hmm,
i agree with your take on TDA. A lot of external things in the media may have contributed to that. W/o rehashing it all, i think the Rangers should have handled it better.
OBJ? Fans though he was a dope for losing to a kickers net. The real issue came with that boat trip. He and the receivers were no shows for the playoff game the following week. Once Gettleman resigned OBJ, he went on ESPN with somebody going by the name Lil Wayne to ridicule Eli. Gettleman then screwed up the cap by trading OBJ.
As far as Taylor, those were different times and even then the guy was suspended. The 80’s had a lot of issues with teams and snowstorms including the 86 Mets and yes, a future legend who joined the Rangers from the Oilers.
Your comments about some posters. Funny stuff lol, very funny.
I don't think any singular thing was that egregious (maybe the boat trip). The issue with OBJ was that it was a pattern of stupidity and not a singular mistake. He bought the hype on himself. I'm a Jet fan, but if OBJ was making himself a spectacle and a constant distraction then I'd have dealt him too. Of course, the problem was with Gettleman extending him first.
