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.

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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

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? 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SayNoToDMC 14,718 #183 Posted November 26, 2020 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. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know how Deadspin gets clicks? By being outrageous. The connection is not to difficult to make. 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
