the league in trying the best to be a model franchise in terms of having model players and minimal league distractions. But this interview is a joke as it is an attack that Page knew was not going to get any answers, and he knew that going in. He was just looking to muckrake. Imagine T)m Shane doing an interview. Spicy but without substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSteve Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Luckily, I was bartending in Banff, Alberta at the Banff Springs Hotel during those years, so for most of the 1990's I was drunk. But man, do I still have some memories about that horrible football decade. I remember getting really excited when we beat the Cardinals and assured us we would NOT go down in infamy losing all 16 games and then thinking "man, this is really sad. Wouldn't it be great to cheer for a team that actually wins on a regular basis?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
