Summary

After painting the bleakest picture yet of the New York Jets, the crew tries to find the one possible silver lining: if this thing fully detonates, does Woody Johnson finally have his “James Dolan moment” where he spends big on a true franchise savior and then actually steps back? They debate what the Jets are missing most, not just a quarterback or an OC, but a real football “filter” between ownership and the people trying to do the job. The frustration boils over when money enters the chat: rumors of Aaron Glenn earning massive dollars, fans getting crushed by rising costs at MetLife Stadium, and the core question that drives every call: if you are charging people a fortune, how do you not do everything possible to win? Plus, calls pour in as Jets fans hit their breaking point, from “denouncing” fandom to wondering if the league would ever step in, while the show circles back to the reality that competence is the rarest commodity in this building right now.

0:03.5

Like this is as bad as it's ever been as a jet fan.

0:07.1

And I was able to come up with one positive.

If this blows up the way it is already blowing up.

This is miserable.

And the jets go 2 and 15 and it's a disaster. Does Woody Johnson

finally have his James Dolan moment? Which is? Which is I'm going to spend a fortune to bring

0:29.2

in the next savior of this franchise and I'm going to get the hell out of the way. Now, I've

0:33.7

said this numerous times and I've been wrong at every turn. Oh, this is the moment what he learns. This is the moment what he learns. But eventually, you would think you learn. Yeah. That's the only positive I can come up with because the rest of it is a dumpster fire. Well, I mean, this is why, I don't know when I said this two weeks ago, it was right after Matt Ryan got hired to this new role with the Atlanta

0:54.4

Falcons. The Jets need that role. The problem is who is the person to have that role. And it's

0:59.5

not necessarily someone to run the football operations per se, but it's someone to be the filter

1:06.3

between Woody and the rest of the football people. Right. To keep Woody away, basically.

1:10.7

Well, yes, but also keep Woody away, basically.

1:17.4

Well, yes, but also keep him connected, but like through a filter, a football filter,

1:21.9

as opposed to a, this is just my emotional reaction to what I feel like needs to happen.

1:25.9

And so make what Woody wants to do sound football relevant.

1:26.3

Yeah.

1:44.2

What really is pissing me off, like sometimes I get angryrier as I start to think about things and I'm getting really, really angry right now is that I get Aaron Glenn makes a lot of money. It makes a lot of money to be a head coach and he hasn't proven anything, but Woody gave him a huge contract. There are rumors that he's making as much as what, $12 million a year? Okay. I get that. If Aaron

1:46.1

Glenn, who is your coach, that's a lot of money for our first ad met coach, just saying. Yeah, that's a lot of, you know what else is a lot of money? What's that? What they charge people to go to MetLife Stadium? So I don't want to freaking hear it. That's why I'm getting I don't want to hear it.
