Colon gave the answer to the "division". Guys mostly hung out with players that played the same position. Now that everybody has played together for a year they are now acclimated with each other. There was no specific player or coach that caused the divide. But of course the media will spin it that way in order to get a story.
Look - I think our media sucks as much as the next guy, and I really can't stand Fart Hubbach but I really don't see how this is the fault of the media.
Complaints about the media are tedious. They make their mistakes, and no doubt from time to time try and make stories when there really are not any of substance. But it's not like it's all some huge conspiracy, and in any event the media is a way we learn about what is going on. They have value.
You're absolutely right. The players give them juicy quotes way too often, it's like they don't know how the media operates. And no, I don't think it's RRs fault, just because there's no muzzle doesn't mean you have to say stupid shit like this.
During the HOF game, Al Michaels was talking about how Doug Marrone was starting his coaching tree already after Pettine went to Cleveland this year. As if Marrone had anything to do with Pettine's ability to coach.
Pettine was the cause of issues when he was here ,thats a fact.But he was in the cold boring town of Buffalo last year
Because a non story that should be treated as a footnote will be made to be a much bigger deal than it really is. I've seen this happen way too often.
Colon is at fault here for mentioning even a shred of team weakness to the fagsharks the Jets beat media. I'm sure he was trying to accentuate how much tighter this team is than last season, but he apparently doesn't know enough to realize our beat bitches will exploit any and every negative angle for website hits. Funny that Barf Hubbitch described Brick as "testily" responding to his stupid question, because Brick was likely annoyed that one of his own linemen teammates admitted a past weakness to these unintelligent jellyfish that hold microphones in his face after every game and practice.
It's funny seeing Brick mentioned as an elder statesman and getting testy. It seems like just yesterday he was literally running away from the media as a rookie.
Good to see Rex is learning more about how to handle his players it shows his growth as a head coach. Also, have you guys noticed last game vs the Colts that the team seemed more upbeat and positive? Even when the 3rd stringers were doing well you saw Geno and Vick raising their arms all into the game. All the players in general were rooting for each other. I don't think we had that type of energy last year.
I completely disagree. This was news and aside from an attention grabbing headline it was reported appropriately IMO. if you want to be mad point the finger at colon.
If he said that the locker room was divided and hinted at certain players no longer on the team that's one thing. He freaking gave us a reason why the locker room was divided. Guys sticking with guys that played the same position, simply because they didn't know each other like that. That makes this a non story. But just like the Milliner best CB story they completely put shit out there without context.
I don't understand why him giving details of why the locker room was divided makes it any less of a story. This was new information that no one had previously heard. Colon gave the info to a reporter and he reported it. Nothing was taken out of context or misrepresented.
Please be sure to alert all media outlets they shouldn't be reporting stories unless they have important details open to interpretation. Your stance on this is silly. If Geno Smith throws 7 TD's in the first quarter tomorrow it shouldn't be reported since that would be a fact not open to interpretation. Non story.
Now you're throwing out strawman arguments to prove a point. In the beginning I said this should be nothing more than a footnote. They put up "COLON SAID LOCKER ROOM WAS DIVIDED LAST YEAR!!!! I never said to not report it. They could use better ways to phrase it but that wouldn't get the desired clicks they are looking for. If Colon was vague and gave no other details besides the locker room was divided. The media can spin it however they want and joe public can interpret it how they want. He gave details why the locker rom was divided.
When you call something a "non story" and put down the media for reporting it that indicates to me that you believe the story shouldn't have been written and there was no news in it. You seem to have taken issue with the story being reported. I'm not sure how else to interpret your responses. Basically, what's your point?
