Semantics. So he didn't utter the word "guarantee," but he DID say, "This is going to be another win for us" and “We’re going to be up in the division." Those are declaratory statements referencing the game's outcome. A guarantee is a declaratory statement. He made a guarantee. He is a loudmouth Jet who can't stay away from trouble. You are a Jets fan who can't accept reality. SOJ.Sheldon Richardson annoyed with media over alleged “guarantee”
Sheldon Richardson annoyed with media over alleged “guarantee”

Sheldon Richardson did not join Joe Namath as a Jet guaranteeing a victory this week, and he’s upset that his words were interpreted that way.
As PFT noted yesterday, Richardson said the Jets are going into Sunday’s game with the expectation that they’ll beat the Patriots “if we go out there and execute and do what we’re supposed to do.”
That’s a pretty big “if” — after all, the Patriots have a knack for preventing the other team from doing what it’s supposed to do. But Richardson was saying that if the Jets play the way they need to play, they’ll win. That’s how most players think heading into most games.
Richardson’s words were originally reported in Metro New York under the headline, “Sheldon Richardson Guarantees a Jets Win at Patriots.” That led Richardson to complain on Twitter that he doesn’t like giving interviews at all because his words get twisted — with an apparent shot at Commissioner Roger Goodell over the NFL’s rules requiring every player to talk to the media.
The headline has since been changed online to “Sheldon Richardson Confident in a Jets Win at Patriots,” but by the time it was changed, Richardson’s alleged “guarantee” had made its way around the Internet and talk radio. Richardson has every right to be upset that a media outlet decided to get clicks by attaching his name to the word “guarantee,” a word he didn’t use.
Yeah, "selective quotes" can be problematic when spoken by an idiot who should've kept his trap shut.
You see, that's the difference I'm talking about. It's not about "belief," it's a matter of acknowledging reality.
Your faux magnanimous ******** fools no one here.
That's just a bizarre idea.
"Many," "many." There you go again. Exactly how many? Did you conduct a survey? Take a poll? Or once again conjure up something you want to "believe"?
Well, you're the one perpetuating the nonsense by parsing words around your boy's guarantee, blaming reporters, etc., etc. I'm just holding you to your deluded conjectures.
Yes! WHY are you a Jets fan? Forgive me, but I have a morbid fascination with the masochistic mindset.
Why do you assume I'm not "chill"? I'm fine. I know this isn't Super Bowl Sunday ... do you?
I'll be at the game, the bird is watching on TV.
He was quoted directly. What he said was the same as a guarantee, he just didn't use the words "I guarantee."
Or maybe.. Pats Fans will discuss whateverTF they want on PatsFans.com.
