Jets Flight Connections 03-01-10

First of all, I just want to set the record straight that this BR article was not written by David Wyatt.  This is the source of all the rumors that the Jets are working a big trade with the Chargers.  I can't begin to describe how absolutely improbable and illogical this is.  I wasn't even sure that I wanted to acknowledge the existence of this, but I just wanted to set the record straight, as obviously, someone is trying to stir something up by posing as DW.

Here is the gist of it, so you won't ever have to go to Bleacher Bullsh*t Report ever again:

In an unexpected move the Jets have entered the talks for Antonio Cromartie and even more unexpectedly have offered Darrelle Revis.  On the Chargers end they'll be included a small army of players and the Jets might not be done including some value on their side as well.

As the trade stands now the Chargers would send Antonio Cromartie, Shawn Merriman, Vincent Jackson, their 1st and 3rd round picks in 2010 and their 1st and 2nd round picks in 2011.  The Jets would send Darrelle Revis, Vernon Gholston, Kerry Rhodes and their 3rd and 4th round pick in 2011.

This deal is expected to go down fairly soon so stay close to the most accurate source of sports information, the Bleacher Report.


Read that last sentence again.  Right.  There's a reason I haven't linked anything from that site in months.  I probably won't ever again.  And now on to the real news.

More connections after the jump.

Cheers for that David, got home to a ton of messages today asking about this, and didn’t know what anyone was talking about until John forwarded me the email. Everyone questioned it to begin with, but now we have really got the record straight and looking into the matter.

No problem, David. It must suck to have somebody pose as you, but it probably must suck more to have nothing better to do than make up a fake account and write that stuff.

and the home of the... JETS!!!

It was a bit of a nightmare at first, replying to people saying the same thing. Most people were already pretty sure it wasn’t me, just wanted me to confirm it 100%. Your right though, making an account to pose and post rubbish must mean your life is pretty damn pathetic.

Thats crazy. Kinda cool in a way though. Shows you’re pretty well respected if someone would to pose as you. This seems to be happening a lot these, especially with athletes and politicians and other public figures. Who knew that Dave Wyatt was big time?

Nice way of looking at it Crack, perhaps I should take it as a compliment. ;-)

I was actually about to make a post mocking the article until I noticed the name of the author.

This is why BR is considered such a joke. It goes beyond the impersonation. How is a bogus rumor like that allowed to be published?
