oh hah, didn't realize, figured it was once he stopped playing in games, not that he played on his busted ankle

Yeah, it was one of those, well that's a high ankle sprain, and then he... missed one game and just looked sad out there.

Which is how every Pats WR looked over the last two months, just... lame.


Kinda curious to see if the absolute burying he's received over the last few days was even a little real or not.

Must be nice being a marginal player on the Vikings and knowing this smirking guaranteed money dipshit is putting your health and payday at risk. Very cool!

quote:

On the podcast, Cousins said that for him, wearing a mask "is really about being respectful to other people," an approach he doubled down on during his press conference.

"That's what it's all about, right?" he said. "That was what I was trying to say in July is that I want to be very respectful and considerate of everyone else. It's a great opportunity to show that every day with the way you wash your hands consistently and wear a mask and are respectful of other people."

It doesn’t include the rest of the interview where he says wearing masks is important and a sign of respect for others.

I wish he could win a prime time game ever but like “I don’t believe this is a personal risk to me but I will do all I can to prevent it being a risk to others” is a pretty spot on take

This is Mehta who I vaguely remember is there to be antagonistic more than report, but I choose to 100% believe the second thing here.

31 NFL teams have figured out how to get players and coaches meeting in person. The Jets haven’t bothered

quote:

1) Ownership did not want to spend the necessary amount of money to create an environment that would adhere to Environmental Protection Agency recommendations for proper ventilation, and

2) Gase’s reluctance to push back since he has a general preference to limit face-to-face interactions with players.

Manish was stripped of his press credentials to cover the team by the NFL for (allegedly, but it was definitely him) creating a fake Adam Gase burner Twitter account, which he used to help write clickbait.

Also, Clowney is between Seahawks and Titans.

I mean that's just speculation then? The burner account thing was last year. Seems strange it would take that long for them to decide to revoke his credentials.

Manish is a strange character because he's about as big of a hack as you can find in the NFL and at the same time his animosity for the Jets as an organization is totally justified.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:

No but the "burner" was literally tweeting out Mehta articles and then quickly deleting them so you do the math.

I imagine the credentials got stripped because he's just an unprofessional idiot, not specifically because of the burner. He regularly posts articles without any sourcing whatsoever (e.g. "the Jets are about to sign Logan Ryan") and is generally just a bomb thrower. The Jets beat also apparently hates him because he routinely posts hit pieces about coaches, front office people, etc., and then doesn't show up to pressers to talk to them in person. Even if he's right about people like Gase, it's sort of a principle thing that rubs everyone the wrong way. Also sort of ironic he's going at Gase for the same thing tbh.

Manish writing a hit piece about the Jets not holding in-person player/coach meetings during the height of a pandemic within a severely affected state is disingenuous at best.

It good that they chose to do this remotely. That's safe. Literally buying out a hotel to maintain a training camp bubble of sorts is safe(r). I think one of the major lessons of the last 6 months is why the gently caress do people need to sit across the table to talk about the same poo poo they can say over Zoom?

Mostly weird attempts at gate-keeping on who is good or not in camp because access is so restricted.

He sort of infamously years ago mixed up a guy saying he was more of a 3-technique and turned around and said he was a 3-gap player, to sort of put that in perspective.

Pretty much. He still reports on the team for Daily News but he's not in attendance at the facilities or on their Zoom sessions with coaches/players.
