@thepressbox.bsky.social is “unabashedly” an only in Journalism word that one would never use in conversation?

Thank you @joelanderson.bsky.social for holding @bryancurtis.bsky.social to account over the Fox lawsuit. Lies by the media need to be called out and have consequences, not normalized. “The argument for dumb people” was the icing on the cake. Great job!

The #Jets won the narrative today. They handled their business, and the story got out that they have grown a spine, and they didn’t have to say a word. If he’s as good a coach as he was in the room that day, we might have something good brewing here.

Congratulations Coach Hamilton on a legendary career. It was an honor to cross paths and work with you at #TheU. All the best in retirement.

RIP Heinz Klutemeier. There was an era when he showed up on the sidelines, you knew it was a huge event. #SI #photog

The legendary @nypost.com.web.brid.gy sportswriter chronicles 50 years of Jets missteps as an eyewitness. Sometimes as a participant nypost.com/2024/12/19/s...
Woody Johnson’s Maddening dysfunction is latest in a Jets history filled with it
It has been a Maddening, Maddening, Maddening, Maddening World for the Jets ever since their lone Super Bowl.

I hope the #Mets re-sign #Alonso. But if the #Yankees sign him, we’ll need to come up with a clever name for the half inning when a pitcher strikes out the side by fanning Alonso-Judge-Stanton in succession. Because it will happen a lot. #500strikeouts

From @slmandel.bsky.social at @theathletic.bsky.social - “But the same exact rationale chairman Warde Manuel cited Tuesday for elevating 9-3 Alabama over another ACC team, 10-2 Miami, applies to Bama and SMU. The Tide have three Top 25 wins. The Mustangs have zero.”

we sure paramedics aren't attending to Gus Johnson right now?

Amazing read and unfortunately, completely on brand for this franchise. Top notch reporting by @diannarussini.bsky.social and @zackblatt.bsky.social about the final #darkdays for #joedouglas with the #Jets #NYJets
After losing to Denver, Woody Johnson suggested in a contentious meeting that they bench Rodgers because he felt the QB wasn’t playing well.
The coaches pushed back and asked each other if he was serious.

So here we go again. A new GM, a new head coach and I would imagine, a new QB on the horizon for 2025. #jets #NYJets #SOJ

Deja vu … sigh
Since acquiring Aaron Rodgers, the Jets have:

◽️ Gone 10-28
◽️ Fired HC Robert Saleh
◽️ Fired GM Joe Douglas

Owner Woody Johnson could be re-assuming his U.S. ambassador role, and Rodgers' future is uncertain.

All within a 20-month span.

Is #jakepaul coming out to an 80’s Phil Collins classic is some sort of unintentional comedy bit or a classic troll of #MikeTyson?
