[Tony Pauline] I can add this from the Albert Breer report- It’s been jokingly mentioned for several years in league circles that’s Woody’s son Brick Johnson is the de facto GM of the Jets, specifically when it comes to “Internet influences decision making,” which is exactly what took place

  2. but do you know why the non-football people have such influence? because the football people aren’t good at their jobs in the first place. It’s a hiring problem.

    There needs to be a football person in charge of the hiring. No search firms, no Peyton Manning phone calls, no Adam Gase recommendations. Since we can apparently influence this organization, I want that to be my next contribution. Go hire Pete Caroll as president of football operations and let him hire the GM and HC.

  5. I think we really have to be careful with somewhat reductionist thinking.

    Is Woody Johnson a bottom tier owner who meddles? Yes.

    Can we, using this logic, say every failing of Joe Douglas was Woodys fault.

    HELL no. We’ve all followed the team closely. Did you ever really think JD was getting interfered with? The only time this talk happened was when people questioned why Zach was the unquestioned backup in 2023. The conspiracy theory was “Woody is best buddies with the Jetblue CEO. Thos CEO is Zachs uncle”. Or, “Woody cheaper out”.

    And there’s some thought that Woody advocated for Rodgers. If so, are you gonna tell me JD was against it? Sorry, I doubt that. JD was saving his job, because they were rudderless at QB, and Carr (their alleged plan A) was not an answer to anything.

    Bottom line is, the biggest Woody intervention was firing Saleh. JD should’ve fired Saleh January of 2024. The season was doomed when that firing didn’t happen. If anything, Woody should’ve intervened *then*

  6. I’ve been condescending in responses to Woody deflectors, by asking “Woody’s kids” to get off their burner accounts and so on.

    The “he will never sell so don’t worry about it” crowd repeat a disingenuous echo.

    I said it from a place that Im describing as “condescending” because the last few seasons especially, it feels like a social media feed is the primary source of logic behind the scenes.

    The kids are always in the draft room. Popping up throughout the promo videos. When Woody had the headset on in the owners booth, you know Brick daddy was in the house.

    This is so unbelievable that I fear it’s absolutely true. The Johnson Corporation is terrifying.

    Edits; mobile.

  10. So the next owner of the NY Jets is named Brick Penis.

    Maybe it’s time to give up on this 🤡 show lmao.

  11. Oh so does he read this sub? If so they should both fuck off and sell the team to someone who is competent and cares

  12. You would think a guy named “Woody Johnson” would’ve avoided naming his kid any sort of synonym for an erection but here we are

  17. I’m really impressed that this young man passed what was likely a prolonged and tedious interview process to get to where he is in the industry. Good for you, Brick! Right up by your bootstraps!

  19. Yeah, for anyone hoping things will improve when Woody dies and hands the team off to his kids…that ain’t happening.

  20. Old joke:

    A little girl walks up to her father and asks “why is my name Robin?” And the father says “while your mom was pregnant with you a robin landed on her tummy, so we named you after her.

    The daughter asks “daddy, why is my sister named Rose?” And the father says “because while she was pregnant, a rose petal flew onto her tummy”

    Suddenly a screeching moan is heard through the crack in the basement door, and the father bellows “Quiet down, Brick!”
