John "my tummy hurts" Abraham? You're a filthy rich NFL player...I feel real bad for guys like you every time I get up to go to work, sweat my ass off while I'm at work and every time I write another check for another bill. Go fuck yourself.
John Abraham had no balls. he was injured all the the time, Why the fuck we going to give you a big contract when you were always hurt ? Man Up !
Fantastic player but I'm glad we got Mangold for him. I'll take a pro-bowl center who appears to break his leg twice a season and only misses 1 snap over a pro-bowl pass rusher who misses the most important games of his career. I'm a big believer in post-season performances. You can have all the stats you want during the regular season, but if you don't play or can't play at the same level in the post-season, you are essentially useless to the team.
The media has a love affair with the Jets ever since Ryan got here. They try to get as much negative stuff out there about us as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if a reporter asked him a few questions. Also, it's a long offseason and I'm sure some people might have went after him on twitter.
How about the stories about how Jabe used to smoke up all the time and then he got that DWI that was insane like he drank a full keg of Vodka..... Relax Jabe, you dug your own grave a little around here. Though I agree Herm is a total tool who had no clue - it' snot his fault though Herm was pushed thru the ranks and was WAY out of his league. Someone should Tweet jabe THIS: "The partying continued, even when Abraham got healthy. He dozed off in film sessions so often that defensive end Shaun Ellis would answer a coach's questions for his roommate, praying it would go unnoticed." So, they were supposed to spend top dollar on a guy who slept in meetings...LOL
HEY JOHN... Ya think anything in this article had something to do with a team not wanting to spend top dollar on you???? YOU DID NOT GIVE 100% IN NEW YORK......................... PERIOD. YOU COULD NOT MAKE IT HERE! http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print...magesPrint=off Abraham believes Falcons will surprise -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Seth Wickersham ESPN The Magazine Until then, Abraham wasn't known as a partyer. But liberated from game preparation, he joined the vets who went straight from practice to the bars. He drank, mostly Hennessy and Coke but in reality, "whatever was in front of me." He smoked pot, too. And if he stayed out until 6 a.m., he was drinking until 6 a.m. Teammates handing him shot after shot -- and women vying for his attention -- helped ease the stings he felt at work. "I had low self-esteem," Abraham says. "I needed other people to tell me what to do. If they wanted to go to a club, I'd go." The partying continued, even when Abraham got healthy. He dozed off in film sessions so often that defensive end Shaun Ellis would answer a coach's questions for his roommate, praying it would go unnoticed. Yet Abraham was still named to the team's 10 Wisemen, the Jets' tribunal of leaders, and elected as a United Way spokesman. He was popular because he was a Pro Bowl player -- with 23 total sacks in 2001 and 2002, Abraham went to Hawaii both seasons -- who bonded with the club-going crowd. "It was fun, really," Ellis says. "Get done with practice, play video games at home, go have a good time at night." The fun ended on Oct. 1, 2003. Abraham went to a bar with friends and teammates, then to Gentlemen's Quarters, a club on Long Island. When he left at 10 p.m., Abraham did what he now says is "the stupidest thing I've ever done." He climbed into his 2003 Hummer, and within minutes he crashed into a light pole and fire hydrant. No one was hurt, but Abraham landed in jail with a DWI charge and a blood-alcohol level of .26 -- more than three times the legal limit of .08. But it's what happened after his arrest that shapes how he's handling the Vick situation. As a team the Jets publicly supported him, but privately Abraham began to feel isolated. Fewer guys stopped by his locker. His cell rang less. He was dropped from the 10 Wisemen, even though he quit drinking a year after the wreck and was wiser post-arrest than he ever was as a member. When his body started breaking down with various injuries, teammates and coaches thought he was jaking. Abraham remembers injuring his knee in 2004 and then-defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson's telling him that he didn't think Abraham was injured at first; the coach told Abraham he thought he was "just being a bitch." Abraham's credibility was shot. It didn't matter that he completed the NFL's substance-abuse program. Or that he lectured at the rookie symposium about the dangers of alcohol. When Eric Mangini took over the Jets in 2006, he decided Abraham didn't mesh with his new regime. "I was alone," Abraham says. "It was my character being questioned, and my situation that everyone on the team was asked about."
I don't buy that, I think a pass rusher as good as John Abraham fits anywhere, we might have won it all last year if we had one. Having said that, I agree with the angry mob here that Abraham himself came up small every time we needed him, in contrast to Chad Pennington risking (and likely ruining) his career to play in those very same playoff games. Regarding Herm, when he told Abraham he'd always be a Jet it's very likely he believed and wanted that to be the case at the time he said it. Herm didn't make the personnel moves.
He was a great pass rusher . . . when he played, and if he could've acted like more of a professional on and off the field, he would've been paid by the Jets. Drafting Mangold was certainly a nice consolation prize, but we really need that edge rusher.
I am the opposite. I've always been an apologist, especially for the flu game. Now? These comments are the act of a bitch. He's playing on a playoff-caliber team. It's time for him to stop whining about the past. That said I agree about it being interesting to hear his side of the story. Twitter isn't the place for that though.
He played in the '02 game vs. Indy so he played in one career playoff win. He had a huge impact in our '01 season ending win at oak which got us into the playoffs, unfortunately he was sick the next week and Gannon had all day to throw and tore us apart.
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny...... That was then.........and this is now. ....and you WERE a self absorbed pussy who sat out a playoff game. Fuck off. Those Jets are dead........ Long Live the Rex Ryan Jets !!!
umm Abe it's time to move on. The Jets have and after several years you should too! Glory days by bruce is on the radio- perfect!
