ARodJetsFan Posted July 8 Author Share Posted July 8 1 hour ago, GreenFish said: Let’s just keep stretching this further. So this guy has a podcast and because Sauce is on social media, he would have listened to this podcast out of 100,000 of podcast out there. “ But let’s assume he did, does this guy annouce on his poscast that he is a mob boss? Then let’s say Sauce did know this guy podcaster was a mob boss. Is he hanging out with him because he is trying to join the mob? I didnt know mobs still exist and dont know how they work. Can Sauce join? What’s in it for Sauce? I'm not trying to run in too many different directions with this, because there are some unknowns here. That said, if Sauce did know who he was, it's not a good look for the Jets organization, that their all-pro corner-back is taking pics and shaking hands with a convicted felon, no less a convicted mob-boss. We all know how the media is, with anything where the NY Jets are concerned. And for those of you who don't know who Joey Merlino is, his mob ties run pretty deep in Philly and his mob/criminal history, is very well documented. He is NOT a nobody. I'll take it a step further and say that if Joey Merlino attended a party, most people there would probably know who he was - if not by sight, then by word of mouth. Joey Merlino - Wikipedia In January 2023, Merlino reappeared in the news when he posed for a photograph with former U.S. president Donald Trump at a Trump-owned golf club, with both men making a "thumbs up" gesture.[71] In September 2023, Merlino started the sports betting podcast "The Skinny with Joey Merlino". Merlino gives out football picks weekly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure a convicted felon is running for President as well and players take pictures with him all the time. I dont think this matters, at all to anyone, anywhere. Quite frankly, Sauce shouldnt have even gone on the defensive about it. He can hang with whoever he wants to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one, living in NJ whole life until a few years ago, never knew this guy existed and even though I just saw that photo, I already forgot what he looks like.

bicketybam Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 This is just another attack in Italian-Americans. They slander our names with made up words like "mafia" and "Cosa Nostra." Meanwhile players can hang out with gang leaders and no one says word. As an Italian-American I am outraged. Outraged!!!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BARON Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 There is no such thing as the mafia. It is an anti-Italian conspiracy theory. Anyone that thinks ethno-specific exploitation groups exist are ignorant, hateful people.
