Maxman Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 The original title was: Woody's Passion Is Showing This Offseason This is weird. I meant to check out the article yesterday when it came out. Because my first reaction was wow the Jets PR people are going over the top. Yes Woody's ego is bruised and yes he is taking some shots that are unfair. He is a soft target. The PSL fiasco rolls over and he has to deal with that no doubt. But to write fluff pieces about him is just wrong. I think it is odd that they published one and then pulled it back after the fact (assuming that is what happened here, I am not sure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody's Passion Is Showing This Offseason By Randy Lange Editor-in-Chief Published: 03-18-10 For Woody Johnson, the coin flip flap of the past several days was already yesterday's news. "I'm done with that and moving forward," the Jets owner said Wednesday, in an exclusive interview with newyorkjets.com, on the question of the coin toss that he wanted to see decide whether the Jets or Giants got that first regular-season home game at the New Meadowlands Stadium in September. "I would say it was a disagreement over the process and that was it." But Johnson's role in the debate over that prize game speaks to the passion he brings to his job as the Jets' chairman and CEO. He does it for his team, for the fans, for his principles. Some still seem to think Robert Wood Johnson IV is Mr. Nice Guy. Well, he is a nice guy, but as he begins his second decade as the Jets' owner, he continues to come out swinging when he feels the need. "I've been fighting for 10 years," Johnson said. "We're going to fight hard. We fought hard for the stadium. We fight hard to win every year. And there are lots of decisions the public doesn't know about that are difficult and confrontational. "I'm extremely passionate about it." Moving forward, Johnson's passion now takes him back for a while to the day-to-day business of this most important offseason in Jets history. Important because it's the next offseason, of course. Yet with the memory of January's AFC Championship Game appearance still fresh and the opening of the new stadium now less than a half year away, Woody is enjoying the process, along with general manager Mike Tannenbaum and head coach Rex Ryan, of prepping the Jets to attack the 2010 season. "We've Made the Team Better" "I think Mike's done a great job of doing what he does, which is being resourceful and looking for players that fit our team and our coaching staff and our objectives at each position," said Johnson of Tannenbaum and company's transactions so far, with the list topped by Sunday's signing of legendary tailback LaDainian Tomlinson and last week's trade for cornerback Antonio Cromartie. "He and his scouting staff are to be commended for getting things done. These deals are never easy to do, they're never easy. "And we're under a very difficult set of rules, 'the Final Four,' " he said, referring not to his bracket sheet but to the unrestricted free agency signing restrictions placed on the four conference championship teams in this uncapped year. "So I think, especially in that way, it looks like we've made the team better." Johnson is understatedly eager to see what Tomlinson has left in his tank. He thinks it's more full than a lot of NFL experts think. "LaDainian is pretty much a household name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HessStation Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I went from being down on Woody since the West Side Stadium fell through to being a HUGE fan. The guy just lost his daughter too. Probably a little emotional with good reason. The fact that he showed to give a **** about his football franchise gets a big thumbs up from me!!! Keep on witcha bad-self Woody. You da man!

burf Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Happy to help ya. Reading it, I suspect it may've been this line, that caused Jets PR to pull it... "LaDainian is pretty much a household name — a long name, but a household name," he said playfully. In these days of political correctness, maybe someone *could* interpret it with racial overtones.

war ensemble Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Maybe this is an ingenious PR scheme? They put up a message about how devoted the owner is, pull it afterwards, and leave the commonfolk wondering what caused this deletion. Thus, the fan gets the idea of his owner being devoted stuck in his head for a while as we discuss the problem. But ten bucks says that is not the case here lol.
