    What I don't understand is, Bob is a Jets fan. Which means he puts in specific work on reporting Jets news. He was the first person who said the Jets had Zero interest in bringing back Revis, it was correct. He said the Jets moved on from DRC after offering him the first contract,he was correct. Now he's saying Chris Johnson doesn't have the Jets as a destination of his choice. Will he be correct? Probably.

    If that's ban worthy then please, remove me.

    OH REALLY??? What was she right about? Tell me. She tweeted that CJ was going to be visiting the Jets first and then the Giants. So far, Johnson has neither visited nor announced plans to visit any team, and John Idzik is on scouting trip. Please explain to me how she was right about anything yet?

    .@thejsCO I think to a certain extent. I only reported that he was visiting NY. Which is turning out to be true.

    I just looked up Daniel Freer who was "confirming her report", because I had no idea who the hell he was, and it turns out that they are college buddies. And I still don't know who the hell he is. That's not confirmation that she's right. When he announces he's visiting the Jets, or the Jets announce he is visiting them, and then if he leaves and visits the Giants, then she is right. Not because some college hanger-on who wants to munch her mound makes her happy on Twitter.

    Plus, if she is right, then iBob is completely wrong. Dude, it is way too early in the day to be drunk.

    I only said that post was credible because he was/or is in NY. I don't follow her nor do I care about her.
    I do trust Bob's word to a certain extent. If CJ signs, then great, im wrong and so is Bob. But I highly doubt that.

    NONE of these "reporters" know shit. Seriously, they "break" news when it happens. When someone *signs*, they usually catch wind (By "they", that typically means Schefter). The rest of this insider knowledge is just a roll of the die. Was Erika offering ZJs for information at the airport?

    Again, Twitter is the biggest debauchery that ever happened to free agency.

    ICB is wrong much more often than he is right but because he throws so much shit out there some that don't really pay attention may be fooled into believing that ICB has some actual source rather than just a sports fan taking guesses.
    Some who have much more time on their hands than I do have proven he is no better than the average fan at guessing what is going to happen.

    Tough to say. There has always been bullshit in news. That said, the bullshit now travels from 0-60 in .2 seconds, and it makes people believe more BS. Eventually, no one is going to believe anything.

    Rule of thumb regarding NFL news on twitter.......don't believe anything until Schefter reports it. That dude is always spot on.

    People love to bring up the Nnamdi tweet, Bob always acknowledges that he was wrong. I know he was wrong, I got over it. Even Schefter and RapSheet are wrong sometimes.

    The rest of these tweets he was not wrong about, none of those tweets said the Jets were definitely getting anyone.

    The Rex tweet is completely fair, do you really think if Rex didn't win those last 2 games that he'd still be head coach?

    Im not gonna have this argument, I truly don't give a fuck. However im just posting news such as people post Manish. Like I said, take it or leave it, you could have just left it.

    Please stop posting tweets from every nitwit prognosticator. You're feeding the trolls.

    You are the reason we can't have nice things.

    I posted earlier today that the Jets would marginally improve with a Johnson signing, but I wanted to add here I still don't see Johnson wanting to come to the Jets. Unless no one else is interested in him, he will want to go somewhere where he can be the featured back, and not have to share the limelight with someone who imo is above average like Ivory.
