Sometimes man you just go to weird dots that don't connect.

I don't think that Jets fans would welcome him ...... he said that he would rather have Robert Irsay running the show than Chris Ballard ...... when they hear about that, they would send him packing with their collective foot so far up his ass that they would have to perform surgery to get it out.

Actually, the last time that the Jets made it to the Super Bowl was 1968 (the 1968 season.)

Richard Nixon had just been elected as the President of the country, Denny McLain won 31 games for the Detroit Tigers, and the Beatles had just released an awesome double album which became known as ""The White Album" ...... that great band has since parted ways.

Ha, hell no. To me, this is why CF's is the place to be, open, hard ass, no frills fucking conversation. This is the way fans should be allowed to go at it vs so many of the other places that are so sanitized it's ludicrous.

He won't leave. Raging, narcissistic psychopaths who spend a good portion of their lives showing everybody how insane they are never voluntarily leave a platform ...... so you can rest easy, and know that his inane, nonsensical outbursts will keep showing up here.

On November 3, 1965, at 4:13 PM, ChoppedWood mailed a letter to Carroll Rosenbloom demanding the team play a damn running back at QB. This was a letter from a psychopath with an insane demand. However, the team then faked injuries to both Johnny U and Gary Cuozzo so that the man that wrote love letters to Chopped's mother asking her if she would sell him Chopped Wood because he knew he was a football savant, Tom Matte, could play for the team in the final 3 games of the season beating the Packers in the playoffs. It is a remarkable moment in NFL history.

On the same day, November 3, 2025, exactly 60 years later, Emmett Johnson, of the Arizona Wildcats scored a 3 yard rushing touchdown. 10 people in Tucson drank beers together that afternoon.

My opinion on the decision to keep both

Much like I have said that, while i really like Riley. He is not ready to be the starter He may be some day, but not yet, especially if DJ is on the team.

I don't think CIG was prepared either. She is not her Dad and I am guessing she does not have the connections that Jim had, not the knowledge he has gained through all his years in the business.

She took over the team in June ish. So up until now she has been in her present role for about 7 months. And she was dealing with the passing of her father, his estate etc. Don't care if your a billionaire or living paycheck to paycheck That is a lot

She has had to concentrate her attention to this season. I promise none of us could have taken on that responsibility and still been able to work on a list of possible replacements for either CB or SS.

She saw the quick start and saw that this is a team that can win now and is not far off from serious contention. So her attention stayed with continuing on the early success the team had.

She was all in on the Sauce trade, Which made sense. To me anyway, because this was the Jim chips all in season. Still had a chance to make the playoffs. Brought in Rivers Hoping he could get us there. AR was down, and they just hadn't seen enough in the kid to put it all on him. AND he was injured as well. That is a lot of adversity. They took a shot and had a chance to win against the Seahawks and Jax Both went to the last minute.

Injuries killed this team this yr. Injuries are not an excuse but they are a reason (not sure where I read that but it makes sense)

Could she have fired everyone? Sure, should've she? No IMO But what if because she didn't have a plan she made a huge mistake? Fire them and she can't find good replacements. No 1st rd picks for 2 years. Who wants that? A rookie GM and a Rookie HC most likely

Like Riley. She wasn't ready for all this on her plate, all at once.

She could have went by the way of her Grandpa Bob, or Chopped or Dickitch (all the same to me). And fired off of impulse without a plan. But she's smarter than that.

I'm OK to give her a mulligan this yr. She will have much more time to establish her rolodex and be prepared next year if needed.

No matter what I am supporting her and the Colts.

Well fuck me, a rational thought out answer that has swayed how I think. At least about this decision, I still think Ballard should go but appreciate that she may not have been in the best place to make this happen right now. Excellent post, wish I had thought of it
