Quite an excellent point here. People are putting way too much emphasis on Rex's influence or lack thereof. We all need to keep in mind that Rex is a year removed from being a rookie head coach, meaning he will make mistakes and learn from them. Coaches go through growing pains in different ways. Mangini couldn't manage a game to save his life but I'm sure he has gotten better at it in Cleveland (just guessing, never seen a Mangini coached game after he left...) Back to the original point in the quote above...there is only so much a coach can do becase players ultimately are going to do what they want. They need to lay off Rex...didn't people watch Hard Knocks??? The whole coaching staff is not laid back like Rex. Westhoff is a hard ass, Tannenbaum doesn't mess around and we can also list more names but the notion about it starts off at the top is being way overblown.
On another note...a caller on 1050 made me laugh my ass off yesterday. he was talking about how Woody grew up with a silver spoon hanging around with nerds his whole life. Now he's surrounded by Rex and the "cool kids" and Woody feels like he's the shit. I was laughing so hard.
I'm not so sure. Did you hear what he said the day that the LT arrest came out? He was like, "I'm going to wait for all the facts" and "who's to say that the girl isn't lying." If he wasn't willing to bash a Giants hero for a rape charge against a minor, I'll be shocked if he can muster the feigned outrage over a Giants DWI.
Wooo..lmbo! I wish I woulda heard that. That Shit is funny.... But what proves that he is a 1 sided fuknaught is that exactly 1 week b4 he DIDN'T wait for the facts and absolutely hammered Santonio on the ipod airplane BS ...what happened? It was BS, He was wrong and he NEVER admitted to it. Fuk this dude, really.
This is so true. I get NY magazine, my mom pays the sub. My wife reads it a lot more than me. No homo. Anyway, there is a piece this past issue about the Jets and Woody. It reads just like what the guy was saying. It talks about how Woody is like the kid talking tough because his bodyguard Rex is there...
Video at the link below - here's an exact quote of what Fatty said after his hero LT was busted. Remember, we're talking about an alleged rape of a minor who had been forced into prostitution. Now contrast that with the charge against Edwards, and how quick Fatty was to condemn him. Here's what Mushnick said about Fatty's handling of the LT incident. http://njfrogman.blogspot.com/2010/05/mushnick-ny-post-run-with-our-mike.html
Francesa just said the Steelers have a great defense. He still refuses to admit the Jets had a great defense last year or this year.
The Jets Blog on Fatty I thought this was spot on, and underscores how Fatty has jumped the shark when it comes to the Jets http://www.thejetsblog.com/2010/09/24/lets-get-it-all-out-there-cheeseburgers-catcalls/#more-30561
Because we all know that when statistically you are the number one defense in the NFL, that isn't a great defense, since as Fatty likes to note "da jets cant get saks without blizin'. Dat's not a great deefense."
He was talking about Cromartie and the Jets pass D on my way home from work, and said you don't know what Jets D you will get without Revis, the one that shutout the Pats in the second half or the one vs the Ravens. Did he completely forget that Revis played every play vs Baltimore he just didnt guard Boldin the entire game. Again making up facts.
To the people who wanted video of this madness rant by Francesa at Peter Schwartz here ya go: [youtube]M896lwwzolk[/youtube] Good, Good stuff.
little known fact, but to get that 80's-style shine and hold on his hair MF has to scoop up handfuls of turds in public toilets and really pat it down for a good solid 15 minutes every day
