Now let me start off by saying these are just stories coming out, I have no idea how fabricated (or maybe not at all) these stories are but if I were a Jets fan I would be finding a new team to root for. Reports have been coming out of Woody Johnson cursing out Mike White after a game in 2022 when they were eliminated from the playoffs that year saying something along the lines of "You should throw your helmet, you fucking suck." according to multiple Jets players in the locker room, and the sad part is White was in the shower and had broken ribs at the time and Woody Johnson didn't have the balls to say it to his face. He later apologized to the QB after and has declined to comment on that story (as reported by The Athletic).
Another story making the rounds is that he shot down a trade for Jerry Jeudy before the deadline this past year after seeing his Madden rating, now this may be a made up story.... BUT....... It is the Jets and Woody Johnson so I honestly wouldn't put it past him to actually do something like this.
Another story is how Woody's teenage sons have a lot more influence on the team than maybe they should, Former GM Joe Douglas has said to people close to him. And i can see this being Douglas being pissed about being fired a month ago, but other Jets Executives have kind of back it up a bit. This is from a SI piece just about an hour ago
When Johnson left for the U.K. in 2017, his sons, Brick and Jack, were 11 and 9, respectively. When he returned, they were teenagers. Last year, Johnson started including his sons in some meetings at the team facility. For some Jets employees, the sons’ increasing involvement clarified their father’s propensity for sharing posts from X and articles from various outlets, including a blog called “Jets X-Factor,” with the organization’s top decision-makers.
“When we’re discussing things, you’ll hear Woody cite something that Brick or Jack read online that’s being weighed equally against whatever opinion someone else in the department has,” said one Jets executive.
“I answer to a teenager,” [former general manager Joe] Douglas quipped to people close to him before the season in an acknowledgment of the perceived power dynamic.
Even the man Jerr Jeudy himself has gotten in on making fun of the Jets Owner and fans are beginning to finally come together and the "Sell the Team" mob will be showing up towardds the end of this season from what I'm seeing and reading. For Jets fans who are also Mets fans (there's alot) this has Wilpon's 2.0 written all over it!!!! Letting his kids make decisions from random podcasts and Madden ratings is like Fred Wilpon letting his bratty son try and run the team and look how that ended. I personally love that this is happening to the Jets since I hate them, but at some point i may start to feel bad for the fans beciuase I was in this position not too long ago as a fan rooting for a team with the dumbest fucking owners and being the joke around the league. But i'm still not there, so it'll be "The Goddamn Jets" for now.
