One of the most endearing aspects of JN is that we can always rib each other and that no one should take themselves too seriously. You have been chief among that nature. Nothing here is meant to be cruel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty to talk about with Manish. Can't wait to see this story tomorrow. This will give us some entertainment through December. Just in time to get the new coach in January. Good times! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The depths of his unpopularity run deep. It’s obvious his employer has suspended him and he’s is being told to stay off social media for a period. Manish is not the type to backdown in these situations. He gets off on being controversial. There were some pretty damning accusations being made about him and the Daily News could also be liable as well. My guess is they are investigating the situation and Manish is on hold until they finish up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't be tweeting from a handle that includes "NYDN" and get away with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being on so much fan related media podcasts, blogs and websites wasn't very astute a move. It just meant when he really screwed up and his own compatriots turned on him... that public scorn turned to outright hated. But Mehta doesn't strike me as a very smart guy.

Since Manish has a lot of time on his hands at the moment, maybe we can get him on the podcast again? You know, to get some more info on all of the sources he has and maybe spend the last 2 minutes talking about this silly little scandal thing, if there's time. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I ever spoke to him was on JetNation Radio one time. I screened the call and chatted with him for a minute before he went on the air. He was nice to us, but we have a pretty good thing here. We don't ask stuff of people and we don't do stuff for them in return. Anyhow, it didn't end well for Manish. I always wondered if he was going to be able to parlay all the madness into a gig at BarStool or something like that. At this point I don't think the next gig for him is in media or sports. I always thought reporters owned their twitter handle though. Like they would rename it to take out NYDN and keep it. But who knows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not much any more. His takes aren't any better than Cimini's or even Glenn's.) But one thing I noticed was whenever Hughes had to field a topic that was originated from one of Manish's leads... his voice would get louder and more pronounced. Not a huge revelation but I always found it kind of funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why that article wasn't nearly the bombshell it could have been. Hopefully this time around there aren't many legal ramifications this time around but you never know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
