Beyond Kensil: More Questionable NFL - Jets Connections

JDSal45 · Jun 24, 2015

Another Goodell-Jets connection apparently is a guy named Neil Glat, who is the current President of the Jets. Worked under Goodell in the early 90s. Was rehired by Goodell to the NFL in the late 90s after law school. Was called Goodell's "Lieutenant" in this 2003 article:

http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2003/11/20031110/Forty-Under-40/Neil-Glat.aspx

Glat was hired from the NFL to be President of the Jets in 2012 by Woody Johnson.

So, the President of the Patriots chief rival was the right hand man of the guy screwing them for nearly a decade now?

And then there is this:

NFL in-house Attorney Todd David Gardi, who is the person who wrote the letter to Kraft shortly after the AFCCG claiming one ball was as low as 10.1 psi and all Colts balls were in compliance, is the son of the late Joe Gardi, defensive coordinator for the Jets and coach there from 1976-1985 and long time coach at Hofstra, where Todd David is also an alum of, presumably playing for his dad. Obviously the Hofstra program has had a long association with the Jets as well and the Jets training camp was and is there and has been for years.

I wonder what NFL team Todd David grew up a fan of?

This shyt keeps getting deeper as the days wear on. So glad we have people on our side that can do the same, and more often better, investigative work as the mainstream media can. Great search my friend.

Gardi is trying to revenge his father's loss to the Pats in the 1985 Wild Card Game in NJ. Poor little Todd went home crying to mommy and is scarred for life. Thats what happens when Joe Walton is your HC and Ken O'Brian is your QB. Morons.

I asked Andre Tippett about the hardest he ever hit someone.

His response was that he had knocked Ken O'Brien out of a game once. At the time he didn't know it but at the pro bowl a Teammate of O'Brien told Andre what went down that day. After the hit they were trying to figure out if O'Brien could get back in the game but when they asked him about the plays he was giving the wrong answers as it turned out he was reciting plays from his high school playbook. Tippett knocked him back to high school.

Please get discovery pleeeeeeeeeeeease get discovery. This could be one of the all time greatest conspiracies. Tables would be completely flipped on who is cheating. We'd be able to rattle the Jets fans' cage forever that they're cheaters.

I believe it.

I briefly met AT many years ago and a charity event dinner. You won't find a finer man and gentlemen.

It's a shame #56 isn't officially retired.

It is just sad that this schmuck's letter can flat out lie (10.1 for one Patriots ball and all the Colts balls being over 12.5) and we have written evidence of the lie. Silence. Then we have conjecture about what the Patriots did and all hell breaks loose.

Anything objective or pro-Patriots is examined to see if that source has any extra "motivation" behind their viewpoints. The Nobel prize winning physicist? The Kraft's made an investment in his company. The AEI guys? They're from Massachusetts.

You never hear about how many prominent figures in the NFL front office are either former Jets employees or grew up in the NY/ NJ area rooting for the local teams.

Something is up with that. One of the all-time great Patriots and Top 3 OLBs in NFL History and the only team he has played for still has his number in circulation....doesn't add up.

Retiring numbers in the NFL can become problematic because you actually need a lot of them. Some teams opt to just display the numbers of all-time greats instead. I can guarantee you that #12 will never be worn again though.

#2 in-house attorney at the NFL and VP Jay Bauman:

"Perhaps the only downside to his job is that it's unbecoming for Mr. Bauman to be seen supporting a particular team. That's a tough assignment, considering he grew up a Jets fan and his favorite player was wide receiver Wesley Walker. "Of course, now I root for them all," he says with a wink."

I realize they're located in Manhattan (where Peter King lives) but Jesus, don't most multi-billion dollar companies recruit nationally if not internationally?

@Clonamery - bad experience with Tippett?

I agree but I struggle in seeing Bruce Armstrong's # retired before ATs.

Not if you have an agenda and connections. There is probably a lot more to this story than we will ever know because no real journalist with the resources to do the job will even think about it. You don't go prodding around multi-billion dollar companies without a high probability of a)losing your job or b) losing your life.

I think #56 is unofficially retired though. Why not make it official?

No. They have everyone submit a blood test. If you don't have green sludge coursing though your veins, the symbol of "L" on your forehead and an IQ score of below 63 you are denied employment in the NFL Exec Offices

I'm racking my brain to think of who might have worn 56 after AT and I'm coming up empty.

Another attorney in the NFL in-house legal department Anastasia Danias:

"MC: Did you grow up watching football?

AD: I was the only girl in a family of many, many male cousins who lived, breathed, and died football, so I almost had no choice in the matter. I grew up in Queens, New York, rooting for the Jets"
