    This guy is a freaking moron. He bashes the Jets because he truly has no information. His source is probably a janitor who works in the office building or whatever LOL

    You can have anonymous sources without your editor breaking your balls asking for names. Especially with twitter. Its not like he has an editor and fact checker looking at his tweets. Its also possible he could have sources in Jets camp who stretch the truth for him.

    Don't you find it surprising that people in the Jets organization after all the silence are now coming out talking to this guy. Hes not even getting quotes from Rex. Hes getting quotes from anonymous sources who paraphrase Rex.

    Also he can't easily be exposed. Pretty difficult in fact.

    Manish is for the casual fan, I refuse to be a puppet of the NYDN. I don't believe everything I read. People want to stir up some shit so be it - plenty of people on twitter that know more about the Jets.

    NYDN = TMZ

    Don't you think it would take one jealous ny daily news employee saying something to have him be exposed?or a disgruntled fired employee

    Its not like Manish is firing people. And a journalist is allowed to keep his sources private so what evidence would there be of it. Im not saying hes a flat out liar but its obvious at times that he is stretching the truth and he is consistently wrong. Incarcerated Bob has been right more often than Mehta.

    We were supposed to sign Verner according to him. Plus countless other free agents.

    Obviously,I don't go on twitter or many other sports websites ,mostly just listen to radio and read papers at work and come on here,but you really don't offer a good argument for why it isn't true,if someone can find some reliable info that he is lying then that's a diffrent story

    It might be a combination of both. But I got the feeling that he just threw stuff on the wall hoping it would stick.

    Wow..he really wrote that? He had no credibility with anybody here to begin with but that kind of quote could and should cost him his job.

    I don't think so at all. Cimini has taken jabs at Jets and Woody before, but he hasn't even had a run of anonymous source stories always painting the Jets out to be terrible. He also isn't on this kick about conspiracy theories to try and get Rex fired.

    And his last paragraph is basically a summation of good thinking. You can't grade a guy after one week, the draft is talent filled, and we've that a lot of times winning March doesn't lead to winning in Sept-Dec.

    But for this article, none of that came out. It was level headed article I thought.

    Mehta couldn't scoop a pile of dog shit off the sidewalk, let alone a story on the Jets.

    Cmon U R just deluding yourselves IMHO. The reasons are real simple which is we have won NOTHING I will repeat that NOTHING in the last 45 years. You have to realize that we are one of the laughing stocks of the league like Jax :mad:

    That doesn't let reporters be bias or try to push stories. That is separate situations.

    And no we aren't a laughing stock in the league. As much as people want to push that, 2012 Jets was what they were looking for with laughingstock. Last year was a relatively normal year for an okay team with a rookie QB. This year, the Jets are even more quiet.
