@vegasjetsfan @NYJetsTFMedia @JetMet69 @ChadPennington The only two things Namath has over Pennington (or Ken O’Brien for that matter) is a) passing yards and b) a ring. Namath threw 170 td’s and 215 INTs, completion ratio was 50%, career QBR was 65.8. Maybe a ring is all that matters here, but Namath was a decidedly mediocre QB.

@SavageLandUSA @Justin4ocho @Phil_Lewis_ I can’t tell if this is a real comment coming from a Trump supporter, or if it’s just tongue in cheek humor.

Hopefully the latter, but if the former: if we’re looking for a prime example of a person that “says things as if they are facts”… I have some bad news for you.

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@Justin4ocho @Phil_Lewis_ Noted. I retract my bandwagon comment. But tonight he’s citizen Trump, not President Trump. Booing and heckling tonight seems totally appropriate given where we’re at.

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@Justin4ocho @Phil_Lewis_ And people forget the president works for citizens. He’s a public servant. I’m all for respecting the office when the occasion calls for it (I wouldn’t boo him in the Oval or an official event), but when he appears in a non-gov’t capacity, that privilege goes away in opinion.

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@Justin4ocho @Phil_Lewis_ And the great thing about the US is that you’re perfectly entitled to your opinion. No one was booing the anthem; it’s more that he doesn’t respect our Constituion or anthything in the oath he took.

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@chiky_handlr Fun fact:

In the first 16 months of Trump 2.0, he’s has been accused of nodding off 18 times.

Biden’s FIRST 16 months: accused of 5 nods

Biden’s his LAST 16 months (peak Joe sleepiness): accused of 12 nods.

ALL of these are too high, but Trump loves comparisons to Joe.

@HQNewsNow I think the critical reading skills on most of these responses are lacking:

The WH said that he had an ANNUAL (implying once per year) check up in October. Cool.

Why now the SEMI-ANNUAL, “annual” check ups?

Isn’t he - and i’ll paraphrase - in “off the charts perfect health”?

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@Justin4ocho @nyjets Just when you think they can’t sink any lower… well… here we are.

@ellekarmawrites @char_cliff @BrickStOxford @WLWT @BarstoolMiamiU @usahockey @jhugh86 @spittinchiclets @TKACHUKycheese_ @NBCOlympics Yep—fellow Miami alum. We would have motored through and just stayed up all night until the bar opened (à la Green Beer Day)

@Connor_J_Hughes Who would have thought Darnold would somehow end up in a Super Bowl against the Patriots?

Every Jets fan ever.

This is just how things go. I just can’t quit them though, dammit.

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@nyjets That’s swell, but how did the OC interview with Gruden go??!?

Fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@TheJetPress Gruden turning it down isn’t the worst part… Woody thinking he had a snowball’s chance in hell to bring on Jon Gruden as anything other than a HC is the worst part of this story.

Just a sad, sad franchise.

How many more days until the 2027 draft?

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@WhiteHouse @PressSec Nothing says “freedom of press” like shaming a reporter for explaining his - very legitimate - POV.

I don’t think Karoline understands what her job is. Or… you know… how to deal with a different view point diplomatically.

This whole administration is a joke.

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@LikeImages @Ihartitz What has McKee done? Didn’t he pick apart the Bengals starting D to the tune of something like 20/25 for 250 yards, 3 TDs, and a 150 passer rating??

He’s talented and has been sitting behind Jalen Hurts for a few seasons, learning how to play the game from him.

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@JakeAsman What would have been an acceptable response? Not his choice when the organization decides to begin tanking.

And as others have mentioned, he doesn’t pick players — Woody and Madden 2027 will be making those calls.

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@BenClapperton @JakeAsman Exactly. What do people want him to say? Tough to continuously get jammed up with questions like this while coaching through an obvious tank job—everyone in the room knows what’s actually going on here.

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@Heshykpvm @Doug_Foreman @JBNorwacky @JakeAsman I dunno, maybe it’d be better if he DID double check things through Google once in a while instead of relying on video game stats as his source of info.

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@VinandtheJets @BostonConnr @woodyjohnson4 Precisely. The team’s valuation keeps rising year after year no matter what happens. Why the hell would he give a shit? It’s a cash cow for him.

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@LJV_Treasury @JakeAsman Ticket sales/concessions only make up ~20% of their annual revenue... media rights are 3x more impactful on revs.

Jets are 7th most highly valued franchise in the NFL at $8.1B.

I doubt very little Woody gives two sh*ts about an empty stadium in late Dec of a lost season.

[Rich Kotite @HCRichKotite]

@StevieVanZandt In fairness, the Giants are playing the Raiders… it’s got to be pretty hard to tank a game against them even if they tried.
