Instead of using his football acumen (or that of his front office) to select his last two GMs, Woody has been using outside consultants. The first bunch of Jokers selected John Idzick, now thr two long time football geniuses selected Mac. Meenwhile Tanny (who was fired to make room for these two prodigies) rebuilt the Dolphins who just clinched the playoffs.
Strange but true Of course things can always change for Miami the way they did during Tannys tenure with the Jets...no guarantees I was on board with Casserly and Wolfe but why did we not hire one of them (with great GM track records) vs getting Mac?? Ive said it before ..model your program and learn from Giants Pittsburgh and NE I am just out of answers for this Team
Woody is the best,,look at the lovely stadium and location he had them build us,,,,,,,,Just sell the team Woodrow and move to London please
Many of us on the GG grew up in nice middle class homes or pulled themselves up from a family upbringing with financial , emotional hardship None of us can comprehend the world of snobbery and privilege, omnipotence ,grandiosity, selfishnesss of the uber wealthy Woody is not smart ( of course he thinks he is)...Woody is no D Trump
Can we crowd source for 51% and let Bon Jovi get the other 49%? He can take pictures and shake hands and all football decisions are made by a commitee like in Green Bay. No more Woody Johnson (still the best name in sports) and the owner gets headlines and spotlight on his own so he cna let the football gusy do the football things.
+10000 Man I mentioned Bon Jovi as an owner couple of times and got shot down If he has a Football Smarts partner hey why not??
Then he shouldn't own a football team if he can't tune out the noise. Tough shit, woody. Either that or give up full control of day to day operations to someone who knows what the fuck they are doing.
With the number of fans the Jets apparently have in, one of, their home states. I'd be hard pressed to imagine there are even 200k Jets fans. Let alone 200k with 10k to drop on buying this sorry ass team. It would explain why away teams can get their fans into the games at such impressive numbers. I bet half the season ticket holders are just NY business people that couldn't bought the tickets for show because they couldn't get st for any of the other major sports teams. This season has been depressing.
He comes off as a fan of the sport that wants to be one of the "cool kids in the owners box." If he has smart football people making the decisions i have no issue with him being "the face" of the franchise. As for him being a P*ts fan, i think that's more of him being a football fan and Kraft tugging him off to keep celebs around. Obviously i would love a Jets fan to take the helm over anything. the issue is who is a fan with a large enough networth? the only one I can think of Larry David, estimated networth $800. It seams like a lot of trust fund kids buy teams for the spotlight. if it's a celeb sports fan they already get their attention elsewhere and can back off and let the football people do their jobs.
I remember Curtis Martin said he was interested in ownership a while back. It'd be cool if he could get his foot in the door with the Jets.
