@ProFootballTalk It's ok, @ProFootballTalk. Just glad I could help. And at least Florio can stop emailing the league for comment on the "new criticisms" now.

[Mike Gianakos @MikeCheckG]

@boomiefootball @ProFootballTalk The article was changed right after the "new criticisms" bit was pointed out. A new paragraph suddenly appears at the end explaining the quotes were from last year. But no "update" or "Ed Note" included

[Mike Gianakos @MikeCheckG]

@ProFootballTalk Again, this is all from last year's report card (the 2025 report card is from the 2024-2025 season). Here's the Woody Johnson-specific feedback published in last year's survey: https://t.co/9IJFWY7SV4

[Mike Gianakos @MikeCheckG]

@ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk Just FYI, these criticisms aren't new. They're from last year's report card. The example you used about the Jets is written almost verbatim in the team's report card from last season (2024 season = 2025 report card). https://t.co/p2D5Z2ISr2

@quincywilliams_ I say this as a life-long Jets fan. This is complete BS and you deserve better. The people running the show are in way over their heads. Get away from this trash organization and be happy (I wish I could).

@MySportsUpdate Where are we getting 22 penalties from? There were 11 on the Bengals and 7 on the Broncos. Still a lot of flags but assuming my math is correct, that's 18...

Last season @TheJudge44 led #MLB in pretty much every meaningful offensive stat, dragging the #yankees to the WS & unanimously winning #ALMVP but bettors believe @BwittJr has closed thee gap. He's now the AL MVP favorite https://t.co/QqNDUD5RDy

We've got an #NFL Combine fight! Between two reporters. At a Starbucks... https://t.co/kdi1u1QKzR

The #NFL will switch to an electronic system for measuring first downs in 2025 after 130 years of using two sticks connected by a chain. Yet another league change stemming from a #Bills playoff loss #BillsMafia https://t.co/8rNdbMqBK9

[Mike Gianakos @MikeCheckG]

The #Jets QB situation has been a mess since Vinny's 1998 campaign. Maybe NYJ draft Dart, Ewers or Howard to develop but why not sign @rush_cooper on a 1-year deal to compete with @TyrodTaylor for the starting gig in '25? He'd cost about $1M less than TT https://t.co/3jFSsrGEkb

[Mike Gianakos @MikeCheckG]

Can anyone explain to me why the #Rams are in such a big damn hurry to move on from @CooperKupp and @mstafford after narrowly losing to the eventual champs 28-22 on the road in the divisional round? https://t.co/5TvYGwtwOY

[Mike Gianakos @MikeCheckG]

It's physically painful to even suggest this after @TreyDeuce32RTR added legitimacy to the #jets defense over 6 seasons but it's time to move on and lock up @JamienSherwood on a longterm deal. NYJ actually developed a legit replacement. Shocking. https://t.co/DWw2gDMHpE

[Mike Gianakos @MikeCheckG]

The Jets don't have much cap space. And given that the team is essentially punting on 2025 in the name of culture building, NY won't be players in FA. But with 23 UFA looking for deals, NYJ have to make some moves. Here's my take on the Jets' 2025 FA plan https://t.co/3jFSsrGEkb

Wow. The DEA is actually going to reschedule cannabis in the CSA. Finally moving it out of Schedule I (the most addictive substances with no medicinal value) to Schedule III. Imperfect but a massive step forward. #cannabis #DEA #reschedule

In honor of 420, let's revisit an old Free Weed episode recorded live at the 2018 NorCal Cup when @DannyDanko and I were lucky enough to chat with The Waldos who explain the origins of 420 and debunk some myths surrounding the marijuana cipher #420 #Waldos

Should the #Jets move up in the draft to grab Harrison Jr or Nabers? They're competing w/the WR needy #Cardinals and #Chargers at 4 & 5. NYJ could stick it out & pray Rome Odunze falls to 10. Or take a top OL there. GB has our 2nd rd pick so not much to bargain with this year.
