Forget it. I'm equally as pissed off.

Your post got me to re-evaluate my thresher concept. Thinking that if Cohen is named GM, I might be better served strapping on a bunch of C-4 and jumping into the spinning drum of a cement mixer.

I understand what you're saying, and I agree with the sentiment.

But it appears as though the team is going to hire the guy who was sitting down the hall from Tannenbaum.

Not exactly leaving no stone unturned, are they?

I'm not asking for a hot name -- I just want someone who wasn't part of the mess here.

I think Cohen is the polar opposite of Tanny and has a decent track record in personnel (personally, I believe Ari Nissim -- Tanny's real right-hand man -- needs to go as well). With that being said, I think the Jets need "a new set of eyes" in the organization. This is going to be a pretty tough task for a newbie, though.

I completely agree that they need a "new set of eyes" and that's exactly what I want.

Cohen does not meet that requirement.

C-4 is one of the most stable explosives and does would not go off when pounded against the sides.

You would be alive but injured and still posting on JI in the Cohen era.

Thank you for the elucidation, GG. And for destroying my attempt at a humerous visual.

hahaha I jumped in so late and figured someone already gave him sh!t.

The thread should probably be titled "Jets Hire Jets" since Cohen will get the job.

Its unfortunate that people feel the need to do that.But i must confess,after three weeks here,im feeling the need to do the same.All of the insulting, second guessing, reporting phony rumours as fact,and everybody posting that they knew the Jets would screw it up.Example,this morning, Cohen the new GM, no he;s not,we don't have one yet.Lets wait till we do,before the insulting, and doom and gloom scenerios
