Saleh texts Joe Beningo “Are you serious?” When Joe asked him if he would start

It's like we're an NFL plant to serve as comedic relief for the league.

 

what was the name of the “team” the Harlem Globetrotters brought out to kick the crap out of

 

Saleh probably meant are you serious? How many times did you ask me to bench him?

 

Washington generals

 

That’s what I’m thinking too

 

He’d be better off texting Francesa

 

I really think this is what Saleh meant.

It’s not what Benigno said, but I think it’s what Saleh meant.

 

Definitely. I’ve always liked benigno, but will feel different if he knowingly tried to spin the comment off course

 

I’d delete Benigno’s number after this if I’m Saleh.

Clown move IMO.

 

And to think we had a jet fan that could text the coach and share our frustrations…. And he may have blown it

 

Nope, I can't get past the fact that Saleh is texting Benigno of all fucking people. This is lame on the level of Pettine playing hoops with Manish.

 

I’m more surprised Joe knows how to text.

Agreed though, that’s pretty whack on Joe B. And what is Saleh 12 years old? Texting about how he doesn’t like one of his grown-man employees?

 

I find it hard to believe that Joe would bring this up if that wasn't the proper context. Breaking his confidence is bad enough, but spinning it so that the coach looks bad like that when it's not true is a whole other level.

Of course, it's entirely possible that he himself misunderstood the context, he is not the brightest bulb. But regardless, it's a bullshit move that he told the story on the air.

 

Agreed. Complete bush league move on his part.

 

mike probably doesnt know how to use text

 

Mikey said he was in da building when they made the texting.

 

Ya know, are we sure Saleh isn’t playing beningo like a set of spoons? The fact that beningo shared the Zach thing + that Saleh texted him the other HC’s records w/o their starting QB’s seems rather odd. Plus, as stupid as beningo is, I find it hard to believe that he is going rouge and blasting everything told him in confidence and losing this kind of access to the H. Of the NYJ

 

What do you mean he doesn't know how to text? He invented texting. Doesn't know how to text. He'd hang up on you in a millisecond for even thinking that, much less say it out loud.

 

Joe reading private conversation like that is really lame and going forward any insider that he happens to have access to should cease communicating with him.
