Toggle shoutbox NYJETSFAN BANTER

Jets are doing jets related things also... THE KNICKS.

SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:01 AM) Like people need more reasons to stay at home for the game
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:02 AM) Honestly, at this point, the only way I'd go to an NFL game was A. Free tickets B. Tickets were close enough to the field that I felt like I could heckle a player and be heard
santana :	(Today, 12:02 AM) its not stupid its actually genius
santana :	(Today, 12:02 AM) the problem is i know for sure the evil genius behind it is dan snyder and other owners pushing for this shit
santana :	(Today, 12:02 AM) they want their new stadiums to inhale your money from the minute you enter its zipcode
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:03 AM) Genius in the sense that you force people to spend more money
santana :	(Today, 12:03 AM) right
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:03 AM) Baseball stadiums started doing this since right after 9/11
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:03 AM) I used to go to Mets games as a kid with a subway hero
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:04 AM) Now I gotta drop $30 for a burger with fries
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:04 AM) You know what I do? Not go to the fuckin games LOL
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:04 AM) And it's not just me because the Mets suck, Yankees can't sell out anymore at all
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:04 AM) Shit, even Mets vs Yankees wasn't sold out
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:04 AM) That never happened in the 90s
santana :	(Today, 12:04 AM) ghetto fries
santana :	(Today, 12:05 AM) whats amusing is at nationals stadium the staff is the worst
santana :	(Today, 12:05 AM) they don't give a shit
santana :	(Today, 12:05 AM) specially sunday morning
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:06 AM) How so?
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:06 AM) Do they make you watch the Nationals?
santana :	(Today, 12:06 AM) every time they handed me my food or what not then i had to go to the register to pay i just walked away because the queue was too long
santana :	(Today, 12:06 AM) people running the registers just go super slow
santana :	(Today, 12:07 AM) no one there is in charge of making sure the customers are following the process
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:11 AM) Wait, you pay after you get your food?
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:11 AM) How does that even work?
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:11 AM) Everywhere you pay when you place your order
santana :	(Today, 12:12 AM) well its decided getting some booze tomorrow afternoon and drinking every time i head lebron's head band referenced
santana :	(Today, 12:12 AM) like i said the concession stands are a mess
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:12 AM) You might die
santana :	(Today, 12:12 AM) there were multiple people behind the counter
santana :	(Today, 12:13 AM) so you could just go up to it and ask for what you wanted and 1 out of the 5 people would be on a single register
santana :	(Today, 12:13 AM) so eventually you were just handed your food
santana :	(Today, 12:13 AM) expecting for someone to approach the register you were standing infront to charge you
santana :	(Today, 12:13 AM) or you were led to believe maybe you had to go line up to the one that had a cashier with people already waiting on it
santana :	(Today, 12:14 AM) so a lot of the times when i was just handed the food i requested i would stand there look around see them go back to being distracted on their boost mobile phones or whatever reason and walked away
santana :	(Today, 12:14 AM) i got 6 pretzels like this for the group i was with and 3 hot dogs
santana :	(Today, 12:15 AM) my ticket one time had like 5$ towards concessions or what not their scanner wasnt working at the register so it wasnt reading it right or she didnt know what she was doing. she tried to scan it 3 times then litterally just turned away so i was standing there asking if it was all good no one answered so i just walked away with the food
santana :	(Today, 12:18 AM) probably doesn't help that they are hiring people from one of the worst parts of dc
santana :	(Today, 12:19 AM) in fact all the stadiums in dc are in very low income areas probably to exploit this work force
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:31 AM) No stadiums are in low income areas because that's how they get municipal bonds to finance construction. "Look, we're giving black people jobs! Pay for our stadium!!!"
santana :	(Today, 12:32 AM) right
HarlemHxC814 :	(Today, 01:48 PM) New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez will face a lawsuit for allegedly shooting a man after an altercation at a Miami strip club. TMZ.com broke news of this stunning development, as the lawsuit was filed in Florida federal court on Wednesday—five days prior to authorities searching Hernandez's Massachusetts home for an apparently unrelated homicide case.
santana :	(Today, 02:41 PM) A well-placed source told Paul Lukas, who writes Uni Watch for ESPN.com, that Revis paid safety Mark Barron $50,000 to get the No. 24 from the second-year safety.
Mr_Jet :	(Today, 04:06 PM) I've watched about 3 minutes of ESPN today and have already heard the word "headband" twice.
santana :	(Today, 04:13 PM) yea i'm going to get hammered

Jim Popp, GM of Montreal Alouettes in CFL, is believed to be on Jets GM radar as well, I'm told. He had been in mix for Panthers job #nyj

#Jets hired a search firm for their GM job, but it sure seems the search firm is just contacting candidates after reading about them.

Better way to say this: Search firm for #Jets GM seems to be reacting to twitter before they contact candidates

So if they interview the consensus best candidates, they're doing a poor job.

And if they interview people who no one has heard of, they're doing a poor job.

Cool story.

Here is a piece on some of the guys they are interviewing.

http://www.nfl.com/n...s-week-14-notes

Quote

Brian Gaine, Miami Dolphins assistant GM: Miami's been up and down, but one rival GM told me Gaine "really knows what he's doing. And I think he's ready." Gaine has a diverse and varied background and is considered the kind of people person who can be a unifying force.

Quote

Tom Gamble, San Francisco 49ers director of player personnel: A name on the cusp, Gamble has pro and college scouting background, as well as coaching experience. He interviewed in St. Louis last year; that the Niners have sustained last season's success only helps his cause.

Quote

John Idzik, Seattle Seahawks vice president of football administration: Idzik is a sleeper to keep an eye on, because of his versatility. He's a business-side guy who runs the team's cap, but he also does some college scouting for Schneider and has a wealth of experience with franchise rebuilds, going back to Dungy's Bucs.

Quote

Omar Khan, Pittsburgh Steelers director of football and business administration: Long seen as Bill Cowher's GM, Khan might now be less inclined to wait on a coach who might never come back. A really good leader who knows the business, Khan might need to be paired with a strong personnel guy, but he can do the job.

Quote

Marc Ross, New York Giants director of college scouting: A finalist in Chicago last year, Ross is in the running for the Panthers job now. The book on Ross: He's a good communicator and evaluator with, as one Giants official put it, "an executive skill set." One question that came up in my research: Can he win the interview with the owner?

Keep hearing former Broncos GM Ted Sundquist was particularly impressive last Thursday when interviewing for Jets GM job. Sleeper candidate.

Jets doing 2nd interviews Tues. would expect guys like Omar Khan, Russ Ball, Scott Cohen to be in the mix. Sounds like Jerry Angelo is not

It appears Jets will go with external candidate to be new GM (Khan & Idzik have had 2nd interviews). I'm hearing Scott Cohen is on periphery

I love how quiet and thorough the GM search has been:

Quote

@MMehtaNYDN: I'm told former Saints & Dolphins GM Randy Mueller interviewed for Jets' GM job last week. (Angelo & Sundquist also had prior GM exp. #nyj
