Pure nonsense in any thought of taking this guy ! Happy Birthday David - Sinner winning Wembleton yesterday was great action close to 4 hours. My summer sports without Mets. While I’m not following it - congrats on England winning.

Thanks Steve! I missed the final yesterday but I read that it was a great contest.

Nerves are building for Wednesday, against the old enemy. Unfortunately I can guarantee there will be fights before, during and after the game.

Ugh and I don’t know why

David Wyatt-Hupton's avatar

Me either. It's absolutely pathetic. But something happens when England and Argentina fans meet each other. Argentina fans were already fighting in Times Square with some other teams.

Steve B's avatar

Ugh and senseless

David Wyatt-Hupton's avatar

Agreed. Unfortunately I've seen that Argentina fans have been setting fire to British flags in Atlanta and singing songs about the Falklands War (which they lost i might add). Pointless.

Today’s Athletic has a large primer about today’s game between France and Spain.

They wrote that today’s game should have been the final not a semi- final but then added this.

The funniest part in all this? Despite the magnitude of the matchup in Dallas, tomorrow’s semifinal in Atlanta is a much hotter ticket.

As of Sunday night, tickets to the second semifinal, England against Argentina, on Wednesday are selling for around twice as much as tickets to the first semifinal, France vs Spain, a day earlier.

The get-in price for England-Argentina — in other words, the cheapest ticket available — jumped to nearly $3,000 (£2,242) on resale sites Saturday night soon after the matchup was set.

The get-in for France-Spain, on the other hand, has continued to fall over the past week, from a high of more than $3,600 on July 4 to less than $1,400 (£1,046) on Sunday, per TicketData.com.

Hard pass! Geno is enough drama and risk for this offseason after the last 4-5 years. And remember we always have the simmering prospect of Woody doing something stupid to disrupt the Jet landscape.

Happy Birthday David!

Congratulations on successfully completing another journey around the calendar sir. Happy yo hear your blokes are still in it but I will reserve congratulations until the deed is done. As a Mets/Jets/Knicks fan I know better then to celebrate anything other then the big prize. Way too many consolation chapters for my teams. Fortunately my Knicks finally broke that chain. As for Arnold it’s a definite “NO” for me. I agree we really don’t need the drama that will come to whatever team ends up with Arnold. And frankly I’m feeling a lot better about our CB room these days. It’s probably not gonna be a major strength but it won’t be the position that dooms us to another year of lousy football.

Should the Jets Take a cha-cha-cha-chance

Since in the U.S., you are innocent until proven guilty, but based on previous decisions that have been by Glenn in his first year, this whole Arnold interest is definitely Aaron Glenn driven.

Speaking just like Arnold’s lawyer, we have no proof that Woody put Mougey 100% in charge of player acquisition, but based on previous past actions by Woody. You really can’t say that the whole Jet Justin Field marriage didn’t sit right with him.

The Fields catastrophic move was Glenn’s biggest splash and his worst among other decisions that he made in his inaugural first season.

Woody just might have given Mougey total control.

I can’t see Mougey getting involved just based on his moves since the 2025 season was over.

Mougey has shown that he has a plan. It doesn’t seem plausible that he would “ Take a cha-cha-cha-chance” with an apparent headache to disrupt it.

There have been countless articles this offseason that deduce that Glenn is on the 🔥seat, very, very few that Mougey is in the same position

Putting Arnold’s “ supposed “ legal problems aside, he has not lived/played up to his draft position. He is really not worth the trouble.

Why should the Jets take a cha-cha-cha-chance.

Hats off to David, when breaking down the future Jet roster, he spoke glowingly about UDFA cornerback Mory Bamba. He was glad that the Jets were “ Taking a cha-cha-cha-chance” with him.

From a website called NFL TR ( trade rumors ), they had an article about their top single UDFA from every NFL team.

Maestro , drum roll please

Jets: BYU CB Mory

Bamba

The Jets hit BYU hard after the draft, double-tapping specialists by snaring LS Garrison Grimes and K Will Ferrin. Both could conceivably start if they beat out veteran competitors. ( Yes Ferrin didn’t last a week)

They also added to the secondary by snagging Bamba, who is one of the most athletic corners in this entire class. A former track athlete, Bamba ran a 4.29 40-yard dash at 6-2 and 193 pounds.

In terms of size/speed traits, it's hard to get much better at corner.

His agility testing and length didn't quite live up to that elite standard but it's well worth the

bet to see if HC Aaron Glenn and his defensive staff can mold

Bamba into a decent zone corner.

Sorry for my constant “Take a cha-cha-cha-chance” references today. But those words come from the Beatle hit BIRTHDAY.

No David, we did not forget that today is your big day.

I guess you thought we would forget.

Ha, not a chance in the world you young bugger.

From all of us to you

🎊🎉🎂 Happy Birthday and many more 🍺🍻🍻🍺

Bobber, it's no big surprise that Glenn would think he could "handle" Arnold and his situation and be a savior. He thought the same thing about Brandon Stephens and look how that has turned out. Unless he has some miraculous, Lourdes-type renaissance, he will be the low man on the totem pole, especially if Wright can show he can do better in coverage.

Bobber's avatar

His 4 years as DC in Detroit and 1 year as HC, HIS units were bottom 10? 8? 4 times out of 5.

Not exactly a Defensive Guru.

When Wilks was fired, instead of jumping in, helping the defense, he let an assistant defensive coach take over as the season circled the drain.

There wasn’t one thing that he did last year that fans could say, “ Wow, What a move.”

So, another no for Arnold.

Mike Z's avatar

And another thing that just hit me. Terrion's agent must be an idiot, or very desperate. And yes, I really don't have a lot of confidence in Glenn's "superpower", lol.

Otanjoubi Omedetou Gozaimasu Wyatt-Hupton-Sama !!!!!!!! Enjoy your day !!!!!!!

And yeah, Arnold is an extremely liquid-nitrogen style hard NO !!!! He's a walking Forrest Gump quote which we all know.

The in-depth piece The Athletic wrote back on July 6th shed some light on the goings on of Terrion Arnold and his inner circle in the leadup to the kidnapping. It was an excellent look at the people Arnold kept around and I'm not particularly impressed. A person's friends aren't a complete statement of who that person is, but it is certainly supporting evidence of who that person is. To crib from the famed criminal mastermind of HBO lore, Stringer Bell once asked his underlings whether they were "taking notes on a criminal...conspiracy." These fellas most definitely were, and the in depth "notes" these men (and a couple of women) were taking on this criminal enterprise are startlingly moronic. I'm not going to act like I know for a fact that Terrion knew about what was going on, but it would be helpful if there were concrete evidence of him talking with his compatriots about having been burgled and, perhaps, his insistence that his knucklehead friends that they not engage in any knucklehead behavior. Alas...that evidence hasn't emerged. Right now, his profile reads as a young man who surrounds himself with problematic hangers on and hasn't matured to the point that he starts acting like an adult in all facets of his life. Is he worth a check-in based on pre-incident league-wide assumption that he was a fine, mature, and upstanding young man? Certainly. Do I think that, barring some unforeseen disclosure of information not privvy to the general public, they'll move forward with offering a tryout? No. I don't.

Read that Athletic piece, though. It's wild and deeply troubling that these kids thought any of this was okay.

My thoughts exactly Dan !!!!!! It's not worth the bandwidth to report anything about this jaboney and his not-so-merry band of thugs.

Craig Collins's avatar

IMO there's no way that the Jets should have any serious interest in Arnold unless or until he is cleared of all charges. I can't imagine that he will be. Why would 3 random guys kidnap and torture a couple of guys because they suspected them of stealing stuff that belonged to someone they didn't even know? Under the circumstances, I wouldn't have any interest if Arnold had been All Pro his first two seasons in the NFL, and with the way he has played to date, I especially have zero interest in him.

If Mougey signs off on adding Arnold, I will turn against Mougey. I think this is all Glenn.
