While in this case, I think hardball needs to be played, this indirect way of setting fans up is insulting and the media's complicity indicates how incompetent they are. A recent look at Jet's reporting is that there are stories (e.g., Vinny starting the second game when he came back and before Herm's recent stupid announcement) where the Jets FO prepared fandom (sufferers) for another Jets mistake by making sure they saw the idea in black and while attributed first to a respected news source. What do I think? However it is packaged, shit smells the same. This team deserves a more robust media that holds the failures of of those who are comfortable with how things are (or incapable of taking us further). We also deserve a FO with the guts to say how things are and will be and the competence to do most things right. harlan Personally, I think this type of crap indicates yet another brown-nosing reporter who gets this shit directly from Jets' brass hoping to put pressure on Chad and at the same time insulate themselves from fans who may be upset with the fallout of playing hardball (I refuse to consider the inanity that the Jets FO would pay another $3 mil to keep Chad as 3rd stringer — that is too dumb even for Terry B).
