There's a big difference between some catcalls, and raping a series of drunk college girls. Today 09:09 PM
Not today there shouldn't, not after we were held so accountable for what happened back in '86. Beyond that, if Rog was honest, he'd put forth the same effort he did with Spygate that he should with this.
Give it time. It came out yesterday. And huge difference between how Woody is handling it and Victor Kiam.
Woody apologize immediately and promised to take action so his players would not treat reporters like this in the future. Kiam called Lisa a "classic *****."
Woody is doing the right thing to mimimize damage control and the need for harsh league action. Victor did everything he could to make the situation worse for the team and mandate harsh league action.

Re: OT: Jets to take "How Not to Be Dicks" seminar
Regardless if Woody recognized it first., We if, I remember correctly, were severely chastised by the league for our poor actions.
You are right in the fact that Woody is being more proactive than Vic was. My only problem is a simple curiosity.
Why were we media raped for Lisa, and Spygate, yet they can get away with this, and an infraction similar to Spygate? I guess I'm just a pissed of Pats fan, looking for justice from Hier Goodell.

The difference is that this reporter was un offended and thought nothing of the encounter, and I have also heard that unlike the Pats the Jets weren't waving at her with there wangers, just some hey hey baby kind of talk.
Not in the least a Spy Gate situation, time to get over Spy Gate.
Re: OT: Jets to take "How Not to Be Dicks" seminar
Envisioning Kris Jenkins in sensitivity training is funny. Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but I really doubt it'll take.
Seriously, though, this has an early lead for 'most ridiculous non-story of the year'. If a network hires someone based on finding the biggest ass they can, don't they forfeit the right to complain after the fact? Her entire job qualification was that she was attractive to the players, and in that regard she succeeded. Good for her. Shouldn't the AWSM spend more effort critiquing networks that objectify women by hiring based solely on physical attributes, and less effort critiquing football players for acting like football players?
It would be like hiring a male model, sending him into a bar on cougar night to 'interview' the patrons, then being shocked and appalled when he gets objectified. The only outrage is that anyone would claim to not have expected this outcome going in.

Sounds like a seminar and maybe a small fine if any, The Jets will laughingly put this behind them.
Wishing it was worse will not make it so. JMHO
Damn you hetero males!

This is known as "bad luck." RAH
"Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum called Joanne Gerstner, a board member of the AWSM, on Sunday to discuss the matter. The two organizations were working to schedule an educational and awareness session with the team, according to Jets spokesman Bruce Speight."
Oh how classic! The Jets and Rex are going to take a "how not to be dicks" seminar. LOL!!!!
LOL such a stupid story, I don't get women.....You want to be treated with respect and dignity but at the same time you want to dress like a whore???
No talent reported who is only a reporter cause she is good looking, has no business being in a men's locker room. She set herself up for it and I don't feel bad for her, just like I don't feel bad for women who dress like whores then get raped/assaulted and act like they had nothing to do with it.......
Grow up and act like a lady or stay the way you are and get what you get
Oh and the "I can dress anyway I want" crowed, you can dress anyway you want but be prepared to suffer the consequences for those actions and I don't feel bad for you.
Its like me going into the hood and waving around a handfull of money and not expecting to get robed.....Some common sense would be nice ladies.

Re: OT: Jets to take "How Not to Be Dicks" seminar
My point is this, if a team can get raked over the coals for an infraction such as Spygate, which was an admitted infraction by many SB winning coaches, why shouldn't this be looked at by Goodell? IF the league wanted to improve it's "female reporters" standing, they should have equal standing around the male players, correct? The issue here is that a COACH was involved, and word has it, Ryan was involved as well.
That's bad leadership, no matter how you slice it. Harassment is harassment, and it's cut and dry.
