You just got yourself banned. It is Thanksgiving so I will be nice and it is only 7 days. 

Completely unacceptable to come on here and post an unrelated article and someone selling drugs. Not cool, you can say what you want about people who play for and cover the team. But to come on here and "accuse" someone of things that are completely unfounded, that is garbage.

Happy Thanksgiving.

My family isn't going to understand what I'm talking about tonight when I share what I'm thankful for.  But, in 2020, I finally found something!

If you're going to go after someone publicly like that, you should have some documented examples that others can corroborate. This is just seems like an all around immature who cares fest.

Youre defending Manish, the guy who over the years has publicly made lots of comments and accusations and never had some documented examples that anyone could corroborate.

You are repeatedly missing the point here.

Agreed.  Can’t see anyone talking to him at this point.

People will talk to him. People that have an agenda that they want to have published by a source that they know will put things out there without required scrutiny. Whether true or not. 

Everything that he published in the past, and everything that he publishes in the future now becomes tainted

No I’m actually not. Mannish is irrelevant and literally no one takes him seriously as a reporter. If he actually went to a rec game to heckle JD’s kid then yeah by all means flame away. That just seems hard to believe even for him. But the people reporting on this are not Cimini, so it just feels like internet gossip. In an 0-10 season I guess we need something to talk about.

The NFL does not take away press credentials unless there are reasons. The NFL has no want to limit press exposure or to create animosity in the press corps. That there was no backlash from the Daily News lets you know that there was reason.

One of the beat writers for a major NYC paper isnt not someone who "literally no one takes seriously". 

So many people have reported the incident with JDs kid.  WFAN ran the story on air, claim they confirmed it along with everyone who has covered the story.  Not one media person or outlet is claiming the story is BS.  Manish was banned from the Jet Facilities and the NFL had to sign off on it and did.  The NFL, an organization that thrives on coverage banned a senior beat writer from a major NYC newspaper.  No one, anywhere has come out in Manish's defense.  If he was banned over nothing they would have circled the wagons even if they hated him.  And somehow you dont believe it and are trying to make it into "Internet gossip".  

Come on, where theres smoke theres fire.  Why are you defending Manish Mehta over and over again?

 

[SayNoToDMC]

Keep in mind this human gutter trash used to be probably the most influential person involved with the Jets and their decision making. Its pretty clear he's somehow weaseled his way through life without ever catching a beating and now society is too soft to play catch up. There's about 15 different people in this thread mentioned that should have curb stomped him. Joe Douglas should have made him disappear for harassing his kid alone.

The Daily News is not a major paper anymore. Does a hard copy even circulate anymore? Manish is a moron who's only relevant with the more die heard Jets fans. No one is claiming anything because it's not a major story. That's all. If you can find the post where I'm defending Manish, please quote it. If not..

Would it now seem a stretch at all that Mehta was behind the Wyatt burner twitter account? 

Mehta was very plugged into the Bryan Colangelo (his wife) burner account situation. It does not take any stretch (now that we know the other ways he has deceived). He appears to be that diabolical and that measured.

Yes a hard copy still circulates. The majority of their revenue , for sure, comes from digital ad revenue. The way to drive digital ad revenue is by clicks, obviously. 

The man that replaced the sports editor at the DN? Form Deadspin, with the title of "Director of Digital Audience Development". You know how Deadspin gets clicks? By being outrageous. The connection is not to difficult to make.

Burner account was created by Jets PR dep't and a 20 year old's intern's email in that department was the recovery account.  Mehta is a P.O.S. but the burner account was all Jets P.R. dep't and they got away with it because everyone assumes it was Mehta trying to troll Gase.

Newpapers aren't what they once were but in the context of major newspapers, they fit the bill given their circulation and being a NYC paper.  

And yeah, you've been defending Manish

One for starters, youre clearly defending him.  Own it, its ok

Deadspin is not what it once was-  I think it still exists, but not much traffic. They have entirely new people there too I believe and completely changed how they covered sports from when Will Letich was there.

"Journalism" is on life support as it is. Jimmy Breslin isnt walking through that door. It's pay to play and pay for access. Cimini is legit the only Jets reporter worth reading. Everything else, especially on the national level is either scripted Skip Bayless stuff or jocksniffing. This kid ghostwriting for Manish and not getting the credit unfortunately has always happened. It's not really surprising. If Manish was harassing a kid because of his dad then yeah he's pathetic. I just dont see this as any sort of omg story or we've broken the Manish case. We knew he sucked. I didnt think the Colangelo story was all that big either. Twitter is a total bubble.

Of course journalism is not what it once was. That is unfortunate, but true. 

But, that does not give license to:

-Creating agendas about the subject you are reporting upon.

-Blatantly attempting to create access by giving preferential coverage.

-Immersing yourself as part of the story.

-Being vindictive based upon access.

It is very clear to see that is what Mehta has been doing. And yes, it is a story. Rightly so. Otherwise, it would truly be the wild west.

believe what you want.  Burner account was 100% Jets P.R.   I can't give you tangible proof, but that's the way it happened.  Jets lucked out when all the blame shifted to Mehta.  No sympathy for him due to all the other sh*t Mehta has done through the years.  Ironic that he gets pinned for the one thing he didn't do.  The recovery email for the burner account matched the the initials, number of characters and host account for the unpaid intern.  Whatever.  Mehta deserves all this.  But it was Jets P.R with that burner account.  I am 99% confident of that. 

EDIT: Another possibility is the intern was a "spy" for Mehta

Im not saying it isnt true its just so hard to believe.  I guess I could buy that it was some moron of an intern who screwed up thinking he was funny.  Just cant buy it was done by the PR dept.  Theres the difference.  An intern, not on the payroll screwing around is one thing, its quite another that it was a concerted effort of a PR dept for a multi billion dollar enterprise.  I would think that would be one hell of a story and would have been widely reported

That sounds like solid evidence. Is it not possible for Mehta to create an account with those initials and number of characters?  Would not be surprising at all.

He has to keep his job first.  We'll see how that goes.

And you're right so I should have been more specific.  I was talking in terms of anyone in the building at 1 Jets Drive.  Some agents looking to get a message out might still come to him.

Agree , they were going to hire Doug Marrone until Manish told them not to ( say what you want about Marrone ,the stuff Mehta pulled  on that was deplorable) and Idzik once drafted 13 players and refused to trade out of some spots ..just to prove Mehta wrong . He’s had actual influence on front office hiring and roster decisions. Amazing to believe but he has . Good lord what a disaster we have been . Hopefully JD changes this .

Curious as to why Manish never denied being behind the burner. It was a big story, big accusation, and as far as I know never addressed, despite being called out by many on twitter.

Today’s news changes none of that.

You’re a good poster and JN contributor so it’s confusing why you continue to bring up a point on which you were proven wrong time and again.  
 

It’s okay to admit being wrong from time to time.

Didn't that burner account also tweet out a link to -- and quickly delete -- a NYDN story written by Manish moments before he posted the link on his own account?
