Cimini has been writing for ESPN for like 2 decades, I'm sure they let him stretch his legs writing, just not anything of real substance.
If you are choosing to believe bullshit that was denied by the team that's on you. But this is not a fact at all.
I'm not sure I understand why you are so quick to dismiss it. I mean, damn man, there is SOMETHING on in that building and whatever it is the results are on the field and they aren't good. 14 years in, oh I can abso-fuckin'-lutely believe some numb nut kid is providing player advice via Madden. It's too laughable to believe that actual "football men" are this freakin' incompetent.
Do you even know how to spell "journalism" because it's very clear that you do not understand the concept it embraces. How could it be insubordination for a reporter to report what he learns? What media outlet encourages their reporters to hide information the public wants to know? And why would they?
Painting the broad brush of journalism on the duties of a beat writer is pretty bogus considering what they have produced in the past couple of decades consistently as a group. I never said anything about hiding information so I don't know where you got that. Just follow the logic, you'll get there.
Again, if the Madden thing were true, I just don't think we would be signing the very player mentioned in the article negatively impacted by Madden rankings (Simpson) the minute tampering period opened. It does not make any sense, but if you want to believe it, go ahead. As far as Brick, yes it looks like Woody did bring a 17 year old kid to the locker room at some point, and he gave a ball to GW, who played well, but so what? That's doesn't mean the guy is running the show. Is it so unusual for an owners kid to come to the locker room sometimes? I personally don't give a fuck, and sure as hell it does not mean he is running the show. That's not why we stunk for last 14 years, since the kid was 3 years old btw - am I sure he wasn't the running the team then . Though he might as well have, we stunk anyway. Woody's problem is that he always keeps missing on GM and Coach, just too dumb and doesn't have an eye for good football people. After Tanny/Rex he hasn't hired anyone decent. I just hope AG and Mooge are it by pure luck. Then our fortunes can change. But it has nothing to do with Brick.
Are you trying to tell us that a sports reporter is not a journalist? And if not advocating hiding information why would a reporter's employer charge them with being insubordinate for writing about that information? You really are not making sense in what you write here.
I can see it will be the same logic twisting argumentative yoga with you, which is why I usually don't bother.
You write things that make no sense then, rather than clarify, attack. Have it your way - maybe you should just "not bother" to post here at all.
12 pages about Madden ratings? Look, it’s obvious we’re not using Madden ratings because we’d probably be alot better if we did.
Hahahaha https://www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/f...erNewsId=00000195-4306-d5ee-a795-6fb6cbbf0000 Jets owner Woody Johnson received an F from players who responded to an NFLPA survey. The NFLPA report card, which included responses from nearly 1,700 active NFL players, had Johnson as the only owner to get a failing grade. Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell, and Panthers owner David Tepper were the only owners to get a D on the NFLPA’s report card. It’s hardly a surprise that Johnson would get such low marks after another failed season, his commitment to Aaron Rodgers, and reports that Johnson’s children had made roster decisions based on Madden ratings. Johnson, who reportedly took control over the Jets front office midway through the catastrophic 2024 season, would do well to step aside and let head head coach Aaron Glenn take charge of the organization.
But wait! I thought the Pats were the best team to work for based on the owner. Robert Kraft is so bad that the Pats were Mike Vrabel's 1st choice to become coach. Also, Woody Johnson is SO BAD that the Jets were Aaron Glenn's 1st choice.
"The NFLPA released its annual team report cards, a survey of 1,695 players who graded their respective teams in various categories. The Jets players sent a loud message to Johnson, giving ownership an F -- the only team in the league to do so."
