Dude this is way out of line. Total bullsh*t post.

We have had Manish on the show, but we have never once told people what to think about him. I have personally given the guy a ton of crap of the years from the @JetNation account.

Garbage post.

I have been called “mentally unwell” and “obsessive” by Glenn multiple times for calling out Manish and discussing his behavior on this forum.  Most of the time, mostly in the beginning and making an exception for two, maybe three, recent instances, it was done without me replying to anyone, but simply making my own points in threads.  He has done this to other posters, but I’m not going to speak for them.  That is who my post was directed at, not you.  Nothing I said was meant to imply that you don’t go after Manish on Twitter or criticize him as a journalist.  I am, admittedly, guilty of “calling out a poster” without actually tagging him in that post if anything.  I’ve actually been very open about my struggles with mental health on this forum in some “heart to heart”/“real-talk” off-topic threads to offer help to others, so I will also take a wild guess and say that attacking my mental state (multiple times) isn’t/wasn’t a coincidence.  Especially since I have mentioned my diagnosis of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder on more than one occasion in those discussions.  Even if it was an unrelated jab, constantly ripping on multiple people and telling them they are mentally “unwell” and “need help”  is not cool.  The frequency this theme was used to insult me and others speaks volumes.  One time?  Ok, it’s kind of a low blow, but whatever floats your boat.  Continuously?  That’s going overboard.  Look, I’m no saint.  I’ve been warned for very stupid stuff I’ve said in the heat of the moment or when I get ticked off.  However, I have no problem admitting when I’m wrong, being put in my place, and changing my behavior because whatever I was doing was not ok by this forums rules and standards.  Shoot, without getting into details, you know that about me well enough lol.

This all really started a number of months ago when I called Manish a name or something like that (I think it was “rat”).  I was then called “mentally unstable” and told that I am “a good example of the people I am studying in my psychology classes” (or something along those lines) by Glenn for doing so.  From that point on it turned into a mud-slinging contest and I eventually just stopped because it was going nowhere and we were both told to cut it out by a mod.  As did Glenn, until, you know, the next time Manish was mentioned and I expressed my disdain for his journalistic ethics and behavior.  Then it was back to calling me, and other people, names because his poor little buddy Manish was called out.  He has even started threads to “call out” people (without directly tagging them) for attacking Manish.  So YOU may not tell people anything like that, but he certainly has.  If Manish is friends with Glenn to that extent because he was on Glenn’s podcast for the website once, great for him.  I simply operated under the belief that if my “mental state” was fair game in a “war of the words”, so was an episode of Glenn’s podcast.  All that being said, and I say this with all due respect because my beef is with him, not you or the JetNation website, if you think for one second that I’m going to sit here and take that from ANYONE without any sort of response, you’re mistaken.  Even if it is from someone who contributes to this place.  That does not, and should not, exempt him from anything, and judging by how you’ve run this place over the years, I would like to believe that you agree with me on that. 

Lastly, I love this place, follow you guys on everything that I have an account on, have publicly said on more than one occasion, website, and social media platform, that this forum is the best place, and my favorite place, to discuss football, but I have have not, and never will, apologize for defending myself anytime or anywhere.

And you're not the only person he's called "mentally unstable" over this, either.

It's simply bizarre.

Sure.  Just wanted to point out that it's a strange pattern of behavior, much like AFJF's strange defense of Mehta for so long.  

[Bruce Harper]

If Manish Mehta went off the deep end and started openly posting here, that would almost make up for the entire year of 2020.
I don't think I could handle the pure joy it would give.

I would wager he shows up here to read from time to time.

So I guess you think it would have been more plausible to pin it on, let’s say, McCagnan. 

BOOM.  Holy crap...   The light bulb just went off over my head.  Looking over Erika's tweets... it is now so obvious that it was indeed Mehta behind the burner account.

 I've completely changed my mind now about who was behind the burner account   I read Erika's tweet  again where it's described that Mehta crossed the line and involved JD's son in his attempts to bully JD.  Involving the child of another?  Well does everyone recall the name on the burner account?   Wow.  It was Mehta.

So Mehta uses his targets' children in creepy ways.  The Garrett account and now the incident with JD's son.  That's way too close to assume coincidence.    If I were a detective I'd look a little further into this guy's activities.  His eagerness to involve children is more than creepy and I wonder if there is something else there..

So, let me take a step back. I take "the site" very seriously and that is why I responded to your post. I am not looking for you to take anything, or apologize. Your post seemed (to me) to suggest that the site had a relationship with Manish or that we owed him something. We have never, nor will we ever do anything like that. This is what I wanted to clarify.

This site is mostly driven by the forums. For everything else that we do on the homepage follows a strict pattern. All content is either:

1. Jets News

2. Featured Editorials

I have lost writers because it is literally the only thing I am strict on. When the team signs someone, we run these boring updates that bring the news. Whatever details that we can provide, we add. This is Jets News.

Anything else is fair game under featured editorials, as long as it is fair and doesn't break any laws the writers know that I never throttle them. Because they are putting their name on it. I have been called by the Jets about our editorials in the past and I have never changed one. These are opinions and they are clearly labeled.

This is pretty much the foundation for the site and why I think we have been successful over the long term. The podcast falls into that editorial category. So what is said on there is opinion and "the site" stays out of it. To be best of my knowledge there is no personal friendship between Manish and Glenn. It is our content, so I get that we own it. But the line for me is clear, as long as we don't owe Manish anything, as long as we don't promise him anything, I stay out of it because this is an editorial.

I have seen the back and forth between several posters and Glenn over the Manish thing. I definitely have stayed out of that. If I missed posts about mental health that is on me. That is not allowed here, so in trying to stay out of the editorial aspect it sounds like I let posts slide by that referenced mental health. I will speak to Glenn about that and I will make sure things like that don't happen in the future.

I guess the only thing I wanted to accomplish with my post is clearing "the site" from the Manish thing. Because like I said we don't owe him anything, we have been very critical of him.  The only editorial thoughts that run under @JetNation come from me and I can tell you he doesn't feel like the site has been easy on him. On a personal level I have not been a fan of Manish for a very long time.

Thanks for clarifying.

I appreciate you responding and clarifying Phil.  Really.  I added this to the end of my post after you, likely, quoted it, but want to make it extra clear:  I love JetNation.  Articles.  Forums.  Livestreams with GreenBean.  Everything.  I follow you guys on everything that I have an account on.  I have publicly said on more than one occasion, website, and social media platform, that this forum is the best place, and my favorite place, to discuss football.  I tell people about this website, and all your social media accounts, alllll the time.  Barring a sale to Scout (LOL), that will never change, no matter who I disagree with.  The site, as far as I am concerned, is as clear as can be, which is why I wanted to make it clear to you that my post was addressing an issue that involves another poster, rather than content on here.  I have zero issues with the content; even when there are pieces I disagree with the writer/creator on.  Good content triggers good discussion, which is bound to prompt some disagreements, and JetNation definitely delivers on “good content” and A+ “discussion”.

As for the mental health thing, I also appreciate that because I take that subject and advocating that people get help if needed, very seriously.  Especially since my disorders were, formally, diagnosed.  I have been in a spot before where I was “unwell” and needed to “seek help”, as Glenn so kindly told me to do in this thread.  I take full responsibility for the post that prompted being told that (although it wasn’t the first time and that’s why I came out swinging at him in the first place), fully agree that I shouldn’t have said what I said in the heat of the moment, but there is always a line that shouldn’t be crossed.  Maybe I should have reported it, but I just don’t want to be “that guy” when it happens.  As I said, other posters can attest to it happening, and the fact that it’s happened multiple times is the only reason I have gotten so heated so quickly in back and forths with him.  I admit that I should have just brushed it off instead of flinging back dirt and garbage attacks, but going forward I’m going to do what I can to ignore posters attempts at getting a rise because it simply isn’t worth the arguing and I know that it can’t be easy on you, or any of the other mods, to deal with.

Hey I appreciate that, and I am glad that we had this exchange. It is proof that despite it being 2020 people can still talk about things and explain what they feel. I do appreciate you taking the time to spell it all out. BUT THE GUY YOU VOTED FOR IS BAD, STOP COUNTING THE VOTES I MEAN KEEP COUNTING.  Just kidding, that is my point though -- there is so much fighting and people not listening everywhere it seems. It actually makes me happy when people take the time to explain things, like was done here.

So thank you! I get super sensitive protecting the site, it is literally the only thing that triggers me. Just ask T0m Shane what he had to deal with (with me) back in the day lol.  

Back on topic, I am told that there is more Manish stuff that is being verified. So there are more stories out there, not sure when \ if they will come out. But I don't see how the NYDN moves forward without making a change. They didn't have a question in the Gase interview the other day. I will check the next time Gase is interviewed but the NYDN having no voice at the table is going to force their hand imo.

Of course man; I’m glad we had it too because the last thing I’d want you to think is that I was coming for your website for any reason other than to praise it.  One of these days @T0mShane, you, and I will hit up the finest of Buffalo Wild Wings establishments and talk ball.  I know how much T0m loves that place.

So yes!  Back on topic!  The fact that Manish has survived this long surprises me, but I agree.  This might finally be the nail in the coffin.  Especially with Woody coming back, a new HC coming and, of course, the very large possibility that Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields is drafted by the team in spring.  Manish was exposed for stealing other people’s work and now it’s all out in the open.  Good luck getting anyone else to do that.  There is zero shot the NYDN will be a-ok with being bottom of the barrel in their Jets coverage with all these changes on the horizon.

I will never go to a Buffalo Wild Wings with Tom again. Fool me once whatever. Fool me a 5th time, not gonna happen.

Good point on the coverage, the Jets have a few big pressers coming up.

• Firing Gase and staff
• Announcing new coach
• Draft announcing hopefully Trevor Lawrence

There could be another big presser after Sam Darnold is traded. If that happens before the draft.

The NYDN will definitely want to ask some questions.

Thank you for sharing your experience with mental health. 

the potential problem with a “fan “ reporting is obvious   He obviously cannot draw and respect a line between his personal interests and his professional one

Again I applaud your honesty and strength for others afflicted with these issues

it sounds like Glenn is the one who needs to get himself checked out ASAP

My only observation about the latter part of this thread is that any long term Jet fan commenting about someone else's mental health is really pushing the stones and glass house envelope, no? Me definitely included, and I gave up on therapy after a decade: some damage is irreversible.

I would be shocked if he didn't read the forums regularly. I would be shocked if all the beat reporters didn't read regularly.

It's always fun to see your posts get lifted verbatim into a Cimini piece... Though, it's been probably a decade since I've read one of those.

Well I hope the NYDN at this "emergency meeting" take note how Mehta involved reference to TWO children in his antics: Joe Douglas' son and, earlier on, Garrett Gase (using Garrett as the name on the burner account.   

Bye bye Manish.  You are fired.

I have been called “mentally unwell” and “obsessive” by Glenn multiple times for calling out Manish and discussing his behavior on this forum.  Most of the time, mostly in the beginning and making an exception for two, maybe three, recent instances, it was done without me replying to anyone, but simply making my own points in threads.  He has done this to other posters, but I’m not going to speak for them.  That is who my post was directed at, not you.  Nothing I said was meant to imply that you don’t go after Manish on Twitter or criticize him as a journalist.  I am, admittedly, guilty of “calling out a poster” without actually tagging him in that post if anything.  I’ve actually been very open about my struggles with mental health on this forum in some “heart to heart”/“real-talk” off-topic threads to offer help to others, so I will also take a wild guess and say that attacking my mental state (multiple times) isn’t/wasn’t a coincidence.  Especially since I have mentioned my diagnosis of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder on more than one occasion in those discussions.  Even if it was an unrelated jab, constantly ripping on multiple people and telling them they are mentally “unwell” and “need help”  is not cool.  The frequency this theme was used to insult me and others speaks volumes.  One time?  Ok, it’s kind of a low blow, but whatever floats your boat.  Continuously?  That’s going overboard.  Look, I’m no saint.  I’ve been warned for very stupid stuff I’ve said in the heat of the moment or when I get ticked off.  However, I have no problem admitting when I’m wrong, being put in my place, and changing my behavior because whatever I was doing was not ok by this forums rules and standards.  Shoot, without getting into details, you know that about me well enough lol.

This all really started a number of months ago when I called Manish a name or something like that (I think it was “rat”).  I was then called “mentally unstable” and told that I am “a good example of the people I am studying in my psychology classes” (or something along those lines) by Glenn for doing so.  From that point on it turned into a mud-slinging contest and I eventually just stopped because it was going nowhere and we were both told to cut it out by a mod.  As did Glenn, until, you know, the next time Manish was mentioned and I expressed my disdain for his journalistic ethics and behavior.  Then it was back to calling me, and other people, names because his poor little buddy Manish was called out.  He has even started threads to “call out” people (without directly tagging them) for attacking Manish.  So YOU may not tell people anything like that, but he certainly has.  If Manish is friends with Glenn to that extent because he was on Glenn’s podcast for the website once, great for him.  I simply operated under the belief that if my “mental state” was fair game in a “war of the words”, so was an episode of Glenn’s podcast.  All that being said, and I say this with all due respect because my beef is with him, not you or the JetNation website, if you think for one second that I’m going to sit here and take that from ANYONE without any sort of response, you’re mistaken.  Even if it is from someone who contributes to this place.  That does not, and should not, exempt him from anything, and judging by how you’ve run this place over the years, I would like to believe that you agree with me on that. 

Lastly, I love this place, follow you guys on everything that I have an account on, have publicly said on more than one occasion, website, and social media platform, that this forum is the best place, and my favorite place, to discuss football, but I have have not, and never will, apologize for defending myself anytime or anywhere.

When someone says something insensitive or insulting to me on this website, one way I deal with it, is to think to myself, did this person write dozens of op-eds in defense/support of Mike Maccagnan as a quality professional football general manager?  If they have, I don't give a lot of credence to anything they say about really any other topic.

I cannot imagine him NOT getting fired by the end of next week after their HR does a deep dive. 

If its ran by a credible manager, they wont have a choice but to can him.

I don't believe that there is anything illuminated that they are already not aware of. They obviously know that Mehta had his credentials pulled and would know why. They would seem to be complicit.

As far as an "emergency meeting", it is probably more "Who do we get to fill the post that was left"?  I hope it is different, but previous indiscretions have not pushed them to move.
