Also, he hasn't lost his job.....yet. Again, he brought that on himself, so no sympathy coming. Being completely unlikable does that to a person. None of his peers are coming to his defense right now. There's good reason for that. And no, Jets fans (at least not the ones who post here) aren't completely unlikable.

You have nothing better to do.”) seemed like it may have been a little playful. The one the day before, where Gase thought Cimini was trying to stir up a Bell-Gore playing time controversy, was a little more intense. I missed the first one.

Jetsbb Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 9 minutes ago, CTM said: Why do people dislike this guy so much that they'd celebrate his career going up in flames? Because he is a cancer to the team that actively tries to sow discord and ruin anyone that doesn't serve his benefit. He was responsible for the anonymous "Mike Pettine" sources that bashed the team during the Rex era. He was responsible for giving us 4 years of hell with the Bowles era by nixing the Doug Marrone hire with vicious lies. Once he did that he had to back Bowles so we had to deal with 4 years of nonsensical excuses for the mind boggling game mismanagement. Now he is obsessed with undermining the team any chance he gets because he has a personal beef with Gase. Don't think it ends with Jamal Adams. If left unchecked he will spread rumors laced with deceit to make sure the team is unsuccessful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playtowinthegame Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 4 hours ago, Scott Dierking said: Mehta had some terrible tendencies as a journalist: -He too often inserted himself into the story. The whole burner account thing (whether Mehta had one or not), seemed very, very odd. Mehta seemed to take a vindictive approach with Gase, actually trying to affect Jet higher ups decisions. It was just weird. -And while I will grant that he is a columnist, and columnists are allowed opinions in stories, he too often seemed to intersperse facts and his personal opinions simultaneously. The line seemed to constantly shift, and you could sometimes have difficulty telling if what he was telling you was his opinion, or if it was being reported. For young journalists, he would be an interesting study as how not to conduct yourself. He always seemed to be trying to showcase himself to some next level by being outrageous. Manish is has the innate drive of Louis Bloom from the movie Nightcrawler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However anyone feels about Marrone as a coach , Mehta driving to Syracuse to dig up 20 year old dirt on him was creepy AF. The burner account crossed even more lines ...again however anyone feels about Gase , Mehta went after his kid . Losing his job ? He got off easy if you ask me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisfaceoff Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 That Wyatt twitter account is about to be off the chain real soon. this guy was a bum. Everyone could see right through his stuff and his “sources”. I don’t wish ill on anyone, especially with how messed up the world is now, but if this is true and it lasts, I’m pretty ecstatic that he won’t be covering my favorite team any more.

jetscrazey Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 6 hours ago, mrcoops said: There must be something serious behind this. You don't strip a journalist of his credential with the backing of the league just because you don't like him or his articles. Manish must have really crossed a line. The line crossed was Manish was using his own personal dislike of the Gase regime to slant his entire coverage and promote story lines that made it seem like the locker room was lost. Beat writers never are supposed to make it about themselves as Manish did where it becomes detrimental to the organization. Even before Gase came along Manish was always oversensational but it was tolerated until he took it to another level. Early in 2019 Gase fired Manish's preferred sources Maccagnan and Heimerdinger, and then after a few losses Gase snapped at Manish in a presser. Since then, every single article from Manish has been written in a light to make Gase the central problem of the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenbloodblitz Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Upon first hearing of this my immediate reaction was that it has to be about the burner account. After thinking about it for a bit, I realize that Gase is way too busy right now, and this came from higher up. Backing from the NFL to pull his credentials would have to come from the owners, mainly Woody or Christopher Johnson. All the suggestions I've heard are valid, but I suspect this has more to do with something he either wrote or was planning on writing about Woody and the allegations against him of sexism and especially racism. Maybe he was speaking to the players and whispering in people's ears and trying to stir up or dig up some dirt on the owner of the team? We know that it isn't beneath Manish to write an Enquirer type article about a woman giving birth to a 30-pound alien baby. He also had no problem helping Jamal Adams s*** on the organization and head coach and owners in his own effort to get out of town. Hell maybe he even took a payout from Adams to write some ridiculous slander? For those who haven't noticed, Christopher Johnson has worked diligently for the past year-and-a-half to completely turn around the perception of this organization. It wouldn't surprise me if he pulled a few strings in defense of his brother, his head coach, and his football team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyeJet Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I wonder if the final straw had something to do with the false Covid tests over the weekend? I just went back and looked at his tweets from the weekend and not really mention of it other than something about cancelling a Sunday walkthrough. Seems like a big topic to basically ignore. Wonder if he got caught poking around or sharing information he shouldn't and knew it so tried staying silent in public to save his bacon. Don't know what that could be, just thought it was odd.
