Bob Raissman: Robert Saleh goes off the runway with his ‘receipts’ ravings

Unless he is intent on remaining a collaborator in his personal coaching demise, there was no rationale for Robert Saleh to drop his “receipts” bomb on the media, and for good disgruntled Jets enthusiasts, during a Monday Zoom connect with with manager scribes.

A pair of times later on, the fake-beleaguered mentor tried out outlining why he went down a lifeless-conclusion street, expressing it was a way of defending his gamers. The issue was there was absolutely nothing to defend them against. Salah was tilting at windmills.

The media masking the Jets, which include Valley of the Silly Gasbags, has been patient (aka fingers-off treatment method) with the mentor right after his to start with period. If anything, his information of hope experienced been embraced. Saleh need to be known as Child Charmin. If something, the media concentrate has been on the unavoidable return of quarterback Zach Wilson.

However, Saleh turned the second popular Jets personnel to see ghosts when he said: “I’m getting receipts [on Jets critics], and I’m going to be much more than joyful to share them with all of you when it’s all mentioned and carried out.” His comments built us ponder if anyone had serenaded Saleh with aged Jets rants voiced by the poster boy for Jets distress, and previous WFAN yakker, Joe Benigno. Saleh’s alleged disappointment boiled more than during his paid section on ESPN-98.7′s “The Michael Kay Clearly show.” Saleh claimed he could not wait “until it will come about and we shove it down everybody’s throat.”

Saleh has put himself in a box with the media. His “receipts” declaration would make Sunday’s activity versus Cleveland even larger than it really should be. Unless the Jets media goes gentle, each individual investigation of a decline should really incorporate a reminder about obtaining to wait around nevertheless one more working day to ”shove it down everybody’s throat.” All over here, when a mentor points fingers at (in this situation Saleh threatened) the media, and is not profitable on the industry, buffoon position can be “achieved” swiftly.

So, it is really worth asking yourself how Saleh concluded it was a good concept to pop off. It does not seem like some thing an skilled Jets PR personnel would endorse. Does Saleh have a smaller circle of advisers (none who work for the Jets) who recommended he go on the offensive? Or did he get there at the selection as a result of some solo soul seeking?

Get it? Saleh also leaves the door open to problem his selection-generating system. If it can be questioned in the “receipts” case, a communications make a difference, how quickly will his on-subject coaching selections arrive beneath extreme scrutiny? As a result of one period, and just one video game, Saleh has not precisely been put beneath a microscope.

And it’s not like all Gasbags lined up against Saleh. Some (together with 98.7′s Kay and Peter Rosenberg and ESPN/SNY’s Bart Scott) reported he had each and every suitable — and was righteous — to hearth off verbal missiles at enthusiasts and media. Even now does an corporation, hunting to escape from the woods of dysfunction into the open areas of balance really need to have a mentor dishing irrational ravings?

Or should really Woody Johnson & Co. seem ahead to caricatures of Saleh, and a flood of receipts, gushing out of the Jets Clown Automobile.

CBS Shows RESTRAINT

The NFL’s Tv associates rarely have problems replaying vicious hits or grotesque times throughout sport protection.

That’s why it was abnormal to see CBS Sports’ crew display restraint through the final two minutes of the Ravens’ 24-9 acquire about the Jets. As he was masking Jets wideout Elijah Moore, Baltimore cornerback Kyle Fuller went down. Viewers could see a distant digicam shot of Fuller holding his knee even though his worried teammates moved in for a nearer glimpse.

Following a quick pause, enjoy-by-participate in voice Andrew Catalon, doing work with James Lofton, explained: “We’ve been advised we should not demonstrate a replay of this…” Catalon did not have to go into it additional. CBS’ crew produced the suitable connect with. The sight of Fuller, who endured a torn ACL and is out for the season, likely down was much too grotesque. Even on an NFL Sunday.

Industrial Break

While citizens of the Mets and Yankees Tv set booths, and other Seamheads, were analyzing MLB’s guidelines alterations, which includes no matter if the pitch clock will velocity up the game, they did not go deep on if professional time between innings must be lessened.

If the quantity of places have been restricted to beneath two minutes (the latest crack involving innings) the speed of the activity would be accelerated. Not long ago, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor puzzled if the Tv fits, and baseball entrepreneurs, would sacrifice and take a industrial cut to pace up the sport.

”So, we’ll see how the number of commercials transform over here [on Major League telecasts],” Lindor reported. “We make the adjustment, let us see now with the Tv stations and the entrepreneurs how they are likely to make the adjustment.”

Sounds like a problem, proper?

Why are the entrepreneurs integrated in this equation? If Of course or SNY’s ability to sell among innings commercials was reduce to 1 moment, the worth of the Television rights to their video games would reduce in price.

BENIGNO BLITZ

It was a takeover, alright — far more hostile than docile.

Joe Benigno stormed onto the Monday edition of WFAN’s “Tiki and Tierney” application and stole the demonstrate. Benigno was burning Jets gasoline. His mouth was all fuel, no break.

Tiki Barber and Brandon Tierney, two mouths who adore the audio of their own voices, could hardly get a word in. At just one point, Barber attempted interrupting Benigno but was stuffed at the line of scrimmage. Benigno even came armed with one particular of his Jets conspiracy theories, suggesting the Jets won’t engage in Mike White at quarterback since they ”fear” he’s much better than Zach Wilson. Of study course, Benigno seriously believes this.

In any case, whoever booked Benigno for Monday early morning appearances throughout football year deserves kudos. Mr. Misery is also undertaking a Saturday exhibit with Evan Roberts.

Two times, in NBC’s NFL Sunday Evening Football studio, Tony Dungy described how amazed he was by the league’s new coaches, specifying all by name except the Giants’ Brian Daboll.

During their modern a single-on-a single, Phillips reported Mets operator Steve Cohen’s days of participating in by the owner’s unwritten procedures are coming to an conclude. “At some level, Steve Cohen is not going to participate in the ‘hands-off’ recreation, the previous Mets GM said. Phillips stated this could lead Cohen to make a really serious run at Aaron Choose if he hits the no cost agent market place. … Let’s hope that all mouths so eager to phone Judge’s historic dingers that tie then break Roger Maris’ AL HR file don’t blow the phone calls. Tons of pressure involved in people times. A miscue could stain a job. Any individual anxious nonetheless? … The technological facet has to tighten up far too. On Tuesday (Yankees-Crimson Sox), TBS experienced a shut connect with. The network returned from the commercial break about 3 seconds in advance of Judge hit the 1st pitch of the sixth inning for a household operate. … We know it’s far too late for the Foxies to offer Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt any suggestions, but if they could they should’ve instructed them to pull-again down the extend of the Alabama-Texas thriller. The two mouths would not shut up. … It is early, but anybody else hoping Sean Payton, now doing the job in Fox’s NFL studio, will get again into coaching — like tomorrow? … NBC Sports’ Fantasy Football Pregame with Matthew Berry will make its WNBC-Television set Ch. 4 debut Sunday at midday.
