Popular Post JTJet Posted March 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2022 Couldn't wait to share this with you guys... Some of you like @TuscanyTile2know I live in Indianapolis, and some of you know that I have a background as an executive chef in the city and most of my time is centered around opening new restaurants locations across the US (calm down @The Crusher). Actually got to make a late dinner for the Giants coaching staff after they won the Superbowl here in Indy against NE. Anyways, when I have down time, it's usually for a couple weeks straight instead of 2 days off per week regularly. In that time off sometimes I will fill it with a couple different things, helping my buddy's landscaping biz, or Uber to fund my gun collection. Which brings us to today. I decided to go Uber a couple times last week due to the combine being in town, and this morning I got a request at the Marriott. I pick up a rider named Terry and we start chatting about lots of good restaurants downtown in Indy and then he starts talking combine talk and not wanting the combine to leave Indy (which is the consensus of virtually every single coach and scout in the league). So I casually mention that I'm a Jets fan, and he interrupts me and says "before you keep going, you should know I used to work for the Jets", it immediately clicks in my brain, and I asked, "are you Terry Bradway?". Indeed it was. He continued to talk about how much admiration he had for the organization. Talked about some of those brutal draft misses, but one thing I thought was cool, was his respect for Woody Johnson. He said when he left the team, Woody had a custom Jets jersey made for him with the number 14 (number of years he was with the team) and had it signed by every single player, coach, and member of the organization. He said Woody is extremely well liked and respected in house for how he treats everyone. Anyways, thought you guys would like to hear it. Some other interesting notes from giving combine rides... - Not that he would ever go #1 but someone high up in Jax said Kayvon is a POS and he wouldnt draft him top 10. Hearing him talk about it up close actually may have changed my mind about him. - One of the Bucs reporters is a gigantic Jets fan. Doesnt tell many people. - Jayln Armour Davis was a cool dude, but looks tiny up close, I could snap that dude in two without blinking. - Couple people with the Dolphins had some very choice words about Brian Flores. It was pretty bad. - I have to personally thank the NFL and their teams for the 3 new firearms I am buying today. 34 11 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't mention the Smizzy thread were he made Bradway a clown did you? I think it was @bitonti that saw Rex Ryan laughing about that on a flight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I pulled my punches when it came to talking about his drafts lol. It was a 20 minute ride to the airport so didnt want it to be awkward. He was a hell of a nice guy.

BeaconJet Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 It sounds like literally everyone involved with the combine wants it to stay in Indy. So of course the NFL is considering other cities. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So of course the NFL is considering other cities. Yeah it's no exaggeration to say that 99% of people involved want it to stay here. Virtually no other city offers the right mix for something like the combine. Ease of travel for everyone, smaller downtown area that's walkable, medical facilities right near the stadium, somewhat lower key city, and all the hotels are connected to the convention center and sporting arenas. My suspicion is that they may move it, realize their error, and move it back. The 1% that wants it to move consists of basically Jerry Jones. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I personally rate Bradway as the worst Jets GM of all time. I've heard he's a very nice guy. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 i don't know about bradway. he was supposed tobe a scouting guru when he came to the jets and brought in such notables as doug jolley and robertson. both guys just didn't do very well. and then, he was replaced with tanny but kept his role as chief scout. wasn't he there when they drafted gholston? what were they thinking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southparkcpa Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Reminds me of Marty Hurney, then GM of the Panthers telling me he thought the Jets got the steal of the draft with Geno and Dee Milner. Half these GMs are no smarter than us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kidding, thought that might be funny. Great story. I'm greedy and I get bored easily. When I'm doing a new store open for a restaurant, I'm generally working for about 2 or 3 straight months with minimal days off. Then when it's over, I take a break for a month or two. If you know how to use the app and live in an area like Indy, you can clear a grand in 20 hours easily. Technically I make more money an hour doing Uber than I do in my full time position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson was pick #75 in 2012. The Jets picked Demario Davis 2 picks later at #77. So if the pounding on the table story is true, it had to be round 2, the Stephen Hill pick or round 1. But it can't be round 1, because idiot Rex publicly PROMISED Coples (at the combine IIRC) that he would be the pick if he was there in rd 1.
