So then who leaked this? Unless Pettine threw himself under the bus by giving this information to Francessa, it seems the whole organization is a sieve.

Screw Pettine his leaks have caused untold damage this year and to think most ( at least I) figured the leak to be a player.

Pettine should be fired today... Mehta should never be allowed near the team again he has been a *****like ****stirrer since his first day with the Jets.

EFF anyone that is not loyal to this gotdamned team that takes up too much of my life.

I feel bad for Rex that his good friend sold out the team like he did but, Rex does have to take responsibility for creating an open atmosphere around the team. The coaches and players took their lead from Rex in regards to talking to the media and saying whats on their mind. Now it comes back to bite him in a big way.

If true he should have been fired by now


my only caviat is that

its Fatcessa that is braying about this without even a direct confirmation from FAN lackey Schwartz

If EVERYBODY knows this (as Fatty claims) there should be at least some independent corroboration

I can't imagine Francesca making something like this up no matter how much I think he dislikes Rex.

you're probably right JW

but it is fatboy and he is saying "EVERYBODY" knows it so I think we need to at least wait for one of EVERYBODY to come forward and say so when even the FAN beat lackey won't come out and say it's true

If this is true, it's all on Pettine. Nobody (in this case, Rex) can tell when a supposed friend (Pettine) is going to sell you out. it doesn't matter if you are the best judge of character the world has ever seen, somebody you trust will get you at some point.

that being said, this Manish guy lost his journalistic integrity a long time ago. but he knows how to get people talking about him and his beat. congratulations for being the type of "reporter" that helped kill newspapers.

When Fatty says "everybody" he means the people covering the team. And those people are not going to step on one another's toes. The beat writers find out a lot of stuff that they don't report. Mehta is fast and loose.

I think Fatty's source is Kim Jones.

as I stated


I don't disagree with him being fired if this is true (although apparently refusing an extension makes him fired already "de facto".

I just think that so far the only one of EVERYBODY is fatboy and for me that isn't enough for me

Im glad all of this is coming out. Hopefully, it makes Woody realize what a disaster these last 2 years have been and that Rex is not qualified to be a HC.

Thanks Mike Pettine.

In situations like this, the simplest explanation is usually the right one.

It is certainly possible that a disgruntled Pettine has been leaking crap to Mehta for quite some time, but it doesn't really add up.

More likely rumors that have followed Mehta around for quite some time are true--and he's a sensationalist who attributes out of context quotes to anonymous sources for his own personal gain.

You don't think Pettine's disloyalty had anything to do with the Jets and Rex's lack of success? Funny how some can justify their wants.

Pettine is Rex's right hand man. He is the guy that Rex hand picked and gushed about him when he brought him on board. His best friend in the building has sold him out and we're STILL gonna keep Rex around?!?!

You don't fire a coach because of a rumor that an assistant snitched on him to the media. The Rex hate is making you people stupid
