The "Mini-Camp is here!" Edition of Post of the Week - June 14th, 2007


GreenBeans

Recommended Posts

Thank goodness for mini-camp this week - there will be some actual news for a change surrounding the Jets. I'm getting tired of all of the speculation about the O-Line, the new defensive rookies and free agents, and good 'ole #10's arm strength. I'm also dying to hear what Pete Kendall has to say about his situation - and you know he will have something to say, he's never been one to keep his trap shut. I hope they find a way to keep him in NY - he's a valuable part of the team more as a teacher than a player.

Anyhow, back to business - here are the offerings for this week:

-----

(Taken from the JN Chatroom)

[jgb chatroom] 4:45 pm: I created room "HOE TALK"

[joebabyny] 4:45 pm: holy #$%^&* dude

[greengal] 4:45 pm: a gardening chatroom?

[jgb chatroom] 4:46 pm: LOL nice gg

(Editor's Note: Hoe talk? I didn't know that hoe's could actually talk. Wow, you know, you really do learn something new every day.)

If that's true, the Jets have been fining me for years because they refuse to carry me on their roster. It's all splitting hairs because deep down the owners have the players by the balls, but if you want to get specific he wouldn't do too well on his contract exam with that info.

Where'd you mention the poison pill? Hutch had one, but the Jets couldn't use that one because we wouldn't want to guarantee any DB top salary since Rhodes and Revis both might be commanding huge salaries in the future. The NFL likes to disallow those sorts of provisions, but I think they left Hutchinson's in because it is so much like the franchise tag to begin with (highest $$ at the position)

I think he was referring to me. I don't know why. I was admitted in '91.

Sorry everybody. FWIW, I think there is nothing worse than lawyers having a discussion on the internet. If it were any fun we'd be working instead of posting on a Jets message board.

(Editor's Note: Admitted in '91, committed in '04, JN member from "his resting spot" since '05)

Delhomme, Plummer, Losman, Grosman, Leftwich...they are all the same, they are interchangable. I guarantee if you swapped Chad with any one of them, the Jets would have had the same record. If you put Chad on the Superbowl Bears last year, they still would have lost. They are QB's that don't make a difference, they just pass the ball, and Chad is one of them.

(Editor's Note: Good points, but I think you are wrong about Chad in the SuperBowl with the Bears. The Bears win with Chad IMO, Grossman made a lot of mistakes that Chad never would have made.)

JGB, I am certain you are not a recist and I completely understand that you direct the above towards all races equally. But for you to write that and expect people who don't know you nor anything about you to not in insinuate what 80 insinuated, you're naive. You're a lawyer, you have to know that.

JGB went on a rant about the "THUG MENTALITY" (as he always likes to call it) that breeds drug use in this country.

Ummm...how about we look at the facts (from the Centers for Disease Control, in case you're curious)

- WHITE high school students are seven times more likely than blacks to use cocaine.

- WHITE high school students are more than eight times likely to have smoked crack, seven times more likely to have used heroin, and ten times more likely to have used LSD.

- There are more white students who have done CRYSTAL METH, the most dangerous and addictive street drug there is, than there are black kids who smoke CIGS.

- WHITE youth age 12-17 are 35% more likely to be dealing drugs.

- WHITE youth are more than twice as likely as blacks to be binge drinking AND twice as likely to be driving drunk.

And yet, these statistics go largely unrecognized by most people. Despite all these statistics, black youth are more than twice as likely to be thrown in jail for drugs as whites are.

Now, I know SJ is gonna reply to this post with something akin to me "blaming the man", but people should know the stats and the facts before placing some kind of sweeping sociological blame on the "RAP MUSIC" culture. The fact is that YOUR KIDS, not the urban ghetto, are more likely to be doing and selling drugs.

As for this response, it was clearly directed with the assumption that JGB was insinuating Thug turds are black. Don' t try and back out of it now.

I love a good argument, but both of you are arguing for the sake of arguing knowing exactly what each other actually thinks AND insinuated, which there is a difference. The argument is pointless.

(Editor's Note: Good work keeping the peace here, Booze. Good points by you for both people to consider.)

see/hear any of the judge's comments on TV or Radio?

Everyone should hear what the judge had to say.

The following is the ruling by Judge William Young, US District Court:

Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendant, Mr. Reid, if he had

anything to say. Reid's response, after admitting his guilt to the

court, for the record, was he "admitted allegiance to Osama bin Laden,

to Islam, and to the religion of Allah," defiantly stating, "I think I

will not apologize for my actions," and told the court "I am at war

with your

Country."

Judge Young then delivered the statement quoted below:

January 30, 2003, United States vs. Reid. Judge Young: "Mr. Richard C.

Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon You.

On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison in the

custody of the United States Attorney General. On counts 2, 3, 4 and 7,

the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on each count, the

sentence on each count to run consecutively...........80 years.

On count 8 the Court sentences you to the mandatory 30 years again, to

be served consecutively to the 80 years just imposed. The Court imposes

upon you for each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000 that's an

aggregate fine of $2 million. The Court accepts the government's

recommendation with respect to restitution and orders restitution in the

amount of $298.17 to Andre Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines.

The Court imposes upon you an $800 special assessment. The Court

imposes upon you five years supervised release simply because the Law

requires it. But the life sentences are real life sentences so I need

go no further.

This is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes. It is a fair

and just sentence. It is a righteous sentence.

Now, let me explain this to you. We are not afraid of you or any of

your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have

been through the fire before. There is too much war talk here and I say

that to everyone with the utmost respect, here in this court, we deal

with individuals as individuals and care for individuals as individuals. As

Human beings, we reach out for justice.

You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a

soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference,

to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether the

officers of government do it or your attorney does it, or if you think

you are a soldier. You are Not ----- you are a terrorist. And we do not

negotiate with terrorists. We do not meet with terrorists. We do not

sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring

them to justice.

So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a big fellow.

But you are not that big. You're no warrior. I've known warriors. You

are a Terrorist. A species of criminal that is guilty of multiple

attempted murders. In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago had it

right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you

wondered where the Press and the TV crews were, and he said: "You're no

big deal." You are no big deal.

What your able counsel and what the equally able United States attorneys

have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know how tried to

grapple with, is why you did something so horrific. What was it that

led you here to this courtroom today?

I have listened respectfully to what you have to say. And I ask you to

search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led

you to do what you are guilty and admit you are guilty of doing? And, I

have an answer for you. It may not satisfy you, but as I search this

entire record, it comes as close to understanding as I know.

It seems to me you hate the one thing that to us is most precious. You

hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our individual freedom to

live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, to believe or not

believe as we individually choose. Here, in this society, the very wind

carries freedom. It carries it everywhere from sea to shining sea. It

is because we prize individual freedom so much that you are here in this

beautiful courtroom. So that everyone can see, truly see, that justice

is administered fairly,

individually, and discretely. It is for freedom's sake that your

lawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf, have filed appeals,

will go on in their representation of you before other judges.

We Americans are all about freedom. Because we all know that the way we

treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own liberties. Make no

mistake though. It is yet true that we will bare any burden; pay any

price, to preserve our freedoms. Look around this courtroom. Mark it

well. The world is not going to long remember what you or I say here.

The day after tomorrow, it will be forgotten, but this, however, will

long endure.

Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across America, the American

people will gather to see that justice, individual justice, justice, not

war, individual justice is in fact being done. The very President of

the United States through his officers will have to come into courtrooms

and lay out evidence on which specific matters can be judged and juries

of citizens will gather to sit and judge that evidence democratically,

to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice.

See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United States of

America . That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten.

That flag stands for freedom. And it always will.

Mr. Custody Officer. Stand him down.

(Editor's Note: Bravo for that judge....)

The restructuring is just fancy accounting that allows it to take place later on with the same net effect. So there must be a reason for it beyond the cap implications.

He may very well have screwed himself over by not retiring after the '05 season. He was technically on the team, drawing a salary for all of '06 (even though he was on the PUP list). He should have retired, collected his $ from Lloyds of London, and then if he was able to come back, return the $ to them (but then he'd be making more than collecting from his policy anyway). This is what happens when lay people try to interpret legal contracts on their own.

Everyone in the world knows that Martin suffered a career-ending injury. It is obvious. But by (1) continuing to play with that injury for another 2 months in '05, and (2) working out with the team & not retiring in the spring of '06, he may have screwed himself. They may argue that there is a reasonable possibility "permanently" injured himself off the field doing his famous he-man regimen, since he was working out with the Jets in the spring, making all sorts of comments to the media that he's coming back.

He's getting screwed, no doubt. The reason I side with him is that you can't be on the side of an insurance company (who was all too happy to cash the checks for his premiums). Otherwise I hardly feel sorry for Martin from a financial standpoint. He made over $50M through age 32 (not counting endorsements & all the other things regular people pay for that star athletes get for free). Feel bad for a guy who lost his leg (or life) in a car accident, not a guy who didn't get to play 2 more years of pro football past his prime.

(Editor's Note: I just hate to see anyone of Martin's caliber get screwed - he's a good person if nothing else.)

This is the NFL you don't hand people starting jobs they don't deserve. When Mangini announces that Clemens is the starter, then I will take notice. Until then, he's a backup until proven otherwise.

do Jets fans really think they know more than Mangini about who should be the starter?

This coach will play the best player regardless of age or contract - if it's Chad, you should believe him. Mangini would not leave a better player on the bench for political reasons.

In fact, I'd go out on a limb and say that Coles and Mangini probably have the strongest coach/player relationship on the team. Coles jawbone is probably still in some grassy filed outside of Gillette stadium thanks to a well timed vintage Pennington floater that nearly got him killed. After taking that kind of a hit, I would venture a guess that 80% of all WR's in the league would have been done for the day and not one person would blame or pass criticism for doing so. Coles was back in the very next series. Players don't do that for coaches they don't like or respect.

(In reply to this line from a Rich Cimini blog entry: "Even Coles, who often bemoans the workload, sees a method to the madness. "He wants to see who's going to fold under pressure," he said. "All he does is apply pressure - week in, week out, day to day, hour to hour. A lot of guys can't handle it. But if they can deal with that, they can deal with game conditions.")

Image that - a football post in June winning POTW! Boozer makes some very good points about the guy who is, in my opinion, the heart, soul, and leader of this team. Coles gets a bum rap for saying what he means - something that is unheard of in this day and age - while all he does is give 100% of himself on and off the field to the team. LC can play for my team any day - he's a throwback to a better time. Nice job with this post, Boozer - I think you are spot on my friend. Wear the POTW badge with pride this week:

Assist of the Week goes to ecurb2369 for all of those POTW provoking posts this week. e was the impetus for about 15 really funny posts (most made at his expense!) this week. Thanks a bunch, e, your efforts were not in vain!

That's all I've got for this week, people. Thanks again to gg for saving my butt last week with a brilliant version of POTW. You're the best, gg. Also, Happy Birthday to 124 - hope you had yourself a great day!

Yib-bid-a, yib-bid-a, yib-bid-a - that's all, folks - see you next week...

Y'all be cool -
