tommyduhamelshouse Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Guy teased for over 4-6-8 weeks "a life changing, career changing opportunity that he could not turn down". Kept saying it. Kept pumping it. Kept playing it up. He's going to...wait for it...SNY. Ha! The poor guy. He was acting like he was going to be anchoring primetime SportsCenter from Bristol, CT. What a joke. Guy is probably a decent kid but, he's a little high on his own supply. 3 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Untouchable Posted August 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2022 I’m not sure why so many Jets fans are putting this dude and a guy like Bienemie or whatever on some sort of pedestal… They all could eat a bag of dicks and then go do something else afterwards and I’d be none the wiser. The last time I gave two wet sh*ts for a Jets beat writer was Randy Lange before he left for the Jets official website like 20 years ago and became a full blown homer. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are interchangeable. Jet fans fawn over this guy more then our gm, head coach and players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyduhamelshouse Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Hughes has proven to be a clown. Guy was pumping himself up to be the next Chris Berman. And he's gonna be standing at the local high school cafeteria with his little SNY microphone reporting on the cat that got into the tree in Ridgewood.

What does that mean, honest question? Jeane’s one of my favorite Jets heads Connor did really pump this up too much but I’m happy he’s happy. He was the best Jets “insider” since he’s been on the beat. It’s a step up for him and he’s now a TV personality in the worlds biggest media market. I imagine he sees this as the next step on the ladder to getting on TV and eventually moving up to a national network. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a joke. Guy is probably a decent kid but, he's a little high on his own supply. He just made the jump from print reporter to print & TV reporter. Not "local beat guy who a show might interview once in a while" but "tv is a key part of the job" In the biggest media market in the world. If you don't understand why that's a huge step, our why he'd refer to that as a dream job... that's a you issue. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunnie Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Good for him ... I dont like his content at all .. but being at SNY is nothing to scoff at ... major market sports source.Hopefully he uses it to grow up and realize he doesnt need to write just to get clicks ... maybe he will realize he has a LOT to learn.Time will tell.Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickJetFan Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 The coverage of all these wanna-be media is so lame. They all focus on stats like pass completion/would be sacks/runs but I have yet to see any one of them discuss How are the ones lining up on offense? 1 TE?, 2 TE?, are they using a FB at all? whats the rotations look like? ditto on defense? are they using 3 backers, playing nickel? whats the rotation look like on DL or any of the position groups? All we hear is completions or in-completions that have no context or meaning as they may be trying something new or testing limits...in some markets they actually get this kind of analysis regularly. here we just get shock jock assholes looking to make a name for themselves.

Integrity28 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Hughes has always been ‘meh’. It didn’t just start with this recent hyping of his ‘job change’.

UntouchableCrew Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I like Hughes. I don't know if he's "living the dream" but I see no reason to rag on him for what is clearly a big career move in his eyes. At a minimum he's clearly making more money and if he did want to be on ESPN someday, this is the path. Hell, Mets legend Kevin Burkhardt went from interviewing yahoos at Shea Stadium to announcing the Super Bowl. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Schroy Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I like SNY and really enjoy Geico Sportsnight and the METS/JETS coverage. He actually landed on his feet in a better position, and if you can't see that you don't know the reach of SNY. You seem jealous of him, very petty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I'm not a big fan of him - as I find him to be a bit of a troll. But this is a nice move for him for sure. Covering the Jets and Giants, on TV. Hopefully SNY starts to produce some better NYJ content. Maybe they can start with fixing the Jets post game show - I used to love it but the past couple of years it has become unwatchable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Rosenblatt who took over for Connor Hughes has been pretty good with his observations. These guys are reporters not analysts they cannot and should not speculate on the tactical. They can ask coaches about struggles in practice but can only report what the coaches say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Sorry but what's the problem here? It's an on air job for sports network. He's likely getting way better money and is one step closer to ESPN or NFL Network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
