Also re lifting the pinky, perhaps he is British royalty you bunch of nit pickers! I actually think that last year your statement would have been correct, however if you look at that pic, I believe his legs actually look bigger than last year. Obviously I have no clue if that is true, just looks that way from the posted picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other side of the coin a 14 year old with the nuclear codes could push a button today and wipe out that generation in a couple of hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChewyandtheJets Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Was thinking how sensitive we as a society are to fat shaming. Our country is obese yet we can’t say anything about it. COVID hit the obese hard and yet nobody could say maintaining a healthy regimen of diet and exercise would be one of the best things to do to help fight the symptoms of the virus. Obesity puts a person at risk for many ailments and diseases yet health insurance companies can’t rate people for being obese, they pay the same rates even though it is almost guaranteed they will require more services. I get it all it is a sensitive subject. Having said all that if your job is a professional athlete I think it is perfectly reasonable to expect you to show up at a good weight to perform your job. If you don’t I think it is perfectly fair for fans, media, etc to hold you accountable and make judgments about your discipline and commitment. Doesn’t make any of us bad people. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a big difference between fat shaming, and expressing genuine concern for the health of a friend or family member who is overweight. One is a frank discussion in private, potentially with a medical professional, the other is simply to embarrass or put down the other party. I get it, Mekhi is a public figure, and the rules are a bit different for him. Which is why I would urge him to stay off social media and not respond to the fat shaming. Just work his ass off for the next 6 weeks, show up to camp at a good weight and ready to play. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saleh speaking about him his veins were popping in his head. I mean, it doesn’t seem good. There’s always the chance he gains more over the time away now, especially if he’s going back to Texas or wherever. At the weight and condition he’s at now he can’t play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IndianaJet Posted June 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2022 Becton would basically need to quit over the next month and show up completely out of shape for him to be cut. Boomer is just saying sh*t to be controversial. Even if the FO was so done with Becton that they’d even think of cutting him he would be traded first. There would be a line of teams willing to give up picks for him. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammybighead Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Are we at all concerned that Becton labored to take 1 step to the podium for the press conference? There's no way his knee is "structurally sound" or fully healed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Boomer is full of sh*t, Jets wont cut him but even if he is that weight, Becton said he would be a full participant in training camp? Opening day is when? Sept? If his knee is fully healed and structurally stable and he is really out to prove the haters wrong, that's plenty of time to get down to an appropriate playing weight and be ready to roll week 1, which is all that matters. Only person who can control that is Mekhi, so we'll see what kind of commitment he has and if he's willing to put in the work to back up the talk. I'm betting he will and the pancaking will be on! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to know what's behind people's eating disorders. For some people it's almost impossible to get it under control. Maybe no different than alcohol or drug addiction. I'm sure it's not a choice to be morbidly obese and it's probably not as simple as just a choice to fix it. I doubt fat shamming is going to solve it but I think we should try.

You are not alarmist, 9 months in and still taking a step like that is significantly concerning. Dodging weight and conditioning questions is significantly concerning. Time is running out, he's basically got a month and a half. Talking about now how he's gonna start eating right and drinking water to lose weight with 6 weeks left! Very concerning... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this nonsense about proving "haters" whoever they are wrong? The guy has a boss in Saleh and Douglas. He has a responsability to himself and his team mates if and when he's ready to go. You hope as a professional football player he has a commitment to being a pro and if he's lucky enjoying being a pro. This proving your haters wrong seems like the worst of all motivations. He's got a great job that pays well playing a kids game. It's a hard job but if you have the ability and you recognize the opportunity that's great motivation. Nobody hates Becton. As Jets fans we know he's a piece of the success or failure of this team. All we want is a professional football player to at least try and reach his potential and help the team win. There's frustration because there's doubt. Hate is crazy talk. Boomer doesn't strike me as a liar. It doesn't matter, Becton has complete control over the Becton narative. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
