N.Y. Jets: Year End Godspell

R.I.P.

GANG GASE ERA

b. January 11, 2019

d. January 3, 2021

When all is said and done, it will be almost two years to the day that the Jets made the ill-fated mistake of hiring Adam Gase.  Right or wrong, that was the general consensus unless you're Christopher Johnson, that is.

Today, WFAN's Craig Carton reported that Adam Gase will be fired after this Sunday's game against the Patriots.  The greater local New York media is yet to confirm this.  But we all know it's most likely true.  

How can it not..?

WORST HEAD COACHES

1. Rich Kotite; 4-28 (.125) 1-15 record in 1996.
2. Lou Holtz; 3-10 (.230) quit in 1976 after 13 games.
3. Adam Gase; 9-22 (.290) one game left versus Patriots.

After Sunday's game, if either of the Brothers Johnson is directly involved in hiring the next head coach, then we know we're dealing with the same old Jets.  But if Joe Douglas is given complete autonomy, and we never hear from the Johnsons, then maybe they're finally headed in a new and a better direction. 

BKN Cyclones ~ Sandy Bobble-head Night; NYPD Appreciation

From the desk of:  THE SURF AVENUE SLUGGERS



BROOKLYN CYCLONES:  The Coney Island Nine dropped below the .500 mark tonight with a loss to the Auburn Doubledays.

The Cyclones are in the middle of a rough stretch as they have now dropped eight of their last eleven games.  Auburn jumped out to an early first inning lead and never looked back.  They only managed four hits for the game.  A couple of errors and some bad base running by the Cyclones made their night look worse.  And getting hit by four pitches made this game hurt.  The final score was 9-3 in favor of Auburn.

The gang from SNY and WFAN were in Coney Island tonight to call the Brooklyn Cyclones game against the Auburn Doubledays.  It was NYPD Appreciation Night and the home crowd was treated to a Sandy the Seagull Bobble-head adorned in full NYPD uniform.

Tom Seaver This Morning on 660WFAN

Tom Seaver was a guest this morning on Boomer and Carton's show; 660AM WFAN.

I only care to highlight his comments regarding 1977, M. Donald Grant and The Trade.

Carton asked how long it took him (Seaver) to emotionally get over the trade?  Seaver responded by saying it took no longer than getting on the plain and leaving.  Tom Seaver said he just did not like the people he was working for and it just wasn't a good situation for him (it's safe to say he was talking about M. Donald Grant although Mr. Seaver never mentioned anyone by name). 

He didn't care at all in a vindictive sense about who the Mets received in return, responding to another question asked by Carton.

Tom said he never had a feeling he had something special going when he pitched his no-hitter for the REDS.  Mr. Seaver insisted winning the game was more important to him than the no-hitter. 

When pressed by Carton to pick from a list offered of which achievement he's most fond of; no-hitter; World Series; Cy Young; ~ Tom Seaver chose to answer by saying he is most proud of the length of his career.  The fact he lasted and pitched for 20 years is what makes him most satisfied.

That's a paraphrased summary from a portion of the Boomer and Carton Show featuring a Tom Seaver interview.
