Within the least shocking growth of the last decade, NFL Community is performing a cleanup on aisle 5 so as to appease one of many 32 individuals who personal the operation.
Earlier this week, Colleen Wolfe mentioned on the Across the NFL podcast {that a} “very dependable supply” advised her that, on Sunday evening in Orlando, a “very heated dialog” occurred between Jets proprietor Woody Johnson and Jets coach Robert Saleh. The Jets had been sad with the report. Earlier right now, Johnson took to X and known as it “irresponsible.”
Wolfe has now apologized, partially.
“Relating to my feedback surrounding the Jets on the @AroundTheNFL podcast: no, I used to be not on the Annual Assembly and sure, I used to be advised of the alternate between head coach Robert Saleh & Woody Johnson by somebody in attendance,” she mentioned. “Others on-site Sunday evening have since reached out and described the interplay in a different way. My intent wasn’t to interrupt information, I depart that to the insiders. My sincerest apologies to the Jets group for the pointless distraction throughout such an important a part of their offseason.”
Whereas she apologized for creating an “pointless distraction” to the group, she has not retracted the unintended report. She says she was advised concerning the alternate by somebody in attendance, an unnamed supply she initially mentioned was “very dependable.” She says others (probably, individuals who work for the Jets and thus have a transparent bias in portray issues a sure manner) have “described the interplay in a different way.” Absent a repudiation of the supply, this one now falls into the “cheap minds could differ” class, at greatest.
Right here’s the place cheap minds received’t differ. The Jets had been and are pissed about this. They don’t have to have a imprecise sense of actual battle and pressure between the proprietor and the top coach because the 2024 season approaches. They’re doing what they need to do to undo the harm.
Technically, Wolfe’s apology doesn’t actually do this. It introduces a special perspective. It doesn’t retract what she initially mentioned. Her supply advised her it was “very heated” and acquired “just a little awkward.” Till she says the supply was mistaken and/or the supply comes out and says it himself or herself, now we have two completely different views on the identical scenario.
