He's not going to sell the team. Year after year it's one of the most profitable teams in the league. He's not going to dump this cash cow.
thanks for this thread!! yes woody is the problem....and the underlining problem is that woody never worked a day in his life and must have a serious drug problem. if you ever saw the documentary made my his daughter 15 plus years ago you would have seen the dude was seriously drugged up in it.... ....and of course we know how that daughter passed away.... pills are a problem and i'm sure a billionaire who owns a pharmaceuticals company has no problem getting his fix.
In the late 70s, after a generation of abysmal football, the league basically strong armed the Giants and Wellington Mara into hiring their hand-picked outside GM, George Young, who eventually hired Ray Perkins, which led to Parcells. The Jets need that kind of intervention. They simply can't accomplish anything in house.
ive believed for years that woody johnson is a huge part of hte problem. ive watched ownership groups set the tone for their franchises for my entire life and have noticed that the same handful of teams seem to be consistent winners with different players and coaches, with the constant being the ownership group. i have seen it also more often where it doesnt matter what coaches or players or gms the team has they will still be terrible, its because of their dogshit ownership. the problem is that the other guy who probably still wants the jets is dolan, and he could be more of a fucktard than woody.
I disagree. Jacksonville is a college football town. NY is the largest media market in the country. It hurts the league much worse to have this kind of entrenched wretchedness in NY. You can't have a NY team that is basically unwatchable and expect the overall product won't suffer. I'm not sure the league is in a place where it could happen any more anyway. I'd figure Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland, maybe Buffalo, would get the intervention before the Jets though.
The Jets won 10 games last year. They won 11 games in 2010. You forget how absolutely wretched the Giants were from 1966 to 1979. 14 seasons and 3 years over .500 with 1-12-1, 2-11-1, 2-12, 3-11 in the mix. The Jets have been .500 or better 6 of the last 9 seasons with only 2012, 2014 and now 2016 underwater. There is a big problem at this point but we're entering the really bad phase not stuck in it forever already. If the Jets haven't found the answer at QB by 2019 or so, well then yeah the NFL would be perfectly justified in forcing a sale or a move out of one of the key markets.
