Run for his money? Do you know how long Woody has been fuging over the Jets? So bad that Belichick peaced out before he even started coaching. If anything its the other way around lol, Tepper playing catch up. 

Slow down nobody is saying Woody Johnson isn't one of the worst owners in the NFL.

But Tepper has arguably been one of if not the most impulsive and easily duped owners in a fairly short amount of time. He's seemingly finally starting to take the hint and chill maybe but make no mistake he's already been right there with Woody and it's taken him 24 years to be this bad. Worst win % in all of professional sports within 6 years of ownership for Tepper? That's quite the feat.

All of this sounds too colossally stupid to be true.

...but being constantly reminded how stupid people can be, yeah, I could see it.

Could you imagine being in that meeting? Johnson steps in and with a straight face says he's nixing the trade because of  Madden rating. You chuckle because it's obviously a joke and while not overly clever you're pretty impressed with the sincerity of the delivery. Uncomfortable silence envelopes the room as everyone slowly realizes it's not a joke. This motherfuger is actually serious. 

If I'm the GM im simply saying, "Listen, if you're seriously going to come in here and veto a trade because of an arbitrary video game rating, just go ahead and fire me now because this is straight out of The Onion."

The poorly managed teams are so bad this year that I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't come up at offseason meetings. 

It hurts everybody's bottom line for the bottom of the league to be this terrible. 

Mike Silver (wrote this article) has some really interesting stories from those meetings. I heard him speak on PMT once.

He must be a Huddler

Say what you want about Tepper but at least he seems willing to try and learn from his past mistakes versus Woody Johnson who's been this way the entire time he's own the Jets.

Holy crap. What a read...

I try to tell people Tepper isn't the worst owner. Bottom 5, yes. 

But not the worst.

Probably like:

 

5-The McCaskeys

4-David Tepper

3-Jimmy Haslam

2-Woody Johnson

1-Mark Davis

Honestly madden ratings are probably more reliable than the S2

[Jay Roosevelt]

Yeah, that stuff is worse than Tepper. Somehow.
