JetNation.com Labor Strike

Anyone hear about this? I saw the Chrysler thing on the news earlier but for some reason this didn't get any air time. But check this out.

Had my normal pre-production meetings with TheGARV on Sunday night and Monday. Didn't hear anything afterwards so it seemed like we were ready to roll. Then TheGARV disappeared. NOWHERE to be found.

Okay so we are down one video blogger. No problem. The site can survive it I say. Video Bloggers are a dime a dozen. The streets of Brooklyn are loaded with them. Life will go on.

Then I get a call from Gregg Hayim yesterday. He said he was under the weather and needed to push the podcast back a day. Not a big deal Gregg, I appreciate everything you have done for us. That was my reply. I talk to him just now and he is taking the week off. THE WEEK OFF? Other than the Jets Offense can you think of anyone around here that gets a whole week off at a time?

Normally I would be okay with this. But I just stopped by the JetNation Corporate Headquarters and the Audio\Visual room has been emptied out. The JoeBaby closet-o-porn has been cleaned out as well.

We have been ripped off people. This is clearly a power play on the part of our audio - video specialists. Well let me tell you one thing Mr. Hayimm and ElGARVy -- We will not give in to your demands.

You signed a contract. Unless you want to end up blocking along side Pete Kendall in Washington I suggest that you get some recordings done. And soon.

Oh yeah? When I set up pickets around your corporate headquarters and

and they won't be able to deliver your supply of Twinkies you'll sing another tune.

Wrong website Mr. Boras. We have a war room that would be the envy of many.

Either get them in here or record that donkey. Either way I want something on the front page soon.

Listen up Max, it is unfair to pawn off half-truths to the JN community and expect for them to buy into your lies. There seems to be a breakdown in communication here. below I will detail my demands, i trust they will be taken care of accordingly...and to any JN member thinking of crossing the picket line...be prepared to online fight as I am prepared to vitually kick your a**!

-The current pay scale no longer cuts it..I want a 150% raise and a healthy Christmas Bonus. I expect $3.00, in unmarked Nickles, delievered in a sealed envelope no later than Kickoff Sunday

- My travel arrangements are no longer satisfactory. I want private use of the JetNation G5 to all away games, and a Studio 54 themed Limo to home games. (what can I say, I hear disco is making a comeback)

- Unfortunatly, my wardrobe has grown tired and my fans demand a change. I have no choice but to listen to them and demand a complete wardrobe overhaul courtousy of JN. Afterall, I need to look the part...I will meet you on Madison avenure on Saturday afternoon.

- When I say BLONDE, I mean BLONDE. Brunette's will no longer be accepted

If, and only if, you agree to these demands will I agree to return to work. Until then...STRIKE!

We can't pay both you and the Garv. One of you is Kendall. The other one is Moore. I will let you know which one as soon as possible.

You are ungrateful though. We gave you a dollar lunch special at the last tailgate and you show no appreciation.

(haha, at least some of this is now true).

ElGARVIRINO called me last night from some dive in Mexico....he needed to borrow $500 and mentioned something about a Dirty Sanchez.

The Mexicans are charging him that much? Wow has the dollar really plummeted that badly or is Garv that scary up close?

So we have heard about who their lawyer is. Gregg was man enough to make his demands known. But TheGARV is playing hard ball. He is hiding.

We have the contract on video. We paid him -- double jointed midgets -- four of them.

So I guess this means no podcast and no Garv video this week? Man, after a loss this is all we have to look foward to as Jet fans!:Typotux:

TheGARV was heading out to beat up some Giants fans and get it on video.

Should we assume that it didn't go so well?

At least Fitzy (Boston's answer to the Garv) posts a video after the Pats crapped the bed.

FYI: You guys will enjoy this.

Fitzy is a professional comedian who is now paid by ESPN. Not sure I would compare him to Garv. Pretty soon Fitzie will be censored and the garv will be much funnier.

Just spoke to TheGARV. He had a few offers from other sites. But his legal team advised him that his contract here was iron clad.

He will report to work on Tuesday and will address both the Eagles game along with the Giants game in one video.

So Mr. Podcast, Gregg Hayim, looks like we just extended TheGARV and that makes him Brandon Moore. So unless you want to become Pete Kendall I suggest you have a podcast next week.

Oh Gregg, sorry about the mishap with the rookie dorm. We totally didn't mean to put you in there. You will be moved shortly.

:cheers:

I know that Nick Stevens is "Fitzy" but I still find him hilarious. His ESPN videos have pretty much sucked (apart from the Trent Edwards video) but his ALCS preview was funny.

Dear Max- I have advised my client, via gag order, to remain silent and let this whole process play out in court. You will be hearing from our team of lawyers shortly. However, I will add that we have been in serious negotiations with a few other "major players" in the podcast game and are seriously considering opting out and seeing what Mr. Hayim is worth on the open market.

Sincerely,

Scott Boris, official representation of Mr. Gregg Hayim

I haven't watched any of his ESPN stuff. And I only watch Patriots videos after they lose. So obviously I am not familiar with his work.

Opting out is not an option. We have a contract and you will honor it.

LOL!!! Anyone listen to Gregg's podcasts? I can't even mess around with him. Listen to him for 10 seconds and it is clear that this friggin guy is going to be on tv or the radio at least.

Next year when he is doing weekend updates on this fan you guys will bump this and tell me I should have signed him to a long term deal.

I tried! Boris doesn't want to deal with us in good faith! :fighting0050:
