Dysfunctional groups certainly do dysfunctional issues.
The newest proof of dysfunction throughout the New York Jets comes from TheAthletic.com. Among numerous juicy nuggets contained within the #longread is a declare that proprietor Woody Johnson nixed a commerce with the Broncos for receiver Jerry Jeudy as a result of Johnson believed Jeudy’s Madden ranking was too low.
Per the report, that wasn’t the one time Johnson cited Madden scores in reference to soccer selections. Johnson reportedly pushed again on signing guard John Simpson as a result of his “consciousness” ranking on Madden was too low. (Maybe even decrease than Woody’s.)
The Madden issue apparently comes from Woody’s teenage sons, Brick and Jack.
“When we’re discussing issues, you’ll hear Woody cite one thing that Brick or Jack learn on-line that’s being weighed equally towards no matter opinion another person within the division has,” an unnamed Jets government informed TheAthletic.com.
The Jets truly offered an announcement to TheAthletic.com acknowledging the involvement of the kids, and defending it.
“It is used as a reference level; it isn’t determinative,” a Jets spokesperson stated concerning Brick and Jack’s enter. “It’s actually unhappy that an grownup would use a deceptive anecdote about youngsters to make their father look unhealthy. It’s ridiculous, fairly truthfully, the concept that this was used to affect the opinion of skilled executives. . . . [The sons] haven’t any roles within the group. It’s utterly ridiculous to recommend that any exterior data is meant to switch the opinions of [Woody Johnson’s] workers.”
They might need no official function, however let’s face it. They finally will. And one among them seemingly will inherit the crew, until Woody sells it.
And even when there’s no official function for now, Brick was handing out a sport ball after a uncommon victory.
“It was essentially the most awkward, cringe-worthy, brutal expertise,” an unnamed participant informed TheAthletic.com.
It feels just like the Jets underneath Woody Johnson are consistently prompting that response.
