Sperm Edwards Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast/0-6-94/Mangini--Jets-hug-it-out.ht Mangini, Jets brass hug it out March 22, 2009 6:43 PM Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Graham DANA POINT, Calif. -- The rotunda off the lobby of the opulent St. Regis Hotel was a veritable Who's Who of NFL cognoscenti Sunday afternoon. The decision-makers were arriving for the annual owners' meeting, which begin Monday and run through Wednesday. A great scene just transpired. Former New York Jets coach Eric Mangini and his wife checked in while owner Woody Johnson, general manager Mike Tannenbaum and new head coach Rex Ryan were in the lobby. There seemed to be nary a shred of tension. Julie Mangini broke the ice by giving Tannenbaum a big hug. Soon, everybody was laughing like old pals. I had a chance to speak with Buffalo Bills chief operating officer Russ Brandon, who told me a statement is forthcoming in response to Saturday's blog about Toronto organizers hinting at a second regular-season game being exported to the Rogers Centre. Brandon will be representing the Bills because owner Ralph Wilson will not be attending. Wilson reportedly suffered a shoulder injury recently and didn't want to make the cross-continental trip. I also have seen Patriots owner Robert Kraft. His coach, Bill Belichick, will not be in attendance. I haven't seen anybody from the Miami Dolphins yet, but new owner Stephen Ross, GM Jeff Ireland and head coach Tony Sparano all are expected.

Maxman Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I try to find the line between posting too much information and not sharing any inside information at all. It is hard to find the appropriate level. But I must say that Julie Mangini is a very good hugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tparich Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Well being that we need Mangini if we are thinking about getting Cutler then in some strange roundabout way this could be considered usefull. Granted I don't think so but some might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachTsurfing Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Dude, that is what I call sportsmanship. I try so hard to not only preach, and teach it. But, to also do it myself when I compete. Belicheat could take some lessons in this department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenn212 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 In the NFL it doesn't make sense to burn your bridges..It is not in your personal interest professionally or regarding your current team. Mangini is smart and he know's this, as does Tannenbaum and Rex. You never know when your path's may cross again.. "Its not personal, it's just business" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hopefully this can mean possibly mean a 3-way trade for Cutler now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangini is smart and he know's this It's even funnier because he's apparently totally serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 It's even funnier because he's apparently totally serious. He had to post that because he dreams to hug one or both of Mangini's nuts and he also had a chance to tell everyone how smart Eric is ... again .... yet .... still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
