No idea. I assume this dialogue is taking place via either private mail courier or facsimile machine.

Or witchcraft.

You've got some nerve, posting a definition written by the unwashed masses of the internet.

Have the good people of the BBWAA taught you nothing?

What gives you the balls to have the world's most insanely inflated currency, Norway?

Serious journalists?
You're grown men (with a couple women thrown in) writing (or at bare minimum having once written and now voting) about other grown men being paid millions of dollars to play a kids game. You aren't any better than the idiots who breathlessly report on Hollywood starlets' love-lives and drug…

And mail or fax only? Really?

Well, carrier pigeons just get a whole bunch of shit everywhere. I'm pretty sure the process has enough, as is.

Couldn't possibly be Sooner fans as Oklahoma was neither a state nor a part of the original Confederacy.

Concur. I experienced the same in college and a black hefty bag hides a world of sins.

1) I don't think he's as good a coach as you do. But your mental gymnastics supporting Ryan and your claims of his abilities are Olympic in nature. The results are in his record, and it's not great.
2) I said Sanchez was presumptive starter because he was getting the preseason reps with the first team. 99 times out of…

2011- locker room implosion. That tells me the head coach isn't managing and dealing with personnel and personality issues. Players always say they run the locker room, but the head coach has to figure out a way to deal with it when it goes bad. My completely uniformed opinion is that Ryan is more concerned with being…

It might, if the Jets, were...you know...successful. Or showing progress.

But they haven't been. At all. Since 2010. How long does sentiment keep you around in the face of minimal returns on investment?

I'm assuming the Jets (like all sports franchises) exist to win more games than they lose. Maybe that's not a good…

This isn't Pop Warner. This is professional football. They don't count moral victories.
Any calm appraisal shows Ryan's football teams have been mediocre at best the past three seasons.

No.

You?

No, actually I wouldn't. The Browns gave Chud one season, whereas Ryan has been with the Jets for five, and while he is 41-38 overall (excluding playoffs), he is 22-26 over the last three.
By any stretch, he hasn't been good of late.

Now there's no guarantee Sanchez's shoulder doesn't turn in to Swiss Cheese during the regular season, but starting him at the end of a meaningless pre-season game has to be one of his dumber decisions.
He might not have much to work with because he doesn't know how to manage what he has.

Sanchez had some play-off wins, once upon a time.

And if you aren't willing to say they aren't getting worse under Ryan, the last three years indicate they aren't getting any better.

According to this analysis:
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/r…

the Jets have the 7th youngest roster in the league, which when compared to the rest of their conference (Bills- 3, Dolphins 9, Patriots-11) doesn't exactly give them a pass. And the league overall, according the link, is generally pretty young.

The pure joy on display at going 8-8 for the second time in three years (book-ending a 6-10 season) and the coach not being fired because of it tells you all you need to know about the New York Jets.

I know. Thank God they don't have separate living facilities, dining halls, gyms, tutors...

it would really interfere with their relationships with other students and faculty.

It's interesting that there is no questioning that pitchers only have to pitch. No one judges NL pitchers on their batting average, RBI, hits, HR, etc. Because of the DH, the point is moot for the AL's pitchers.

But if you can hit, well then by God, you'd better play the field, too.

He was a great hitter. Better than…

So most of the time, they're doing everyone a favor?
