On the point of sports bringing people together, it is a great point between countries. I spent my career traveling with an international company and could not believe how much togetherness it created when we teamed with teammates in other countries on business opportunities. Breaking bread and actually working with each other brought so much good will and harmony. Only country I did not go to was Russia - so corrupt that it’s very hard for any U.S. company to do business in Russia. The Middle East was actually an incredible experience. Sports does this too. When people actually connect, amazing things can happen.

Only caution on Geno is that if this happened in Florida, there are many 3 lane highways with 40 mph speed limits that are extremely easy to go 75 mph without creating any danger. They do it because they are within city limits. I have no idea of the details of the incident - just throwing some caution out there.

Understand your thinking on the Florida roads but after his latest misadventure I gotta agree the low profile route was the better option.

Mike Z's avatar

I understand what you are saying, but doing 75 on any county or municipal road, especially in Florida, is just plain stupid, no matter how many lanes there are. And about creating danger, what about the danger to yourself and your passengers if something does happen in a single-car accident ???

As you approach your 38th OMG David you are still just a baby. My kids are older than you but I will agree that on the occasion I have long days and late nights recovering is much more difficult than days long past. Geno needs to get it together. I will say not knowing where he got his ticket but know some about driving in Florida there are area where the speed limit drops from 70 to 45 or less in a very short distance and in some areas there are even billboards warning of speed traps.

I lived in Florida for 5 years Scott and you have a point. I know that posted speeds can change rapidly from municipality to municipality, and now it even happens on 95 when you pass through certain counties in certain states where the speed limit can go from 70 to 50 in what seems to be a heartbeat and then right back up to 70 again. But it still is a big question, where did this happen ??? On many county and municipal roads, doing 75 is just plain stupid. And supposedly not having his license with him and/or issues with his registration makes it even worse. Forrest Gump was right, "stupid is as stupid does", but finding out the actual truth of the matter is what's important. But let's just say it would be unsurprising.

Bad enough with the speeding, but he had no license on him plus one report said something about a car issue, license plate???

Ron Alexander's avatar

Bobber, According to a recent article this was not his first reckless driving incident.

I posted this in Ron Alexander’s Facebook group. He had posted about Geno’s latest escapade.

“ Geno is starting to look just like Geno the rookie who was doing stupid, ignorant things back then.

In other places on Facebook, fans are ripping Cimini for making a big deal about it.

Sorry, but as far as I am concerned, I don’t need any asshole doing 70 on a 45 mph road that either me, my wife, my son or his daughters are driving on.

Plus the fact he had no license on himself.

After all the nonsense over his alleged situation with his girlfriend, any relatively intelligent human being was say to themselves, “ I better cool it, this doesn’t look good right now.

On the face of it, Geno is probably a one year rental but for a management team that wants to change the look of the franchise, Geno is really f**king things up.”

WORLD CUP

David, you can give yourself and your country’s soccer team a nice pat on the back for the following

The epic World Cup Round of 16 match between England and Mexico on July 5, 2026, became the most-watched soccer game in U.S. television history. The thrilling 3-2 England victory at Estadio Azteca drew a staggering combined audience of roughly 44.8 million viewers across Fox and Telemundo.The unprecedented viewership shattered previous records, with a breakdown of the numbers as follows:

Fox: Drew an average of 21.7 million viewers, making it the most-watched English-language World Cup match not featuring the United States.

Telemundo: Attracted 23.2 million viewers, cementing it as the most-watched Spanish-language soccer telecast in U.S. history.

The historic matchup eclipsed the 42 million viewers who tuned in to watch the USMNT vs. Belgium game the following day, even rivaling the ratings of NFL playoff games.

I completely agree with your comments about his speeding offence. There were over 1,600 deaths caused by drivers in the UK in 24 and over 39,000 in the US in the same year. I wonder how many of those were innocents just going about their business? Speeding is not OK.

Mike Z's avatar

Wow David, I didn't realize that you were a such young whippersnapper, lolololol. My son will be 44 this November and my daughter was 31 this past May. My grandkids will be 19 and 20 in July and August, respectively.

As far as the World Cup is concerned, the reactions of foreign fans to just about everything here in the US was amazing. The number of film clips about such things as portion size, free refills, the amazing food, Walmart, Bucc-ee's, kindness from our citizens and especially air conditioning are all over the multiverse. The funniest videos are the ones where a European fan cobbled together one when they went home comparing portion sizes from here and when they went back. It's just hilarious to watch. There have been some really heartwarming instances of our citizens helping out foreign fans that shocked the visitors. It really goes against the hogwash propagated about the US and its citizens.

As far as Geno is concerned, no one should be overly surprised that things are happening, it's just pro athletes being pro athletes and their sense of entitlement.

Thanks to David for finding jets news that we need to know. Geno is not a long term stock that will grow for you. He is a flawed short term commodity that has relationship and driving issues. Speeding and driving without a license!

At some point in the coming season Geno will get hurt or play badly or both. The second QB and maybe the third QB will have to play. The GM has been negligent in not getting better options - both Cook and Zappe should not be on the expanded roster.

Multi billion dollar operation - and it is -,to a very large extent - in the hands of dim wit

Bobber's avatar

I normally don’t follow ex- Jets but I don’t recall Geno doing dumb things while he was with the Giants, Chargers, Seahawks and Raiders.

He might have but it couldn’t have been such a big deal.

It must be something in the New Jersey air or water.

I think it's the ghost of Jimmy Hoffa............lolololololol

I am stating for the record right now what you will read next by me is NOT racial or Poltical. I am simply making a point. Here in America there are a abbreciations "DWI" drinking while intoxicated* "DWB" driving while black (which i learned in a law class i took in college). In other words don't give anyone an excuse to pull you over. Back in the hey days of Beatles, Stones (they still doing it LOL) we would drive around smoking pot blasting our 8-tracks but always going the speed limit. Dont give anyone a excuse to pull you over. This is also the main concern of safety. When i was having a 'hissy' foot about signing this guy i thought more about his play being bad. I due remember him to be a total jerk and still is. Lay low as you say David. They need to sign a veteran and a decent one which may require a pick as now i see this detroying all the good vibes that has transpired about the Jets this year.

As far as Soccer goes and being honest here - sorry David - i cant sit here and watch 0-0 or 1-1. I tried the last World Cup and i just cant get into it. I am sure you are doing Yoemens work as you always do. Sleep will come soon. With the Mets stinking Wembleton is my only sports this summer till camps open. GO JANNEK SINNER !

Ron Alexander's avatar

Steve, yeah, the soccer? I tried. I really did. 🥱😴😴😵‍💫😴😴😴😴

Scott's avatar

I had a totally different soccer experience I found it exciting and fun to watch. I did take the time to do some research so I had some understanding of what was going on. The only I can’t figure out is penalties a guy can get mauled and nothing is called and then a good actor gets a penalty for his team.

Ron Alexander's avatar

Scott, happy for you my brother! Again, the backwards passing 🤦‍♂️gave me Zack vibes😂I get it, it’s part of the game! Just not my thing!

Scott's avatar

Seemed like maybe the US team was seeing ghosts when they played Belgium. Just for you Ron since you mentioned Zack.

Mike Z's avatar

Wasn't it Sam Darnold who saw the "ghosts" in New England ??

Scott's avatar

Yes. I realized that mistake right after I hit post.

Ron Alexander's avatar

Scott, yeah, that about nails it😂

Steve B's avatar

Really Ron - i know 😀

Supposedly Jets are showing interest in recently arrested ex-Lion corner Arnold

Mike Z's avatar

I saw that this morning on Jet-X, and since the report is supposedly from his agent, I'd like to hear something from the Jets about it. On the face of it, the charges are pretty serious and for the Lions to drop him so quickly, they might have more information available to them. I don't think anyone should go near him until more information is available. Even if he just dreamed up the plan, that's a serious intent as far as legalities go. That's definitely not using your head.

Bobber's avatar

Have the butterflies started yet?, lol

Hopefully you will get an early birthday gift tonight

I’ll be rooting for you and the Three Lion team tonight

I hope you and your family have an enjoyable weekend and a wonderful birthday celebration on Monday.

I'm starting to think that signing Geno was a HUGE mistake. Driving 75 in a 40 mph zone is just plain nuts. It's self-destructive and likely could seriously injure or kill someone else. The Jets better be having a "come to Jesus" moment with Geno and telling him to get his ass under control or he will be toast.

Did he have these problems with the Seahawks? Raiders? or other team that he played for? If not, why are they happening now?
